Artificial War

"If you say so," Niles shrugged in reply to both of them.

"So what do we do until our supplies arrive?"  

[cptflint]

"In field free time," he answered. "Rest, chat, nap... just don't wonder off alone. If you want to sleep me and Nurixin can keep watch."

Nurixin nodded, aiming the rifle into the woods, making sure the stock was attached properly.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Guess I'll just rest up then." Niles mumbles before letting out a small yawn.

---

As promised, supply crates were dropped at the landing zone just as the sun began to set.

"Took 'em long enough." Ben grumbled as he began to pry one of the crates open.  

[cptflint]

Azm started to pull apart the crates as well. "Excellent... Niles, Ben and I will each take some missiles and a launcher. Load them onto the four wheelers and mount up."

Nurixin was already starting one up. "Come Lucy. You can ride with me."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

((Dafuq did I just watch))

"We'll need the four wheeler, actually." Niles corrected. "It'll probably best if one of stays with a launcher."

Lucy shrugged, "Whatever. Just as long as I don't have to drive."

"You may need to do that too..."

[cptflint]

"You might not need to drive very much," she said. "But Niles makes sense... Which ever one of you who's riding with me is still riding b***h though."

Marie frowned.

Azm tossed her a launcher. "You'll ride with one of the SEALS.

"Lucy, you're with me."

She caught it and waited for the SEALS to decide their arrangement.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Sweet." Lucy immediately jogged over to Azm and his four wheeler, relieved she wouldn't have to do any driving. "Thanks for the save."

Ben and Niles exchanged worried looks, silently initiated a tie breaking games.

"Rock."

"Paper."

"Scissors."

"Go!"

Niles held out paper, while Ben had a ********." Ben groaned while Niles quickly hopped on the last four wheeler and fired up its engine.  

[cptflint]

Nurixin watched the two and laughed at Ben when he lost. "Don't be shy now," she yelled over the sound of the engine.

Once Lucy was secure Azm sped off into the woods.

Marie quickly hopped on behind Niles, laughing at Ben's loss.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Says the woman who calls it the b***h seat..." Ben sighed in defeat as Niles and Lucy went to the last four wheeler, and quickly followed Azm.

"...I hate this, ya know." He commented before getting on the back.

"Too bad, I won fair in square." Niles forced a laugh as he sped off after Azm.  

[cptflint]

Nurixin smiled. "Oh come on... this is one of the few instances where you'd get to touch me without me hurting you... If fact you have to otherwise you might fall off," she replied before punching it after Azm, causing the four wheeler to kick up dirt and lift it's front wheels in the are momentarily.

Marie looked over her shoulder at Ben and Nurixin just in time to see the smile. "If she ends up raping him I quit!"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"What's with the hostility?" Ben asked curiously as he reluctantly held onto Nurixin for support. "We're suppose to be comrades, not on the verge of scaring the s**t out of each other!"

"Hopefully his hips can handle her." Niles teased with a snicker.  

[cptflint]

"I'm just messing with you Ben, no need to get all defensive. Live a little. Insult me back! This is a dangerous job we do. You might as well enjoy yourself while we do it," she replied.

"Her hips are far superior. Ben is doomed."

Azm glanced back at Lucy. "Pretty quiet back there... How are you holding up?"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

((This is the picture I was speaking of here))

"We also need to take this job seriously. We're so deep in enemy lines, it's not even funny."

"I'm not signing that cast. Not enough money in the world to get my hand anywhere near his hips."

"Hm?" Lucy looked up, almost not hearing Azm between the engines and her thoughts.
"Oh, yeah. Fine. Just been thinking about some stuff. Nothing important.."  

[cptflint]

"Dude... It doesn't take a good feel to see who's hips are clearly superior..."

"Seems like it's important... I can set up a channel so you don't have to yell over the engines if you want to talk."

"I take my job very seriously," she replied. "I just know when to have fun and when not to."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"I'm talking about signing his cast when his hips are shattered into dust!" Niles looked back at Marie for a moment, a bit shocked at what she had thought he meant.

"I've just been thinking about home, and Dad.." Lucy sighed.

"...Go ahead and set up the channel." She sighed again. "There's... Something I need to tell you anyway."

"Do you have to be so... Harsh, though?"
