[Otacon had remained hidden during the time the war had gone on. When she emerged, she noticed the ruined halls, but was glad to see there were no injured civilians closeby. She was not a doctor in that field, but she did know the basics of first aid. Mostly because of Snake.]

[She had found herself missing her Snake quite a lot over the past few months. She had saltpeppered to keep her company but even then, she felt she wasn't enough to keep him satisfied, not just as a partner, but a friend. She knew he was hung up on his past failures along with the previous Otacon he had been with, and there was nothing she could do to take his pain away. That tore her up more than she would care to admit.]

[The engineer roamed the halls, trying to search for something a little familiar to her. She found herself standing in front of the Shadow Moses room. Quickly scanning the current floor she was on for intruders, Otacon paced her way quickly inside and stepped out into the cold room. If she could get back to her lab, maybe she'll be more productive and helpful. Maybe she'll be useful to someone.]

[Her movements were quick, yet reluctant. She swallowed hard at the blood stains that remained near her lab, pulling her labcoat tighter around her slender frame, but shut her eyes to move past it. The memories of the Ninja would always haunt her, but it was part of her past now. She couldn't dwell on it any longer.]

[Halie pushed open the door of her lab. The chairs were strewn everywhere and the room was in near darkness. She inhaled slowly, eyes flickering up to observe the broken super computers along the walls. Everything was as it was, yet at the same time, entirely different. She hefted up one of the chairs and took a seat, looking over the papers swept across the desk.]

Guess I should try and get this lab up and running again.

[ CALL ]

Snake, you there?


_{((ooc: For femmesnake}))

[After talking to Para-Medic again while being handcuffed with her, Otacon had realized that the two of them hadn't spent an awful lot of time together, despite having a few similar interests. Not only that, but Jane seemed genuinely interested in the world of the 'future', and movies. There was so much Halie wanted to show her friend.]

[As the 24 hours had passed by, Halie had left a little note for her friend asking her out to see a movie, considering Jane had suggested that while they had spoken. In heightened spirits, the nerd had puttered out and was waiting in the lobby outside of the theatre. She had some popcorn and drinks in her hands, waiting for Jane to arrive.]


_{((ooc: Looking for drquacksays but open for everyone. Movieees~ Feel free to drop in and see what's playing.))}

[White Day was a particularly interesting holiday that was mostly celebrated in Japan. It was traditionally a time that enabled men to confess their love to women. Japan wanted to outweight the balance of Valentines, so that men had a day to confess their love, too.]

[Otacon didn't need any confession of love, considering her relationship with Diana, it was not applicable, but holidays seemed to put Halie in a chipper mood. She was excitedly bustling around the kitchen on the first floor, making white-chocolate desserts; cookies, cakes, chocolate, marshmallows. White flowers decorated each of the tasty goods. They were all lined up on a table, pre-packaged into smaller containers in preperation for those who wanted to confess their feelings to whomever they had their eye on.]

[She looked really excited - even if not all of her baked goods were turning out as good as they could be. She had been up early in the hopes that everything would turn out decent in the end, because everyone in this hell hole needed a little cheering up.]

[There was also some alcohol and wine that she had found, piled up along the table to go with the delicately created goods.]


_{((ooc: LOVE AND PEACE, YO~))}

[This Otacon was making quite a bit of noise. She was working on something, it seemed. Stowed away in the Philanthropy offices, her tool kits splayed out around her body, and a strangely familiar piece of technology settled in her lap.]

[Her tongue was poking out as she worked, so very careful and concentrating with a screwdriver in her hand. She tweaked the machine, wanting to make sure it was poseable before hooking it up with her computer. She wasn't entirely sure what the purpose of having the MK. II around would be, but she wanted something to keep her busy. She was still a busy technician at heart, after all, and didn't plan on making any more nuclear weapons.]

[She took small breaks every now and again to sip some coffee. It had been the only thing she had in her system for the past couple of days. As all Otacons do, she had forgotten to eat. Her mind was too focused on the technology in her grasp.]


_{((ooc: Bother? :3))}

[Halie has been concerned about her Snake. She hasn't been informed as to what is wrong, only that she has been drinking for some reason. It made Otacon feel pretty low herself, because this Diana had closed herself off and had refused to tell her what was wrong, or the cause of her depression -- At least, she had closed herself off from Halie.]

[She wondered if she had done something wrong. As always, all Otacons worry about their Snakes, and usually assume they are the ones who have done something wrong.]

[She has decided to tuck herself away in the library in hope that she wasn't followed in. She wasn't really in the mood for company right now. She had her face burried in a book about mechanics, stowed away in one of the farthest corners of the room.]


_{((ooc: Bother? Y/N))}

[Ever since her arival, Halie has been wandering rooms idly. Some have caught her off guard, or have been entirely surprising and totally unexpected. Some she has been completely frightened of. Eventually, she was hesitant to try and search through any other rooms... But told herself that one last room couldn't hurt.

Little did she realize what may lay behind the door...


When she plucked up the courage to storm inside, her eyes glazed over in an utter swarm of pure emotion. Her eyes glinted up at the very sight of the near-replica of one of the dealer rooms at the Otakon convention she usually attended, which looks vaguely like this.

She smiled brightly, her heart lifting at the sights and even the smells of the convention sweeping her up. Dealers with merchandise... all for sale. And she seemed to be the only one here.

Excitement got the better of her, as Halie trampled into the over-large hall, stumbling a little when she realized what she was wearing. ]

Oh my god...

<sub>(ooc: Have an Otakon room! :D Once you enter this room, you are immediately changed into cosplay, whether it be from video games, anime, manga, other fictional character. You can only leave once you buy at least one item of merchandise. This includes Japanese food~

And just for the record - Halie is dressed up as Mikuru in bunny outfit from the anime 'Haruhi'.)</sub>
