Return of an OC after some very heavy changes! (for SRW Uni)
[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!
[2]
... 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?
[3]
[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.

The source of noise is right there.
"Wake up! Wake up Ana! WAKE UP!"
Sumika tries to pull the sheet off Ana.
"Wake up or you'll be late for... something! Early training! Morning role call!"
WORST ROOMMATE EVER
[Her hands cling to the sheets as tight as possible. Too tight though, on account of that robot hand. Some of the fabric begins to tear. Unfortunately, this was not a rare thing for Ana.]
Let go already! They said this was the last one they'd give me without docking some of my pay!
Re: WORST ROOMMATE EVER
Shocked Sumika lets go of the sheets. Maybe because resistance she feels is more genuine than Takeru's.
"Day off? But it's not Sunday..."

Soldiers don't have fixed schedules like that. And besides, I also have to help the researches gather data about the Breaker. That included testing performances at late hours in unideal circumstances.

Sumika smoothens the sheet and tries to fold in in such a way that the damage is invisible to the naked eye.
"You really have it this rough?"
no subject
But yeah... this really wasn't what I intended to really do with my time in the ESUN. I mean, I knew the risks that I'd be taking as a test pilot-
[And her cybernetic right hand and left middle and index fingers were proof of that.]
But being part of the Unity Group's different from even that. I mean, this place even has a lower casualty count than the Breaker Program did. And that place was just testing the machine... the Unity Group's a dedicated combat group.

Sumika's hair antenna stands upright like if she too was an alien.

Mundane, but dangerous. Even in this day and age test pilots still have to risk their life when trying to help develop new technology.

Sumika's cheeks puff up.
"You could've at least said 'It's a promise!', even if it was a lie."
no subject
But, like I've said, I have today off. So there's at least that.

"That's right! I'll have to make eeeextra sure that no one is bothering you while you're sleeping, Ana. Leave it to me."
