[Somehow Shinjiro managed to ignore the newcomers yelling all over the comms. Not that he was sleeping anyway, and it shows. in fact he looks even more like hell then he does normally. He opens his mouth to say something, closes it, then tries again.]

Drank too much, sleeping in. Mustang, can someone take my shift tonight?

[arisatominato]

oh gosh I'm sorry i forgot this

[adiosasshole]

Let's hear it then.
