8th Sortie

[Had it really been a year? A year according to this place, anyway. If he were still in his world, it might just be a little over a year... but none the less, according to Paradisa's calendar, it was something to think about. April 2nd, 1995... Operation Crossbow in the Tyrann Mountains. The last line of defense for Valais Air Base, defended by no one but a handful of mercenaries...

And him...]

Yo Buddy. Still alive?


[Chie]

Hey kid. Meet me in the Four Seasons room.

[He's got something for you, but he's not going to just GIVE it to you...]
 


[Mitsuru]

[Yesterday didn't happen. Yesterday did NOT happen. K? K.]

I plan on going into town later to get my mind off things. Figured I'd ask if you'd want to join me.

[With those done, he sets his journal beside him; the journal picking up the sounds of waves. Anyone familiar with the sounds of the beach would know he's in the Four Seasons room. Where else in the castle was there a beach after all?

He's just sitting there on the sand and staring out at the water with his journal and flight jacket beside him. He's still very obviously not dressed for the beach in his usual almost-"buisness casual" attire, but he was also hoping that it'd be a snow day. Talk about a disappointment when he found out Tuesdays are beach days. A snow day would have been perfect to think about Operation Crossbow.]

So much for a cold and snowy day.

Now, can anyone answer just what the hell was with yesterday? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around those constant musical interludes.

I was nearby. What's up, Pixy-kun?

[solowingpixy]

[Well, at least he didn't have to wait too long.

He'll nod to the right of him, towards a palm tree that's just kind of chillin'.]

See that tree over there? Go over there and do that little 'shotgun kick' of yours on it.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Uhm... Sure... That's a weird request.

[She still does it anyway. Then something soft landed on her head]

What was-- Hey, it's the frog I've been trying to get in the game room!

[solowingpixy]

[He couldn't help but smirk when the frog landed right on her head. Success.]

Got it on the first try the other day. Would have given it to you yesterday, but you know what happened.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Why, did you sing and dance too? It was actually fun...

[Chie wipes off the sand on the frog and kind of hug it. It was just so cute to her]

Uhh... Thanks, Pixy... Ugh! What is your real name?! It feels weird calling you Pixy! I might as well call you Bob!

[solowingpixy]

I was fortunate enough to avoid the dancing, unlike you and Church.

[Which watching Church dance in that armor was kind of hilarious. He just laughs, looking away from her and back towards the water, shrugging slightly.]

Nothing wrong with using my callsign. Besides, 'Pixy's at least better than 'Bob', isn't it?

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Does that mean you sang? Did you sing with someone?

[solowingpixy]

[He frowns slightly. He'll confess to the first one, but that thing with Mitsuru didn't. happen.]

I was forced to sing in Belkan.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[She would have shipped it]

Bel-kan? Is that kind of like Russian?

[solowingpixy]

[Well, 'Belka' IS Russian for 'squirrel'.....]

I don't even know what the hell that is. Everyone around here keeps calling it 'German'.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

German? We had to remember a German phrase for World History class, it's the only German I know. Ich bin ein Berliner! ["I'm a jelly donut!" in an atrocious accent]

[solowingpixy]

[...yeah, he's giving you a slightly unamused stare, Chie.]

What use would that be in any sort of class?

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Some old guy, I think he was a President. He said it in a speech by mistake. I think?

[solowingpixy]

[He'll roll his eyes.]

And no one checked to make sure that what he was saying was correct? That's pathetic.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Yeah, I didn't exactly bother with that subject. Politics is so boring!

But I should have. I would have passed that exam if I did. Heh...heh...

[solowingpixy]

[It's okay, kid. He won't judge you for failing an exam in regards to politics.]

I've had more than my fair share of politics to last me for a while. I'd rather ignore it when I can.

[Granted, his "politics" just equalled to "war bullshit" but same difference.]
