Operation Nine
1) [Scythe & Cora] [Infirmary]
[While it wasn't anything that serious, Scythe did get more than a few bumps and bruises when a Deep Crow pulled her out of the transport - As did Cora during her attempt to rescue her teammate - only to have a rather painful tumble when the Crow crashed. When you visit the both of them though Cora seems to be doing her best trying not to pay attention to Scythe as she speaks to someone. It was less being rude and more trying to respect her Sniper's privacy.]
Its nothing to worry about. Just a scare and a few bruises... something I'm sure you get everyday...
[Scythe lets out a soft chuckle as the person on the other end of the vid-call spoke.]
Well I'm a little glad you know what my job is like now Ann. Not so easy taking care of animals now is it?
[Scythe looks a little sheepish. If you take a peek you'll notice that the person on the screen has a tremendous resemblence to her. The man was dressed in rough, outdoors clothing as well - with a bushman's hat tilted on his head at a jaunty angle.]
An' speaking of animals, Winston's been wonderin' how you're doing. Aint'cha mate?
[With that the man that was clearly her brother reached down to heft a bulldog into view. Scythe suddenly seemed to brighten, almost reaching at the screen as if trying to pet the dog through it ... then there were a series of smaller barks as well as the bulldog sniffed and snuffled as it looked into the screen.]
... Tom? What was that?
Ahah... I was plannin on lettin' you know when you came back but... Winston kinda went and made himself a father...
[With THAT. Tom carried the pups into view as well... the resulting happy squeal from Scythe almost had Cora jump out of her gurney. Though honestly the Major couldn't fault her teammate.]
[Take a peek into the conversation and get pulled into it?]
2) [Dagger & Oxide]
[When you see these particular members of the Dullahan unit - you'll notice that they're just lazing around on a couch, watching TV, either an old show or an old movie - it doesn't matter much really. They don't seem to be saying much - occasionally taking a drink and chewing on some popcorn. Letting out the occasional chuckle. All the ease of old friends - or people used to watching each other's backs so much.]
This isn't a private party. Like Major Anderson said. We're all teammates on this ship.
[Dagger raises a hand to you in invitation. He says the next part with a completely straight face though.]
I suggest not sitting next to Oxide though... he might have left some parts of that clock he was working on over on his side.
[Oxide just waves the words away before tossing another bit of popcorn into his mouth with precision.]
As hard as it is to believe, he's joking. There's actually a good sense of humor behind that uptight demeanor of his.
... You're only saying that because you want them to find those parts for you. The hard way.
[Any idea who you want to believe? Either way feel free to join the movie watching.].
3) [Mongrel & Dice]
Hey Mongrel, I'm getting another card game set up. You want in?
Why? So you can lose more money? I don't get why you're asking me.
[There's a punch to the shoulder.]
Because as much as a jerk as you are, you're pretty much the one guy I can trust with my cards. Seriously.
[Dice presses the deck into Mongrel's hands before kicking back on a chair at a table.]
... Heh... Dice?
What?
... Thanks.
Baaah. Don't get all mushy on me. You'll end up ruining the moment anyway.
... I take that back. Now I want to jam these down your throat.
There we go! Moment ruined!
[There's a chuckle from the both of them as Mongrel gets to his seat and starts dealing the cards. Are you in or out?]
(OoC: Note with the card game - feel free to state how far in you are if you wish. All that matters is that throughout, Dice loses horribly. Every. Single. Time.)

[Richard laughs a little, though he's clearly started to blush as well.]
Though I'm... a little curious. What would you see in someone like... well...
no subject
Yeah... The Major does have that kind of laugh doesn't she?
[She lets out a soft chuckle before looking aside, taking a deep breath and trying to focus... imagine him as a target... look through a scope.]
There's just something about you. You feel noble to me. Its like I know you can be kind and reasonable and cheerful and strong and clever and... and...
[All sorts of Knightly. Chivalrous. Like the ideal that somehow manages to simultaneously remain dead and alive at the same time. She trails off as her focus fails.]
I just... have that feeling after those lessons in the hangar you gave me about machinery... and then you saved me...
[So its been building up for a while. One has to wonder why she didn't feel this way to the actual noble who was her sniper partner... then again considering she had to put up with most of his ranting, it suddenly becomes obvious.]
no subject
[Still... he can't help but try and reach his hand across.]
But its... nice that you think I'm like that. Though you're sure you haven't maybe fallen for Raynor instead?
[Richard grins, hoping he hasn't just shot himself in the foot there.]
no subject
A lot of people would... but you were the one that caught me...
[Indeed, Cora was too busy getting dragged by the bird, the Clanners were to busy going all 'FOR THE GLORY OF BATTLE' and had probably written her off as a casualty, the REVIVAL probably had other problems and the interdimensional goddess that had been present was probably making sure the worm was definitely dead.]
I'm sure... he's nice from what I've heard but...
[She gives Richard a look - eye to eye.]
I don't know him.
[It wasn't Raynor she was spending plenty of time around after all.]
no subject
That would be his heart. That he can hear and feel beat evermore in his chest as she looks at him.]
W-Well then... you're welcome... Hope the cape was enough of a soft landing. Was all I could think of at the time...
no subject
[Annette lowers her head, fidgetting. It was likely that she was hearing that same sound as well as the blood rushes to her face.]
Its alright...
[She swallows heavily. Her heart was beating faster and faster as she grabbed that hand Richard moved to her and held tight.]
Richard... I...
no subject
With a crash, the door is battered open by an augmented, armored foot.
That boot belongs to a Dullahan unit, which rushes forward into the room. Quick as you can shout "Flint and Tinder", the ancestral sword of the Sinclair family is held to Richard's throat.
The Dullahan's helmet hisses open, revealing the wrathful expression of Lord Isaac Sinclair himself!
"How dare you exploit the affections of my sniping partner so! Toying with her feelings, then abandoning her with a child out of wedlock, eh? I think not!"
no subject
[...You know Richard, the reaction might be more believable if you weren't saying that whilst huddling Scythe all protective.
Still, a glowing fist should be a good warning sign to the nobleman.]
Now back away. Slooooowly.
no subject
"Not until you uphold your obligation to my comrade and make her an honest woman!"
Is he trying to push a shotgun wedding on you?
"If you refuse, then you shall face me in a duel of HONOR!!!"
no subject
[Annette just lowers her head as if screaming 'DAMNIT' at the top of her lungs solely within her head... Richard may also notice how tightly she's gripping his other hand in order to control her temper.]
...
[Somewhere else on the Ship, Cora is laughing her ass off at a plan well played.]
no subject
Besides, the hell kind of person marries a girl without spending time with her first?
no subject
Isaac thinks through how he came to hear about Richard and Scythe's supposed indiscretion.
He narrows his eyes in though as he notices how Scythe and Richard are tightly holding hands.
Then he deactivates his Dullahan armor. It opens with a hiss, and he steps out of it, retrieving his sword from an inert gauntlet.
"My apologies, Scythe. My apologies, Richard. I completely misunderstood the situation..."
no subject
He reaches into his Dullahan's backpack and pulls out a dueling blade, tossing it to Richard!
"If you wish to court my sister-in-arms Scythe, you still must prove yourself a worthy knight...by defeating me in battle!"
He raises his sword in a flourish. "En Garde!"
