|| I hope everyone is doing awesome! I’ve been very inactive due to being unwell (yet again.. It’s annoying, trust me) so my lack in responses I genuinely apologise for. Health and the real world come first unfortunately sometimes.
That being said, I hope that everyone is doing well and keeping smiley as always - Mei is sending lots of love and ice cream, as is mun, love and ice cream for everyone. <3
A knock on the climatologist's laboratory door echoed throughout the room to grab the busy woman's attention. Entering the room with a wide grin upon his face, Jamison limped his way over towards Mei and planted a kiss upon her soft cheek. Holding out a box of chocolates and a bottle of Ao Yun wine in his hands, he offers the woman a bright smile. "Happy Valentines Day, Snowflake~".
Mei exhaled heavily at the knock at the door and chewed her bottom lip as she contemplated actually answering whilst she was working. The climatologist had shielded herself from the various chatter of romance and the upcoming festivities of Valentine’s Day, she had never been one to celebrate and despite her adoration for a certain Junker she really had no intentions in starting. Jamison and Mei had already had the conversation of not being overly fussed on the idea of doing anything special for it, it wasn’t a welcome celebration in Junkertown and Mei had never really had that someone special to celebrate with so simply didn’t bother. Work was much more important than Valentine’s Day even if it might be nice to take a break and just enjoy Jamie’s company.
“Come in.” the small brunette called loudly to give the person permission to enter before she continued to idly tamper with a small device attached to a satellite laying on the table. Mei paid no mind to the footsteps until she felt a gentle kiss upon her cheek and couldn’t help but find interest in the person those lips belonged to.
Her face lit up instantly as she turned to face the lanky youth who held chocolates and Ao Yun wine in name of celebration, his hair and smile glowing as ever and causing Mei to mirror the smile just as brightly. Remembering to put down the screwdriver and device in hand first to avoid a casualty, the climatologist immediately got up and practically threw herself at the Junker, both arms being thrown around him and her lips crashing against his as she giggled fondly.
“Happy Valentine’s Day to you too, Jamison.” she sang happily in return after the kiss broke before placing her lips much more gently against his.
Little Miracle
It was going to be interesting for Mei to get everything packed for them both in time for their holiday. Considering the majority of Jamison’s clothing likely hadn’t been washed, he would have socks with numerous holes in (luckily, he had a mass number of socks due to only needing one of the pair), and any necessities such as toothbrushes were either lost somewhere in his room or luckily organised in Mei’s own room. The best thing to do would be gather what they could in Mei’s room and go from there, it seemed the easier game plan to go ahead with.
“It shows off me good side”, the climatologist thought every side of the Junker was a good side but considering how much she adored him, that was to be expected, even if his mugshot frightened anyone else who came across it. “Hmm.” she hummed in response with a soft chuckle along with his amused cackle. A hum was all she could really respond with, that and a kiss on the cheek which she gladly gave as she stood on her toes to reach him before resuming walking.
When he questioned what there was for her to still pack Mei hummed again but in a more thoughtful tone and furrowed her brow. Her endothermic blaster wasn’t going to be a problem considering it had been a while since her last mission with Overwatch and thus it was still stowed away in their equipment room. Snowball was going to be shipped with their weapons because it required a more detailed search with all of its wires, charging port and such. Other than that, it would be the generic essentials which were just what she had to pack for Jamison as well.
“Well… Just the necessities, I guess. Clothing, bathroom essentials, entertainment which is more for your benefit… I doubt you’re going to cope with the flight being almost a day long, even though I think you’ll sleep through most of it.” the small brunette said with a gentle smile in the tall Junker’s direction, squeezing him closer to her as they walked.
