Stelle moves protectively towards Genevieve.
Matthew me looks out across the battlefield, the soldier is miles away, and so he opens up that bag of chips, because who doesn’t dorito during a skirmish? He crunches loudly, undeterred by the chaos of the raid.
Sophie glances over at Matthew, “Share?”
“The spirit herself is a fighter, though,” Ambrose supposes when the pistol gets lowered again. Arachne earns another look, but he starts his warding movements again, routine. “I have pets. Strays find their way to me.”
Alice leans up against the machinery, glancing at Preston. “You left it in the bathroom, next to the shower. What was I supposed to do?”
Matthew beams a smile at Malin, “These are good!” Sophie’s request he’s looking unsure of but then relents, opening the bag up, “Okay, they’re good.”
Catrina moves protectively towards Genevieve.
Stelle moves protectively towards Genevieve.
Gail holds one of her elbows with a deep sigh, pulling on it to stretch her upper arm as she gazes over Matthew and Alice pensively, listening to their chatter.
Malin eyes Matthew a moment, but nods when he approves of the flavour choice.
“Take it out of the bathroom,” Preston replies to Alice, nodding to her seriously.
Sophie takes a big chip, licks it and then crunches down, “Thanks” She says with a happy mouthful, politely of course, before handing the bag back over.
Alice shakes her head, insisting, “Then you’d be mad at me for touching your bag. It’s a no-win situation. Next time I’m gonna pee on it. Then it’ll be MY bag.”
With another soldier having fallen, Salim lowers the barrel of his carbine. Flicking the safety on with his thumbs and emptying the chamber, Salim detaches his magazine and seemingly inspects its ammo count with a quick glance before re-attaching it and securing it. Readying another round in the chamber, Salim keeps his sole good eye trained downwards. “Hellspawn don’t quit, do they?” Salim spits, staring past Genevieve as he continues to assess downrange.
Malin raises both eyebrows as she hears what Alice says to Preston.
Malin has eyes that are asking ‘WTF?’
Stelle moves protectively towards Preston.
Gail snickers quietly.

Catrina charges toward Genevieve.
Arachne turns her eyes, eyeing Matthew when he loudly pops open a bag of a chips. “Did you really bring spicy nacho Doritos to the fight?” she asks, not surprised. To Ambrose, she spares him a sidelong glance. “That does not surprise me really. You have an endless well of patience for that sort of thing.”
Genevieve charges toward machinery.
Sophie shrugs, “Snacks keep a body going..” She licks her fingers and smirks.
“I brought the Spicy Nacho Doritos to the fight, actually,” Malin informs Arachne.
“I wouldn’t be mad if you moved it,” Preston adds towards Alice. “It was a win-win situation for you.” There’s a beat from him, as he considers Alice’s next words. “Here, you have something from my bag. Just don’t pee on it.”
Ambrose has shades on, so who knows what his eyes are saying. Probably not much. “One would think,” he dryly deadpans aside to Arachne.
Matthew is midway into chonching into some more chips, and now Genevieve is asking for chips. His inner goblin is saying no, but of sharing is caring so of course he passes it over. “Sure.” Then to Arachne, “Oh, no that was all Malin, we’re a good team!”
Stelle charges toward machinery.
Within earshot of the conversation, Stelle responds to Preston, “You know most euh… men would love a pretty girl’s bathwater on their bag, no?”
“Angels… should stop being so hard to protect…” Catrina mutters as she tries to keep up with Genevieve’s dash for cover.
Catrina charges toward Genevieve.
Gail taps on her chin, glancing to the southwest, “Oh dear… seems that little rodent has some company.”
Alice takes a quick bite of lemon bars before leveling her pistol along the machinery, resting it so she can line up a shot. “Okay, I forgive you,” she says with a mouth full of bar.
“Good luck, Renacida,” Ambrose deigns, sending the crook of his fingers in the rat’s direction. Doesn’t seem too torn up about it.
Amber slowly jogs towards the extraction point, grumbling, “Today, I wish I didn’t have ears.”
Gail kneels down, procuring her rifle and aiming down the iron sights at the soldiers approaching.
“You’re both guilty,” Arachne condemns Matthew and Malin equally in her eyes, then leans over to grab a single chip to nibble on, bumping her shoulder against Genevieve. “Queenpin.”
Genevieve grabs a few chips out of the bag and munches on them before passing the doritos back to Matthew and giving Catrina a grin.
Preston cocks his head at Stelle, lifting his own carbine to aim it downrange. “Not me. That’s disgusting.”
Genevieve says “Three demon soldiers against one dead rat, taking bets.“
“I’m always guilty, but not legally until I’m proven to be so, I think,” Malin says a bunch of words to Arachne, not even sounding like she’s sure they make sense.

“Definitely innocent until proven guilty,” Matthew confirms Malin’s words, glancing back at Arachne.

Ambrose just watches downrange placidly, gesturing toward the rat in question. “She will fall shortly.”
The current line of conversation at the machinery makes Salim all too eager to let gunfire drown out his hearing, the man preparing his barrel and firing a few rounds towards the encroaching soldiers.
“You know,” Matthew continuse on, watching as others do the very important business of shooting and whittling down the enemy before he ever has to, goblin mode engaged and just eating chips. “I’d say these snacks are what is winning this for us, if we win, of course.”
Malin says, “I had some really weird lawyer interviews this last week, though. I wouldn’t trust most of them. One of them told me to set Mars up for murder, which… I wasn’t sure why, but… it was definitely a curious and entertaining night.”
“Oh,” nodding along to Alice’s argument, Preston agrees with her easily.
