Creativity through Play; [open]

[micro_power]

Lou had always been a creative girl. In a strange sort of way. She'd already used her permanent markers around the Mess Hall. The back of the plates had been victim to Louisa's boredom. Each plate had a new and interesting little design on the back. Some of the glasses getting smiling faces, sad faces, crazy faces. All sorts of colors and types

Nori wanted food. And to run a whole lot. Mostly to run but since it was snowy out and snow was just frozen water and water hurt? Going outside was a non option. She'd taken to zipping around the halls til her gauntlets read at a comfortable level and now that she was done, she needed to eat.

She stepped into the mess hall, giving a slight nod to the girl inside before heading to the fridge and grabbing one of the orange juices inside. Now all she needed was a glass and when she'd retrieved it, she was surprised to see it was smiling at her.

"Huh. You do this?" Nori asked the girl with a small smile.

Lou looked up, noting the glass the girl picked up. "Yeah," she offered a one shoulder shrug, "it seemed so dull."

Lou didn't really like generic. With military in the family, a lot of things were generic, even Jane to a certain extent. But Lou, Lou was more like her mother -erratic and a little hair-brained.

"Gives them life."

Nori eyed the glass, tilting it slightly before finally smiling. "It sure does. I like it."

She had plans to smuggle this one back to her room. Her own special drinking glass.

With the freshly poured juice in her hand, Nori made her way back to the girl and sat down, resting one gauntletted hand on the table.

"I'm Nori. I've never seen you around here, before. Did you just arrive?"

Louisa didn't miss the bracer around her hand, frowning slightly but nodding all the same. "Yeah; just a few days ago." She hadn't really gotten out much. One snuck out night with Jane to catch up and explain and then the remainder of the time trying not to draw attention to herself.

"I've been unpacking." Not that it took long. Dumping her bag in the bottom of her footlocker was easy. Ridiculously so. "Have you been around long?"

"Welcome to the team, then," Nori said with a small nod. She took a sip of her juice, setting the glass down and examining the glass with a small, appreciative smile.

"I've been here a few months," she said with a small sigh, highly unamused by how long she'd been stuck here. "So you got a name or did I totally miss it?"

[micro_power]

"God; sorry. I spaced." Which she had a habit of doing, simply assuming things were basic knowledge. "I'm Lou."

A few months had to be a while, although Louisa did understand that they hadn't been in Russia that long. "So, where was the base before here?" As she continued to color her doodles, Lou tried to analyse Nori without coming off as strange, staring girl.

She'd been accused of that enough times before.
