01 ✧ Mobile Suit Frequency/Action

[ So that was that. While being impulsive is normally set aside for her partner, Seolla knew without a doubt that if the Valkyrie asked it of Arado, he would go without question. It was an easy decision for Seolla as she flips the video control of her WildFalken on. With her tongue out, she addresses anyone else who might happen to be in their suits, expecting her partner of all people. ]

Don't tell me I beat you, dummy slowpoke! [ With a laugh, she fiddles with the controls for a bit more until it hits her. Why hasn't he commented yet? ] Ehhh? Arado?

[ It cuts out shortly after that. Arado wasn't here! The very thought of being away from her partner tore at her heart and left her feeling empty and every variation of the word she could think of. So for those who would travel outside of the Wards district, enjoy the sight of a seemingly vacant giant robot. ]

[Asem had been running a diagnostics check on the Gundam, coincidentally as Seolla broadcast her message. Naturally, it caught his attention.

Unsure of what to make of it, he aborted the diagnostics check and fired up the systems. The Gundam carefully walked around until it found the other robot. Next came an attempt to hail it.]

Hey, is anybody in that blue mobile suit?

[If Seolla looks, she'll see what looks like a white Huckebein of some sort. And yes, that's a glowing green "A" on its chest.]

[ While she's wary of the other suit, she's not going to fire up the Wild Falken just yet. Instead, she'll try to keep it just to audio for now. ]

Yes.

[ And that's all he's getting. She doesn't sound as though she wants to talk to anyone. ]

[Well, Asem's going to keep his on video. He's got no reason to hide his face from this pilot, even when he's not wearing his helmet.]

...Hey, you're the person who made the broadcast before, aren't you? Are you all right?

[ While she's got half a mind to just disconnect after that, he might take it as a sign to attack her. With a sigh, she'll force out an answer. ]

That was me, correct.

[ There's really no need for her to answer the second question, so she neglects to do so. ]

[He notices -- but he can tell just from the sound of her voice.]

I'm sorry. You just got here, and you've already had to deal with some kind of shock...that isn't fair.

I knew what I was signing up for, so it doesn't matter.

[ Really. If she thought it through for more than a minute, she could have just agreed to go when Arado did. Instead, she brashly accepted and now she's here without him. ]

I don't fully agree. I know I didn't get all the details.

[He still doesn't regret agreeing, though.]

But anyway, what are you going to do now?

Then you should have asked for them before giving your consent. [ They can only blame themselves for being in this situation after all. ] I'm going to stay inside until I feel otherwise.

[Asem doesn't think that this girl is in any room to talk, but she doesn't need to hear him say that now.]

I guess I'll park here for a little while, too. I need to finish up some system checks on my mobile suit.

Oh, but if you need anything, then just ask right away, okay? My name's Asem Asuno.

[ There really isn't anything more annoying to her right now than the knowledge that someone's going to pretty much camp outside while she's upset. ]

Asuno, can't you find another place to do that? [ Her tone gives away her hostility all too well. ] I was here first.

Wha--

[That caught him off-guard. What in the world was that about?]

Hey, I'm not gonna step in any farther than this! It's just more convenient to wrap things up here and then head directly back to the hangar.

So there's a hangar here huh? [ Which means there's probably someone she'll have to answer to. ] Where's the highest ranking officer at?

That...that's probably Thor. But if you want a mobile suit pilot, I think Commander Woolf holds the highest rank.

Commander Woolf? Is he the one we'll answer to then? [ At least she's calming down with this discussion. ] Commander of what might I ask?

He commanded the mobile suit team I was part of when I was aboard the Diva. He's been in the EFF navy for over 25 years.

[ Sounds like a legitimate pilot and commander worthy of the rank. ]

Then I'll answer to him. Where is he?

[If she can tolerate his ego.]

He's got an apartment in the villa in this district. He may be in the hangar down by the docks, too.

Where is his office?

