[Bungo is in the kitchen, ordering the ghosts about -- he's sitting at a table that's slowly piling with different sorts of foods, not to mention bits of metal, and books. Feel free to run into him and ask wtf he's doing.]


[written:] Wow, nearly a month since I got here already. It's sorta weird to think that I've been gone that long... it doesn't feel anything like it.

And I gotta ask: there are people here who can fly, right? What about, like, military guys and pilots? I didn't expect to see many aircraft, since, you know, we can't actually go anywhere. But there must be people here who know about that stuff.

...I could fly a craft if I had to. Not what I'd choose to do with my free time, though.

[pilotkiller.livejournal.com]

Not a hobby, then? Job requirement?

[encryptedlock]

Auxiliary training. Couldn't always depend on the real pilot making it out of a mission.

[pilotkiller.livejournal.com]

Ahh, gotcha.

What kind of missions do you do?

[encryptedlock]

Nothing, anymore. Program got scrapped. But I used to be in infiltration.

[pilotkiller.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's pretty cool. Too bad about it being scrapped, though.

[encryptedlock]

Nah, they had enough reason to. Not that I like being unemployed, but it's nice not to have people shooting at me all the time either, you know?

[pilotkiller.livejournal.com]

I can imagine. This place must be a decent break from all that too, right?

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

I'm a pilot! [... am, was... tense changes on her mood]

[pilotkiller.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What kinda craft do you fly?

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

It's not a craft. It's a biomechanical weapon!

[pilotkiller.livejournal.com]

Seriously? What's it like?

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

Most people like to think of it as a giant robot.

[pilotkiller.livejournal.com]

[alkjslkdj what]

No shit! You serious?

...I think that's the coolest thing I've heard here, and I've heard a lotta awesome stuff.

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

... really?

I mean, of course! Evangelions are the coolest thing no matter what the universe!

[pilotkiller.livejournal.com]

Well, yaah! I'm pretty sure giant robots are always gonna be popular, wherever you are.

[may have struck a nerve, Bungo]

... why are you asking?

[pilotkiller.livejournal.com]

Curiosity? I've pretty much always been interested in this stuff, and I wouldn't want to miss getting the chance to talk to people with real experience.

...LJ ate it I swear

[lilblackdevil.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I fly. Heard of Striker Units?

LJ keeps being weird :|

[pilotkiller.livejournal.com]

Can't say I have. What are they?

[lilblackdevil.livejournal.com]

Machines. Like planes, except they're worn on the legs.

[pilotkiller.livejournal.com]

On the legs? So when you say you fly, you really mean it, huh.

[lilblackdevil.livejournal.com]

[a pause] Hadn't thought of it in that way. I guess that works too.

Why're you asking about this stuff?

[pilotkiller.livejournal.com]

Same reason anyone'd ask about anything, really. Curiosity. I've always thought military stuff is pretty interesting.

Hey, and I hope you don't mind me asking, but would you showing me your Striker Unit sometime? It sounds kinda cool.

[lilblackdevil.livejournal.com]

Sure. My name's Erica Hartmann. Who's this I'm speaking to?
