multipup mashup - Thanksgiving edition

Nov 26, 2010 00:30

The engineers have started construction on the first prototype. It's not anywhere close to ready--more like the outline of an aircraft than anything else--but it's exciting all the same. She spent most of the day nosing around the manufacturing hanger until they shooed her out from underfoot. (Not that anyone really shoos a Spartan, but Natalie ( Read more... )

"Nice sketches," Jake says. He's showered, he's wearing civies (including a worn leather jacket) and his hair isn't quite so regulation Marine.

Not that he creeps up on Natalie, he's not that stupid. His combat books make plenty enough noise to warn of his approach.

She definitely heard the boots coming, but there was no guarantee that whoever they belonged to would stop at her table.

"Hey, you." She looks up, grinning. "Looks like you managed to catch some of that rack time."

He grins back. "Oh, yeah. And it's been awesome."

Mostly.

He's getting better at the whole 'sleeping' business.

Natalie takes a second look at his clothes.

"You on R&R?"

"Well, you look happy, Bell."

Trudy is a little unsure about this woman who is not yet Gunny Bell, not yet the woman who had such an effect on her in her past. But, that's just Milliways. Bell is Bell, and she does like the woman.

Besides, Trudy cannot help but be sociable.

"I have learned," she says sagely, "that just because you're in the family doesn't mean you know the secret to the secret family stuffing recipe."

hallelujahpilot November 26 2010, 23:44:11 UTC

"Now that sounds dire," Trudy says, mostly hiding a smirk.

"Extremely.

Pie turned out pretty good, though."

Ruin smiles as he slides into the chair beside her.

"You brooding over dinner?"

The pie had been good, after all, and isn't pie the only reason people attended Thanksgiving?

song_tra_bong November 26 2010, 23:32:58 UTC

"I'm not brooding," she corrects.

"I'm just irritated that I got my ass kicked by stuffing."

ruinous_fortune November 26 2010, 23:34:45 UTC

"I have to admit, I was surprised, too."

Ruin grins at her.

"I was sure after those choice words you gave to the second try that it would have cooperated 100%. After all, you do have a mouth on you, Legs."

Mary Anne sighs dramatically.

"Clearly it was deaf to my pleas."

Once he arrives by her booth, it takes Paul a couple of moments to come up with an appropriate greeting.

"Well, someone's cheery today."

untiedtheknots November 29 2010, 01:46:18 UTC

"Paul!"

She pushes herself up into more of a sitting position. "'Course I'm cheerful, you're here. And there are biscuits. Want one?"

averyhasagun November 30 2010, 22:29:45 UTC

"Flattery will get you nowhere," he tells her, although he follows that up with sitting down next to her.

"As for biscuits, I will never say no."

untiedtheknots December 1 2010, 05:07:23 UTC

"People who say that usually mean 'insufficient flattery will get you nowhere.'"

She doesn't quite over-enunciate "insufficient," but she appears to savor it at the very least.

She slides the platter over. "Enjoy."
