BACKDATED: Egret 17-20

Who: SXT-2 and open
What: SXT-2 is dealing with her issues with some good ol' delinquency.
Where: Stores cabin and Sleeper 5A
When: BACKDATED to just after mission 1, Egret 17-20
Warning: Possibly mild wound descriptions?

Stores L2
[Occasionally, about a few hours every day or so, there is a rattling and rustling on the second floor of the Stores carriage. SXT-2, with battered feathers poking out of her orange team sweater, has wedged herself in the highest corner possible and stays there making unhappy chirping noises. The issue is most obvious in the illogically organic parts that's taken root in her head and back- chunks of the plumage is gone and the gaps are shedding powdery debris. She's been dinged up from the previous mission, basically, and unlike other things she doesn't have a way to naturally repair damage.

She would also much rather have stayed in the system with its decent network and is a little unhappy about being herded back here, but that's secondary. Either way, SXT-2 is dealing with her issues with some good old delinquency- so she's holing up here, and carefully scratching out a part of the train wall for parts. Whatever upholstery or metal panels she loosens, she slides into the damaged parts of her feathers- seeming to act on some half-formed preening instinct.]


Sleeper 5A
[This exact same thing happens in Cabin 5A. In fact she usually moves to the stores after the others kick her out of 5A, presumably. It can’t be easy to relax with a monster-under-the-bed situation.... but over the bed. ]

[Oh. Well, then.]

And you're... not allowed to have anyone look at you, without that license, right?

[She just wants to be sure on this one.]

Not sure how people would be implementing licensing procedures on a train, anyhow.

[The preening is... oddly cute?

Nita's not going to say that, though.]

Not intentionally, anyway.

So, without that option, you''d prefer being left alone here for now?

[It's not quite fully inflected as a question.]
unfavorableinstigation: Nita looking directly at the viewer, mouth slightly open, as if she's in the middle of an important or unamused expression. (Focused)

[Nita snorts.]

That's their problem.

[But, while she's not entirely content with not being able to help, she'll leave SXT-2 alone if that's the best option here.]

Good luck, ah, restructuring?, then. Or-

[Nita nods back up at the area with broken metal.]

Whatever that was.

[Nita shakes her head.]

Just fumbling over phrasing. 'Good luck' wouldn't mean all that much to you by itself, I'm pretty sure.

That works! Thank you for the thread.

[Nita just gives SXT-2 a wry look... but she nods, all the same.]

See you around, then.
