Ok, so. First off, sorry about Tuesday- long story short, the puppies experienced their first thunderstorm and woke my ass up, so I'd had about 2 hours of sleep between monday and work on tuesday- got home and was damn close to sticking myself for an IV so I could crank more caffene into my system to stay up long enough to run- got talked out of it. I still think it would have been fun, but whatever. anyway. Archives here: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Strike%20witches%201989Pastebin character sheet here: http://pastebin.com/zFxWNup1The pastebin works pretty well as a jumping in point for the quest if you're interested and don't want to muck about with a massive archive binge. if you wanna just jump straight in, hey, feel free, and either I or one of the guys can get you up to speed for the thread. ++“I thought you said she didn't have anything for us?” You ask Slider, shifting your flight bag to your other hand as you walk down the hallways of the castle towards your commander's office. “She doesn't.” Slider responds. “But that doesn't mean she doesn't want to talk to you.” You look over at her, quirking an eyebrow. She grins and taps you on the shoulder. “You just finished a check ride, and she wants to know if you're ready to get this thing started proper. The matrons seem to think it means you are.”You snort. “It's-” “Don't tell me, dingus. Tell her.” She says. “I'll see soon enough, they've tapped practically the whole squadron as aggressors.”“Oh jeeze.” You groan. “All of you?”“Not at once, loverboy. Not like you could handle it.” She says, tapping you on the side of your helmeted head. “But we've known you the longest, and we've got the most experience watching you in flight. We're going to be showing the rest of them what you can do.”1/3 (probably)
“How many of you aggressors are there?” You ask, looking at her again. She shrugs. “There's us, the only ones out of the squadron that aren't going to be flying against you is going to be the twins, maybe Goose. The matrons aren't interested in what you can do against other jets.”“Oh, is that how they phrased it?” You ask, chuckling. “Not quite,” She says, shaking her head, “But they're getting anxious. Hell, half of got on Tabby when she wouldn't release your flight plan so they could send witches after you this morning.”“They... have no idea how this shit works, do they?” You ask, surprised. She shakes her head again. “Not really, no. Frank, think about it. We're taught, all the way from our first striker tests out to when we're sent to the fleet or wherever, that no man, no machine, nothing, even comes close to a witch. Nothing. We won the world war, not all the armies of men. You think they give a shit about how you silly men and your flying machines work?” “Well, put like that-” You start, the realization hitting you of just what that means. “No.” She says, bluntly. “They don't. Most of them don't have the vaguest idea how a steelwing operates past where it affects witches. Hell, none of us did, 'till we met you and started doing some reading. To them, this was you going off to play with your toy alone and Ice covering for you 'cos she smitten. Or smut. Or whatever.”“She sure doesn't show it real well.” You note. “Pay more attention, asshead.” Slider scolds, stopping in front of Ice's office door. “You'd see it if you looked.” 2/3
She opens the door suddenly, striding into the office like she owns the place. Which, you think, she probably kind of does. Inside, Ice sits, her head in her hands. She gestures to the chairs in front of her desk and looks up at the two of you, exhaustion written all over her face. “Thanks Rachel.” She says, her voice level, if a bit fatigued. “How's Samantha?” Slider shrugs. “Safe and sound with her beau.” She responds. “He's damn good at not being anywhere on earth when people are looking for the two of them. She'll be fine.” Ice nods. “Good.” She turns to you. “Frank, how did it go?” [] “Everything looks fine, boss. We're ready to go whenever you say so.”[] “We got a chance to check it out, but there's still some things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.”
>>30376571>[X] “We got a chance to check it out, but there's still some things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.”Slider's asshat image would've been more appropriate here.
>>30376571>[] “We got a chance to check it out, but there's still some things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.”
>>30376571>[x] “We got a chance to check it out, but there's still some things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.”Maybe being a bit too cautious but again we've only had one flight in her since all the upgrades. Best night of the week since the quest is running!>Not at once, loverboy. Not like you could handle itWe couldn't even handle one Tomcat.
[] “Everything looks fine, boss. We're ready to go whenever you say so.”
[] “We got a chance to check it out, but there's still some things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.”It will probably piss off the matrons to hell and back but our safety comes first.
>>30376571>[x] “Everything looks fine, boss. We're ready to go whenever you say so.”
>>30376571>[X] “We got a chance to check it out, but there's still some things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.”One test is not nearly enough to declare ANYTHING fit for service.
