[T-2 evening, Mech Hangar, open] Getting acquainted

[Dorgan Bruun]

"What horrors happened to you to make you want to join such broken people like us? Not that we aren't happy to have you...but we are kind of screwed up."

"Speak for yourself, Snorty. Bruun, the one and only, is doing quite fine, thank you very much."

Noticing the young lady in skirt for the first time, Bruun quirks an eyebrow but lets it go. Prettiest damn mercenary company I've ever seen.

[Felicity]

Nobody seemed to actually respond to her words. That deflated her a bit.

"Err, I'm repainting her. The unit doesn't have any set colours or anything. Anyone else changing theirs?"

[James Hall]

"Heeeey." That was lame. Are you 10? "Erhrm, I'm Felicity. I pilot that one over there." She pointed back to her mech. "We will be working together, huh?" Felicity smiled softly, trying to be social.

James bows. "I am Technician James Hall. This is my daughter Mata." Mata gives a salute she saw earlier. "Hi."

[Felicity]

"Nice to meet you Technician James Hall." He hadn't said to call him James or Jim or anything, or Mister Hall, so she played it safe.

Felicity crouched down and smiled cheerfully. "Nice to meet you too Mata. Do you like battlemechs?"

[James Hall]

She nods. "I'm going to be a mechwarrior or an aerospace pilot someday. "

[Snorri Tycho]

Snorri offered a snort at the nickname.

Not helping yourself there buddy

In response, he casually flipped Bruun over and turned to Felicity

"Nice work. What used to be there that you're touching up? I, for one, don't mind putting on the Fortunate One's colors"

[Felicity]

"You must have good reflexes then. Let me know if you want to play catch or maybe tag Mata." She looked up and around and then back to Mata. "Or hide and seek."

Her gaze switched to Snorri as she stood back up. "I don't know if we have any colors. But, uh, as for previous colors." She smiled in a weirdly bemused sort of way. "Does rust count?"

[Comstar]

-/swipein

A technician, who had spent the last few days putting a coat of bland khaki sealant on each mech, sneezed, a few mech cubicles down.

It wasn't the final color, he was sure, but these machines needed something to keep the rust off.

Getting back to his work, he whistled in a tone deaf way.

Mata looks to James who nods. She then turns back to Felicity. "OK. That sounds like fun."

[Felicity]

"Better than waiting all day, but I'm sure you've been helping your father and being a good girl, yea?" Felicity asks in a friendly way.
