>>24558480"Well, you heard the host: we deploy in five minutes." >The Chief had what he needed already, trusty M6G2 magnum clipped to the magnetic part of his thigh. Let's do this right then. >>24558452>Good to see you man. Did you maybe want to do some stuff tonight? >>24558457>I was also wondering if or when you wanted to continue the stuff between ONI and Shou Tucker as well.
>>24558452>>24558480>Become...Gundam.....
>>24558480Who are you calling a freak->>24558476Huh?>The miko of Hakurei looks at what it seems to be a large Cirno plushie holding other smaller plushies.Weird, but I'd rather be with something I know well, much to my disliking...>Reimu and the Funkintor are now allied!>>24558497>Sure thing.>>24558498>And too late. Now fumo is my best friend.
>>24558502Damn...
>>24558502Great! After the game, did you want to do more of the Tekken stuff OR continue the thing with IRyS and Yeon/Aussa?
>>24558480俺はガンダムだ
>>24558480"Last check!!">>24558502"All you humans are freaks to us unggoy!""Now get that doll looking thing and get ready to kill! Yer on ya own!"
>>24558506>Yeon.>They truly have little honor!
>>24558502>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm3B-pYl0kI>Shine Maiden of Paradise, that was no mere doll of a one you knew, yet someone in a costume! Aside from their main mask which appeared to completely conceal the figure beneath, the stranger's form indeed lay adorned with multiple pillow-like dolls depicting natives of Gensokyo, reshaped into their bearer's image.>The figure skulked in a corner, giving Reimu a wide berth as they followed in her shadow.
>>24558510>>24558515https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4qPelzLc0MWE are Gundam!
>>24558516>Oh yeah? And what makes you say that mister?
>>24558515(This game could be long or short)https://youtu.be/TLPWFfkq3k0?si=q-88tIiXgxlGvgW0"For teams, ya freaks love leaving a n 'ally' behind, or showing up late. What kinda' team are you guys?!"
>>24558503>>24558506>Anything is game for me, so we'll see.>>24558515Yeah, yeah. I heard you. Let's get this done quickly.>Reimu is ready to roll.>>24558519>And so is her partner, who seems to be more than just a mere doll after all. Whoever is that person behind the funky costume similar to Cirno seems to prefer standing behind Reimu for whatever reason, much to her annoyance, even if it stays at a reasonable distance from her and her purification rod.
>>24558516
>>24558532Negative. I will continue searching.
>>24558532We'll make it work Kopaka. I've got your backs. >The Chief looked strong enough with his heroic build at any rate, the cyborg taking a moment to assess himself. All appeared to be in order. >>24558537>Cool, looking forward to doing some stuff with you.
>>24558532>>24558545>You searched too hard!
>>24558532"Normal human as my favor. Look at 'em! He's stackin' bodies!""AnnnnnnnnDD down goes that JERK and that... other thing... What is it anyway? But it's dead now so who cares!"
>>24558537>This figure in blue would bring forth a doll of their partner, attempting to manipulate it as if to steer its movements—and for a brief moment, the Hakurei might feel a queer force come upon her->>24558532>Yet it would be for nought, as she would come into force with their foe regardless. >The funky-faced entity threw the Reimu doll to the ground in mild frustration.
>>24558532>But it seems her mistrust of the Funkintor was unjustified and overfocusing on them was a serious mistake, for it left her wide open against a sudden attack that managed to take her down...>It's now up to you, my funky friend.
>>24558561>After staring at an unseen power to the effect of "Really?" for an extended period, the Fumo-faced figure redoubled their efforts, vying to at the least escape the scenario intact.
>>24558561>At least he got Nullble in his last act, the Chief going down hard... >It's all up to the Knight now.
>>24558563>Whatever force she might have felt is now irrelevant given her status. Hopefully there will be more chances to try and manipulate the Hakurei Shrine Maiden again...
>>24558561"DING!DING!""One team iiiisssssssss OUT! Laugh at those losers!">>24558567"Sooooo you're a failure, If it makes ya feel any better, I'd never thought ya'd win.">>24558578"Hey Demon named John! Maybe ya should offer some money to the Banished! I can hook ya up with some really brutal unggoy fighters! If ya got the money for it!">>24558559"Rebuild it! ya freak!"

