it was inevitable, really ( pacrim )

[markfive]

You're joking. I have a bloody job to do, you've separated me from my real body, and my pilots are missing.

Right. Is anything about this situation actually supposed to be a plus? I'm not seeing it.

dat pb tho

[heracleidae]

[ of all things Herc expected to see in his life, this wasn't one of them. have some sheer disbelief: ]

Rack off. You're not really—

[markfive]

[ a brief grin. ] Sorry that I'm not a lady.

[markthree]

You too?

[markfive]

Seems so. All right there, Gipsy? It's.. definitely uncomfortable being so small.

oh my fucking god

[payloaded]

You've gotta beard.

c:

[markfive]

[ he rubs his jaw thoughtfully. ] S'pose I do. What, you don't like it?

[synchronised]

[ She wishes she could say he's different than what she expected but — he really isn't. ]

We all have jobs to do. They rarely listen.

[markfive]

[ he's awesome, mako, just admit it. ]

I think I'm gonna' have to edit that to 'never listen', actually.

[ambidexter]

...Organic or synthetic?

[markfive]

[ he wiggles his fingers at raleigh, shrugging. ] She hasn't decided, though she's leaning toward synthetic.

[striker_eureka]

Oh fuck me. [This is not happening. This is not happening.] Christ, I must have hit my head harder than I thought I did.

[markfive]

You know better than that, Herc.

[benthos]

[ She really shouldn't talk, but— ]

Huh. Now there's a first.

[markfive]

You're a first for me, too. Gipsy's around here somewhere, you know.

[bigblondmotherhen]

Could be worse.

[ It's a bit of a given that he's now wondering what Gipsy would look like, but damn. Not bad, Striker. Not half bad. ]

[markfive]

True, I could be scrap metal somewhere. Still, it's pretty disorienting.

[ B) ]

[awarriorplease]

[ oh, you beauty. not... that she'll say that where people can hear. ]

Alright there, Striker? Figured you'd be taller though.

[markfive]

[ a slightly flustered blink. ] .. Chuck? [ OK THIS IS NEW. not a bad new, though, just.. new. ] Well.. I'm still just as fast, an' I can brawl with the best of 'em.

[suicidemission]

[ chuck is smug. smug. ]

Ha. Called it.

[ knew he called you 'he' for a reason. ]

[markfive]

[ despite himself, he grins a little sheepishly. ]

Probably why I'm a bloke in the first place.

[thefirstandlast]

Damn.

No matter how you swing it, we look good.

[Smug Striker is smug. Hello, other self!]

[markfive]

Well, we're only the newest, fastest, most advanced Jaeger ever, after all.

[simplepuzzle]

What--

--no.

[markfive]

Sayin' that ain't gonna' change it.

[needmorecoffee]

This fandom just keeps getting better and better.

Guess this means you won't need me to oversee maintenance repairs anymore, huh? [ cheeky grin ]

[markfive]

I don't think this body'll need 'em like my real one does, no.

[oceanfloor]

[ well, she's dead and you're human instead of in pieces on the ocean floor. that's a plus ]

Not missing. [ a beat. ] It's good to see you.

[markfive]

[ despite himself, his expression softens. ] .. Yeah, you too. I was a little worried I wouldn't see you here.

[munitioned]

So... I guess this means no more tit missles--I mean chest launcher? That's kind of sad.

[markfive]

[ he pats his chest. ] Not in this body, anyway. [ a grin. ] It'd be a little weird.

[derpmcnerd]

I'm thinking the look on Chuck's face when he sees you like this is going to be a pretty big plus.

[ Not really one that'll make things that much better, but at least it's funny? ]

[markfive]

Well.. he's had a coupla' different expressions, really..

[mark1bitch]

To some, it can be more than just a plus, Striker.

[markfive]

The talkin' thing's all right, at the least.

[dorothied]

According to popular opinion, the plus would be that you're male?

[markfive]

I.. s'pose so. I didn't think it'd be that big of a deal.
