1.

[So.  A mission's come to a close.  People are returning to base, there's going to need to be debriefs and mechs will need repaired and all of that jazz.  But juuuuust as you're finally free to go...]

Not quite yet.  You're not leaving until we discuss your little spectacle on the battlefield.

[Ah yes.  Maybe you said something indicating your allegiance to an enemy force, or you disobeyed direct orders, or maybe you wound up hijacking a machine meant for someone else.  Whatever the case, there's a nice lady who's going to be assessing you.]

If you need a reminder I'll be more than happy to give you one.

[Time for downtime.  The weather's bee n really great recently, and Ana's taken one over one of the base's balconies for her own use.  She's got an easel set up and you'd almost think she's trying to make a landscape of the horizon...]

A touch of red, and then... hmmm... more red here before we switch it up with some green and then-

[... She's fingerpainting.  Each finger occasionally dunks into one of ten cups of paint.  The canvas itself looks like a haphazard clutter of streaks, blobs, and round circles.  And when she turns to wash her hands clean she finally spots you.]

Oh, hello!  I was just...

Well I suppose you saw enough anyways, didn't you?

[It's the obligatory battle post!  Action!  Heroics against a gigantic behemoth that's some kind of weird mashup between an elephant, dragon, and scorpion with whole chunks of its body composed of crystals.  And with a city as the battlefield, there's also civilians to and property damage to worry about on top of everything else.  But the weirdest thing-]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-

[Is coming from the machine on the monster's back, trying to avoid its stinger tail amidst all its thrashings while stabbing into it's backside at the same time.]



Not exactly her finest moment )

[Its a pitched battle in an urban environment, and the guy you're fighting alongside is...]

Oh c'mon! Stay still a second so I can hit you! I'm trying to do my job here!... Please?

[Well he's terrible at this. It doesn't help that its his first day on the job.]

Oh...oh no... nonono..c'mon not no-ah-..aaaAHahaaa...-HFGKJSCHOO!

[The mecha jerked to the left - barely avoiding a strike to the head and almost crashed into you!]

Oh..oh god... its all over the inside of my helmet...

[Somehow you can imagine whoever was saying that just had the most disgusted look on his face.]

[Everyone's back at home base and this barely competent twit was struggling to pry his helmet off after stumbling down the gantry like a stampeding elephant.]

Ack! You- stupid.... why is safety gear so useless at everything but keeping me safe?! Get... OFF!!!

[He finally managed to pry the helmet free, chucking it to the floor before proceeding to vigorously rub at his nose with a sigh of relief.]



Aahh.... muuuch better... ugh... it was dripping all over the place back there...

[He proceeded to rapidly flick his hand away from him before just falling onto the ground with a thump out of complete exhaustion.]

...Ow... okay... I don't think I thought that the whole way through...

I have no idea! )

I really don't... )