>>24558591>The UNSC has fallen... >But we won't give up so easily! We shall rise again and take back what belongs to us in the future! >And we'll do it without the help of the Banished! >...>... ONI *might* be willing to play ball though. Unofficially.
>>24558561Not even close!>>24558591https://youtu.be/T_hRdF0_r-Q?si=5uy-5Bokgid3cYMK&t=5I have the technology....
>>24558591"HA!HA!HA!""To more teams AAARREEEE OUTTA HERE!">>24558603"I don't know what ya said, but I'm gonna laugh at ya. HA!">>24558617"And that did WONDERS for ya!">>24558614(Of course ONI would...)"Tell ya what, show the goods and offer some premium gas, and the unggoy will be willing to work with ya!"
>>24558625>Strangely, whatever existence was bound beneath the costume would either seem to evaporate, or disintegrate into little more than so much cotton spilling forth from their ruined form.
>>24558625>That's Naval Intelligence for you. >They'll think about it for now you methane suckers!
>>24558625"HUH?! It's done?!""WHAT!!!!??? NO!!!!! I WANTED HIM TO WIN!!!!! I EVEN SLID HIM SOME EXTRA PLASA- I mean..... It's over........ Yeaaaahhhh....!"

>>24558685>>24558686Thanks for playings,Spook, gabby if you two are around, if you got a full body image in mind, would you kindly supply it for me. In a few days I'll have a card for you. >>24558702Unless you don't mind the same image from last card being used again.
>>24558702Fair enough, just wanted to see if you might've been up for it is all.
>>24558670Alright, now that the games are over, what did you feel up to doing tonight?
>>24558761We could continue with the IRyS and Yeon encounter.
>>24558034>Amidst whatever passed for a market in this conflict-raked shell of what was once the heart of a metropolis, an out-of-place stall had manifested, standing unerringly fresh and clean amidst its dirty and derelict surroundings as an oasis of normalcy - which made it very abnormal in the commonwealth indeed.>Latticed metal screens supported hooks which each beheld a single colorful plush doll aligned with a badge or tag, safely cocooned from the elements by a clear plastic bag, of the sort one might find a gift basket stowed inside before these dark days in the present.>Dare any approach, be they local or outsider?
>>24558806>>24558761Oho.
>>24558806Sounds good to me. If Aussa's >>24558686 down for it, he was the last to reply here: https://archive.palanq.win/bant/thread/24374308/#24376553Which means you/Nova was up next in the turn order.
>>24558852https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5svSTVfjnA
>>24558910Niceu.
>>24558839>[ Along came one visitor. A young man looking out of place even here in this run-down place. ]>[ *whistle* ]Ain't this sum shit... we got dolls lookin' rather clean compared to the rest of this place 'ere.>[ M6G2 magnum in a UNSC issued holster. He'll walk up and investigate one of the strange-looking dolls. ]I reckon these are from sum place outta the states. I ain't seen anything like this before.
>>24558851>>24558852>Okie dokie.He's a nice guy and so is that charming lady inside his helmet. I think neither her or me have been in a UNSC carrier.>So far she had only been fighting on the ground in Ireland, focusing mostly on relief missions on liberated grounds.I agree, again I hope they're not pissed due to my sudden disappereance, heh...>The nephilim is still a bit worried about going AWOL despite technically not being fully affiliated to the UNSC. Call it honor or dignity, she still carries some guilt over not informing them about it.
>>24558928>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm3B-pYl0kI>Signs of movement could be perceived behind the lattice, eventually culminating in a strange costumed figure sticking out their oversized head from the service counter of the stand to greet him, staring down with unmoving embroidered eyes of a deep blue unfaded by the harsh post-atomic sun. They detailed their current inventory with a helpful menu of services to bridge any barriers of communication, revealing to the wanderer the identity of these toys in the process, amidst a few additional products and services: >FUMO:•A Fumo of Alice in Wonderland? (Regular Size)•A Brown and Purple-haired Fumo? (Regular Size)•A Fumo with Ruby Shades and Twintails? (Regular Size)•A Crowned Fumo Wearing a Frown (Regular Size)•A Black-Hatted Fumo with a Long White Ribbon with Red Frills? (Regular Size)>OTHER PRODUCTS:•Funky Fumo Lamp•Fumo Renaissance•A Can of Fumo Cool•Bagged Snack Costume (Fumo-Scaled)>SERVICES:•Fumo Appraisal•Fortune Telling•Curse Removal>What did he wish to pursue, if any?
