Damn... ya know, today's bad enough for me already... but then Viral being a dick... so many of my men during the DC War, gone, and then Kira and Shiro at the same time... and a bunch of people on base doing badly because of it. It's just too damn much sometimes. Like one day the universe just decided to hate me-no, not just me, everyone here.

People are plenty confident that Kira and Shiro might be okay, but I've seen guys like them, and a guy can only almost die so many times before his luck runs out, and this time people saw both mechs getting totaled. Kira, Kusuha, Shinji... all these kids who just shouldn't be here and are for the stupidest reasons, and I can't do a damn thing about it.

What am I even doing here? All I do is brag and yell at people, and it's not like I've been anything special in battle. All these kids with crazy powers and mechs are gonna end up having to protect me at this rate, and I don't want any of them getting hurt for something like that.

I'm not leaving... yet... but I've gotta do something about this. Ingram... how much of this is his fault? I don't even want to count how many laws he's broken

So... taking bets. How long till the Aerogaters make their next big move? I'm giving it two weeks.

Completely oblivious to Katina's angst

Alright, I accept the bet! I think it'll take them at least 3 weeks!

It is Tasuku after all

...How about you bet the Giganscudo?

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

But what'd you bet in response, Lieutenant? Your Gespenst? I don't want that.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

That I don't throw you out of a window sometime?

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

What did I do this time?

Uh, as tempting this offer is, I can't bet Gigan - some stakes are simply too high! What if I lose? That's the only mech I can pilot...

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Then maybe you'd get off your ass and learn the hard way!

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

Hey, why won't we make that my end of the bargain?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

...I'll be watching to make sure you follow through.

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

Okay - so if I lose, I will have to learn how to pilot a normal mech decently, and if I win... Hmm...

Do you have any cute female friends?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

None that I'd tell you about.

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

Then introduce one to me if I win the bet!

1/2

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

I'll in-

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

-...

sure.

Whatever.

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

...

Are you okay? That response wasn't like you at all!

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

So what?

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

Nothing...

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Good to hear it.

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

Alright, then don't forget about our bet! Man, I'm looking forward to meeting that friend of yours already!
