It's pretty simple. This post is open. You can tag it with someone with a request or to be surprised, prompts optional (though if you leave it up to me it will probably be ridiculous), and let's have some fun. Muselist is HERE.

Have fun my dears.

It woulda been nice, sure. But that wasn't in the cards for me. Bill needed to be punished and they figured makin' him turn a young teenage girl would be the perfect way.

[im_apimp]

Yeah, I guess so.

[still sucks.]

But hey. It all worked out. You're here now.

[cheeto]

Exactly. That's how I choose to look at it.

[im_apimp]

Good. That tends to be the way we look at it too.

[cheeto]

It's the best way, really.

[im_apimp]

Okay. So this is ops. Next we can move on to the barracks.

[cheeto]

Lead the way.

[They weave their way through the decaying buildings in a network of hallways and passages that wouldn't necessarily be easy to find if they weren't looking for it. Eventually they stop in front of what looks like an old office building.]

We're cleaning it out to make it a little more hospitable. But everyone gets their own room.

[cheeto]

That's nice. It's important to get your own space. [she used to just get holed up in Bill's house -- which wasn't always in the best of care.]

[im_apimp]

It is. We never really had that back at Manticore.

[cheeto]

Everyone had to stay in the same place?

[im_apimp]

Sort of. We had barracks, so it was more like big groups in one room.

[cheeto]

Oh. I usedta share a room with my little sister but that's hardly the same.

[im_apimp]

No, not really. But siblings are still good.

[cheeto]

They are.

[im_apimp]

I don't have blood ones, but the kids in my unit were pretty much my brothers and sisters.

[cheeto]

Makes sense. You grew up together, right?

[im_apimp]

[he nods]

Yep. We were taught to stick together.

[cheeto]

Safety in numbers?

[im_apimp]

Something like that. I think it was more about teaching us loyalty.

[cheeto]

Makes sense, considerin' they were trying to train you to be soldiers and all.

[im_apimp]

[nods]

They wanted to be sure we were loyal to Manticore. It both did and didn't work.

[cheeto]

How did it not work?

[im_apimp]

We were loyal to each other, and to a point we were loyal to them. But when it came to our lives versus their wishes, we fought back.

[cheeto]

[She grins a little.] Bet they didn't like that
