Dust and Echoes

[Fadedepic]

Gareth held up his finger. "Briar, that's because one woman can satisfy three men. I have done my research."  

[WritingWithLove]

Briar scoffed and rolled her eyes, failing to hide her grin. "Doesn't mean she has to enjoy it!" she argued, curious as to how far this conversation was going to go. "And what do you mean, 'research?'"  

[Fadedepic]

Gareth sighed. "I mean I've cauculated the maximum amount of males a female could please at once successfully, and I came up with the number three... And you DON'T have to enjoy it!" Gareth said, laughing.  

[WritingWithLove]

"When did you have time to do this research?!" she inquired, not feeling violated in the slightest; she'd heard worse.  

[Fadedepic]

Gareth stretched, yawning a little. "Funny you should ask. All the 'free time' in ONI was spent on this research. I had initally come up with four, but with the hip movement involved, the fourth person would disrupt the first person if we were to factor in teeth, which we naturally would."

"You're sick," she said, unable to keep a striaght face, "I don't know why I tolerate you." She chuckled to herself, not believing his gumption.  

[Fenrir Shade]

((It's cuz guys are awesome! Duh! biggrin ))

((EDIT: I did not see this fourth page... Wow. What have I missed?))

Fenrir started laughing, "Of course you're the one to do that math Gareth. But I don't want to share a woman with multiple guys. Keep your junk away from my junk. Now multiple girls one guy, namely me? Who could argue. But that's just how I roll."

((Also, just pointing this out, but we're all supposed to be about thirteen years old. We have some F-ed up conversations for thirteen year olds!))  

[WritingWithLove]

((Where I am, you're F-ed up if you DON'T have these conversations when you're thirteen! xd ))

Briar sighed and saw that this was one battle she'd have to lose. "You guys are always thinking with the wrong-"
Suddenly, there was rustling in the bushed behind them. She looked around, waiting to see who would go and check it out.  

[Fenrir Shade]

((Eh. Same here pretty much. Just not that in depth.))

Fenrir brought his magnum up to bear, and started walking toward the bush.  

[Fadedepic]

((I don't know about everyone else here, but I was having these conversations when I was thirteen, and I hung around with people who were deep-thinkers, so we DID have long debates over stuff like that.))

Gareth got up and looked through his sniper scope. "I-I have no idea... Thermal's clean...."

((Wait, if armor abilities weren't until Spartan IIIs, and Master Chief is a Spartan II... Then that must mean... Noble Six is a newer model of Spartan than Master Chief??))  

[WritingWithLove]

((*gasp* MIND BLOWN.))
((Also, I had a whole bunch of conversations like that, and it got really interesting, considering my lunch table consisted of all girls. whee ))

Briar sat up a bit and held her Needler close in case she needed to back someone up.  

[Fenrir Shade]

((Yeah. Everyone on Noble Team was a Spartan III except Jeorge. He was a II. But he modified his armor with III tech to be able to use Armor Abilities. The IIIs were made to be expendable. They eliminated the gene requirement, allowing them to use any children they wanted. So they would send in hundreds of super powered kids to complete an objective. And not a single one would survive. They were sent on suicide missions. Very few ever survived. The IIs were trained to not die though. They had thicker stronger armor, with better shields. The IIIs armor was lighter and had better stealth upgrades. But we're almost like paper against plasma. I'm the guy to come to for Halo info. I've read every book, played every game, I'm the Halo king.))

((And also, my friends were the same way. But I'm talking in standards of children that were raised not knowing about this kind of stuff. ))

Fenrir inches closer to the bush.  

[WritingWithLove]

((Touche. xp ))

"Maybe it was just a leaf?" Briar whispered. "We might not need to get too worked-up about this."  

[Fenrir Shade]

((Oh, and in Halo 4, the Spartans in Multiplayer are IVs. They are full grown men in the special operations division of the UNSC who were picked for the role. So they aren't children. Also, they have better armor than IIIs, but still not as good as IIs. Plus they were also trained not to die.))

"Better to be safe than sorry." replies Fenrir, reaching the bush and pushing it open with his boot.  

[Uncle Sciz]

"Yeah," Sciz said. "Worst case scenario is that it's probably a Grunt." Sciz turned around, pushing Fenrir aside and ripping the bush out of the ground from the roots, Battle Rifle aimed at whatever might be behind it.