>>30376571>[] “We got a chance to check it out, but there's still some things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.”GOTTA GO FAST
>>30376571Let rhe old bints simmer. Safety first
>>30376571>[x] “We got a chance to check it out, but there's still some things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.”matrons get fucked
You guys, just dropping in to say that I've got a surprise thing I'm gonna post at the end of the thread, so stick around!
>>30376571[] “We got a chance to check it out, but there's still some things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.”
>>30376571>[] “We got a chance to check it out, but there's still some things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.”Merlin says the Jet's getting antsy. That it wants to go faster, fly harder.
>>30376753you seem to be rather busy merc, i would love to see it. i love to see how much Trudy got caught up on her book reading last thread, did you update the paste bins to show it yet?
>>30376813That's Schteel, not Merc.
>>30376753Rex/Ghost sweet loving?
>>30376867One can only hope.
>>30376867I'd be down for a Rex Quest.
>>30376836(looks again) damn it. sorry. i wasn't looking at the name right. I'm rather embarrassed at this.
>>30376867A bit early for Lewd Ghost talk anon.
>>30376867oh gods yes!
>>30376918Never too early.
Slider is bestgirl, and is a pure maiden.Ice is second best, and is an acceptable substitute.The rest suck.
>>30376955>substitute.I read that as prostitute for a second....I like your tastes...though Ice is best girl and slider is best
>>30377034It's absolutely adorable how they're each trying to set us up with the other.Two-For-One route?
Strikers 89 running on my birthday? Today is a good day.[X] Everything looks fine, boss. We're ready to go whenever you say so.”
>>30376571>[] “We got a chance to check it out, but there's still some things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.”>>30377063i wish
>>30377063I can see us locking them both in a closet to get that shit sorted with the conditions that Slider doesn't use blackmail and Ice doesn't try to pull rank.
>>30377264Slider only uses blackmail to get Tabby to relax while and since when Ice uses rank?
>>30377264>us locking them both in a closet So you mean just shutting one of those damn closet doors on them. Do those things still lock from the inside?
[x] “We got a chance to check it out, but there's still some things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.” You shrug, setting your flight bag down next to your chair. “We got a chance to check it out and run it up to full blowers and tool around a bit, but there's still a few things I'd like to try out in a controlled environment first.” You say, leaning back in the chair. “We really didn't get a chance to do any acrobatics, and I really need to know if she's going to behave differently.”She nods. “I figured you were going to say that. I can probably buy you one, maybe two more flights, but I'm not sure. Even Matron O'Hare is starting to ask, and she's been the most reasonable of the lot of them by far.” Slider looks over. “Does she even have her pet aggressor here? Or is that us?” Ice shakes her head. “She's due in today, she was down in the med. That's the only thing I know about her so far, honestly.” 1/2
She indicates a stack of records and dossiers on her desk- up in the top corner, where she probably never looks. “She's in there somewhere, I'm sure, but I've been trying to catch up on the last of the things from the fleet and Berlin.” Slider's eyes narrow. “What did I say about-”Ice makes a slow down gesture with both of her hands. “I know, I know. This is the last of it though, and there wasn't that much.”For her part, Slider doesn't look convinced. “When's the last time you slept more than three hours at a stretch. If you can't tell me, I'm going to have Frank carry your ass to bed. You have three seconds. One, Two, Thr-”“You wouldn't.” Ice says. “And he wouldn't. I still have things to do here, Rachel. The work from Berlin is mostly done, then there's just a couple requests for information I have to sign off on and I'm done, ok?”[] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss.[] As long as you promise to get some rest as soon as you're done, Slider and I will leave ya alone.
>>30377333[X] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss."You hold her legs slider."
>>30377333>[] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss.
>>30377333>[x] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss.
>>30377333>[X] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss.Sleep is God, Ice must worship.
>>30377333>[] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss. boss' wellbeing is our wellbeing
>>30377333>[x] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss.>And he wouldn't."Now I have to Ice."
>>30377333>[] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss."You get her legs, I'll get her arms."
[] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss.Pulling an all-nighter once in a while might work, but Ice seems the like type to do them all the time.
>>30377333>[] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss.Yes
>>30377333You have 30 minutes till,[X] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss.
>>30377389Heh yeah this. Complete with the smartass comment
>>30377389>"You got a choice Boss, Fireman's carry, Princess carry, or Tribal carry. One boring, one sweet, or one with rope."
