ABS FIESTA REDUX

[carolcat]

Cualli takes a sip from her drink. "Yeah, I suppose with seeing it all the time, it just kind of becomes something that's there." She pauses to knock back the rest of her drink. "My parents told me that they'd never seen snow before they moved to Aesthia, that they were really confused the first time they saw it in person." Cualli smiles slightly at the thought.

[Ad Bot]

[Badger]

: From what I've heard about your casualty rate, that may not be such a bad thing.

"I think that save for a couple, I've seen all of those Casualties meet their fate on mission."

Walter look up at the clock and watches the second hand slowly tick rhythmically

"Makes me wonder who's going to be left when this is done."

[Tayasaurus]

: What's something strong? I'll take that.

Tippy turns to the bartender

"[Unintelligible Brand Name]. Not sure if i prounounced that right but it's the Porlaqian stuff. For both of us, please."

[NoZoner]

["You wanna go do something or does work have you busy?"]

Lorens blinks.

"[Work's got me busy. I'll probably be at the office for a few more hours,]" he sighs. "[Alright Ash, I gotta go. When I get back though, we're definitely gonna tear stuff up!]"

He waves at Ash before disappearing around the corner.

Eremit just pours himself another drink, expecting you to continue your train of thought.

: Who knows? You guys always seem to get the dangerous sorties.

Tippy turns to the bartender

The bartender informs you that the trade embargo against Porlaq has resulted in the liquor being rather pricey, but pours you two some shots anyway. Nagato, unaware of what she's in for, dives right in and puts the shot away. Her eyes widen and she has to cover her mouth to not spit it back out all over the bar.
: Damn it, what the hell is that stuff!? It's like drinking liquid metal that came out of a-

She catches herself and lowers her voice before continuing.
: Sewer... or something. I don't mean to sound so ungrateful, sorry.

Tippy gives a hearty laugh and lightly slaps the counter.

"Well you did say you needed something strong. So i took it a step further and had them pour you a train! Sometimes we need a swift kick to the head so we don't become consumed with grief. I drink this when I'm upset. It reminds me of..."

Tippy gets a thoughtful look on her face.

"It reminds me of Aiori.  And how she would want me to keep my head held high, even under some very sour circumstances."

[carolcat]

"Maybe it helps that snow isn't something I'm used to seeing all the time. I'm sure that if I had to put up with it all the time then I'd see it as an inconvenience."

"...I grew up further south, so I didn't see it a lot growing up." She grins a bit after knocking back her drink. "Almost feels like a treat whenever it snows."

"Do you miss it?" Cualli asks.

[Badger]

: Who knows? You guys always seem to get the dangerous sorties.

"I've got an odd perception that I'm going to make it through fine and I don't feel very threatened. You'd think getting hit with a laser would knock some sense into me but I still believe it."

He motions his hand over behind Frisk

"Especially if you see someone like Yui who keeps cheating death."

: Well, this is a kick alright. Is this the stuff she got drunk on back in the Delta?

: ...Uh huh. Sounds more like that laser knocked a few screws loose.

[Tayasaurus]

: Well, this is a kick alright. Is this the stuff she got drunk on back in the Delta?

Tippy snapped out of her thoughtful trance

"I don't think she got drunk. That was me. She called me a lightweight after a few rounds and i scampered off somewhere to hurl. I'm building up a resistance though! Hard to believe it was that long ago..."

[Badger]

Walter just shrugs and goes back to reading

"Whatever works."

[Gojira]

"He's not wrong, I should be dead at least four or five times over."

[Deoxys And One Noob]

Justin Tabriel exists again.

He wonders if his F-15 MTD has arrived, and goes to the mess hall to eat.

[carolcat]

Cualli reaches for the remote. "You watch any sports?" she asks as she turns the TV on, revealing that she previously left it on a sports channel currently displaying coverage of some motorsports.

: Huh. Could've sworn she drank herself stupid and you had to help her get back to base.

Walter just shrugs and goes back to reading

Frisk stops talking, somewhat unsettled.

Cualli reaches for the remote. "You watch any sports?" she asks as she turns the TV on, revealing that she previously left it on a sports channel currently displaying coverage of some motorsports.

He seems moderately interested in what's on TV.
: Yeah. Mostly hockey and the 4x4 races that we had back home.
