[the-coolest-kid-on-the-block]

Ana stands quietly, with a blank face akin to 😐. Woah.

*Ana is minding her own business, just doing her thing when from the shadows figure emerge, with puple accents and black face mask on her face and hoodie over her head, covering herself like a mummie. Only Soy and Medic knows she is there*

Miss Ana! It's been a while

Is our little secret still a secret or others know about the coin already

- @n-owhere-to-run

Ana squints, thinking if she's seen the mysterious figure before. She quickly perks up when she recalls who it is.

She shouts, almost a little too loudly, "Oh! Hei N! It really has been a long time, huh... Don't worry about the coin, I put it somewhere no one but me would guess. And I almost told Sniper one time, but I caught myself. I'm getting better at junk like that." She flashes her cloaked friend a smug grin.

[the-coolest-kid-on-the-block]

Hmm... I'm not that good at giving presents, but even to me Demo's really easy to get gifts for. The last two years me and Heavy just went up to a gas station and got some packs of beer, and he seemed to like that. She paused. Sometimes I get something for the Eyelander, too, but usually I don't. She shrugs.

Anything interesting... anything interesting... Ana puts her fist to her chin as she thinks, mumbling things under her breath. Ei, nothing I can think of.

Well, on Tuesday, y'know October 1st, Merasmus came and blew up our fireplace and started talking about wizard crap and Hallow's Eve 'n junk... but I threw my food at him, he yelled some more, and then he left in another explosion.

She looks at the ground as she thinks some more. Ana suddenly straightens up as she seems to remember something. Oh! And Demo's birthday is in a few weeks! It's on Halloween!

Ana rolls the shimmering yellow coin around in her hands, her skin tingling where the metal touched it. She notes a kangaroo minted on the front. If she hadn't had half a brain, she would've immediately dialed Saxton and asked him about this. She wonders if she should gift this to Sniper.

She has a sudden realization. SHE DID KNOW WHAT WAS IN IT!

A note is slid under the door.

The note reads;

"Tere! I know you don't have all day so I wrote this note to just say hi. I'm kinda new around here and am trying to get to know everyone! How are you? PS My name is Ana!!"

Spy turns back to Ana, gesturing to the box she placed on the ground.

Sp — "Bring it 'ere."

Ana obliges. She picks up the orange box and walks up to the two adults, visibly nervous. Spy notices how high-strung she is.

Sp — " 'Ou are not in trouble, chérie. Not as long as 'ou are honest about our... employer's assistant."

Ana gulps. Well, we... she...

Ana cannot come up with a convincing cover-story when N is sitting right next to her. She gestures to N for help, and eliciting no response, she bites the bullet.

We went to this old, dingy place to, uhm, get this stupid box. There were other people there too who wanted it, so... we.. She can't bring herself to finish what she said.

N — "She thought it was similar to one of your espionage missions."

He looked to Ana, who's head was down. She radiated shame. He sighed.

Sp — "Mon chou, missions are quite dangerous. Zhat's why 'ou never get zhem. We do not allow 'ou to go on missions for 'our own safety. 'Ou 'ave many talents, but wise decision-making is not one of zhem."

Spy turned and looked to N before standing, cigarette in hand. He glanced at Ana.

Sp — "I'll leave 'ou to it. Au revoir."

And he left. Then there were only two.

[the-coolest-kid-on-the-block]

Ana takes the orange box from between her feet, and opens the car door. She looks back at N one last time before walking towards the base.

She thinks about what N told her, grumbling aloud. 'Don't act brave be brave'.... that's the same thing. And I wouldn't die on a mission, I'm careful. I'm like, the best. The best on the team... I wouldn't die.

The gravel crunching under her feet turns quiet as she steps onto the concrete. She looks up to the door of the base, sighing. Ana can already hear the Mercs concocting a search party for her. Their concern somehow brightens her mood.

Putting on a façade, and tucking the bright orange box under one arm, she steps inside. GUESS WHO'S BACK! Immediately, there's an uproar of relieved Mercenaries.

Scout comes barreling towards Ana, ready to engulf her in a hug, but she holds out her hand for him to stop. He comes skidding to a halt right in front of her.

Sc — "Kiddo, wha–"

Watch the payload, dude! She gestures to the orange box tucked under her arm. I got to get this to Spy.

Sc — "Dat's what took yah so long?"

Yeah. N came to me and gave me this stupid box. It was a bunch of safety and storage jargon.