Then came the mention of Snowball’s nest. Mei had recently come to find that Snowball had been collecting many things from members of the Overwatch team however none of them were actually given to the small omnic. On days where socks had been dropped on their way back to dorm rooms from the laundry room, headphones had been left in the break room or the odd handheld gaming console and even tools from Jamison’s room in particular, it seemed that Snowball was first to get hold of them. Under her bed, where she barely ever looked due to no need for doing so, there had been a small mountain of lost objects appearing over time and almost none of it belonged to her except for a couple of socks she had forgotten to put away. Snowball was a hoarder and seemed to be programmed into liking things that didn’t belong to it. The habit went back to the days at Ecopoint when it would take Opara’s socks, and tools belonging to MacReady, and although it was a mischievous trait it was something that Mei had grown fond of for the sake of amusing memories in Antarctica. She didn’t want to let go of that just yet.
“That reminds me, I need to hand a lot of games back to Hana before we go… And jars of peanut butter to Winston. Don’t ask how that little omnic manages to carry things, I don’t question it anymore.” she said with a laugh and a bright grin as they reached her room, unlocking the door and stepping in to be greeted by the omnic in question which had hidden after Mei and Junkrat went to announce their news at breakfast. Snowball buzzed around Mei happily before noticing the Junker behind her, flying off to its “nest” and returning to Junkrat having retrieved his toothbrush.
“… We’ll get you a new one, I don’t want to think how long that’s been there.” Mei said in a dull tone, blinking at Snowball that seemed all too pleased with itself.
The young Junker couldn’t help but smirk knowingly as Mei made mention of the inflight entertainment. She still thought they were going the whole journey to Australia. The plan was working. Perfect. She had absolutely no idea. With a bright grin, Jamison giggled at the woman’s response before he gave a casual shrug of his shoulders. “Eh, can y’blame me~? It’s a fuckin’ long way away! Everyone’s gotta get restless on a flight like that at some point, not jus’ me!” he smiled and gave his lover a playful nudge to her arm with his elbow. Still, even though they would only be travelling around half the distance, he was still thankful for the thought of entertainment for the flight. Knowing him, he’d grow restless and fidgety after half an hour of sitting in the one place.
His attention then turned back down to the climatologist and out of his thoughts as Mei brought up conversation of her hoarding robot companion. Video games, jars of peanut butter… just how much did that little guy take for himself? “Y’gotta teach tha’ lil omnic some manners, Mei! Even I’m better behaved in comparison~” he spoke playfully with another amused cackle to rise from his throat. Seconds later, the two arrived back at the woman’s room, greeted immediately by the excitable omnic they had been discussing only moments ago. Amber eyes watched as Snowball flew back off towards the ‘nest’ before returning seconds later with… his old toothbrush. Taking it between his thumb and index finger, the tall blond managed a smile at the omnic as he glanced at the dirty toothbrush. Even the trash rat himself knew it was best to get a new one.
Placing the toothbrush aside and giving the omnic a small nod of his head, Jamison perked up a little and turned his attention back towards his lover with a light grin. “Tha’s roight! Snowball’s not seen ya since this mornin’!” he announced upon sudden realisation. It was the omnic’s distressed beeps which had woken him that morning whilst Mei was unwell in the bathroom. “Didn’t know what w’s wrong with ya.. an’ probably still doesn’t know th’news..” he chuckled sheepishly, motioning down to the woman’s small bump with a light grin, resting his left hand down upon his lover’s stomach and giving it a soothing stroke with his thumb. He still couldn’t quite believe that was there baby there.
There was a wonder what kind of aircraft Mei and Junkrat would be venturing to Australia on, considering it was such a long flight she prayed for something comfortable. Business class would be a godsend for the leg room with the lanky Junker but then his shrill giggling would likely be enough to send fellow passengers insane. Perhaps borrowing some portable video games from Hana before leaving would be an ideal thing, especially if there were shooting games. Jamie seemed to enjoy those.
