[b]Tatiana Lorenz[/b]

The meeting had gone as well as could be expected. Some of her had picked up on it quicker than others, but overall Tatiana was glad that she had managed to succeed at all in the first place. She wasn't used to being a teacher, especially not for stuff like this. Though it might have been an unfair test considering she was essentially working with herself on a large scale. It prevented some difficulties that might otherwise have arisen during the course of that practice session. 

Soon enough the gathering had broken up though, with some of her being pulled away to return to the war, while others wanted to sleep or relax or whatever else they felt like doing. Tatiana would wave goodbye and give her well wishes, hoping that things would be the same the next time they all met. She had to hope that there would be a next time, even with the uncertainty of the Nexus. If she didn't hold out that hope, then what would she have to live for, why would she continue with this path that she had chosen? Even she couldn't be like those robots, fighting eternally for the sake of fighting just because Eos said so. 

Even with the gathering over though, she couldn't bring herself to go back home, not yet. There was nothing to go back to, just video games, tv, and all the mind numbing junk that was churned out to try and make you forget that a war was on. As fun as drugging herself out of her mind to forget her worries sounded, Tatiana liked to think that she wasn't quite that miserable. If she wanted to be like everyone else she wouldn't still be fighting in the military. Eos would probably let her retire if she wanted. Maybe. She wasn't entirely sure on that one, and didn't feel like finding out.

That had brought her to here, with the glowing lights and the loud music. Even if she was not the one who had been willing to drug herself, getting drunk was another story entirely. With some of her sisters to apply peer pressure, she hadn't stood a chance. It wasn't that bad, she reflected as she took a sip from an amber filled glass. One couldn't focus on the fighting all the time. now she just had to deal with her sisters trying to convince her to sing some godawful pop song filled with way too much synth for her liking. Still, better than getting shot at or eaten alive by acid any day of the week. 

The ringing doorbell drew her attention away for a moment, and it did the same for her sisters as well. "Hey, ain't that Mega Maid? The one you told us about?" Tatiana nodded, though sh was also surprised. She hadn't been with them long, but she had gotten the impression that it was rare to see the two girls separated from each other. And with the expression she wore, it was clear that something was up. 

"Hey, over here!" Before Tatiana could do anything, the same companion who had pointed out that Hibiki arrived acted. She rose in her seat, waving for the girl to join them at their table for four (with three of the seats currently occupied). Of course when she did walk over she would find that there were three Tatiana's sitting there, one with short black hair, one green skinned, and one looking much like the old Tatiana had. And all of them at least a little drunk. It was going to make for interesting times.
