Reno tried to fend of Hikou's knocking and was surprisingly good at keeping the chopper straight as though he had been expecting it. "Hey! I'm tryin' to work here." He ignored the comment about the bogus report with a counter, "Why'd you need picked up anyways, get in over your heads?" He half glanced up, his eyebrow raised, a cocky smile plastered on his face. He expected an answer or even praise for having saved them.
It was impossible to ignore them all, Snow had no intention of doing that and she sighed as she thought of Rude who would surely be in the middle of the squabble in the next few minutes. Snow busied herself keeping track of the Spitter's vitals and health. It kept her mind off of the ride.

"You," Mikari gave Reno's hair another tug, "failed at Avalanche clean up duty and Spitter got in over his head. Sometimes you really give yourself too much credit," Mikari laughed, equally cocky appearing on her face. "You're here to save Spitter, not us."

Hikou's eyes roll so hard her head is thrown to the side with the force of her enthusiasm, and ends up planted on the back of someone's seat. "Oh, come off it. Like you use anything up there for work." She carefully ignores the taboo of the back-up call, and instead puts to words, "I see you two managed quite admirably, though. Couldn't even manage to land the chopper."
Rude quirks an eyebrow, "Where would you have had us land it?"
The girl scowls at what she had assumed was just a silent lump of flesh in the seat she was draped over, eyes turning hopefully to Mikari because she can think of no good answer.

"I don't fail at anything!" Reno argues, and he all but ignores Hikou with no more than a scoff as a response. He grumbles quite audibly, "Kids these days."
By now Snow's heard it all and it's quite aggravating to have everyone on the same team throwing egos and the like around.
"Enough." She finally says sternly standing as she grasps something for support. "We couldn't get out and you couldn't land - we all have something to work on." Her arms cross, if Reno wanted to play the 'Superiority' card she could play that game. "We have more important priorities, and as our seniors in this business, you guys should be the first to know when to stop the childish bickering." Snow stares hard at the back of the men's heads and she shakes her own as she feels every movement of the chopper.
No witty comeback would be thrown out, he didn't have one. And for now, she may have been slightly right. But he'd get her back later.
Snow swears that Reno is making the ride bumpier on purpose.

"On the roof," Mikari half muttered, half whispered. Who cares if they were already out of the building. She could easily explain that by saying that she knew there was no way they could actually land, even if they had a place and thus, predicting that, the went down and out of the building. There was also the chance that it could collapse but that wasn't important to the argument. She leave back, eyes half close, but paying attention to her surrounding, the movements of the chopper contributing to relive the stress, and she yawned.

Hikou smirked to herself, head now rested on the back of Rude's seat. "They started it, anyway," is the least volatile way she knows how to disengage.
Rude shakes his head minutely and returns his attention to the panel before him.

Mikari leaved back and tapped her feet. The ride could get boring if there was nothing to argue about. She considered taking out for PHS and having it play some music, but settled for playing that odd puzzle game where you had to match up Shinra symbols in rows of three or more of the same color. She always thought it looked better in blue anyway.

The ride back passes much quicker with nothing but the sound of the blades and the occasional button click or beep. And Snow pays little mind as she tries to focus on the kid. They land on the new building without another word and before Snow is off Reno is grabbing her by the wrist. The spitter is being taken out by medical staff and Snow looks at the red head.
"What?" She looks at him so hard that she's happy her mind is not focused on her nausea.
His lips move slowly, as though he's trying to word something. And he closes his mouth before deciding for a safer route of conversation. "If you puke on me, you're dead."
Snow's mind screeches back to the nausea, and she squints her eyes. "So it continues, eh, Red? Urk.." her pale hand covers her mouth and the other clutches Reno's jacket.

"Snow..." Mikari saves saves her game when they land. "Don't, if you puke on Reno he'll be too stinky for me to pick on him," she complained, because bothering Reno was a ton of fun and it had become one of her favorites ways to past the time lately. "Save it for Rufus," she grinned, imagining the look of Rufus' face if Snow showed him what digested food looked like.

Hikou hops down back onto the solid concrete of the landing pad with an almost frantic air. Her eyes are following the trail of white, enveloping her little catch like a pack of maggots, overlapping and repulsing.
She's almost leaned into the first step of the jog after them, but pauses, conflicted, tilting her head back to try and decide whether to follow them or not, or perhaps just drain the mother hen feeling out of her skull.

