canon is pacific rim

Well, I wondered when you would decide to let me see some more action. You've certainly been prolonging the inevitable.

[ She's smiling, her tone low and jovial and oh so very amused. ]

I'm just surprised it took seeing another jaeger to make this happen.

Comments

[markthree]

Oh? What do you mean?

[derpmcnerd]

[ Yep, here we go, blunder number one. ]

Well, y'know... making friends...

[ Friendly friends who do friendship things that have nothing to do with the benefits of having a vagina why oh why is her mind already going there. ]

[markthree]

[ well that could be true. ]

I suppose you're right. It's certainly easier to talk without having to rely on the Drift.

[derpmcnerd]

[ Yeah but Filly knows what people have been talking about okay. ]

And when you look like this it's probably easier for a lot of people to relate to you. Like, it's easier to know how to act or something.

[markthree]

[ Filly don't corrupt Gipsy :| ]

I'm sure. Interacting with me at normal size is...humbling, for both parties.

[derpmcnerd]

[ But it's her job to break Gipsy's mind with human-y things and terrible movie recommendations!

Humbling. So that's what they're calling it these days, huh? ]

Yeah. Humbling.

[ Don't make a terrible joke about tits Filly. Don't do it. ]

At least people will still be impressed with your cannons.

[ ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING? ]

[markthree]

[ Gipsy is starting to give her a funny look. ]

I suppose, though I am not currently armed.

[derpmcnerd]

[ Augh, okay, how to backpedal away from this awkwardness? ]

Well... see... what I meant was... you-- you have... um...

[ It should be mentioned that Filly sucks at backpedalling. ]

Boobs. I was talking about boobs. Because you have those now. Terrible joke.

[markthree]

Ah. I see.

[ See, she knows what they are! Thank Mr. Hansen down there /troll ]

[derpmcnerd]

[ She'd really rather not talk to Mr. Hansen about any of that at all beause that would just go spectacularly wrong on so many different levels that it would probably create a whole new category of NO. ]

Sorry, my foot in mouth syndrome thing gets so much worse when I'm actually talking with my mouth to -- um, beautiful people.

[markthree]

[ .... good point. ]

You think I'm beauetiful?

[derpmcnerd]

Well yeah. I mean I thought so before too but this is sort of another kind of beautiful.

[ Thanks Gipsy, she's blushing now. ]

[markthree]

[ Gipsy seems pleased. ]

I am aesthetically pleasing then. Good.

[derpmcnerd]

[ That makes her snort with amusement. ]

Just remember that it's the inside that counts.

[markthree]

Always, Filly Bray.

[ A wise man once told her something similar. A mad man with a strange, blue box. ]

[derpmcnerd]

Not that you aren't very pretty there too, of course.

[ Filly is a big fan of that mad man, she's always sort of thought that maybe she'd make an okay companion. ]

[markthree]

[ She chuckles. ]

Of course.

[absentlyclubbed]

That went off without a hitch there, didn't it.

[derpmcnerd]

[ Apologies to Gipsy for the awkwardsplosion that is about to happen in her post. ]

Holy shit, Fin!

[ Impulsive hugging is go. She's missed your face, dude. ]

[absentlyclubbed]

[Oh crap oh damn why did people like to hug him.

One long arm went around her as he prayed her exuberance wouldn't topple them over, and his other lifted to awkwardly pat her head]

What're you doing here?

[Oh shit look that that terrible intonation. He tried to cover it up with a hurried question.]

And who's your friend?

[derpmcnerd]

[ Oh, just watch her realize that -gulp- she's actually hugging Fin. What was she thinking?

At least he hugged her back so it can't be too bad, right?

Riiiiiiiight.

Behold the awkwardly abrupt way she lets go of him to step back, cheeks going a little pink as she tries to figure out where to look because his face kind of isn't an option. ]

Gipsy Danger. She's a jaeger. A... um... giant robot. Usually. It's kinda complicated.

[absentlyclubbed]

[Oh good she let go.

His shoulder relax from their stiff posture into their usual little slump.]

A... giant robot?

[He casts a speculative eye over the girl in question.]

Does she have gears?

[derpmcnerd]

[ Filly has done too much yoga for slumping, but she does kind of look as if she wants to make herself smaller in any way possible. ]

You mean as she looks now?