[ Seriously, if someone is going to assume a rank in this place, they need an office. ]

[...The idea of Woolf having an office. Hilarious.]

They, uh...they haven't given anybody offices yet.

...

Why hasn't he made one for himself then? [ Seriously, what kind of commander is this guy? ] If I can walk into a building and declare it my office, why can't he do the same?

He's...not the kind of guy who'd keep an office. He's, like...really not the kind of guy.

Great, so our Commander is a lazy, worthless...

[ She'll grumble off to herself. May as well mind her manners the best she can. ]

Whoa, whoa, hey! Wait until you see him in combat before saying that kind of thing!

How a commander conducts themselves out of battle should count as much as how they perform in combat!

He makes sure all his men come home alive, and watches out for them all the time. I think that says enough. And he's the best team leader I've ever had.

Well, I'll just have to see that for myself. If he screws up though, I'll make sure he hears about it.

[ In a polite manner, of course. ]

How many more of us are there?

If you mean pilots, I think just one more. He's a loud guy who pilots a red machine, and it looks like nothing I've ever seen before.

[ Groaning. ]

Why a loud guy?

Beats me. At least he's got some sense for teamwork.

And why are you telling me that exactly?

[ He can't see her twitching inside, but boy is she mad. ]

...Huh? Just pointing out a good thing about him. I don't mean anything else by it.

[ She shouldn't make assumptions so quickly. Regardless of her hostile attitude though, she's quick to exit her machine, landing on the ground as though it wasn't a challenge whatsoever. ]

Get out of there and face me yourself!

[Um. What.]

Hey, what the hell? What are you doing?! I don't get this!

Get what? [ Seriously, this is only fueling her anger more and more. ] I said get out and face me yourself. What's there to not get?

Why you're suddenly acting this way, that's what!

[Despite that, the Gundam bends down on one knee and moves a hand below the chest. The cockpit hatch opens up, and Asem hops down onto the hand, then onto the ground. Rather than a flight suit, he's in his white custom uniform -- the one that looks exactly like Woolf's.]

... Geez, you're the one picking a fight with me?

[ She feels almost bad now once she gets a better look at him. ]

You really don't look like a pilot or well, like you belong anywhere but a doll store.

Picking a fight? I'm not picking a fight!

Are you used to giants piloting mobile suits or something?

[He is just. So confused.]

No, but you look so... well, you don't look like you can pilot one. What happens if the exit door gets jammed? Do you just sit around and wait to be rescued? Because there's no way you can break it.

Well, uh...

Wait, you're saying you can? How's that even possible?

Of course I can. [ She might be exaggerating because the situation has never been approached before, but Seolla's wrath knows no bounds. ] Do I look like your typical personal trooper pilot? Some nerd with glasses that can't do anything but spout numbers?

[Asem looks her up and down...except for the chest. He skips over that as quickly as possible.]

Well, um, you look pretty fit. Dense muscle? I have the same thing going.

[ Smart man. ]

Just forget it. [ Seolla also can't help the rare cases of being wrong, so she'll ignore it. ] Do you know when they'll have us start fighting?

Er...okay, then.

There's already been a battle. I was brought in in the middle of a siege by the Qin. Other than that, I think we just have to wait until we see signs of either the Fae or the Qin making a move against us.

Who wants to just wait around? [ Raising a fist to show her eagerness, she smirks brightly. ] Let's just go kick their ass on our own!

We're not ready for that yet! We don't have much intelligence on their forces, but what we do know is that they're both huge. We've got a few dozen people, who are still new, and we don't know what we're up against. We can't just rush in!

[Somebody has learned something from his experiences...though watching someone you care about die because of your own recklessness tends to do that.]

The wait was worthwhile as far as I'm concerned.

I am approving so hard.

this one might have taken a little more time.

Hey, I'm not complaining.

now i'm really slowing down :P

Well, I've been talking to you OoCly, at least.