E — "Do yah know, by any chance, wha's in it, darlin'?"

Ei. I don't think N knows either. She just told me to get it to Spy, so I guess I'll give it to him.

Some other Mercs attempt to ask her questions, but she's already halfway down the hall. Turning into Spy's room, she sets the box down by the door. Before she can leave, he turns to her. Oh, oh no.

A note is slid under the door.

The note reads;

This– Ana ducks out of the way of a stray bullet. –isn't what I imagined a contract would be like!

N — "Did you imagine it like a comic book?"

No, not really. She shoots out the car window. More like a James Bond movie– where everything is super cool and easy–! A bullet flies past her and hits the side mirror.

Goddammit, I wish Spy was here. He does this crap all the time! She shoots out the window again, this time accompanied by a scream. I wish any of the Mercs were here!

N momentarily looses control of the car, but manages to reel it in, causing Ana to squeak in fright. WHAT EVEN IS IN THIS STUPID BOX!? I WANNA GO HOME!

hey, ana, long time no see, eh? mercenary work, i bet.

anyway, i was going to ask for 3

3 - I like to think of myself as a go-getter, fearless and unflinching! I honestly imagine that I am the best on the team, because I don't take it so seriously, because war is all about strategy, and when you don't have strategy, you are completely invisible!

"First of all, you're starting to sound like Scout. Second of all, what does that even mean? And third of all, are you sure that's how you think of yourself?"

Firstly, rude. Secondly, it means that I'm the best Merc. Thirdly, why would I even need to lie about that crap?! Liars are scum, just look at other-Spy.

"Did you get that from Engineer? Actually, speaking of him, he's here to fulfill the second half of the question. You need to leave."

Fine. This is getting too long anyway. She leaves.

"Now, Engineer, what do you think of Ana?"

E — "Well, she is a little rascal most of the time, but honestly? She's a sweetie. Ah don't know what we'd do without 'er."

"The question says you have to be honest."

E — "Pardon? Ah don't think Ah stuttered. She's a handful, but she's a lil' ray of sunshine anywho. A lil' break of monotony is welcome."

STOP TALKING ABOUT ME! UNLESS I KNOW ABOUT IT!

[the-coolest-kid-on-the-block]

Ana takes a breath. She resumes her hunt for a wrench, pushing and throwing boxes. She finds one, and throws it towards the hatch on the floor. Moments later, she finds another.

The noises outside the room are getting louder, as if closer. Ana fumbles, but manages to place the wrenches' jaws inside the lock. With some effort, and a lot of force, she breaks the lock in half.

She takes the orange box out of the floor, narrowly hitting her head on the desk again, and as she turns to leave, the door slams open.

I– I don't– She turns her head and notices N is gone. She takes a bobbypin from her hair and her bangs fall comically in front of her eyes.

Locks are easy... they're a bunch of little rods and they push another part out of the way. Very easy... She fiddles helplessly with the lock on the floor, jamming the bobbypin in and out of the keyhole.

She really, really wishes Spy were here to help. She knows he could pick it easily.

She spends a few more moments with the lock before giving up, tossing the bobbypin to the floor. She stands still, thinking, before suddenly remembering something. She begins rooting through the boxes on the floor.

Wrench, wrench, wrench, wrench, wrench, wrench, wrench— She's caught off guard by a loud noise outside the room. Her head whips around to face the darkness past the doorway.

A note is slid under the door.

Ana nods. She walks up to the shelves of boxes, and proceeds to take them one at a time off the shelf, investigate it, and toss it to the floor haphazardly.

Orange box... orange box... hmm..

It's orange, why is it so hard to find?! It should've been the first thing I saw! She kicks a box hard, and it knocks into a nearby desk chair. The chair rolls away, and Ana gets an idea.

She dives under the desk, narrowly hitting her head and swipes away dust on the floor. After the dust is cleared, it reveals a small hatch with a handle. She knocks on it.

D'ya think this is it?

Eugh, this place is dingy. What are we here for? An orange box? Why does that sound familiar... eh, prolly imagining things.

What's inside– oh nevermind. Of course only the witch knows what's inside it. She knows everything. Ana rolls her eyes.

Let's go get it, I guess. She runs off quickly in an unspecified direction, vanishing into the darkness. [I suggest you go follow her, or else she'll most likely forget the mission and start to wander.]

"Tere! I know you don't have all day so I wrote this note to just say hi. I'm kinda new around here and am trying to get to know everyone! How are you? PS My name is Ana!!"
