Misaki-chan

Sparrow laughed, nervousness tinging the edges. "Uh, no re'son... I'm fine." She smiled in Jackson's general direction as she added, "Jus' curious, Jacks." The girl squirmed a little in her chair, acting uncharacteristically. "Uh... well... Misaki's 'ere, ain't she...?" she asked as a sigh fell from her lips. "Soooo.... It's funny, really. On my way, I kinda, sorta... fought- 'im... an' 'e cheated. An' I can't see any of ya... haha, ain't that funny?" Again she laughed, her chuckles filling the otherwise silent room. "Just sayin', I didn' do anythin' reckless." "It's not good to lie, Spar." Misaki jumped just a tad at the sound of William's voice. I swear, he's a ninja... While the man did come to their meetings, he always had a way to blend in, hence making her jump whenever he spoke. As he put one hand on Sparrow's shoulder, he informed, "Jackson, sir, the weapon shipment got delayed by the recent Armed Forces attack. The attack scared off the trucks, so we'll be low on arms for a bit. I recently got word that Spar here chased off the entire attack nearly singlehandedly, but got hit by Blind Eye." Her gaze fell upon the girl, feeling a bit jealous despite the temporary blindness that plagued her. What?! Sparrow got to fight?! Lucky~ Wish I had been there. "We'll be without one of our best fighters, and low on arms," Jackson said, a frown falling onto his face. The mood in the room soured considerably from the news, including her. Damnit! Now of all times? "It looks like we'll have to fall back on our regular operations, sadly. Unless we get Brent to lend a hand..." Misaki could hear the shifting of weight, the slight discomfort of the mention of the 8th Battalion leader apparent. Brent was well known, and public opinion of him varied among the Rebellion. Personally, her opinion of the man was decent from being under his leadership for a year even though she ended up leaving due to lack of action. "For now, we will hold off on our operations, and get Brent's assistance along with his entire battalion. Misaki, I'd like you to get in touch with him. Bring a team." She straightened up at the mention of her name as she said, "Yes sir! I'll be back as soon as I can!" And with that, she ran out of the room, grateful to finally be able to do more than listen to plans. She entered the streets, her speed the same as when she had left the room. She wasn't lying when she said she'd be back ASAP. But after a while, she could feel herself slow down, tiredness catching up to her. As she slowed to a walk, she contemplated whether it'd be better to rest and run or just walk when she heard a loud honk. Misaki turned towards the noise before letting out a small grin. "Hey there Misaki! Long time, no see! Need a lift?"

The meeting was going well, albeit slightly boring. Misaki preferred battle to planning, but knew it was necessary to make them. As Jackson's voice filled the room, her eyes wandered around it, noticing that Sparrow wasn't there. Where is she? Don't tell me she decided to skip... As if on cue, the girl entered the room quietly (though just a tad clumsily as well; which was strange since Sparrow was anything but clumsy) before sliding into a chair. She opened her mouth to yell out a greeting to her, just because there was no way she was letting get out of missing part of a planning meeting with consequences, but someone in the group beat her to the punch. "Hey, Sparrow," one of the group said happily. "Uh, hey guys... Um, not that there's any problems, but- who exactly's here so far?" Ash smiled, faking normality, her light blue eyes blank of the usual cold fire that was held. "And by the way, does anybody know how long Gen'ral Petya c'n blind somebody?" The room fell silent for a few moments before Jackson answered, "A day to a week. It varies. Now how come you want to know?" It was obvious from his tone he knew why, but nonetheless he asked. The room fell back into a silence as they awaited to hear the response.

Misaki looked over herself one last time, scanning her body for any missing pieces. Members of the Nubinelle Rebellion were gathering today for a meeting to discuss their next course of action as well as train and she didn't want to leave anything behind. Once she was positive she had what she needed, she flew down the stairs of her family's house. The clacking of her heels filling the halls as she ran into the kitchen and quickly threw together a sandwich for her father before grabbing an apple for herself. "Bye dad," she yelled out as she placed the sandwich outside of his workshop, "I'm going out for a meeting!" No response came, per usual. Only the soft sound of clinking metal could be heard from the room. Still, she tried to get at least a sound from her parent. "I left you a sandwich where I usually put it, so don't forget to eat it!" Nothing. "If I'm not back by sunset, it's probably because I'll be dead from the Armed Forces!" Still nothing. "... The clock in the hall is off by a minute." His deep voice, spoiled from years of cigarettes, grumbled, "Damnit! I thought I fixed that..." Misaki could only sigh in response as she left, closing the door in a slam. Someday... I'll get his mind off of work. She hurried through the somewhat busy streets of Nubinelle, occasionally yelling out a greeting to the citizens of the country. It didn't take her long to reach the Rebellion's HQ, and as a result she got to the meeting just on time. As she entered the room, she smiled, "Hey everyone!"
