*It's like a kid at Christmas getting the crazy Nerf gun he wanted but thought he'd never get.*

Alright! Finally the mech I deserve!

*Katina's in the hangar, walking around the Gespenst Mk II Kai. She already has a technician applying a fresh coat of red to it. Priorities, Katina has them.*

Everything good about a Gespenst in a package that isn't a decade old! Zoe, *she's yelling this across the hangar wherever you are* we gotta work on tweaking this thing to get it absolutely perfect!

[[OOC: Not limited to Zoe by any means, of course.]]

[Katina walks over to take a look at whatever Zoe's up to.]

So... what'cha up to?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Bet you wish you had something as cool as this.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Yep. Rather have this than any of the Gundams on base.

[mr-catshark.livejournal.com]

Just make sure I don't steal it from you.

[eyes-has-it.livejournal.com]

Huh, really?

[mechaotaku.livejournal.com]

[Sitting in front of her is a laptop with a bunch of info displayed on the screen, and next to it is a large pad of graphing paper with a bunch of notes and sketches on it. She looks up.]

Huh? Sorry.

[She pushes the pad away and closes the laptop, shoving her pencil into her ponytail.]

You've got my undivided attention.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The weapon carrying capacity and armor are awesome for how fast it still manages to be, and I've always had a soft spot for Plasma Stakes.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

If that happens...

...

Dammit, you're hard to figure out a way to punish.

[eyes-has-it.livejournal.com]

You're the kind of person who really loves her job.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Hauwsr gave me that shiny new Gespenst Mk II Kai he was using the other day, and it'd be nice having some help setting it up to my specifications.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Well I got into test piloting to begin with for a reason.

[mechaotaku.livejournal.com]

[She grins.]

Very nice!

[eyes-has-it.livejournal.com]

Lots of people just don't. I thought soldiers would all be depressed, you know? Course, some of you are.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

...I've had my rough spots. Everyone who's fought for a while does, in one way or another. Doesn't stop me from enjoying myself though.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Sure is. It's a Gespenst that's as good as anything else we've got. The paint's already just about done.

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

You share it with many other pilots, if the mecha are any indication! Including yours truly!

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it was already red when you got it! You didn't pick it out.

[eyes-has-it.livejournal.com]

Same as anyone, then.

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

But it does fit me, right? And it'd take ages if I wanted to repaint Gigan to some other color.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. Kinda lame to sit around moping when everyone goes through crap too.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

How the heck does red fit you? It's bright and passionate, and you're not really much of either.

[mr-catshark.livejournal.com]

[He laughs, folding his arms.]

Knowing you, you'd find a way.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

[Katina's about to do the same before realizing it and putting her hands on her hips.]

Guess I'll have to get creative. You do still feel pain, even if it doesn't last very long.

[wetnoodleguy.livejournal.com]

My heart is burning with an unextinguishable passion for the ladies!

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and then some sexy lady on the other side shoots you while you're staring at her chest.
