Return of an OC after some very heavy changes! (for SRW Uni)

[whats_a_good_end]

[1]

[It's early morning.  The period of the day that Ana likes to sleep through until at least 10 AM when she's not on-duty.  And unfortunately, something loud just... isn't letting that be how things are today.]

How... how can anyone put up with this?!?  You'd think there'd be some kind of 'quiet hours' in place here!

... Alright!  Some red there, a streak of green there and-

[Later in the day though, Ana's in much brighter spirits.  She has some classical music playing from a speaker outside as the cold, metallic fingers on her right hand running across a canvas.  She's fingerpainting.  Fingerpainting with her cybernetics, and enjoying it greatly.  And finally she adds one upturned curvey line to the bottom of it and then turns around and shows it to you.]

What do you think?  Does it remind you of anything?

[Not long ago, bad things happened during a mission.  Things that wouldn't sit well with many people, Ana included.  She tried to power through it and continue her dexterity training by playing a melancholy little song on her guitar, but one mis-strummed string too many and she has to stop.]

... Why...

[She puts the instrument aside, hands balled up into fists on her lap.]

Why would anyone or anything think that what happened out there would benefit anyone in the long run?  Maybe I don't see it, I'm still new at this combat piloting thing, but... I'm just not seeing it.

[That gets Peola a bonk on the head with her pillow.]

I'm not a morning person, alright? At least not when my job requires me be one!

[not_a_prize]

[Peola was promptly whapped on the head by the pillow, it doesn't do much to remove the bluenette's grin - though it does mess with her hair.]

Baaah, excuses. Its like yesterday was exhausting for you or something!

[whats_a_good_end]

Days usually are! That's why people go to bed at the end of them to recover their strength. Or are you just a robot unaware of that?

[Moaning and groaning, she gets out of bed.]

There, happy?

[not_a_prize]

Nope. Just used to getting up early, believe me when I say it helped me out a lot when I was younger.

[Peola chuckles as she moved over to Ana as she put a hand to the blonde's shoulder.]

And yeah, I'm getting there. Lets see about cheering you up too.

[whats_a_good_end]

I'll be fine. I'll just have to start my day early and make up for it with, like a glass of orange juice or coffee or something.

Unity Group bases have kitchens like that, right?

[not_a_prize]

Ahahaha... ye..es...

[She laughs nervously at this. She still remembers the toaster incident, nobody who had seen the mess had ever let her live it down.]

I'm pretty sure everything's working again so...

[whats_a_good_end]

What broke it in the first place?

[not_a_prize]

Well it definitely wasn't someone who put a cake in a toaster or didn't know metal was not supposed to be in microwaves. I mean... everyone knows that cake isn't meant to be in toasters right? And putting metal in microwaves is just silly!

Aha... ahahahaha...

[whats_a_good_end]

... That happened?!? You...

[Oh boy. Where's this going to go?]

... You had to deal with someone doing that too? I still remember when my big brother pulled that at home one Boxing Day. He was all "we don't need the servants to cook breakfast for us" and almost burned the whole place down!

[not_a_prize]

Y... Yeah! The person didn't even know what they were doing! I mean... toasters are obviously just meant for bread right? How could they even think of trying to shove an entire cake in there?

[Cringing inside so hard.]

[whats_a_good_end]

... Well...

This place is still better than home. Amazingly you might think, but it's true.