>>24558910>>24376553>>24559010>One of the Marines gave an eager and agreeing nod to their old ally. (MRN #5) Yeah man! Chief's a badass and Cortana's pretty cool too! Ain't nothing they can't accomplish together! >The sergeant chuckled at their enthusiasm, although he like most in the UNSC would be inclined to agree with their starry-eyed assessment. Well, except for the ODSTs. >Three saw fit to do some more explaining as he packed up his medkits. (MRN #3) Never been on a carrier before eh? Well, like I said, it's the biggest ship in our battlegroup now. And it's called a carrier because it "carries" an assortment of vehicles including fighters. Which are basically smaller ships themselves to put it simply. I mean someone from the Navy can better explain it than me but that's the gist of it heh. Oh, and we're not going on water but to outer space by the way. >If only Yeon would be able to see such an awesome sight... >At her worry about going MIA, the sergeant waved IRyS off. (MRN #1) Try not to worry about it too much. ONI *might* give you some grief over it if they interview you, but the spooks are like that with just about everyone. The O in their name ought to stand for Ornery! >A few leathernecks laughed a bit at that. >Soon enough, the sounds of incoming thrusters could be heard, a few Marines looking up to see a D79H Pelican coming down towards their location. As it drew closer, the leaves above them began to rustle with force from the heated wash of its engines. The sergeant grunted at the sight and sound as it eventually made a landing up ahead in a small clearing. (MRN #1) Alright, that's our ride outta here. Let's get ready for dustoff ladies and gentlemen.
>>24559069>[ Ellis was too focused on the dolls. Seeing the stranger with the oversized doll mask led him to believe it was part of the inventory. Until he saw it move. ]OH SHIIII..!>[ Getting jumped scared by that, Ellis falls flat on his ass. Of course, this attracted someone. ]"HEY! THERE'S A PROBLEM HERE‽.">[ A raspy voice shouting from behind. Belonging to a Ghoul, in a rather dapper-looking suit, tie, and fedora. Armed with a .45 submachine gun. ]Ellis: S-sorry, sir. Just got a little spooked... >[ The Ghoul guard turned to face the masked fumo-seller. ]"Hey, jackass. Lose the mask. Ya ain't gonna get customers. Especially sellin'.... Doll...‽ No one is gonna buy this shit! .....Wait... when did you set up shop here...?">[ The Ghoul is gripping his machine gun tightly. ]
>>24559010>>24559101I see....>Now she's just poking fun at herself, but the perplexity in her voice is still apparent despite her reserved attitude.>Even the notion of a vehicle that carries other vehicles is out-there for her, nevermind whatever this "Space" might be.>She turns her head in the direction of the noise, mouth slightly ajar for a moment before she closes it once more....When you are all ready, then. Incidentally, IRyS. There is a spider on your leg. I would not suggest smuggling it aboard.
>>24559101>>24559172Or Obnoxious, they sound like that one kind of people...>Definitely is gonna be harder to deal with then compared to management back at the studio...>But no time to think about the inevitable, the Pelican has arrived to take them to safety. Got it-Eh?!>Just before they can board the D79H Yeon points out an almost insignificant thing to IRyS, but that comment is enough to change her mood. She tries to keep her composture, but the lack of color in her face denotes some sheer panic in her which is reinforced by her sudden moves to try and get rid of the arachnid with her hand (Failure under 4).>>24559167https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3733857526
>>24559167>The foreign merchant seemingly stared into the withered guard's soul from behind the apparent costume; one pondered how they had managed to assemble the stand beneath the notice of the locals, yet assembled it stood, and the speechless figure would present the same menu to their fellow relic of the past-
>>24559167>>24559260>Presenting a few other themed articles of merchandise including at least some comestibles...
