[ Katina opens up a video feed in front of her finished mech, little more than a statue right now, but at least a pretty one, and one that COULD be made functional if she figures out how. ]Hey! I know there are guns here, and that some of them even work, but I know I can't rely on just that. I'd just beat the shit out of anything I couldn't shoot,

[ Oh god, why did she have to bring that up? Subaru has spent the past few days since that time basically holed up around the onsen, working off the wild-card effect of being mute. ]

I, uh.... Aheh.... Um.

[ Diversion! ] Your robot is looking good, there!

[grandtheftmecha]

[ Katina decides to steamroll the obvious diversion. ]

It's not like I'm offended, or even bothered! You're a nice girl, you're good looking, and if you actually still wanna drink together, I'm ready when you are.

It just seemed weird for you.

[highest_caliber]

[ She wasn't blushing before, but she certainly is now after all that! ] Wh- I'm ... I mean...

[ Looking away from the mirror, hand to the back of her neck. ] I can't explain it.

[grandtheftmecha]

[ Aww, Subaru's kinda cute like that. NOT THAT SHE'S INTERESTED NOPE.

Katina looks a bit frustrated, actually. ]

You weren't the only one acting weird, but you sure stood out from the rest, you know.

[ritsu_kouyou]

At least you're done with that pointless endeavor now.

[grandtheftmecha]

I'll show you how productive I can be, and then I'll spar you to show you just how good I am.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Must I remind you again that I'm a civilian?

[Besides, Akiha really doesn't want to have to fight anyone. Yes, she's trained and can hold her own, but that makes it a bit too easy to tell she's not 'normal'.]

[grandtheftmecha]

Civilian isn't the same as helpless. The way you talk and carry yourself, there's no way you don't how to handle a fight.

[ Katina's actually not entirely sure of that - Akiha could just be THAT cocky - but she knows how to bluff. ]

[Resting against a tree, per usual. When the Vine curls around to show the Mirror, she appears unsurprised.]

It's par the course. In fact, it's weird when nothing like that is going on around here.

If you want to learn how to use a spear, I could give you a few pointers.

Stuff that's screwin' with our heads is the usual? Shit... I'll take monsters any day. Especially if I can learn how to do with 'em better.

[A dry laugh.] Monsters are easier to get used to, that's for sure. But this one wasn't too bad compared to some of the others.

[grandtheftmecha]

Guh. I hope it doesn't get too bad while I'm here, or I might have to raise hell.

[reluctantstop]

I can do daggers and short swords but that's about it....

[grandtheftmecha]

Any experience teaching?

[reluctantstop]

....no but isn't that a 'learn as you go' kind of thing?

[grandtheftmecha]

Yeah, but I only know the basics when I'm in a mech. Otherwise I'd just be swinging really hard all the time.

[uberlikehermama]

Sometimes stuff like that happens. Other times we just get monsters instead.

Or get turned into monsters.

Or have robots attacking.

[grandtheftmecha]

Turned into monsters? Now I have to make sure I don't kill any of us next time, great.

[uberlikehermama]

Yeah, it wasn't really fun, but that only happened once.

... Actually, I think it was the first weird thing that happened to us.

[grandtheftmecha]

Glad I missed that one then.

What else has happened?
