Snow Day

“Oh god, it goes on for days… It’s enough to drive you mad.” Arianna whined, her breath becoming visible just slightly. Endless white blanketed all she could see. When the snow wasn’t coming sideways, it was actually a breathtaking sight. Well, it helped that she loved the snow, enjoyed the stillness it invoked and the sense of tranquility. “If my loser boyfriend was here, I’d have him taking pictures for me to show Jae..” She muttered to herself, crossing her arms over her chest as a means to keep warm. The good news (maybe?) was that she was relatively isolated, save for one other EFGF member nearby. Not having received orders lately, left her to sit in her MS and get further acquainted with the systems involved. 'It’s a good thing I hadn’t run into him recently, I’m sure he’s far more suited for this type of thing than I. I wonder what he’s even doing now..' Shaking her head gently, she glanced down at the watch that lay in her lap, always. She figured it couldn’t be anything so horrible. There was only so much trouble he could find, right?

She took a breath, soon yawning as she tilted her head into her shoulder and felt her eyelids grow heavy. Suddenly, a beep, the cockpit console flashing twice before catching her attention, startled she slowly came out of her stupor and stumbled to receive the communication. “A spar…?” She stretched her arms over her head and took a deep breath. “What the hell? Why not, it’s something to do.” Worst case scenario, she’d lose, learn more about herself and her MS; best case, she’d surprise herself. Either way, it was a win, win.