“Snowball definitely has manners... It just... It likes to take things.” Mei attempted to defend her little companion but even she had to admit that Snowball had a problem when it came to hoarding things that didn’t belong to either of them. It didn’t matter much for it to take things that belonged to Jamie considering he spent as much time in her room as she did, but as for things that belonged to others it was likely going to cause a bit of frustration once they found out exactly what had been ongoing. Perhaps returning things so that they suddenly ‘turned up’ would be a better option.
Snowball seemed to hover around Jamison with interest and responded to his mention of ‘news’ with emoticon question marks that lingered only momentarily before being replaced with emoticon eyes again. Although there was very little that the omnic could do in the way of communication with humans it still did its best and Mei adored it for that much at least. Snowball truly was her best friend, or at least omnic best friend.
Mei looked up at Jamison and couldn’t help but smile when his hand rested on her stomach, her lips pressing gently against his cheek momentarily in a loving manner before she turned her head to look at the intrigued drone.
“I’ve been unwell because I’m pregnant, Snowball, that means a little one for you to play with and help us look after. Think you could do that for me?” she questioned softly with that same fond smile.
It was a wonder if Snowball truly understood what the climatologist meant in regard to her being pregnant but regardless it responded positively with a happy spin and a thumbs up. Mei knew when the time came around for her to finally have the baby that Snowballs omnic instincts of protection would kick in without a doubt.
counting-cryostasis:
Mei wasn’t unknown to helping those in a severe crisis situation and this time would be no different than the others, aside from the fact the person she was helping was the one who caused the murderous scene. She knew to approach it with caution and had it been another member of Overwatch there was the chance the encounter would have played out differently, some were less patient and less likely to help than the climatologist.
The woman continued her soft smile as Mallory extended her own hand. Smiles were the most reassuring thing in such situations and all she wanted to do was help the poor girl. Mei had been in fair few bloodied battles to know when a person was in need and when they were out to harm others however this was a relatively new one for her.
“Okay, that’s okay. It gives us time to get out of here, right? We’ll go somewhere that’s a bit nicer. Maybe find somewhere warm.” the climatologist suggested as she very gently took Mallory’s hand but didn’t place a firm grip on it to allow the woman to decide if she really wanted to hold on or not. “Is there anything you want to talk about that would help? Or maybe singing or something?”
Mei’s hand curled around hers, gentle. Careful. Mallory swallowed, letting it be taken, gently pulling herself to her feet. The woman was…just about as small as her.
Get out of here. Somewhere warm. A weak chuckle, not filled with much humor. “…I’ve got the warm part down.” She closed her eyes a moment, and her hand warmed in Mei’s, almost glowing faintly.
Talk about. A thick swallow, and they began to walk away from the carnage, Mallory stumbling a bit. “…who…are you? I…that you aren’t….scared of me.”
The climatologist gave a soft and reassuring smile as she lead Mallory from the horrendous mass of murder. Trying to help the girl focus on something other than what had just happened, considering the extent of what had happened, was going to be a challenge but she was willing to try regardless. It wasn't every day Mei would come across a scene such as the one she had found Mallory in, or even to find by herself.
“Hm? Scared of you?” she questioned in return with a soft chuckle to follow, shrugging a shoulder. “Why would I be scared? You’ve not harmed me, and I don’t think you would even if you wanted to, right? You’re not evil.”
Mei wasn’t the best with words of reassurance, but she was always brutally honest regardless and she could easily tell that Mallory wasn’t someone for her to be afraid of. True, the scene that began to fade into the distance was dreadful, but there had to be a reason for what had happened.
|| Sorry for once again being so awol! Things in the real world have been a tad crazy. I hope everyone is doing well regardless! ^^
“Oh! I don’t think I’ve seen that model of bot before. They’re cute! Oh sorry, I’m Syf. I’m the newbie. You’re.... Mei?”
“Mm? Oh, you mean Snowball? Thank you!” the climatologist responded with a bright smile as Snowball hovered about the air and flashed happy emoticon eyes to the stranger.
