*Ra stares in some surprise as Mel but doesn't say anything otherwise*

Ooc: Salted crisps, paracetamol and full sugar cola, Vanden.
It's basically what's in those gross rehydration drinks, but tastier and works just as well.

OOC I have paracetamol, Coke, and salt and vinegar chips. Does that work?

Wtf is a crisp?

OOC: Crisps is the Brit term for Potato Chips. They call French Fries chips over there. Oddballs.

*Stands at the forest edge*

*Magnums trained on the forest*

*Puffs on cigarette*

OOC Dafuq is a french fry?

We have chips.
They look like this.

*continues to sing in High Gothic*

Ooc: We call fries fries. Chips are chunky cut fries that you'd eat one at a time.
Crisps are the crunchy things in noisy plastic.

I don't eat any of them, I worship the almighty hash brown and the lesser new-potato.

OOC: The only other term for French fries I know of would be pomme fritz, but I doubt a German term helps you.

And so far the only enemy we know of is the spider, right? Chance of daemons, but nothing else?

OOC WHAT IS A FRY?!
I can see what you mean by crisps=chips, but not what a fry is. Is it like a Maccas chip or something?

And yes. Hash browns are pretty gud if I do say so myself. Though I'd prefer mash over anything.

OOC: A fry is a diced up potato that is then deep fried, usually eaten with ketchup.

OOC: Pommes Frites, Chips, French Fries, all the same.

OOC: After a very brief Google search, does the term hot chips ring a bell?

And I love the effort we're putting into naming the same food types in different countries.

Ooc: When they cut the potato into sticks and fry them in oil, or oven bake.

OOC: Huh. Every Brit I've ever met always called every kind of fries Chips. From the massive Potato Wedges down to McDonalds fries.
Yes Vanden, those are chips here too. Though up here chips is a shortened form of Potato Chips. Lays and Utz and Pringles and the like.
A french fry is the stuff like you get ac McDonald's. Those yellow deepfried shards of potato
Oh, and BC, Hashbrowns are delicious. Wonderfully so. Though we may be talking about something different again...
CURSE YOU CULTURAL DIFFERENCES!!!*

*Ra shades his eyes and glances ahead with his falcon-like vision*
Ra: Nothing yet.... OOC: Waitin' on Verv. Don't want to just assume "Oh Khorne daemons" and ruin whatever he's goin' for

OOC Why are we even doing this lol?

So, in america, this is a french fry?


Lol I love the divine glow it has.

*The blind spot begins moving, creating a rippling distortion in reality*

OOC: Yes, in all of their delicious saltiness, yes that is a french fry.

BIC: *Shaper has an axe in each hand, staring out towards the forest*

[Waddles over to it and sniffs at it] [Attempts licking the ripple]

*Grabs Bc and pets him to keep calm*

To Bc: No lets not lick that.. you would be a wonderful pillow.

*Carries Bc back to room*

*Ra points at the creature and gestures to a trooper to take it somewhere safer.*

*OT moves to stand beside Ra*
OT: Sitrep?
Ra: Something's coming. Verv said it had to do with emotions from... from Jordan. *Looks sad*


OOC: Those are one kind of french fries. Not one of the kinds I really like. I prefer ones of a slightly thicker type and with pepper over salt. My all time favorites are lovely lovely curly fries with lots of hot peppers

*continues to sing beautifully, and the song can be heard all up and down the line*
*everyone feels inspired*
*missile launcher remains trained*

*The blind spot pauses, and moves rapidly towards a bunker*
*The entire bunker is ripped from its foundation and violently tossed into the air*
What did you summon?!

OT: YOU TELL ME! *Readies his weapon as Horus yells at the troops not to break. Ra takes a few steps towards the destroyed bunker then stops.*
Ra: There would not be any survivors from that...

OOC: Yes. You tell us.
Also Jhe said there were a large amount of Bunkers. so one gone is a minor casualty

*Looks towards the bunkers*

Gan above.. I did not do this, just wanted that out before we accuse me..

*Drops BC, and runs towards forest*

*Sheaths his sword and takes to the sky to follow Roland*

*continues to sing*
*Troopers all grit their teeth at the bunkers loss but hold their ground*

*Leo walks out of her room*

Leo: What the feth is going on?

*Larry is off on a business trip*

*Billy is still sleeping on Quetz while holding Jordan's bear. Morrigan is asleep on the couch. Joan and Scatty are in the kitchen talking quietly as Cal runs by Leo on the way to the troopers to act as emergency medical*

Cal: Something's coming from the warp! Most of the warriors and a great deal of troops are lined up ready to defend against what the rift spits out! *Runs off with medcase*

*song begins to change to a more war-like one*
*up and down the line weapons are primed*
