Offering to play the Pocky game with your ship's captain doesn't count as flirting, does it? xD

"Please, no need to be formal with me, Ariana. I am definitely not Nishizumi-sama." Maki replied in fluent Japanese, laughing although her respect for the newbie was increasing after the woman tried to communicate with her in her mother tongue, albeit being obviously out of practice. "Just call me Maki. We'll be fighting alongside each other after all. Knock on my door if you ever need someone to sharpen your skills against, in the ring or simulator." The offer was both an extension of friendship and a helping hand, though Maki would be lying if she denied being curious about the newcomer's skill.
Switching back to English for the non-Japanese speakers, she continued. "I'm a little infamous for not slacking off when it comes to doing my homework. If you need someone to teach you about weaknesses of the Coalition machines or tactics, I'll be glad to share what I know. Or if you just have a craving for something sweet." She chuckled at the last one. "And Gerard here will be more than willing to teach you about every brewery in the sector and their finest drink."
When Trapp called for them to get ready for inspection, Maki flashed a last smile at Ariana before taking her position. "You're part of the 7th now, rookie, don't act like a recruit fresh out of boot camp."
The inspection was unremarkable. Maki rarely fudged on the Hellcat's maintenance and upkeep, but Captain Alexis noted the few crumbs of her last Pocky snack in the seams of her cockpit seat and said something about sweets being a childish snack. It was the usual jab at her sweet tooth, but Maki didn't mind. The Captain had a way of forming rapport with her men and allowing for stupid banter was one of them. "Well, ma'am, if you ever want to try the Pocky game with me, I'm more than happy to do so and you can tell me if the game's still childish then." She replied with a grin as the Captain just walked off shaking her head and rolling her eyes.
"Oh, and Nishizumi? You're the second most fearsome woman on this ship next to me, so make sure no one picks on Williams when I'm not watching."
Maki flashed a sweet, innocent smile. "I have no idea what you're talking about, ma'am."
She didn't hear Alexis' reply, but the pilot could have sworn she heard "Sure you don't."
Ah well, it's not like she ever did anything that would be called unprofessional. Pranks were done from time to time, it's not like anyone got hurt. Mostly. Nothing Captain Alexis could prove.
When the inspection ended and Maki found herself back at Willams' machine, she winced as the captain called Eric to her office. "Well, we better get him one of those doughnut cushion things for his ass when he gets back." She commented, leaning back with her elbows on the guard rail and a lollipop in her mouth. "That went awright didn't it, Wiwwiams? The Cap can be intimidating but she's friendwy with us as wong as we don't do anwething stupid." She asked, the lollipop preventing her from pronouncing her words clearly.

Yeah, well, with Itzal's intelligence gathering ability I could probably work around that tbh, I'm just wondering if it should come to that, if I have permission to do so.
That said, send me the info then. Har and I will keep things running if you're gone. And try not to set everything on fire.

Reaper, I completely agree. Why don't I send you an outline of what I had planned for the next arc and you or Har can drive the plot when I'm MIA. We'll sync up on a per-arc basis so I don't have to reveal too much in advance, and I can still drop hints from NPCs about future events without it affecting your posts? In the meantime I will attempt to keep active and you only need to execute on plot details as things slow down. How does that sound?
That works. I'm assuming that also means controlling Neon when necessary?
Ariana calling Maki "Nishizumi-sama" is giving a very... exciting... mental image.
What? Feral is evolving...
*Kitsune presses B*
Evolution cancelled, bitches!
I've got a lot of OOC to catch up on, so if anyone has a synopsis of any open questions just let me know. We're going to run with what Har has been adding in parallel to planned events, so nothing that you guys have started will be getting tossed aside, but I'm going to attempt to move the central plot foward as well in the hopes that splitting the focus of events might ease things a bit on my end
Okay, honestly, Kitsune, seeing as Har and I are the ones most often online nowadays, I strongly suggest you let one of us take over as co-GM to help run things. Wait for the plot to move forward once every 2 months is ridiculous, even by our standards. I don't care about spoilers, I just want to be able to post here at a pace that perhaps at least matches old people fucking :/
I'd horde it like a dragon because I love shiny stuff.
Also, stagnation and lack of growth would eventually result in the destruction of the human race. But if all the humans were dead, then there'd be no more wars, no more conflict, AIDs, poverty, anything! And thus, Myke has just solved every global problem evar.
I guess we know who's secretly building Ultron in his basement.
But what would you do with all that money? And if all money goes to you, nobody would be able to buy anything and thus demand would stop existing, if nobody's buying then so will supply, and your economy will have 0 GDP growth, 100% unemployment, resulting in the most profound economic stagnation in human history!
I took economics too
Assuming you allow for a free market and not say... forcing everyone to produce stuff for you.

Looks like artillery to me.
What I'm saying is that Wes and hers wouldn't really mesh well together. Wes would run to the front of the battlefield while Yuu would be forced to stay back. They're not really much of a team.
Also, Myke. I'm requesting the chance to bump up Disposal's gatling gun caliber. 30mm seems more akin to an assault rifle than a minigun. Perhaps 35 or 40?
Yeah, but nobody said she couldn't just shotgun the enemy with an artillery shell at point-blank range. I mean, even if the explosive isn't primed, that's still a very massive shell hitting them.
Just look at what Soviet SU-152s did to tanks like the Elefant even without penetrating their armour.
