Don't step too close [ota; arrival]

The request had been utterly unusual. She wasn't even sure at the time if she wanted to take it. She'd been considering turning it down since the first meeting; she had turned it down to being with. Asshole soldiers didn't have a clue what they were talking about and if she was going to have to put up with that bullshit from them, she'd do more

Daken was beginning to feel more at ease in the camp then before. As long as he kept to himself, he wasn't bothered by either the members of the squad or the soldiers on base, just as he liked it. His recent talk with Sykes had put his mind in a less homicidal state as well.

Leaning against the dorm building as he smoked a cigarette, the feral caught an unfamiliar scent on the wind. His eyes soon picked out an unfamiliar woman with a bag on one shoulder. He wasn't sure how often the team got new members, but for now it was still a novelty that warranted investigation. "When did you get here?" He asked, stubbing out his cigarette.

Alice's head snapped around to the speaker, her brow furrowing slightly. "Last week, I just burrowed into a hole and stayed there." It was an automatic response -snap out something sarcastic.

Her tone wasn't nearly as caustic as it could be. She was fairly tired from the trip up from Los Angeles. Her bag was still over her shoulder, although she stopped to stare at this male. Ridiculous question really. "When do you think I got here."

"For all I know, they shoved your pretty little ass into the brig in the middle of the night two weeks ago and just remembered to let you out fifteen minutes ago." Of course, Daken knew the more likely answer was that she had just arrived, but why bother with manners?

Besides, being his usual sarcastic self was much more fun and the woman didn't seem like Little Miss Mary Sunshine herself. He internally wondered what her mutation was and if she was this snappish all the time.

my alert hates me and failed to give me this

"I end up in the brig, and I'm not staying more than an hour." She highly doubted she'd be stupid enough to get caught doing something that landed her in the brig, but either way, she'd just blow the fucking door and be out of this jacked up place before they could do anything.

Beyond putting a bullet in her head, and she wouldn't rightly give a damn if they did.

"Is this their idea of welcoming party? Send out the punk ass brat?"