>>24559167>>24559260>>24559265>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54Pqc-Abgas>And in turn, where the ghoul spooked their prospective customer from behind, heavy breathing could suddenly be heard behind the local guard, revealing the presence of a...helper? Like the merchant, it was a being in costume, or at least someone clad a mask, albeit much cruder than that of their superior, worn over a nicer-kept suit not dissimilar to his own. >This masked henchman would cross their arms, as if to inquire if there was a problem, brandishing a lead pipe stained in an indeterminate dark substance.
>>24559172>>24559241(MRN #1) Ha, right you are on both accounts.(MRN #2) I'd be careful not to say that in front of them though. Just saying. >ONI in general couldn't take a joke... >But that time might come later for now there was a current "crisis" to deal with. Namely...! >A spider on IRyS's leg, the half-breed unfortunately failing to remove it in her budding panic. Thankfully the Marines were on scene, One snorting at the sight and situation as he approached IRyS. (MRN #1) I gotta ask you Yeon how in the world you were able to even detect this thing.>The spider would be quickly brushed off with ease from the BRAVE TROOPER, the man nodding in satisfaction as he gestured for the others to get aboard. (MRN #1) Right, if there's no other issues, let's get out of here. >Already, the Mantis mech's pilot had disembarked from his ride and was in the process of hooking the machine up to the underside of the dropship with some help from others while the rest of the troopers got aboard the Pelican.
>>24559241(There's more context to this image. But I don't know it.)>>24559260"HEY DUMBASS! YOU WANNA START TALKING‽ MY TRIGGER FINGER IS ITCHING RIGHT NOW!">[ Ghoul is aiming his weapon at the salesman. While Ellis stayed on the floor. Eyes widened at this admittedly one-sided standoff. ]"C'MON! SPEAK! UNLESS YA DON'T MIND A FEW HOLES IN THAT MASK OF YOURS">>24559268>[ Hearing the breathing. Of course, he turned around, pointing his weapon at the even stranger-looking fella here. ]"What do you want, tough guy‽ MIND A FEW HOLES IN YA‽.">[ This ghoul was sooooo tempted to pull the trigger. Make the wrong move, and he'll be putting a few bullet holes into you. ]???: That ain't necessary.>[ One more mysterious stranger. ]"THE HELL YOU MEAN NOT NECESSA-!">[ He turned to face the voice and went quiet immediately. Even lowered his machine gun. ](1/2)
>>24559345>[ A ghoul, wearing a rather unique outfit. A three-pointed hat upon his head. A long red leather coat, with a blue inner lining and an American flag wrapped around his waist. ]HC: "They ain't botherin' anybody. Let'em be. Besides, they need ya at the gate. A few super mutants have been seen roaming about, in case the other 'locals' don't deal with'em.">[ The Ghoul guard gave one look at the sellers and scoffed. "That thing ain't worth wasting bullets on." One last remark before leaving. ]>[ The Ghoul in read reached down, offering Ellis a hand. Which the young man gladly took. ]Ellis: Thank you kindly, sir.HC: No problem, kid. Here.>[ Leaving some caps in Elli's hand. ]HC: Treat yourself at The Third Rail, my treat.>[ Ellis looked down at the nicely dressed ghoul. Tipping his hat. "Much obliged, sir!" And ran off. Leaving on this sharply dressed ghoul in red and the fumo-duo.]Heh, don't mind'em doin' what's good for the people here. (2/2)
>>24559320>>24559241>IRyS's reaction gets Yeon to cover her mouth with her sleeve once more as she hides a soft bit of laughter.Try kicking it away next time.>That might've been the better option to flailing your arms.>She "looks" in the marine's direction briefly, as she moves to get in to the ship.That my eyes do not function as I should does not mean that I cannot perceive the world. I merely do it differently now. >Blue Toph.All things have an energy to them. I perceive the presence and flow of that energy now...some call it mana.
>>24559359>As soon as the gnarly-faced enforcer was dismissed by his boss, so too would the merchant's own goon seem to step out of sight with an uncanny efficiency, reducing the situation to both quirky proprietors face-to-face with the young man in between.>For his part in defusing matters, the merchant would offer the tricorner-man a thumbs up, still offering services and goods for any who would entertain them >>24559069. >If nothing else, they were all fresh and clean.