>>30377333>[X] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss.Hmmm... should we go for a princess carry, or a plane ride on our shoulders?
>>30377530Not enough room for the planeride I imagine. Unless you wanna keep banging her into the roof or doorways.
>>30377530We get Slider to help us, then we lock the two in a room and yell "Don't come out until you decide who gets the dick and who doesn't, because I sure as heck can't decide."
>>30377559We can go fast and low.
>>30377576And then suddenly we slip on a rug or something and faceplant into the floor because it would just happen. Would look really horrible on our records.
>>30377559here we have the saying "Vaak buj te bange" which means "Usually you are just afraid".for this situaition i'll just say vaak buj te bange
>>30377839What I can I say. I like playing safe.As safe as carrying a maybe reluctant and quite possibly struggling witch to her sleeping quarters can be.
>>30377872It'll likely only be a token struggle.Heh.
>>30377872It's okay though b/c she's probably going to enjoy it.
>>30377518I kind of like this. Let's add this/
>>30377900>>30377897Or at least turn red as a tomato.
>>30377333>>30377518>[x]"You got a choice Boss, Fireman's carry, Princess carry, or Tribal carry. One boring, one sweet, or one with rope."
>>30378027>>30377518Oh god, this. We've been playing so nice, it's only fair.
>>30377333>[x]"You got a choice Boss, Fireman's carry, Princess carry, or Tribal carry. One boring, one sweet, or one with rope."
[x] Oh, we totally would. You can finish that shit later, boss.You look over at Slider, who nods slightly. You then Look back at Ice. “Well, you know, since you said I wouldn't, I'm kind of honor bound to do it now.” You say, standing up. “But I'm nice, I'll give you the option. Princess, Fireman, or Tribal?”Slider snorts. “Where are you going to find the rope?” You look over at her and jerk your head at Ice. “If she said tribal you cannot tell me you wouldn't tear this place apart looking for one.”She laughs. “Good point. Besides, I know where some is.” “I figured as much.” “Wait!” Ice says, scooting her chair back away from her desk and towards the wall. “You can't be serious. What if someone sees?” Slider shrugs. “Threeeeee wayyyyyyy!” She trills. “Hell, Tabby, most of them think he belongs to one of us already anyways, that's like, half... nah, three quarters of the gossip around here, and Patty ain't helping. So they talk more, who cares?” “I might!” Ice responds. “I do have to look responsible, you know!” “So you work yourself till you're practically falling over and snapping at the matrons?” She snorts. “Yeah, pfft, real good, Tabby. Besides, you know that neither of us will stick around anyway. Now, answer the man.”“I am not going to be carried through this castle like a sack of potatoes.” Ice says, her voice almost petulant “Alright!” You exclaim, happily. “Princess carry it is.” “Wait, no that's not what I meant!” She protests as you step in, picking her up. “Frank! Put me down!” 1/3
“Sure. Once we're up to your room and you're in bed.” You say, mentally noting that she's not really struggling all that much. “Can't go against your exec, you know.”“My exec is a bitch.” She responds. “I have work to do.” “If by work, you mean sleep, then yes! You do!” Slider says, happily leading the way. “The world won't come to a screeching halt just because you're not doing paperwork for twelve hours.” “I'm not going to be sleeping for twelve hours, Raich.” Ice says. “I'll be lucky to get four before someone wakes me up.”“Unless that someone is Frank, it's not gonna happen.” Slider says. “And don't fuck with me, Tabby, or I'll make it even longer.”“You can't do this, you know.” Ice says, suppressing a yawn. “I can just leave if I want to.” “Ya know, Tab, I can't help but notice that you're not really fighting this. Something you'd like to share with the class?” Slider responds, nodding to a passing witch, who just grins and nods, knowingly. Ice blushes. “I-I.. I.. ““Yeah, you, you.” Slider says, laughing again. “Maybe we shoulda gone for the tribal carry, Frank. I wonder how that would have gone?” “I have no idea.” You reply honestly. “I mean, you have rope for that?” 2/3
She snorts. “Of course.” She says, opening the door to their shared quarters and indicating the bed on the right side of the room. “Put her on that one, then let's go.”You set Ice down on the bed, and she immediately sits up when you step back. Slider points a warning finger at her. “Don't make me come over there and tuck you in, I'm crazy, I'll do it.”Ice folds her arms across her chest. “I'm not changing till you two leave.” “Fair enough. I'll be back to check later. If you're not in here, asleep, I'm sending someone over with the rope, got it? And no, you won't like it.” Ice flushes a deeper shade of red. “Good. Let's go, Frank.” Slider says, stepping out of the room. She closes the door behind you as you step out. “God, that girl is gonna overwork herself to death.” She complains, before looking over at you. “Well, drop your shit, change if you need to. I guess I'm your minder for the day.”“Should be Interesting.” you respond, shouldering your flight bag. “Shouldn't it just. Where to first?” She says. [] Well, I'd like to go talk with Merlin about this morning's flight, get her opinion. [] I haven't eaten since morning chow, let's talk food. And get food. Mostly get food.