The feeling takes its time to subside and Snow can only manage a very weak chuckle to Mikari. Unfortunately the throwing of the word "puke" was not helping her stomach or mind any. She tried to focus on anything else and her when she looked up Reno was smiling like the cat who ate the canary.
Truth be told she'd rather save her lunch all together. Releasing Reno she turned to head somewhere lower to the ground where she could sink out of existence.
"Man," Reno commented loudly, "I sure could use some lunch! Come on, Hikou, Mikari - my treat!"
Grumbling Snow walks passed them all and stops in the nearest hallway. She'd get Reno back, she just wasn't sure how. Shakily she guided herself via the wall, and admittedly she was hoping to have had the motion sickness kicked by now.

Hikou glanced from Snow to Reno and back again. "All right..." she agrees slowly, fairly certain this is another scam to stick her and Mikari his tab, but tired as the girl was, she could still feel the grating in the bottom of her stomach, and knew she would get no decent rest trying to digest air.

"I guess you mean a lunch that isn't Snow's..." Mikari half joke to Reno, as if to remind him that he wasn't 100% safe yet. She gave Snow a very gentle pat on the back, so as to show some support but not push her out of the concentration of keeping her stomach's contents inside her stomach.
"Your treat?" Mikari grinned mischievously. It would be amusing if she made Reno order for her, especially with what she liked, it might even be worth it if he ran off and left them with the bill. "I want a slice of chicken pizza with chocolate ice cream on top and two cans of Pepsi." To her, things like pizza with ice cream on top and chocolate chip cookies with BBQ sauce where perfectly normal.

"Wait until we get to the cafeteria." Reno scolded Mikari, "I'm not going to remember that." Which also translated to And I'm not going to order for you either. Reno escorted the group to the cafeteria looking back to give Snow a smile and a thumbs up - but never extended the invitation to her and knew she wouldn't invite herself. He assumed Rude was right behind him and going to have lunch as well, admittedly he was enjoying picking on Snow, that he wouldn't have noticed one way or another.
Snow tried to decide whether to see Tseng, go to the infirmary or try to 'drown' herself in the shower. At the next company meeting she was going to bring up the need for peppermint in the vending machines.

"It's really not that hard to remember... Are you sure all you don't have a hole in your head? Make sure to check just in case." Mikari was not one to remain quiet. She had a reply for everything, some of her replies made sense and others didn't, but she still had a reply.

Hikou shrugged her jacket off, tailing behind the two, and gave an expertly misplaced jab at the hunk of gauze barely visible underneath her white shirt.
She hissed loudly, fully aware now that she was definitely not, in fact, a doctor.
"I just want a cheeseburger," she whined pathetically.

"And Pepsi, you need something to go with it and Pepsi is the best drink ever."
Mikari typed up the orders on the PHS and texted them to Reno, if only to bug him.
Pizza w/icecream + Pepsi & cheese burgr 4 Hikou + more Pepsi

Reno ignored his PHS, he knew what would be on it. He turned to Mikari and offered a smile, "I'm not your parents so I'm not ordering for you." And he opened the door to the cafeteria and cut all the way to the front of the line, as though the Turks were more important than everyone else. He leaned on the counter in a manner he would have described authoritatively and everyone else would have classed as lazy.
And despite saying he wasn't ordering he belted out, "I need one cheeseburger, four pepsis, chicken pizza with chocolate ice cream on top, Ah." He paused, "I'll have a hamburger and some fries. Hikou, what'd you want to drink? Rude! Get up here, man!"
The entire staff looked at him like he was insane and the employees behind him looked as though they wanted to say something. But when he looked back, the looked away.
---
Snow went to the infirmary, she was not as quick as the medical staff dealing with their now prized possession, but she needed someone to look at her ankle and for someone to make the world stop spinning.
She sat on one of the chairs.
"You feeling alright?"
She looked up to spot Tseng and jolted out of the seat. He chuckled and shook his head. "I'm here to see what a "Spitter" is." he answered thoughtfully. "Apparently Turks property."
"A kid we found in the wreckage." Snow corrected, "He has an affinity for spitting."

Mikari pressed a few more button on her PHS and set it to automatically spam Reno, revenge was childish but sweet, with any luck he would eventually run out of space, miss something important and end up with extra paper work on something, never mind that it was obvious she caused it, and never mind the difficulties it could bring. Then quickly set it to stop spamming when Reno actually ordered. Oh well, he could fix his inbox by choosing to delete all the messages, no real damage done. She watched the staff and employees reactions and laughed at them, much more than with them, they weren't exactly laughing anyway.

Hikou took a quiet moment to mull this over. "A cheeseburger," she finally decided again.
"I want another-no, no I want two more cheeseburgers. We'll talk drinks later," she barked. Cheeseburger time was serious business.