>>24559418>[ A side glance. The way the salesman's guard vanished from view. Seemed almost instant. Definitely drew some suspicion from this ghoul in red. His left hand remained in his coat's pocket, just in case. But a thumbs-up from the salesman was enough. ]Y'know... most people would barter and trade goods like ammo and chems?>[ Right hand, under his chin. Everything here seems a bit off, especially with how clean everything was. Also cause it's dolls. Selling dolls in Goodneighbor is a sight to see. But one doll did catch the Mayor's eye. ] This one lookin' rather nice. >[ Holding up the black-Hatted Fumo with a Long White Ribbon with Red Frills. ]Who's the dame this doll is modeled after? Guessing she's a "friend" of yours?
>>24559320>>24559408N-Noted...!!>She might or might not have heard their words as she keeps struggling to fend off the spider from her leg. She listens to Yeon's suggestion and finally manages to get rid of it, much to her relief.Yeah... let's... and thanks for the advice...>IRyS waits until all the Marines are aboard to get inside the Pelican, she waits a bit to see if Yeon needs some help.Oh? So is like the lifeforce of living beings, I assume? I thought it was more like a thing to measure magic levels in someone.
>>24558034Goodneighbor? Pfft, more like run down neighbor.
>>24559345I think it's because L4D2 has a huge fanbase in Peru
>>24559471Hey, slime ball. It ain't much, but it's good enough for the people here. So can it! Hang out with the super mutants outside. They'll welcome you with open arms.>>24559473(I would not have guessed that.)
>>24559500You're just mad you can't beat He-Man!
>>24559508Let me guess, you can't beat him either?Why else bring up this so called, "He-man"? Guessing he's a "friend" of yours? Pay the right caps and maybe your friend will have an "accident".
>>24559408>>24559460>A few of the troopers had a laugh as well at the sight, their sergeant at least coming to IRyS's rescue as they worked together to get rid of the spooder. With that handled, the NCO made sure the blind lady among them got aboard safely. It was a bit humbling to see her manage by herself at that, her explanation throwing the grounded boot for a loop. (MRN #1) Mana? What, like magic? (MRN #4) Suppose it shouldn't be too surprising sarge. Makes sense too like what IRyS said. (MRN #1) Yeah, I guess so. Hmm, probably don't have much "mana" ourselves since I couldn't like, pull a rabbit out of my helmet or whatever. >Perhaps Yeon could better explain it to them in time? >For now, they were aboard the Pelican. The Mantis mech was secure as well on the back and as the troopers climbed aboard, the crew chief buzzed the pilots that they were clear to begin taking off. >With that, power was fed to its thrusters and rear hatch sealed with a whooshing clank. A couple Marines would help both IRyS and Yeon find their way to the crash seating and help secure them as needed before they really began to ascend. The crew chief looked them over with a nod. (CRW CHF) We'll reach the Awe in about several minutes. Til then, try to get comfortable and all that.
>>24559537Oh you sweet summer child, nah this will be too easy for me to mess with, good luck trying to sage Castle Grayskull. >The red guy leaps away.
>>24559459>The word "barter" would seemingly get the embroidered whites of the merchant's eyes to gleam. Seems this wizened local was already well-accustomed to this manner of routine, garnering a nod in return.>Beside the Fumo and the soda can, a lamp and what appeared to be a framed painting could be seen in the inner parts of the stall, alongside a loose piece of clothing scaled to the size of the dolls. Concerning the latter which took the tricorner's attention...>Beneath the black hat adorned with a big red bow ending in antenna-like ribbons, lay the face of a girl with red eyes and light indigo hair. Her very-frilly outfit consisted of a black dress with white trim, mostly covered by a collared cape-like garment consisting of pink cloth adorned with both white and red frills, topped by an ascot?>With the odd hair colors and elaborate outfits, it didn't seem like these Fumo could be based on real people anyone could ever expect to encounter on the field. Right? Curiously, while the other Fumo appeared to have some manner of tag or button to denote their names, this one lay without any markers or tags.
>>24559544>>24559460It is an esoteric subject. All things possess however much they may, and that may wax or wane, and all have their own...shade to it...it is...difficult to articulate....>She complies with the marines' aid, but she still frowns a little at the seating thing. It's only natural, she's probably never seen something quite like it.>Yeon has her head cocked at a curious angle, as she seems to be 'staring' at the floor....How...high...are we intending to...?