[] (Write in!)You shrug, looking back over your shoulder at your room, down the hall. “Well, I haven't eaten since morning chow, but I really could use a shower.” “You can say that again. You smell, Frank.” Slider responds. “So can you bring me something I can eat in the shower?” You finish, looking back over at her. “Can I... no. I can't. Try again, there, chuckles.” She says. “You wanna shower first then go down and eat? I don't know who cooked, could be anything down there.” You shrug again, turning and heading back to your room to grab your hygene kit. “Well, worst case, we can always make sandwiches.” “Yeah, true.” She nods. “So, what, you're going to shower and eat all day?” “Well, I do think you said something about waking Ice up....” You say, grinning back at her over your shoulder. “Har-har.” She responds, making a face at you. “Girl needs her sleep, ya dink, and you don't need to be waking her up for that, even if she probably wouldn't complain a bit about it.” You elect to let that pass without comment, grabbing a change of clothes- no one's really told you what you're supposed to be wearing around here, so you're sticking with flight suits- you can always argue that you're just making sure you're ready to scramble if you have to, and so far, no one has said anything to you about it. You do need to get another couple pairs, though, you think- the ones you have are starting to wear out. The showers are a lot newer than the rest of the baths, added in the early 80s, you were told, for visiting men. You'd rather use the baths, on the floor below- you could use a soak- but it's too early in the day, and someone's probably down there. While you can think of a few witches you can't say you'd mind running into, there's too many you don't know- or would mind seeing in the bath- to be worth the risk. 1/2
As nice as the showers are, you don't think it's worth risking another close encounter of the Slider kind to stay in there very long- on a witch holding, she's got unrestricted access to her shotguns, and 'found' some ancient bean bag rounds somewhere. While she's calmed down a lot since Top gun, you still wouldn't put it past her to blast you if you were taking too long. Finally, clean and changed, you and Slider head down to the kichen. You open the door to see the twins sitting with Joe and a third witch, one you don't recognize. By the looks of her, though, she's related to them. “So then the asshole has the nerve to comment on our underwear!” She says, loudly. “I mean, I know I've got a nice ass, but really?” “I don't know Mar.” Alyssa says. “I mean, what else is a pilot supposed to say? And how did he sneak up on you anyway?” “Yeah.” Clarissa says, around a mouthful of her food. “Jets aren't exactly sneaky.” “I don't know, and I don't care. If the asshole isn't incredibly good looking I'm gonna strangle him.” the other witch- Mar?- says. “Ooh.” Alyssa responds. “Kinky.” Her sister finishes, looking over at you and Slider. “Hey Frank, Hey Rachel! You want some chow? We made some spamburgers.”[] Sure![] Uh... lemme check the fridge.

>>30381170This with the might of a thousand suns.
>>30381170A rough estimation on what we saw.
