twenty-two ☼ spam, BLOO TEAM
[Mal still doesn't understand what Thanksgiving is. She doesn't strictly speaking need to eat, and when she does it, she much prefers rougher fare than what the prizes consist of, such things being what she's used to. And she certainly doesn't know what a laser is.]
[However, she's inexorably drawn to blowing off steam and making a grand fool of herself, so she straps on all the ridiculous trappings of this inexplicable game and sets off into the hallways. She tends to improvise extra armor for herself, made out of scraps of metal, bits of cloth, and such, for maximum visual bafflement but minimal extra protection. By the end of the first day she's died and reset several times and is cheerfully ignoring the fact that she did just recently die not a week ago.]
[Her aim is not as good as one might expect of a soldier, but then, as Bush might scoff, infantry: what's to be done with them. She can be found anywhere, but most particularly holed up by the art room behind an easel, grinning like a loon.]

[This is . . . refreshing. Sort of beautiful, actually, in a utilitarian way. The Barge gives her time to grieve, and then it forces her back to her feet. More merciful than a battlefield, more structured than everything that came before. She is pleased. If she were a cat, she'd be purring as she knocks on Mira's door.]
[She has read the file. Of course she has. It fascinates her, the swirling impossibilities twining around her legs, forcing her to believe in them. A world or worlds like these breed different sorts of men and monsters - and then there's Mira, born again. And again. And again.]
[It does not escape Mal's notice that she's approaching a suspect. She's not frightened, though. If anything, it makes the whole prospect more interesting.]

[It's such big broad sarcasm, but there it is. He's wound up very fond of this ridiculous corporal and he's not sure how he allowed that to happen.]

You know, that might just work! But I do like a diversity of targets . . . I could shoot at red things that move and you.