>>24559544>>24559589Guess I might be the one standing out in that regard then, no wonder why that ugly incident happened to me, ugh... I can still feel that blade piercing me...>That comment about IRyS' implied excessive amount of mana is definitely going to do more than raise a pair of concerned eyebrows. For now IRyS seems to be having a good time on her seat, at least compared to the worried Yeon who's looking at the ship's floor.I think we might be going very high, isn't that right?>She looks at the Marines as she lets out a little giggle, both out of excitement and to try to lighten Yeon's worries.
>>24559546Ha! Just you wait, pal, all you really need is the right plan and boys to back you up![ A crimson nightmare leaves Goodneighbor. In truth, Hancock wasn't sure what the crimson nightmare was, but knew he was dangerous. Getting him to leave was an accomplishment in itself. ]For the people's sake... That thing looked like trouble...>>24559575>[ Getting a better look at it. Hancock could help but flash a smirk. ]I like this one's style. I've seen some wild people step through my city here. But this ain't looking like any wastelander I've seen before. How much do you want for it? As Mayor of this fine City of Goodneighbor, I can hook you up with a lot. But I get the feeling you ain't a.... person looking for a quick fix of chems. So name your price, and would it hurt you to say something? Feels like I'm speaking to myself!
>>24559633>Deeds, contracts, words...secrets.>Voicelessly, the merchant gestured a interrogative pose that spoke as well as any paragraph, questioning, or causing the wizened man to question what he saw as equivalent value to the doll.
>>24559589>>24559628>The First Marine nodded along before mentally kicking himself, Yeon unable to see the gesture. (MRN #1) I'd imagine it would be so considering the subject matter as it were. Still, it at least sounds "doable" as it were. >Several eyes would then focus on IRyS at the mention of her apparently getting stabbed, the medic trooper in particular looking at her with concern. (MRN #3) Damn, that doesn't sound too good. >Even if she had a clean bill of health from a prior examination, the man was now a bit worried for the nephilim. >Staying a bit cool himself, Marine One grunted. (MRN #1) Right. And to answer your questions you two, yeah, we're going to be going pretty damn high. >He looked expectantly at the crew chief who nodded in turn before explaining. (CRW CHF) We just passed into the stratosphere now, so we're about a dozen miles up from the surface. Still have a ways to go since our battlegroup is currently holding steady in outer space proper. But at the rate we're moving we'll be arriving in about... six minutes.
>>24559628>>24559676>On the other hand, she might've sensed the gesture...depending on if she still has to "See" through a traditional field of view and wasn't just staring at a slab of metal under her feet or not.....Ah...a 'bit' higher than flying a kite....>For any who don't speak Korean, "Yeon" is Korean for "Kite".>Ahem. That was much quieter than her normal speaking voice. That's her...piecing together how high up they are. It's natural to be a little intimidated by that, right?>She pauses for a second. Draws a breath in, releases it, and turns her attention to IRyS's direction. Frowns from that mention of a blade....Yes. A great deal. Light and shadow, emulsified...a mixture that should not be, but is all the same. I've stumbled on curious company.
>>24559676>>24559704Yeah, I'm not even sure how I managed to fight back, guess the adrenaline really helped me that time.>Even then IRyS wasn't sure if adrenaline alone had managed to make her turn the tables on her would-be assassins or if something else had helped her on her darkest hour to date.>Past uneasy experiences aside, IRyS tries to comfort Yeon with her words, a little kind smile is on her face even if she cannot witness it.Yeah, I hope you're not scared of going higher than any kite could.>Unfortunately the local korean Holo is probably busy back at the studio or at home warding the timeline or streaming, so IRyS definitely missed that little funny detail.>Her words are cut short as Yeon turns at her and frowns about the mention of the blade piercing her.I'm starting to think there's more than a weird mix of light and shadows inside me... but not like it really bothers me. And hey, I hope you're not so uncomfortable with this curious company.>(I believe this is where I shall stop for the night. Thank you for the RP!)