[x] Uh... lemme check the fridge. You look at the burgers- there's a few extra on a plate in the middle of the table. You're not a huge fan of spam, though, and it doesn't look like there's a bit of bacon on them. “I had something in mind, actually.” You say, after a second. “Lemme check the fridge.”“Ok, more for us then!” Alyssa says. “Oh, Frank, here. This is our big sister, Lieutenant commander Marissa Styles. She's off the Forrestal down in the Mediterranean. Mar, this is our wing leader, Lieutenant commander Frank Bishop.” Her eyes narrow a bit at the name- but she stands up long enough to offer a handshake. “So you're the one, huh?” She says, challenge in her eyes. You smirk. “So they tell me. That really was some nice underwear, by the way. Lace, huh?”“La- “ Her eyes widen in recognition. “That was YOU?” You nod. “One and the same. You should pay better attention, you know, jets aren't exactly quiet.” “Hmph.” She grunts, sitting back down. “You're lucky. And now you owe me.” “Oh, do I?” You ask, opening up the big refrigerator and eying it's contents with a hunter's gaze, looking for- and finding- the material for your sandwich. You are not a man to be trifled with when you're hungry. The twins watch with rapt attention as your sandwich takes shape- Joe grins when he recognizes it. You almost feel bad for whoever wanted these steaks, but they moved too slow, you think. You hope it wasn't someone important. 1/2
“Yeah, you do. You about scared my wing mate out of her skin. And it's kind of rude to just be oogling girls you don't even know.” She says. “It is?” Slider and Clarissa ask, almost at the same time. Slider actually walks over to hi-five Clarissa. “Yes, it is.” Marissa says. “I mean, you could at least take me out on a date first, you know.” “Careful, Mar.” Alyssa warns. “He's kinda spoken for.”“I am?” You ask. “Shit, no one told me.”“Well, ok, not really, but Katya kind of scares us.” Clarissa says. “And Slider and Ice-”“Slider isn't interested.” Slider interjects. “and Ice can be plenty scary on her own.” “Slider is a bad liar.” Alyssa says, interposing Joe between herself and Slider. “And it's kinda weird talking about you in the third person, you're right here.”You pay attention to the banter that continues only vaguely, taking a little while to cook the steaks you've pulled out of the fridge and make the rest of the preparations for your meal. Normally, this would take much longer, but you're hungry, so a certain level of rush is acceptable. Plus, you can cook well enough to pass. 2/3
You don't really have the time necessary to flatten it out properly- with constant weight applied over a longer period of time- so you opt for a quicker, but less effective method- it won't be a thin sandwich, by any means, but it'll still work. Putting a butcher's block on top of the thing, you walk over and pick slider up in a Fireman's carry- striking from ambush. She's quicker than you are, afterall. “Frank what-” She chokes out before you sit her squarely on top of the heavy block on top of your meal. “Sit there for like, five minutes for me.” You say. “And I'll make you your chow, deal?” She leans forward and nods. “Deal. You know the kind of sandwich I like. And no pickles.”Her food doesn't take nearly as long, being far less extravagant. Finally, you help her down and unwrap your food, noting it's flattened well enough for the time being. “So, what should I call you?” Marissa asks, as you sit down. [] Just call me Frank. [] Bishop works.
>>30382376>[] Just call me Frank.
>>30382376>[X] Just call me Frank.
>>30382376"Frank. Frank Bishop." Waggle eyebrows.
>>30382376>[] Just call me Frank
>>30382376"THE EAGLE OF TANANA, THE BUTCHER OF THE BERING SEA, LA MORTE BLANCHE, THE SILVER DEATH or Frank works too I guess."
>>30382376How many nicknames does Frank have now? List them all off... Have the other witches help too. Seems like a fun game to play. Well to me.Then. >[] Just call me Frank.
>>30382376[X]"Call me whatever you like. I'll just call you 'small time'."The bounce lord of Barin never dies.
>>30382376Seconding >>30382437
>>30382376This >>30382437Out of curiosity, what is Slider's favorite kind of sandwich?Also, our sandwhich better smell of Slider after she "helped" us out
>>30382470So she farted.
>>30382485You had to ruin it.
>>30382376>[x] Just call me Frank."I've got a dozen names but Frank will work, Lace.">“Sit there for like, five minutes for me.” You say. “And I'll make you your chow, deal?” If no one else was sleeping I'd laughing so damn hard right now.
>>30382376[X] Just call me Frank.
>>30382376>[x] Just call me Frank.
>>30382376>[] Just call me Frank.I'm surprised she's not offended by being used as a weight
>>30382508But thats my fetish.Its perfect.
>>30382582You gotta have some meat on your women, none of that skinny twig stuff. Though in this case you have a woman on your meat. Oh gods that wasn't lewd in my head!
>>30382522This. Her name is now Lace.
[] Just call me Frank.
>>30382704How could that not have sounded lewd in your head. It sure as shit sounds lewd in mine >_>>[x]Just call me Frank.
>>30382376[] Just call me Frank.
