SMS Party

[toocooltodie]

[Action]

The SMS crew, including a number of faceless NPCs, has taken over Ennil's bar, after the last mission (Operation Stargazer). There's a big banner on the wall that says "Welcome back Ranka!". Drinks are flowing (Soft drinks for the kids, because there's some in SMS too.), there's a bunch of SMS guys at the biggest table singing the SMS

[Ranka is in the middle of it all, looking embarrassed at the affair but still clearly enjoying herself.]

[pilotofsilence]

[And he approaches.]

Enjoying the festivities?

[ai_so_moe]

Yes! I didn't think so many people would come, but... it looks like everyone made it!

...It's also a little embarrassing.

[pilotofsilence]

Well, to be fair, they might be a bit drunk.

[He gives a small chuckle.]

At least its far better than the doom and gloom everyone's in lately.

[Klan, meanwhile, is DRUNK ON VICTORY, and also a bit drunk on beer, which is why she's standing on a table to get at the same height as everyone else, and belting the SMS anthem.

Yes, even the parts about whacking alien chicks with your big rockets and being manly men thrusting their manliness across the galaxy. Especially those parts.]

[ace_mayor]

[For some reason, probably to celebrate her family and pupil not dying horribly, Milia is also here. And emphasizing those exact same parts.]

[grandtheftmecha]

[Meanwhile, Katina... drunkenly tries to sing along with them. Poorly.

Hey, someone said party, so here she is.]

*Alto didn't look so perky compared to the others but he did come around to have a soda. The last mission was pretty hectic. Who said the SMS and GDF guys couldn't have some freetime?*

[ai_so_moe]

[Oh look it's her favorite person ever. Suddenly, Ranka is even more chipper!]

Alto! You made it!

[nodignityever]

Yeah. It's good to see you back Ranka.

[ai_so_moe]

It's still weird to think I was gone for so long... If it hadn't been for y- for everyone, I might never have made it back.

[second_runner]

[Dingo is plenty happy to raise his mug to the SMS, and is a bit tipsy, he can't hold liquor as well in his old age, apparently.]

[puru_gone_wild]

*With one of the SMS guys ordering a round of drinks for everyone, Ennil finally has the opportunity to get into earshot of Ozma over all of the partying*

Care for me to get you a guitar to strum?

[toocooltodie]

*Ozma is sweating and generally looks unhealthy, although it's hard to be sure in the dim light.*

What? No I'm good over here.

[puru_gone_wild]

Please.

*Ennil lowers her voice enough so as to not alert anyone else to what she's saying. There's no need to ruin festivities*

I've read up enough about the original SDF's pilots to know how this is going to play out. At this rate all someone needs to do is give you some pineapple salad and you'll be the Frontier's very own Roy Focker.

[toocooltodie]

I said I'm fine! Just didn't want to miss my own party.
