The Black Dirge [Sci-fi]

[yamikuronue]

She hands over a fork, then goes for the spatula, putting some eggs onto her own plate. She hands the spatula over, heading for the fridge.

[Hitoshirenu Shourai]

The girl is extremely grateful, though does not actually say it, and uses the tools provided to give herself a serving of eggs. Or rather, more like a half serving? Half what a normal person would eat. She clearly wasn't normal. She mentally prepares herself, placing the fork on the plate, and hefts up the plate with a slight grunt, shaking only slightly, and takes it to the nearest table, setting it down carefully. Whew, that was rough. She sits, then places her hands together. "Ittadakimasu" she whispers, then starts eating her eggs.

Despite the small amount of food, it still takes her a while to eat it all. She seems to have gotten a little more color in her face, which wasn't much to begin with, and doesn't look quite as bad as before. She silently puts her hands together, her thanks for the meal, and stands. Assuming there's a sink, she hefts the plate up, a bit easier now, and takes it there, rinsing off the plate.

She would then turn to Shinigami, folding her hands in front of herself and bowing to the woman, "Th-thank you...!"

[yamikuronue]

Shinigami grabs herself a glass of orange juice and eats in silence, still looking over her reports. She finishes before Kimiko, washing up at the sink; she's just finished scrubbing the pan when Kimiko finishes.

"Uh, sure. So they didn't tell me the details of how your power works; can you give me the rundown?"

[Hitoshirenu Shourai]

Kimiko blinks a few times, staring at Shinigami. "They... um?" She then looks puzzled. What did she do again? "Hmm..." She crosses her arms, seeming to be thinking hard. There was an accident... her friend was hurt... it all happened in a blur. Next thing she knew, she had her hands pressed on her friend's wound and it was closing. Mostly, she just remembered the pain. "I... heal? I think?" She scratched her head, a bit perplexed, trying to remember it more clearly.

[yamikuronue]

Shinigami openly stares at the girl. "...he gave me a total rookie?! Someone who only just triggered?" Her disbelief and shock is evident on her pale face.

[Hitoshirenu Shourai]

Kimiko flinches as the shouting happens. Instinctively, she covers her head and crouches down into a ball wordlessly, bracing herself. She's visibly shaking, afraid. Strangely, though, she doesn't make a noise.

[yamikuronue]

Shinigami throws her hands in the air in frustration. With a wordless cry, she storms her way through the doors to the common room.

[Hitoshirenu Shourai]

After a while, she realizes nothing is going to happen, and calms down a bit. She takes Yukki out of her pocket and snuggles the little stuffed bear, standing slowly. She doesn't like sudden shouting... it reminds her of before.

She puts the thought out of her mind and leaves the mess hall. She just wants to get back to her room safely now... and the common area is on the way.

[CalamityJade]

The table in the commons room was taken over by tubes and metal parts with a rectangular box next to where Morden was sitting. Gloved hands were working with screws and circuitry as they went to work on...doing something. It seemed that sparse dress was a thing, as they were again in a tank top and shorts with no socks and their hair pulled back with some sort of tie. Morden looked up when the wordless cry and seeing Shinigami storm out of the mess hall. "I don't think shooting breakfast is going to make it better." Which was only a guess, considering they had a hard time imagining their hard-nosed commanding officer being any good at cooking....maybe when the new girl had a turn trying, they'd be surprised.

[accalia]

Zee was still sitting in the common room, reading the technical manual.

"so... what blew up this time?"

she asks as shinigami explodes into the room.

[yamikuronue]

"The new recruit's a dud. Unusable. I'm off to call the Boss." Shinigami's tone is flat, her nostrils flared in fury.

[accalia]

"If he sent her to use he must have believed she needed to be here." Zee says, shrugging without looking up from the book. "Call the boss if you want, but I doubt he'll change his mind. Besides she's not that bad. Needs some work in keeping her nerves about her, and getting some physical strength, but really, i've helped quadriplegics get back onto their feet before, she's not half as bad off as they were."

[yamikuronue]

"She just Triggered, has no idea how her power works, and can barely lift a plate. She's jumpier than a mouse. She's utterly unsuitable to fieldwork." Shinigami barely slows, now entering the hallway toward the front where Zee knows the operations room is.

[Rednaxela]

Kenji, who had been reading a book, an old-fashioned paperback sort, looks up to Shinigami with a look of amusement. He was about the make a snarky comment but... damn... they stormed off too fast... Kenji looks to Zee and wordlessly shrugs.

[CalamityJade]

Morden looked up from his parts at all that. Wow, she was that bad? "Gonna go ask the Boss why he even got her?"
