Behind the Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

Dec 08, 2009 05:50

"Good afternoon, reservists," Arthur said, his voice loud enough to sound across the field. "Today, we've got a bit of a surprise for you. As some of you might still recall, Reno used to be one of the leaders of this reserve. He has chosen to stay with us after the weekend to see you through a meeting once again. For those of you who haven't met ( Read more... )

Talk to the Guys! raspberryturk December 8 2009, 09:52:53 UTC

When they ping in!

Re: Talk to the Guys! raspberryturk December 8 2009, 09:54:51 UTC

Reno? So there, and looking as smug as ever with a real baton resting on his shoulder.

And possibly keeping a decent distance from that SOLDIER kid with the spiked hair.

Like Arthur wasn't going to abuse the opportunity to hang with Reno. "Well, that was almost impressive." In his own way.

Re: Talk to the Guys! raspberryturk December 8 2009, 10:04:17 UTC

"You know, I hear that a lot," Reno replied, grinning over at Arthur and giving his shoulders a light shrug. "What would it take to ramp that up to 'friggin' awesome,' anyhow?"

Re: Talk to the Guys! bitch_prince December 8 2009, 10:08:55 UTC

"I don't know," he said, thoughtfully. "Maybe a few more backflips... taking out an enemy or two... managing to speak without using the word 'yo', whatever it means..."

Re: Talk to the Guys! raspberryturk December 8 2009, 10:14:19 UTC

"It means I know I'm more kickass than most of these mooks," Reno laughed, and then shrugged. "You wanna see me run straight up a wall or somethin', man, I can do that. You show me an enemy on this island, and I'll be all over it."

Fandom, Reno had learned long ago, was somewhat lacking in the random monster encounters. And that was a very woeful thing indeed.

"You missed the killer vegetables," Arthur said, without... any irony whatsoever. "Although there were elves yesterday. Dinah had some kind of problem about using those for targets, but I don't really see it."

Re: Talk to the Guys! raspberryturk December 8 2009, 10:26:29 UTC

Reno snorted.

"One of 'em tried to run off with my jacket," Reno noted, rolling his eyes. "I found the little shit later, believe me."

The thing had been busy cramming his pockets full of aspirin and greasy breakfast foods. What the hell was up with that?

[And now I flee for work! SP woooo?]

Re: Talk to the Guys! bitch_prince December 8 2009, 10:30:01 UTC

"See?" he said, a bit too triumphant, really, "I knew it. I knew they were no good."

[ SP awesome! *was sneaking pings from school anyway* ]

Re: Talk to the Guys! raspberryturk December 8 2009, 19:12:40 UTC

"When are the freaky little things that invade this island ever up to any good?" Reno rolled his eyes, smirking at Arthur's little moment of triumph, there, and then stuck his tongue out for a moment.

Reno thing. Don't mind that.

"So, other than the veggies an' the weekend were everyone went completely friggin' batshit, anything good been goin' on, here? Or am I not reall missin' out on nothin', killin' monsters in Edge?"

Re: Talk to the Guys! bitch_prince December 8 2009, 19:19:05 UTC

It wasn't like he was going to share about his 'lovelife' with Reno, so... "The island's been a bit off since we entered December," he said, "But it's been quiet otherwise."

Re: Talk to the Guys! raspberryturk December 8 2009, 19:23:05 UTC

If Arthur didn't want to share, Reno didn't want to pry. He was easy like that. Who other guys were spending their time with wasn't any business of his, anyhow.

"Yeah, I noticed the off, yo. Got hit in the friggin' face with marzipan on Saturday. An' the elves an' the sugar. Looks like Fandom's gearin' up for that winter holiday... thing." Reno kind of failed at Holidays. But there was one in December, and people seemed to enjoy it, and that was about all he'd gathered on the whole matter since his time spent here. "It'll probably get weirder before it gets any saner, I figure."

Re: Talk to the Guys! bitch_prince December 8 2009, 19:29:35 UTC

"Christmas," he filled in, absently. "I can't say I'm looking forward to it, but it's nothing I can't survive."

Mind, where he came from, knights didn't admit to anything being in any way dangerous unless it ripped all their limbs off and stabbed them in the chest for good measure. "How's Edge?"

Re: Talk to the Guys! raspberryturk December 8 2009, 19:33:53 UTC

Reno bit back a twitch in his cheek that would have involved a frown. His expression, then, went weirdly flat.

"Edge is... Edge." He shrugged. "People are hungry. That much ain't changed. They're startin' to put up roads again, an' there's a vehicle that the WRO's got in the works that might make bringin' food in a little easier, but fuel ain't gonna be easy to find for it, either. I can't feed everyone in the damn city, man."

Though, judging by the bit of weight he'd lost since he'd graduated, it looked something as though he'd been putting forth his best effort.

Re: Talk to the Guys! bitch_prince December 8 2009, 19:35:58 UTC

Arthur pursed his lips, and regarded Reno. "Haven't gotten your horses yet," he said, somewhat apologetically, "But I'm sure we can load you up with enough food to carry some people for at least a couple of days." Oh sure, go be the bleeding heart.

Re: Talk to the Guys! raspberryturk December 8 2009, 19:39:42 UTC

Awww, Arthur totally cared for the little guy!

"Food's good," he agreed. "All I can carry an' then some. I was plannin' on stockin' up before I went back to Edge, actually. Figure Turtle could use the business."

Or whoever ran the T&C nowadays. Reno was a smidgen behind the times, here.

"No rush on the horses, zoto. We gotta work on figurin' out where we'd put 'em in the first place, right?" They couldn't exactly keep them hitched to the monument in the middle of town, or anything.
