Guess who ALSO came back!

[inneedofasmoke]

[In addition to the return of the Paladin, there's also one other return. There's a brand new MS - albeit rather highly roughed up from the battle in the Hangar. Its Cornea scorching pink paintjob was more or less ruined, and the offensive emblem on its shoulder was more or less removed by several impacts with volcanic rock. Either way though when the cockpit opens...]

Guten Tag!

[Was Luger, pretty bruised and a little worse for wear - but looking downright cheerful! But that's not what's odd. He's wearing an oversized sombrero to boot, and had a poncho that reached to his feet and both were stained with all sorts of things you would rather not guess about.]

I see nothing's changed at all~

[gudbye_despair]

Senor... I mean Senior Luger! You're back!

[inneedofasmoke]

Elena! How's things been mein freund? Kill anything interesting lately?

[gudbye_despair]

Yes, but none of them bleed when I thought they would.

[inneedofasmoke]

Not even a little?!

[gudbye_despair]

Enemies these days.

[gudbye_despair]

How's Mr. McWuffles?

[inneedofasmoke]

Getting plenty of exercise! He's killed so many people so loudly... you'd be so proud!

[gudbye_despair]

Really? What were you doing out there all this time, Senior Luger?

[inneedofasmoke]

Hunting Things that sound like monsters, getting beaten up, Hunting terrorists, getting beaten up, tried to join Kairos Aspida, got beaten up then almost got blown up.

I got beaten up a lot. It wasn't so bad.

[gudbye_despair]

Really? You tried to join Kairos Aspida? I always wondered, what would senior luger think about them. I fought them a bit. They talked a lot. Everyone talked a lot when they're around. But most of them are about boring stuffs.

If I know you tried to join them, I might've tried to join them too!

[inneedofasmoke]

They aren't that boring, I saw them flatten an entire battle once! It was amazing!

Of course they wanted to cut my head open and take my brain. So, less amazing. I like it where it is.

[gudbye_despair]

That's true. You have a pretty well-placed head. And if you joined Kairos Aspida I might not be able to join it anyway. My love is here. Ooh, you might force me to choose between you and him! How romantic!

[saikyocivrobo]

What's with the outfit?

[inneedofasmoke]

I just felt like wearing it one day. It looks good on me ja?

[saikyocivrobo]

Sounds like you paid Neo Mexico a visit that day.

What's with the new Mobile Suit?

[inneedofasmoke]

I had to steal my tequila that day too.

[He neither confirms nor denies his presence at the colony.]

Well my old Leo happened to be stolen property. I managed to find the owner and he gave me the suit in exchange.

He had some crazy looking eyebrows...

[saikyocivrobo]

Stolen, huh? I wonder by whom.

Isn't this new unit a prototype? I haven't seen it before, at least.

[inneedofasmoke]

Ja. One of the first few of its kind. Meant to replace the Leos they were using. I think the people who made it were called Wizards or something.

[He shrugs his shoulders.]

Its not very magical though.

[saikyocivrobo]

Was it this pink from the start, or was that entirely your invention?

[armored_fruit]

"Ho Ho! I would hope not!"

A finely dressed fellow with a crisp BBC accent walks up to you, a longsword strapped over his back.

"Are you the Teutonic ruffian who expressed an interest in taking home the enemy's head, if I may inquire?"

[inneedofasmoke]

Gott! Who even speaks like that these days?!

[Luger fixes Isaac with a one-eyed look, trying to discern the nobleman's intent.]

Is it the renaissance fair on board today?

[The Space German then speaks in a horrifically butchered english accent - further made worse by his already present german accent.]

Dozzt zhou fazzer know zhhat heees booter knuife ist ghonne?

[armored_fruit]

Isaac blinks.

Then he cuffs Luger across the cheek.

[inneedofasmoke]

[Luger is knocked to the ground with a single blow... though thankfully for Isaac's sake he doesn't have to deal with his noble sinclair body getting infected by the numerous plagues within Luger's blood. The insane german however is sporting a rather amused grin this time that's looking a little disturbing.]

Harder.

[....Whut?]

[armored_fruit]

Isaac stares at Luger for a moment.

"Heavenly Jove, another follower of the Marquis de Sade." He groans.

He shakes his head. "Whatever floats your clipper ship, strange little Teuton. I wash my hands of it." He turns and starts walking away.

[inneedofasmoke]

[Luger clucks his tongue. Damn. Didn't work out like he'd hoped. Oh well, he'll have to try something else with this guy.]

[fermionprincess]

Ah, is it not sir Luger!

[A heavily armored person approaches.]

How convenient, just when I needed a research assistant!

[inneedofasmoke]

Ah, if it isn't the noblewoman herself-

[Luger blinks as he processed her words.]

Research? What kind of research? Does it involve cutting? Bludgeoning? Chemicals?

[fermionprincess]

Yours would be the responsible duty of logistics!

[Alessandra proudly points at an accumulated huge pile of heavy metal parts and other shit that needs hauling.]

[inneedofasmoke]

[Luger lights up a cigarette with a match - then tosses the still lit thing behind him... unfortunately catching a mechanic unawares - who is now screaming and flailing from the sudden burns.]

Ja ja... where do you want them?

[He sounds mildly dismissive... just how was he going to pull this off?]

[fermionprincess]

Follow me and we shall reach our objective!

[Easy to say, this junk is heavy. Almost too heavy for a human to carry, unless they're really strong!]

[inneedofasmoke]

[Which is why Luger isn't going to do it at all, because she never exactly did order him specifically to move it at this point of time - merely that he was handling logistics aka manual labor.]

Ja. Alright then.

[He was going to take his sweet time following her - and by sweet time he was going to take a detour then only catch up with her in an hour.]

[fermionprincess]

[One hour later.]

Sir Luger! I need to inquire what caused this incredible lateness of yours!

Were you ambushed?

[paladin_robot]

If you think THATS true, then you're bad in both eyes.

[Richard smirks, before giving a lighthearted jab to Luger.]

Good to see you again, ya crazy bastard.

[inneedofasmoke]

Heh... well well if it isn't the naive one.

[Luger suddenly leans in disturbingly close to Richard and takes a DEEEEEEP breath.]

You smell like magic.

[paladin_robot]

[Causing Richard to lean back slightly.]

That's... because I can use it now. Like, properly. Wanna see a magic trick?

[inneedofasmoke]

A 'magic' Trick you say?

[He lets out a downright creepy chuckle as he leans forward - hair falling over his face and shadowing it - making him resemble a living corpse. The toothy grin wasn't helping.]

[paladin_robot]

Ah, one sec...

[...Where did he pull that cigarette he's plopping into Luger's mouth from?]

One, two, three...!

[Well, with a snap of his fingers, there's a flame rising from his thumb, working as a makeshift lighter.]
