04 🍎 Some cats, they know how to fight, some cats run

So let’s get this straight. Giant monsters attack cities all over the Pacific Rim [aaah he said the title!], slaughtering hundreds of people in destructive rampages, and three-quarters of you dive headfirst into glorified suits of armor to punch and shoot them.

Right. More proof that the lot of you are crazy.

You, me, Monopoly. What do you say?

Not me - I just had a boat.

[ She is stunning, deeply beautiful - but her hair is completely covered by a headscarf. Her eyes are a brilliant green. ]

Well hello.

Silly me -- A.J. Crowley at your service. You must have been one of the smart ones. And your name?

[humanmonster]

[ Her face closes off, a little. ] A boat is less protection than a robot.

My name is Fire.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

It's still more sensible. Boats exist to get someone from place to place, whereas those things existed only to attack giant reptiles. I know which I'd rather be in.

Fire. Unusual name.

[humanmonster]

A.J. isn't usual either.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

I've met more A.J.s than Fires.

[humanmonster]

I've never heard of an A.J. in my life.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Where are you from?

[humanmonster]

The Dells.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Which Dells?
