Miyako

First Crush - 3rd Ward - Hana's Clinic

---

There was a fair chance that Miyako had sounded convincing enough but any hope she had was quickly crushed at the doctor’s glare. Hana-chan. In more ways than one, she was the architect of Mi’s other side losing the fight. A surprising upset all things considered as Mi was pretty confident she had everyone in here beat with raw athletics, but that analysis is neither here nor there at the moment. The more important thing to focus on was the mad ravings of the mad doctor before her.

Mi knew a putdown when she heard it and despite having thicker skin, being called a monster still hurt. She knew that her Kakuja’s actions were wrong but it was something that she did not know how to handle properly. A curse that had befallen her but had to be taken for preservation. David was pretty good at helping Mi through some of her rougher patches but with his absence combined with Mi’s intense fervor to find him, she hasn’t been very good at keeping it away. So was it her fault for allowing it get so far? Probably but Mi didn’t see it that way.

As for the rest of the raving, Miyako honestly tried to keep up with Hana’s talking points but due to a lack of finer education, most of it was lost on her. She could only stare blankly, mouth agate, as Hana ranted. There were times Mi had felt on edge and she tensed up slightly, preparing to make a break for it (as much as she could in this state). Thankfully the perceived threat was never enough and in fact, the tail end of the rant sounded almost positive possibly. ”Okay.”, Mi meekly replied not knowing how else to respond. Another thing that came out of this was the names of some of those present observers. Speaking of which…

Takumi had surprised Miyako yet again. He claimed he believed her despite his allies’ stated distrust and out of everyone, he was the only one to respond, in kind, by introducing himself. An act that really humanized Mi, which she needed right now and one that she noticed. Out of everyone present, Takumi was really starting to consume Mi’s thoughts. A shy, relieved smile curved on Mi’s face as she eyed the man in a quiet, unconscious infatuation.

The other female ghoul, Rin, that arrived with Itsuki had almost gone entirely unnoticed by Miyako at this point. She was quiet, waifish girl and appeared in many aspects to mirror Mi. They would probably get along if not for the fact that Rin’s simple interaction with Takumi had stirred emotions in Mi that she hadn’t felt in a long time. Passive thoughts of Mi finding a way to get her chin to rest on that man’s shoulders had begun to kindle in the back of her mind. Most thoughts had involved forcibly removing Rin in various, sometimes violent, means. Her smile was gone now as Mi’s glowered stare lingered for a moment on Rin before her attention snapped back to conversation elsewhere.

Itsuki had just finished the end of what seemed like a threat to Hana before his gaze dropped on Mi. Another threat. In a way, Miyako felt sorry for him for some reason. It was probably because of the revelation that he also had a Kakuja half. For some reason, he was lead down that path and while Mi’s other side always had a hunger, she reckoned Itsuki’s was more bottled rage. It was best to avoid any incitement for now so Miyako merely nodded in response.

Her focus was brought back to the two she fought, Takumi and Hana. If Takumi hadn’t sold himself to Mi before, he certainly was now. Miyako’s heart swelled as he talked about her, in a positive manner no less. He was even standing up for her.

Mi didn’t have the words to describe the elation she was feeling. It was a foreign feeling though and internally, her mind was going haywire from it all. Biting her bottom lip, she leaned toward Takumi slightly. She wanted to just reach out and brush his arm, feel his chest. Thank him for what he was doing. She almost giggled at the man’s bumbling at rhetoric thinking it was some cute joke.

Enamoured, she was almost lost to everything else but she caught that Takumi had directed a question to her. ”Oh! I…” Takumi bumbled and corrected himself. It was a stupid thing to find funny but everything up to this point had bubbled over. Miyako couldn’t help herself but she giggled at Takumi’s recovery.

”You’re fine...”, she replied happily with an informal way of saying ‘no problem’. However, it was after she said that Mi began to think about the words and interpreted the meaning a bit differently. Her cheeks began to burn brightly red as she looked horrified at calling the man fine, even though she did mean it that way too.

”I-I-I mean.. I Mi never finished her stammering as she pulled back, pressing her back up against the wall feeling trapped. What on earth was happening to her? ”O-oh. R-Right. I’m sorry. I.. Mi swallowed hard as she tried to recover. She took a deep breath and managed, ”I just wanted to find help in finding someone I care about. I’ve been living away from Japan for years and don’t remember much about it anymore.

Mi’s early glee was gone as she became more sullen remembering David. ”I just want to find him because I think he is in trouble and I promised I wouldn’t let anything happen.”