[x] Just call me Frank. “Well,” you say, cutting your sandwich into quarters. “I have lots of names. The Eagle of Tanana, Butcher of the Bering sea, La Morte Blanche, the silver death... it goes on. But you can call me Frank, Lace.” “You seem awful interested in my choice in underwear.” Marissa responds. “Like what you see?” “You'll have to get back to me on that.” You say, setting half the sandwich aside- you'll deal with that in a minute. You have to get back up to grab a pair of bottles of coke out of the fridge, handing one to Slider as you sit back down. “So how did you do that, anyway?” Marissa asks. “I mean, like you and my sisters said, Jets aren't exactly small and quiet.”“Luck, mostly.” You say. “Plus I kept our closure rate up and stayed in the clouds as much as I could.”“We were a good five thousand feet below the clouds.” She responds. “There's no way-”“It was more like eight.” You say. “And like I said, luck had a lot to do with it. I don't think I could pull that off again.”“How did you find us, anyway?” She asks. “We're not exactly big targets. You must have amazing eyes.”“I do.” You state. “And you stuck out over the farms out there. You don't see striker jets over the French countryside everyday.”1/2
She looks at your face, searching for any sign that you're bullshitting her. She shakes her head. “I don't know how you did it, but it was still pretty impressive.”“Anyway,” She says, standing up. “Nice meeting you, Frank. I'm sure we'll get to know each other much better while we're here. Aly, Claire, I'm headed up to my room.”You watch her go in silence, letting the door close before looking over at Alyssa. “You know, I should have made the connection earlier. You parents liked names that ended in issa, huh?” She nods. “Yeah, it's kinda sad. She came down to yell at us about Joe.”“She says it's wrong we brought him out here and put him in danger on the carrier and now stuck him here with us in a witch hold with no passport and nothing to do.” Clarissa says. “Except you two.” Slider provides. “Well, right.” Alyssa responds, bluntly. “Besides us, but you can't do that all the time.”“We can try. We did try.” Clarissa says. “But...”“But I don't need to hear this, I have enough mental scarring, thank you.” You say, finishing the half of your sandwich. “What are you gonna do with the other half?” Slider asks. [] “That's for Merlin. Kenji's a good kid, but he can't cook for shit.”[] “That's for the boss, when she wakes up.”
>>30383881Why must you make us choose?>That's for the boss. Gonna make another one for Merlin.
>>30383881>[] “That's for the boss, when she wakes up.”She ain't got time to cook.
>>30383881>[] “That's for Merlin. Kenji's a good kid, but he can't cook for shit.”
>>30383881Quickly! how well fed is Leetle seester?in she is not malnourished then the sandwich goes to the boss
>>30383881>[] “That's for the boss, when she wakes up.”
>>30383881>[] “That's for the boss, when she wakes up.”Boss needs to keep up her strength.
>>30383931This. Not like we have plans after we finish chow so may as well make sure Merlin has something and our existing spare can go towards Ice.
>>30383931This.
>>30383881>[x] “That's for Merlin. Kenji's a good kid, but he can't cook for shit.”
>>30383881"Not in front of the others, Slider. That's lewd."
>>30383881[] “That's for the boss, when she wakes up.”i would have thought that Merlin would be at least a competent cook herself.
>>30383881[X] “That's for the boss, when she wakes up.”
>>30383881>[] “That's for the boss, when she wakes up.”But this:>>30383931
>>30383931>This
>[] “That's for the boss, when she wakes up.”
>>30383881>[] “That's for Merlin. Kenji's a good kid, but he can't cook for shit.”gotta feed her proper otherwise she won't blossom into a good woman for Kenji
[] “That's for the boss, when she wakes up.”
>>30383881>[x] That's for the boss, when she wakes up.
>>30383881>[x] “That's for Merlin. Kenji's a good kid, but he can't cook for shit.”Best RIO comes first.
>>30383881 #>[x] That's for the boss, when she wakes up.Save it for our waifu.
>>30384533Shhh... No waifus, only planes.
>>30384162>>30383881And apparently 4chan ate my quotes and greentext?
>>30383881Gotta go with this: >>30383931>>30384601But what if planes are my waifu?Tomcat still best girl. She died gloriously...
>>30384937>spoilersLives on, Fronk's heart, etc.>>30383881[x] “That's for the boss, when she wakes up.”Why yes I do realize I'm late as fuck. Stupid cookies won't bake themselves yet.
How long until Frank gets augmented?
Marco.
>>30385526Polo.
