Oh yeah.
::Sato walked over to the counter and sat down on one of the stools. DAMN it was quiet all of a sudden::
Horny people all over the place. Girls who WANT it but won't say that they want it. Guys who want it but are too damn pushy... Yeah. Very much the same.

::Sato nodded. She knew what the kid was getting at::
I was showing my appreciation. A couple of days ago, I was in the Flight Bay, getting ready for a training sortie, when someone got me from behind with a TSP Pole... It's like a rod that discharges electrical current. I was OUT. Anyway, they tied me up. Turns out they were spies, after the data on Mosquito, one of our experimental weapon systems. Anyway, while I was out, I came here, and Luke and Cora untied me.
::Sato decides to leave out attacking Luke::
So I was untied and had my gun when I got back to MY place. Oh ******** were those spies ever surprised. Not for very long though. After that they were dead.
::Sato takes the bottle Lu has for her and uncorks it, taking a deep gulp::
AAAAANYWAY. Today I got a promotion out of the deal. You're talking to FIRST Lieutenant Ichiro Sato, now.
::Sato polishes off her shiny new rank insignia over the vest pocket of her flight jacket::

She looked at the badge and smiled a little.
"Is that the standard meathod of showing appreciation where you come from?" Luana asked a bit hesitantly.

::Sato let out a hearty laugh and shook her head::
Relax, kid. I'm not going to kiss you. That's only with older people. I'll shake your hand.
::Sato points the lip of her bottle towards Luana::
What's with the getup, anyhow? Odd to see someone like you prancing about in something like that.

Luana looked down. "Oh! The spandex. Well, see, I'm... Oh, how do I explain this?" She looked at the void around them as if the answer were somewhere and she just needed to spot it. "I guess you could say that, I'm kind of a superhero now."

::Sato just looked at her. Silent...... For a very long moment::
Well, congratulations, kid! Never met a superhero myself. What's your codename?

"Well, I'm Solar Flare- just Flare for short, and my friends are Eclipse, Helios, and Dawn. It's because my parents and Andy's dad were the Twilight Trio that we went with the Solar theme."

Well, I'll be damned. What do you think of the job? Fun?

"Honestly, if there was anoter way to ensure that my friends, family, and I stay alive, I'd give it up in a heartbeat, but..." She smiled. "It does have it's perks, I'll admit it."

::Sato nods, suddenly very serious::
Same here, Luana. If there was any other way to make sure that those I care about wouldn't be killed.... I'd drop out of this stupid ******** war. God, if only. But unfortunately, war doesn't stop because you want it to. All you can do is choose a side and do your damndest to make sure that side wins as soon as ******** possible.

Luana let a silent moment pass between them.
"You know, you and are not so dissimilar from each other."

Heh. Well, they say that people never really change throughout the ages. That folks are generally always motivated by the same things. How's your shooting?
