Jeeps, Trains, and Surprises

[gotapenny]

Back in Aldbourne it was like time had stopped long enough for George to go into Milliways and find his two new friends then return. The air is warm with the faintest of cooling breezes that makes it a perfect summer day. Thankfully the mid-day traffic is lighter than usual with all of the 101st in the area back at the camp prepairing for their

London is already beaming with life from the thousands of paratroopers within the city along with the residents of the town.

Stepping of the trainstation George can't help but beam a smile. "Ahh London at last. I could kiss the ground for finally making it here."

Perconte comes up to stand beside of Luz, smirking slightly, "I'll pay you a dollar to do it."

"Just a dollar? Jeeze I thought the humor of it was worth atleast two."

Moving off towards where their duffle bags were being kept Frank just gave a snort. "Ah. No. Come and get your shit so we can find a hotel before the rest of the company gets there before us."

Thankfully, George remembered to also find dufflebags for both Bill and Nate prior to them meeting the rest of Easy in Aldbourne.

Bill nods, agreeing with Luz, "She's real nice. Easy way to spot her is the red heels she likes to wear. Oh, an the tentacles."

Nathan looked like he really wanted to make a 'Fucking Milliways' comment about now.

"...Tentacles?"

[gotapenny]

*FWHAP!* is the sound of Luz's hand meeting the back of Bill's head. "Shhhh!"

Looking back at the three, Perco couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "What's up, George?"

"Nothin, Frank. Bill was just trying to make a joke but it didn't come out right. As him to tell ya about it later."

"Oh...Okay..."

Moving inside the hotel it would be noticed that its rather nice and the patrons staying there are rather indecisive about the gaggle of men in uniform just coming in.

"May I help you, sirs?" the man behind the desk asks when Skip approaches.

"Yes. Do you happen to have any rooms avaliable for..." and they barter for the rooms.

Looking around George looks back to Nathan and Bill giving a little lopsided grin. "And the USO tomorrow- you two still up for it or you wanna site see instead?"

[wheelsy_sheriff]

Bill grabs his hat as it flies off of his head and turns on Luz, "What? I was just sayin...oh." He gives an embarrased smile and shrug to Perco when the man turns back to look at them.

Inside the hotel Bill is again looking around and waves his hand at Luz's question. "Whatever you want Luz. Just don't get us killed or arrested an I'm good."

[waylostandfound]

Nathan chuckled some at Luz when he hit Bill.

Later, he grinned, "USO still sounds like fun. And definitely agree on no arrests, and I want to get back in one piece."

[gotapenny]

"Awww come on," George says as he hooks his arms around both Bill and Nate's shoulders. "Not even one single little barfight?"

This draws a little chuckle from the other guys that have been listening in. "Just a small one. Come on. We gotta teach those Dog Company guys a lesson or two, ya know?"

Frank looks back over his shoulder with a smirk. "In other words. George here just wants another dislocated chin so he can shut up for a day or two."

"Ouch. That really hurt, Frank."

"You're welcome."

[wheelsy_sheriff]

"No." Bill says flatly. "But you go ahead George an teach Dog Company. I'll be sittin with a beer cheerin you on."

He laughs at Frank's comment and then looks back at Luz studying him a moment, "So that's how you keep him quiet huh?"

[gotapenny]

This instantly causes George to go very quiet and very stiff. His eyes narrow as he watches Bill then Frank for a good long moment of silence. "I'll remember that. Mark my words."

Finally Luz cracks a smile just about the time that Skip turns back to the group with a handful of keys. "Four beds to a room, gents. You guys can sort who is going where- I don't really care as long as we get back down in time for the bar."

This brings a cheer and a buzz from the gaggle of paratroopers. Frank is instantly back to standing with George, Nate, and Bill. "What, Pardy? You ain't gonna help us defend th' honor of Easy against Dog?" No doubt he's trying to get the newer man to agree to help.

[waylostandfound]

Nathan just chuckled a little at that. Meanwhile they should get the room thing situated. Obviously he knew how 3 beds were taken. But who's gonna be the fourth?

And still gonna tricky not to have their cover blown.

"Luz, want me to grab a room before all the good ones are taken?"

[wheelsy_sheriff]

Bill seems to think about it a moment then shrugs, "Get back to me after a few rounds an I might. I'll defend Easy, just not Luz."