>>30385526Polo
>>30385538>>30385542Well fuck. Two on one just isn't fair. Guess I'll have to use THAT.
>>30385585Reading 4chan at work - giving no fucks.
>>30385585Multiple people playing Marco Polo is just fine. What the fuck are you on about?
>>30385526TARMA!
>>30385585Imagine a over-the-top anime series about marco polo battles. >HA HA! You have just witnessed my secret technique passed on from 234759875 generations, MARCOMEGA!
GHOST IS FOR LEWDS
>>30385646Is this fueled by alcohol, illicit substances, or sleep deprivation?
>>30385623>What the fuck are you on about?Was nearly drowned once because of idiots while playing. It was not a good day. Said 'fuck that' to Marco Polo ever since.>>30385671Why not all three?
[x] “That's for the boss, when she wakes up.”“That's for the boss, when she wakes up.” You say, digging some plastic wrap out of the cabinets and putting it on a plate. “I'll make something else for Merlin later.” “Kenji cooks for her, ya know.” Slider says. “It's kind of adorable.” “Kenji can't cook for shit, and Merlin's too nice to do anything but try and eat it anyway.” You say. “She's been packing out snickers bars to the hangar and leaving the wrappers in the jet.”“That's....” Slider hesistates. “Really cute, actually.” “I'm sure.” You say, flatly. “But not healthy, either way. I'll make something up for her a little later. Till then, where's a safe place to stow this?” You indicate the half sandwich. Slider shrugs. “It ougghta be safe enough in the fridge, unless someone had plans for those ribeyes.” She says. “But if they did...”“If they did, I'm in trouble and Ice'll go hungry.” You think for a second. “What about waking her up, getting her to eat, and then sending her back to bed?”“Not gonna happen.” Slider says. “I wasn't kidding when I said the only she's going to be awake before oh six tomorrow morning is you two finally -”“Ok, I get the point.” You say, cutting her off. She smirks in response. “Besides, I'd only agree to that if you joined in.”1/3
“Ha-ha.” She says. “Don't tempt me, I just might, then you'd really have trouble.”“I should be so lucky.” You say. “Anyway, fine. You think this'll be safe here?” “Yeah, I'll stick a note on it. Most of them know not to screw with me.” She says, grabbing a napkin and pulling a pen out of her rolled sleeve. “Ya know, this is pretty sweet, too. You're worried about her.”“I'd be worried about any of you doing this shit to yourself. She's been burying herself in her work again, what gives?” You say, trying to keep the growl out of your voice. “She was getting better!” “Yeah, then Berlin happened.” She says. “Berlin was...”“Berlin was what?” You ask. “Ya know, I keep hearing about it, but no one ever tells me what was so amazing about it. So what happened?” Slider shakes her head. “I don't really know what to say.” She says. “You... I don't know.” That's the first time you've ever heard her like that. She shakes her head again. “You need to ask Katya or Ice. They can explain it better. Frank, you had upwards of sixty fighters and a dreadnaught shooting at you, you came out totally untouched. Even with a shield, that shit was inhuman. Completely unreal. Talk to Ice about it, I mean it.”You nod. “It's sounding like I have to. You guys keep going on about it and-”2/3
>>30385712>“Besides, I'd only agree to that if you joined in.”Oh yes.
“And we're doing that because it should not have happened.” She says. “Ice is burying herself in work and hiding the fact that she was scared it was Tanana all over again, except this time you wouldn't be coming home.” “Shit,” She grunts. “She still is.” “So that's why?” You ask. “It's me again? Shit.”She shrugs. “Look, to be fair, she had a lot of work dumped on her desk when we landed here.” She says. “You're a lot of it, but it's not like it's all worry on her part. Just... I don't know, Frank. Either talk to her or help her sort through it... or...” She trails off. “...or?” You ask, confused. “Or we make her fly against you first and you pull out all the stops.” She says, suddenly. “No holds barred shit. It'd be perfect- she knows what she's capable of, if you do unholy things to that ass of hers in the air maybe she'll realise we're right and you can take care of yourself.”“Why do I get the feeling this has bad idea written all over it.” You say, drily. “Oh shut up. You know this is a great plan. I'll shuffle the flight schedules and put her in the air against you first.” She says, an evil grin crawling across her face. “Now, let's go up to the lounge. You've got some socializing to do.” “Shit.” Is all you can say. You're not looking forward to it.