It was the morning of Wendy's one year anniversary since being offered a spot as an operative under the Overwatch initiative. To mark the occasion, Wendy stirred earlier than usual in her room, brewing herself a fresh pot of tea and sitting silently in her room. There would be no celebration, or so Wendy believed, as it wasn't significant enough to warrant anything. Still, she found herself recollecting the previous year and its many firsts, like her first gunfight. Although exciting, there were never enough instances to warrant sending Wendy as a combatant. Instead, most of her time was spent on the maintenance and construction of various Overwatch products. It left many of Wendy's days to be a dull but there were some ways she'd keep herself entertained. Best example was walking through the damages Reinhardt's Crusader Armor had received, often imagining the sequence of events that lead the armor to her shop.

Ah, who was she kidding. She was still feeling empty in her life. It was a mystery to her why this was the case as she had lived a very full life already with claims that most men and women could only dream of. So why hasn't been enough?

Her thoughts had robbed her of enough sleep as she leaned back in her chair and gave a long yawn, stretching her arms out in the process. It was kind of pointless to think about life purposes this early, anyway. Maybe breakfast would cheer her up?

Wendy slipped into the kitchen of the complex after a bit of aimlessly wandering the corridors, passing the time with an ounce of curiosity to see who stirred where this morning. Turned out, all of Wendy's colleagues had the same idea. Wendy brought her mug of tea up to take a sip as she surveyed the room. Everyone seemed cheerful this morning, almost too cheery especially that Asbjorn, and Wendy deduced that it was probably a problem with the ventilation. She made a note to check that later as she strode over to the servery station to grab a plate of whatever they were serving and sat down in proximity to Erika, a less than optimal choice as there was just too much cheer being exhumed from Erika and Asbjorn.

Wendy buried her head as she stuffed her mouth of much needed sustenance, taking a break after a few mouthfuls to glance up at the director herself, Angela. "Yea. I agree with Tin-Man." Wendy recalled that Ansgar had asked what was the tasks for today. "I would like to know early whether or not this day is going to be another paid vacation day."

@Kaithas

It'd be fun to imagine there have been an instance or two where Wendy had to put out a few fires after Erika. Up to you, though, but I believe it'd foster a pretty good friendly rivalry.

@Jacobite

I'm pretty puzzled about Wendy talking much with Lucio or Genji. Ana, I can see it, though.

@MiddleEarthRoze -.-

I mean, suspension of disbelief, right?

▲ OVERWATCH: A New Era. ▼ (Overwatch Roleplay)

How about this RP's ships? Those are always fun to talk about.

There is a lot of chatter here and I probably can't keep up. Tag me if you need me.

@Dead Cruiser

Since everyone seems to be doing it, I'll chime in and say that I think I had rightly had qualms about the character, along with @Jacobite, in the first place. But, I seem to not have the ability to post eloquent criticism on par with @Sodomite, so I'll just say that I'm not comfortable RPing with a character whose only purpose is kill player characters. Villains really require something more than simply 101 ways to murder the heroes. I intensely second the fact that playing against him is going to be boring. What's everyone gonna do? Die? If you're a human the radiations just going to kill you. If you kill him the blast and the radiation's going to kill you. If you're an omnic, he's just gonna make you kill yourself?

I also really don't see the logic in this "Doesn't affect armor and shields, so it won't kill you" thing? Like, what's the purpose of armor and shields if something's going to bypass it all to get to the fleshy bits? Might was well be fighting naked against the guy, if that's the point. And if something has only minor radiation shielding, what happens to the radiation that seeps in? Oh, right, that's going to kill you anyways. Either way you spin it, there's no escaping the guy.

This isn't okay and a lot of people already agree. And, at this point, we've all been reiterating everything. And I think @Kaithas puts it all together nice and bluntly:

<Snipped quote by Kaithas>

@Solo

Hi. I believe I have the answer to such a character. Wendy's EVA suit is designed for protection against stellar radiation and I see no difference here. Also, incredibly, it does take a lot of radiation to be lethal. Look up charts on background radiation. Workers in a Uranium mine or at Cherynobl can be exposed to a lot of radiation but there has been some calculations done to determine their allowances.

I don't know how much radiation that character can use so unless he is throwing half a lethal does in seconds, then there might not be a problem. Hell, I might even consider him underpowered depending upon amount of radiation thrown because if it is an Overwatch setting, the more dangerous part of radiation exposure, cancer, is probably curable.

Edit: But ignore me. I didn't read anything about the character yet.

@Monster
Ça fait peur! Est-ce que tu parles français? Je continue à l'apprendre...

@Eisenhorn
Yes. Agreed.