>>24559666>[That get thō.]Even when silent, you know how to communicate. Heh....>[His right hand into his coat, toyed 2ith something around and.... a stack a (XX) caps.]>[ Let's roll for the value of Caps! ]>[ He'll leave it right on the table. In front of the Fumo-sellsmen.]Take it or leave it. I can't be out here all day, especially with that kid who was standing here before. Someone's gotta check on him. If that ain't enough for you, then leave. You ain't gonna get anyone else here to buy... these things. Those are your options. Hurry up. Gotta address the people soon. My guys will make sure you'll be escorted out.
>>24559704>>24559823 (Works for me, hope we can resume this again soon!) (MRN #1) A bit higher than that, yeah. >Even with translation software available to them and on their HUDs no less, Yeon meaning kite was likewise lost on these guys for the moment. Still, her intimidation was a bit more apparent, the crew chief seeking to reassure her. (CRW CHF) Don't worry too much, we make these kinds of trips all the time without much incident. Helps that we haven't had to also really deal with AA fire here in the Arena. So that makes this sort of deal easier and more comfortable too. >Indeed, their ascent was going by without issue, the man adding on. (CRW CHF) We're almost there, just another minute or two. >Turning back to IRyS, the men and womens attentions were on her. Curious company indeed, the UNSC at large still not entirely sure what or who IRyS was despite being one of their original allies in the Arena. (MRN #1) Light and or dark, you've shown yourself to be good so far IRyS. But I guess with more time and effort you can only prove yourself further to the cause at that. >He'd then nod to Yeon. (MRN #1) Same with you miss.
>>24559823>>24559862I am not yet dead. That is a good sign. >A sign to remain calm. And not inquire what the hell AA means. She doesn't think she'll like the answer.It mixes well in you. Perhaps more than the sum of its' parts. Or perhaps it is obscuring something else....>Yeon shrugs.I do not have any immediate reason to feel frightened by any of you. I trust this instinct.
>>24559862>>24559823Yell at me for it whenever.
>>24559843>Ordinarily, the merchant would had likely been insulted by this offer->Yet these individuals both found themselves under extraordinary circumstances. The merchant understood well enough these mere bottle caps represented the lifeblood of this tumorous community in labor and sustenance - a week's wages bore greater weight when surviving a week was in itself an accomplishment.>Thus, curio for curio as the antique caps were careened into the embrace of the costumed one, hopefully to be whisked to a better place come the day's end.>In return...
>>24559843>>24559904>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rduVgdbO4B0>The Anime Game TouHou Project Nagae Iku Fumo Kawaii Cosplay Cotton Doll Soft Plushies DIY Change Suit Sitting Toy Figures Gift from Jingzhou Xiangyue Fan Trading Co. Ltd in the 20cm scale is thought to originate from a custom pattern derived off the Series 44 Fumo Fumo from GIFT, mass-produced to meet market demands for a character the official Fumo manufacturer has yet to cover. In that respect, it has no official equal, affording it a unique status among Fumo-kind where it can find display among its far more expensive, higher-class counterparts in certain situations, like ensembles corresponding to the games their characters appear.>Depicting a facsimile of Iku Nagae, Iku Fumo (a term some might deride calling them by considering their non-GIFT creation, yet one they can get away with by virtue of no GIFT Iku existing to compare to) are thought to be adaptable, using their status as unofficial yet arguably necessary to fit themselves to their surroundings far better than anyone with indigo hair has any right to. They are commonly paired with both official and bootleg Tenshi, which they don't care for either way.>They don't like getting their hagoromo stained.

You, my friend, just made ol' Hancock... A bit happier... Heh.>[ Lighting a cigarette and taking a pull. Snapping his fingers, two guards dressed the same as the ghoul guard from before. But both are normal humans and armed with .45 submachine guns. ]Make sure this guy doesn't get roughed up by the local gangs. Maybe the people here wouldn't mind a little doll by their beds. >[ Both armed guards nod and answer "you got it Mayor." With that, the Mayor of Goodneighbor walks off, with a fumo in his pocket. ]>>24563770(You live. You played the battle Droids right?)
>>24563827>Ayep on both accounts.
>>24563850Give me a moment to power on my laptop.
>>24563860>Ay.
>>24563827>The West Coast...>They perhaps, do not hold the same value in these goods as the East.>For the duration of the event, the merchant's own security was willing to work in tandem with Goodneighbor's to keep the streets secure, adding a silent vigil over the locale through eyes which stared every and no direction unceasing.
