[So, for those of you that spoke to Thom before he was turned into Michelle Rodriguez via teleporter glitch, this voice should sound pretty damn familiar.]

So, as it turns out? Ketchup-octopus ice cream? Not a thing any sapient, life-loving creature should ever be subjected to. Ever. Ever. I am still crying inside.

[... yep.]

Good sir, I thank you for your generous gift. Truly you are a gentlemen for the ages.

Nay, I am merely doing what duties I may so as to ensure that so erudite a lady is treated with the utmost in courtesy.

Well I'm outta my good close-range weapons. He ain't healed much yet, though. Best I came up with is to distract him while Jun and O'Brien snipe at him. You did good.

Also, I been running tactical while you were gone. Lost the coin toss with Jun.

Spot where he pinged me to is a crater. I must've blown my reactor.

[... he... doesn't sound bothered by this. In fact he's pretty casually discussing the fact that he was, you know, dead.]

... You flipped a coin for Noble team? Hell, Emile. Next time I get myself killed I'm putting O'Brien in charge,

[He looks kinda familiar. And Jin for his part is looking a little beat up.]

K--Ketchup octopus ice cream?

[video]

[thom_293]

This is one of those 'don't ask, don't tell' scenarios, kid, trust me on that one.

[... pause. peer.]

... Hey, what happened to you? You okay?

[video]

[supernova1006]

I'm not sure I want to know anyway...

Oh, I'm fine. Sorry, uh...are you new? I don't know if I've seen you on the network before. [Too tired to look at the network ID.]

[video]

[thom_293]

[oh right. Thom coughs a little, rubs a hand against the back of his neck.]

We've talked. It's Thom.

Figures, just when I got comfortable! [Grinning like an idiot all the same, and it probably comes out in his voice.] -- and there is nothing wrong with ketchup-octopus ice cream, least not the way I make it.

[SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK, BRO!]

[thom_293]

[rofl Three as soon as he gets back to base he's shoving you over.]

Hey, hey, this is the UNSC we're talking about. There's no such thing as comfort, Warrant Officer! Ten laps around the entire station by 0300!

[that is his best mendez impression. he sucks at it. no drill sergeant is he.]

-- And Jun, if those words ever come out of your mouth in close proximity again, I will shoot you. Twice.

[chttrbox_recon]

[He laughs robustly at that. Nice try, but no Sweet Williams.]

Okay, okay, none of that. I'm assuming you'll probably want your usual? [Cake. fruit. Spices. And he will gladly take a bowlingover from you, dude you're back!]

You know the way to my heart that isn't an APR and applied anatomical knowledge.

[eighttotwelve]

[thom_293]

Hey.

[he sort of ducks his head a little.]

[video]

[eighttotwelve]

I'd like to see you.

[thom_293]

Are you okay?

[srsmode activated. also, have a location ping for the residential zone that spartanhaus occupies, although it's some distance away from the base itself.]
