Patrol Nine | If You're Happy And You Know It...

[queen_of_swords]

[Action: Outside of Hospital]

[Once she's free of the factory and left outside of the hospital, she will make sure all of her fellow patients are okay on their own.]

If any of you need help, let me know, after all there's no reason to leave a man, woman, robot, uh, fellow citizen behind! Just let me know if I can assist you!

[Action: Around Town]

[She's explored town before, but she's never really gone into all of the shops and offices, so she makes that her goal for the morning. Because of the distance she'll need to cover, she's pulled out her dusty skates and can be found skating around town humming and singing to herself as she flits in and out of said locations. Don't worry, she won't knock you over, she's got the breaks down now, or does she? She may just be too absentminded to stop soon enough. And if she bowls you over, she'll be giggling. As a matter of fact, if she wasn't humming or singing, she was already giggling.]

[Phone]

[When she goes home to deposit her skates before work, she notices she hasn't seen Emmett all day long, so she'll pick up the phone.]

Has anyone seen Emmett Brown today? I wonder if he was in the factory and I missed him, maybe he's there now. Has anyone seen the factory where they're performing the operations? It vanished on me!

[After a bit of giggling, she changes the subject]

Have any of you gotten flowers lately? Flowers are so pretty, everyone should get flowers sometime. I'll tell you what, because I'm feeling so happy, I'd like everyone else to be happy. I'll give everyone who comes into the Flower Shop a free flower of their choice today!

[Action: Flower Shop]

[Yes, she's in a much happier mood than normal today. Employees and anyone who walks through the door will notice her perma-grin and fits of giggles as she works with the flowers.]

[Occasionally she will be re-locating her happy self to the cooler, because, for winter, boy is it hot sometimes.]

[Olney's Tavern]

[She's having a good day, and she's gonna celebrate with a few drinks! Go ahead, encourage her to drink more and see what happens. Or notice that she can't quite sit still, her foot is tapping to the faint music in the bar and she's humming along with the tune. Just be careful, if she drinks too much she might overheat and try discarding clothing.]

Really? I have a command in the mountains back home. A well though out snowball fight can be a good way to gauge the battle skills of new men.

Not to mention is amusing to dump a whole tree of snow on them with a well aimed throw.

[queen_of_swords]

[That's right, she does hate this place, but she can't help giggling at the fact that she forgot.]

I guess it's just been a really good day. They made a lot of improvements at the factory that aren't improvements at all.

[queen_of_swords]

[She waves.]

Have a good day!

[queen_of_swords]

Then I'll be listening for it! I can even teach you how to dump a tree full of snow on someone with one throw!

[She loves that trick.]

S'all good ♥

[canhasfuhrer]

[Thank heaven Riza's so collected - it helps keep him grounded in what he needs to do, rather than what he wants to do. So he simply sighs and tries not to get in his Lieutenant's way as he answers Olivier]

If the lieutenant wants a transfer, she can have one anytime. If she didn't choose serving under me, I wouldn't force her to.

[boostedfailure]

That takes a lot of skill to do. Or some device that got whipped up on the side.

[hyon_soudaishou]

Oh, tha'd be awesome t'know!

[ It does sound like fun. ]

[motheringnation]

Over there....

[Points over to a table.]

Are you sure you're feeling alright?

[queen_of_swords]

[She chuckles.]

I don't need any little toys to help me with that. Although, I wouldn't put it past my men to try and cook up some contraption to help them during snowball fights. They probably haven't because they know it'll b the first thing taken out in battle.

[She's in deep thought about this now, wondering just what kind of machine this would be.]

[queen_of_swords]

It really is awesome!

[She nearly falls of her chair with laughter as she recalls the very thing happening to a friend over Christmas week.]

It's really all in the aim!

[queen_of_swords]

Fantastic!

[She takes the pot and sets in on the indicated table.]

Are you feeling all right?

[Maybe she's asking because she isn't feeling well?]

[boostedfailure]

Guy I worked with liked to build gadgets like that. Got kind of used to them.

[godaime]

I've heard. I've heard about one case where a woman's limbs were twisted backwards and she couldn't even walk. [ ...She isn't going to laugh with her because Mayfield what have you done?! ] I have to wonder, what the fuck was that supposed to improve?!

[queen_of_swords]

[She nods, recalling the tricks hidden in his suit.]

I guess they can be useful. Do you have a favorite one back home?

[boostedfailure]

Of the stuff Ted made? Nothing that can be mentioned in mixed company.

<3

[equinamity]

[Riza dismissively shakes her head, patting Olivier on the shoulder, the movement maybe just slightly urging her off the stool just a bit who has experience doing this? Of course she's never done this before what are you talking about.]

Yes yes, that's all very well, Major General. But it is time to be going home.

Re: <3

[queen_of_swords]

[Olivier grabs the counter to steady herself as she slides off the stool. She sticks out her lip in a pout before giggling.]

But I haven't even gotten to dance yet. Come dance with me, Riza!

[Lieutenant, she has your arm in the steel grip of an Armstrong and drags you out to an open spot in the tavern. What do?]

[queen_of_swords]

Maybe she need a different point of view?

[Her brain can't believe the words coming out of her mouth, but something is preventing her from showing her anger.]

[queen_of_swords]

[She laughs as she looks around the tavern, then nudges him with her elbow.]

C'mon, none of them are listening, and it's not like I could make them. I can fight, I don't build stuff. That's why I have a team of engineers back home, and Fullmetal here.

Besides, who here is so shifty you can't mention it?

[canhasfuhrer]

[On the one hand, he does have some sort of duty as a commander to save his subordinate. On the other hand, he's genuinely curious to see if Riza can dance. So for now he won't intervene, though he's prepared to swoop in and save her when it becomes too painful to watch]

[That has yet to happen]

[boostedfailure]

Look, if I told you, my best friend put 6 months of development and testing into a beam weapon that vaporized clothes... I'm not sure how you'd react.

[queen_of_swords]

[She laughs and gives him a slap on the back.]

That's be a great weapon at Briggs. The Drachman's would surrender if we could vaporize their clothes in that weather! So, did it work?

[boostedfailure]

Right up until the point the girls got their hands on it.

[queen_of_swords]

[Her eyebrows knit together in confusion for a moment.]

But why would they destroy a perfectly valuable weapon?

[godaime]

Well, I'm sure reversing someone's limbs would give them a different point of view on how to properly mobilize themselves. [ That is some heavy sarcasm coming from her, but she's not holding it against Olivier. ]
