Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 2

(Jason)

Then let me say, that he clearly taught you well. I think you could have given some of my old teammates a run for their money.

=A few minutes later, and we got back to the ship. Now, to be fair, we knew it was practice, but we just didn't like the idea of a draw. So, we had a little, *cough* "rematch" in the shower. Unfortunately, it was still a draw=

(Jason)

=We walked off the ship ten minutes later, cleaner than when we came aboard. We headed for the mess-hall. A few of the crew seemed to point at us, and I recognized them from the gym=

(Dormii)
=i beat what i assume is the punching bag equivalent of tar out it and stop. my stomach growls, so i work my way towards the messhall=

=She wakes up in her room, and looks around.=

(Jason)

=we got to the mess-hall, and both got something to eat, and more importantly, drink. we sat down at a table, and enjoyed our food=

(Dormii)
=i walk into the messhall, and go over to the food counter. i grab some food and sit down, completely oblivious to anyone else, and the more recent bloodstains on my shirt and my hands=

=walks into the messhall and grabs some chili and sits don with jason and miri=


have fun in the training room?

(Jason)

=zeru walked in, and he sat down with us=

=I laughed a little=

It was just a light sparring match.

(Miranda)

=while i was eating, i saw Dormii enter, and sit down at a table=

Hey, it's Dormii. Want to say hello?

(Jason)

=I look to where she's pointing, and I did see Dormii sitting at a table=

Sure, why not. Hey, Dormii!

(Dormii)
=i hear my name and i look around. i see Jason, Zeru and Miranda. i wave and walk over=
Hey guys, and girl. How's things?

(Jason)

Oh, things are good. Miri and I had a little match in the gym. How bout you?

(Jason)

It was a friendly match zeru. Sure, things may have been aggressive, but we played it safe.

(Dormii)
=i mock disappointment=
Aww, I missed out on a fight? Darn...

=i smile and take a bite=

(Jason)

Heh, more like missed out on the bets. Oh, by the way zeru, that security guard you mentioned? He won the bets. He betted that the fight would be a tie, and then he stopped the match, forcing a draw.

either way no more public sparring anymore

=takes some more bites of chili=


btw u guys check the area near the ship? got a nice suprise

(Dormii)
=i take yet another bite and listen=

(Jason)

First off, we never intended for it to be public.

=I took a drink-

Second: What surprise?

(Dormii)
=through a mouthful of food=
Orbital Defense Platforms.

=activates a hologram revealing 5 odps's in genosynchronous orbit around the planet=


they're used to take care of asteroids and meteors that show up near the planet

(Jason)

Defense platforms? What type? MAC guns, or plasma turrets?

(Jason)

Hmmm, not bad.

=Suddenly, I started to feel tired=

Oh crap. Listen, i gotta go, I'm pooped. That fight, really took it out of me.

=I got up, and Miri joined me=

We'll talk later, if that's okay?

=I couldn't wait for a response. I had to get to bed. So Miri and I just turned, and walked back to the ship. A little while later, we got back on board, and we had gone to sleep. i guess she was as tired as me=

(Ethan)
=I limp into the mess hall, after two days without food or drink, I was starving and thirsty. My armor's chest plate has several holes where shrapnel got through and part is burned black.=

=The Azure Comet arrives over Korino-Sekai. They activate the grav lift and begin ferrying down soldiers and supplies to the surface. The soldiers and engineers begin moving into the base already in the glaciers before the storms move in=

(Dormii)
=i get up, my food finished=
Okay, well, I will see you later, Zeru.

=i get up and go to my room. i lay down on the bed and try to sleep, but for some reason i can't=

I see Dormii enter his room. "Really? He's here to?" I walk up to his door. Hesitate knocking. I knock anyway.

(Dormii)
=i get up, still in my clothes and go up to the door and open it=
Hello?

I take of my bandanna. "Recognize me?"

(Dormii)
=i smile=
Hehey, Collins. How's it going man? Last I saw you were on that planet, helped me and Lana meet.

"Ya man. I just recently resigned....and went to a different planet. Apparently. This is Zeru's? How did he become leader....just asking."

(Dormii)
Well, he didn't really. I mean, this is his ship and all, so he's kinda in charge there, but we don't really have a leader. Well, not a global one.

"Oh..... Anyway, can you maybe catch me up on whats happening? Cause....I might be living here for awhile."

(Dormii)
=i nod and start catching Collins up on everything=

"So he does want to make his own base here. Hm. A good idea. As I said....I'll be living here."

(Dormii)
=i nod=
Yeah, and if you want a room, just make sure it hasn't been claimed already, and then put your name on the door.

(Jason)

=Miri and I woke up a few hours later, and not only were we groggy, we were sore from sparring. We walked out of my room, and we each got a bowl of cereal=

(Laura)

=She had fallen asleep, again, and had woken up after having another bad dream. She stood up, got dressed, and headed out into the hallway.=

= i wake up and stretch=

*nyaaaa.... morning world!

=She carries on walking, and ends up walking past Dormii, and a man she had not met yet.=

=i put on a low cut shirt, detached sleeves and a skirt before heading out to the mess hall=

=After a while, she arrives at the messhall.=

Messhall... Once again...

=i walk into the mess hall=


Hi Laura!

Hey Talfie.

=She walks over to the counter.=

=i grab some food and sit down=

how are you Laura?

=She sits down.=

Good, I guess. You?

oh, you know, the usual... nonstop eating, being awkward...


=i take a bite of food=

(Dante)

=He wakes up from his slumber=
=He looks around=

Another day.

=He stands goes off to the bathroom for a shower=
=Once finished he looks at himself in the mirror=
=Looking at his hair that had grown. Stroking his beard=
=He searches for a razor and begins shaving=

Hmm.
What to do today.


(Rain)

=I wake up and get dressed. Leaving my trench coat and weapons=

Wont need them much.

=I hear my stomach rumble and head off for some food=

(begins doing push-ups in the Cell)

(vox)
gosh darn it, you would get manhandled by a woman.

(me)
shush!

(vox)
I bet you're working out to impress what's-her-name.

(me)

Am not!

(continuing push ups)

(Laura)

So, are you awkward all the time? Or just most of the time?
