fifth escape

[PUBLIC -- video]

Anybody else hate this whole...waitin' for the alarms to sound part? I mean, I ain't exactly hoping somebody else gets leveled or anything, but there's only so much tweakin' you can do before you need to see how it works in action, yanno?

Also, for the record, if these flares do work I'm takin' all the credit and the rest of you assholes all gotta pay me fifty bucks if you want the specs.

[Imagine that, Rocket designed BOMBS to put on his Jaeger. Will wonders never cease. Never mind that they did more damage than good last time he tried.]


[PRIVATE to Duke]

you up for a friendly wager?


[SPAM]

[Rick Marshall, AKA "Rocket" (so dubbed after a rather...unfortunate and embarrassing incident involving the explosives he's so crazy about), for all his impulsiveness and general erratic nature, is nothing if not predictable, in his routine anyway. Mess hall early, then a few hours in the gym, then tinkering at a workbench set up in the quarters he shares with Duke. He may or may not skip lunch, largely depending on whether or not anybody stops by to remind him, then whatever training they've got scheduled for the day right up until dinner. Evenings are usually spent trying to bilk the other pilots out of whatever money they've got to gamble with, or the valuables they offer in place of it; he's a criminal through and through, after all, no matter what he's doing now, wouldn't be right if he didn't try to lie, cheat, and steal his way to a good time.

Of course, trying to cheat at cards or stack the deck in a "friendly wager" does tend to get him into a fight now and then, especially when the alcohol's flowing, but hey. He's never been opposed to a little violence, and if they let themselves get cheated that's hardly his fault.]

[personal profile] theresalwayshope 2015-02-14 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Douchebag! Why the hell would you charge for something we could all use to put another kaiju down?

You are such a prick.
demolitions: unless otherwise noted (lemme see the man in charge)

[personal profile] demolitions 2015-02-14 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I think the big question here is if they work. I, for one, am spendin' my money bettin' they don't after the last fiasco.

[Boyd's own track record with explosives is pretty good. He might not know a lot about a lot of things, but he does know how to blow shit up.]
morethanvermin: (smartass)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-14 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Sweetheart, the guys upstairs don't pay me enough to do this on the straight and narrow. You wanted somebody who'd give away their toys for free, you shoulda told 'em to stop trolling the pen.
morethanvermin: (give it a chance)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-14 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, come on. That was what, one time outta three? And it ain't like it didn't WORK.
tucky: (I respond well to disembodied voices)

[audio]

[personal profile] tucky 2015-02-14 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you aren't at all. I wanna go. I think we should do more preventative stuff in these things. Patrolling. Yeah.
demolitions: (you go on right ahead)

[personal profile] demolitions 2015-02-14 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
You want I should carve that on your headstone? 'Here lies Ranger Rick, he made a bomb that worked a little too quick.'
morethanvermin: (smartass)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-14 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Better a little too quick than a little too late, you ask me.
morethanvermin: (up to no good)

Re: [audio]

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-14 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I could get behind that. Make a presence or some shit. Idle hands make itchy fingers.
demolitions: unless otherwise noted (casual and reclined)

[personal profile] demolitions 2015-02-14 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Not from my point of view, seein' as how the first way's likely to kill the rest of us too.
tucky: (I'm so sorry about your loss‚ LOL)

[audio]

[personal profile] tucky 2015-02-14 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm thinking about suggesting it to my partner, but I don't think he'll go for it. He's more of the cautious type, you know?
theresalwayshope: (talking} little more srs / conversationa)

[personal profile] theresalwayshope 2015-02-14 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You...know who my father is, right? I could say one word and he would kick the shit out of you until you share.

Or I could do it myself. Up to you...Daddy would be proud of me.
quadruplerehab: (more sadistic than an infant)

[personal profile] quadruplerehab 2015-02-14 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Deal.

And if they don't, I'll take fifty bucks out of your stash for the effort of hosing you off the concrete.

[John actually likes Rocket. As they're both largely unreformed criminals with a loose understanding of the concept of fair play, their mutual attempts at cheating tend to even each other out. But it's a good night if they end up brawling, too.]
hearrrtofgold: (your trouble is giving people migraines)

[personal profile] hearrrtofgold 2015-02-14 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Run your racket fast because in like three days I'll know exactly how to make them. If, you know, they work this time.

[Private]

What.
morethanvermin: (smartass)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-15 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Assuming he could catch me first. He's gettin' kinda grey, ain't he? Don't you worry he'll throw out a hip or somethin'?
morethanvermin: (insert sarcasm here)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-15 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. But if it takes out the giant monster on your ass, ain't it worth it?

[Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe he's just saying it for effect.]
morethanvermin: (insert sarcasm here)

[audio]

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-15 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Boring. Sounds like Duke, maybe we should get them a playdate.
morethanvermin: (plotting)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-15 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[He makes a show of considering this for a long moment, then finally nods.]

Alright, sounds fair.
tucky: (the bridge to the future is out)

[audio]

[personal profile] tucky 2015-02-15 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Don't call him boring. He ain't boring at all.
quadruplerehab: (it makes him so angry at me)

[personal profile] quadruplerehab 2015-02-15 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah?

And then I'll take the rest while I'm at it, since you won't exactly be able to stop me.
demolitions: (are you shittin' me?)

[personal profile] demolitions 2015-02-15 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know how you fight, but I generally prefer to face the giant monster, not run from it.
morethanvermin: (give it a chance)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-15 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
And what, you're gonna go to R&D and tell 'em about it? Come on, that ain't fair. I can cut you in on it too if that's the problem.

Oh ye of little faith. They're gonna work.


[PRIVATE]

Come on, you don't have to go to that tone. That's the mom tone. It doesn't look good on you.
morethanvermin: (ummm)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-15 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I prefer to call it a "strategic retreat".
morethanvermin: (up to no good)

[audio]

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-15 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
No, he just doesn't think patrolling sounds like fun like you and I do. Definitely not boring.
morethanvermin: (up to no good)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-15 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
What makes you think you'll be able to find my stash to begin with?
tucky: (oh‚ and an extra dollar for the aliens)

[audio]

[personal profile] tucky 2015-02-15 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
He has a different perspective on things.
quadruplerehab: (more sadistic than an infant)

[personal profile] quadruplerehab 2015-02-15 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Already eliminated around eighty per cent of the Dome, so unless you've got a kaiju holding onto it for you, I'll get around to it eventually.
hearrrtofgold: (consulting detective at work)

[personal profile] hearrrtofgold 2015-02-16 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
If I have to. And if you don't offer me 65% of the profits.

You'd better hope they do, because if they don't and we survive they'll freaking sue you.

[PRIVATE]

I'm older, I get to be the mom. If this is a stupid wager I'll ground you.
demolitions: (fun times)

[personal profile] demolitions 2015-02-16 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, okay. Go with that.
morethanvermin: (up to no good)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-16 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Why fight on their terms? You fight people they way they want to be fought, you're only gonna lose anyway.
morethanvermin: (not as designed)

[audio]

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-16 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. The boring one.
morethanvermin: (smartass)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-16 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I'm like a squirrel. When I hide shit, it stays hidden.
morethanvermin: (not as designed)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-16 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Ouch. You drive a ridiculously hard bargain. 50%.

Sue me for what? I thought of it first, I should get something out of it.

[PRIVATE]

Think you've got the wrong parts for it. And now with that attitude I'm not sure I want to tell you.
tucky: (what's he going to do)

[audio]

[personal profile] tucky 2015-02-16 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, fuck off. You don't even know the guy.
theresalwayshope: (smile} you do that / yep)

[personal profile] theresalwayshope 2015-02-16 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm telling him you said that. Then I'm going to see if we have any popcorn in the mess hall so I can fully enjoy watching him beat the snot out of you.
morethanvermin: (up to no good)

[personal profile] morethanvermin 2015-02-16 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Again. Assuming he could catch me.

[And assuming Rocket wouldn't cheat.]
hearrrtofgold: (whatever helps you sleep at night)

[personal profile] hearrrtofgold 2015-02-16 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
And you don't? 60%.

You will! Unless they literally backfire. Again.

[Private]

Fine, don't tell me. Then I won't tell you what I've been doing with that cute engineer, or what her friends are into.
brbculling: (haha oh right)

[personal profile] brbculling 2015-02-17 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
What are we going to do, dazzle the kaiju to death?
demolitions: unless otherwise noted (lemme see the man in charge)

[personal profile] demolitions 2015-02-17 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Facin' one of them things head-on is part of the job. We defend the coast. Those are our terms.
theresalwayshope: (hands} whatever / ohh-kayyy)

[personal profile] theresalwayshope 2015-02-18 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
'Assume' makes an ass out of you and me, y'know. It's a sure thing.

[Because that's what Allison is there for: to keep it fair. If anyone's going to cheat, it's her dad. And only because Rocket would cheat first. After all, according to Daddy, there's no such thing as a fair fight, just fights you win or lose.]