“That’s right, I’m Mei, it’s lovely to meet you. How are you settling in so far?”
Syf grinned at the little bot’s antics, obviously amused as she listened to her new teammate.
“Thanks, its nice to meet the two of you as well. And I’m settling in okay, no major issues so far, though my own bot is a sight more startling than yours. A robotic dragon tends to draw a lot of attention. If it’s not too personal, do you mind if I ask what Snowball’s designed for? From what I can see of those little flaps, they seem to have some sort of cold weather reinforcements.”
At the mention of a robotic dragon, both Mei and Snowball displayed an expression of interest but Snowball’s emoticon eyes in more of a series of questions marks and mandarin letters toward Mei. The climatologist smiled to the small drone and nodded once as a response to the mandarin lettering before looking to Syf again with that same smile.
“Snowball questioned if by robotic dragon you meant the way of a drone like itself is, and I can only imagine the kind of attention you would get with such a companion.”
There was a pause as Mei eyed the woman and let a small chuckle escape her, she was amazed that by simply looking over the hovering omnic Syf would recognise it’s uses. Most guessed that Snowball was a cute little companion for Mei that she kept hold of after the loneliness of Antarctica, but there was much more to it.
“That’s correct. I’m a climatologist, Snowball helps me collect and analyse data as well as its own battle stunts with the use of isolated flurries to freeze enemies. But more than that it’s my friend honestly. And your dragon, might I ask what it’s for too?”
Ah the joys of talking about her favorite subject of all. It wasn’t often Syf found someone willing to let her pester them about bots. And Mei not only seemed okay with talking about her own bit, she seemed genuinely interested in Syf’s own friend.
“Valkyrie’s really more companion that assistant by design, though she’s perfectly capable of helping me do my job, whether that’s mechanical work or programming.” Syf grinned sheepishly before continuing. “My Da was allergic to pretty much any animal we could legally have as a pet, so I built myself one instead. Though in the end she turned out to be far more best friend than pet.”
Mei couldn't help but smile fondly at Syf when she spoke about her companion. Considering Snowball had been there for her through hell and high water for a large amount of her time as a climatologist there was no doubt that she could relate. Considering she herself was allergic to cats although she adored their cute and playful demeanour, she couldn’t help but be thankful she had a ‘pet’ of sorts in Snowball.
“That’s amazing! I’ve never found someone else who has a companion such as a drone as their best friend too.” Mei said as she watched Snowball hover about the new recruit with interest. “Snowball has never met another companion like yours either, it’s quite unheard of. Of course, we have an omnic named Bastion here who can converse with Snowball but it’s not quite the same.”
Mei couldn't help but smile at the other when she agreed to ice cream but more for the idea that they would be friends. Having heard so many horror stories about Sombra it was a wonder if she had any friends outside of Talon, were people in Talon even friends like she was with others in Overwatch? She couldn't really ask such a thing this soon.
“Cool!” She responded cheerfully with a bright grin on her lips, practically bouncing with excitement. But then came what she had feared but not anticipated; a very angry whirring little omnic decided to bump repeatedly into Mei’s arm in an alarmed fashion.
“Snowball, that’s enough. She won’t hack you.” the climatologist said with a frown as she grabbed the robotic companion and held it in both hands, only then glancing to Sombra with a questioning expression. “Right?”

Jiangshi and Junkenstein
Family. It made perfect sense for him to feel that way over his creations considering how long it must have taken him to work on such things. When it came to Hayseed and even the zomnics you could see the amount of work that was put into them not only from the various designs that plastered the walls but also by how detailed they were in features. The doctor could likely make a cardboard box with a drawn smiley face spring to life if he so wanted to considering his dealings with the Witch but they were all so much more than that. They had their own quirks and trademarks, some Zomnics have different expressions to others and different mannerisms. Although the differences could simply be down to poor wiring she highly doubted he minded their differences, he certainly didn’t mind it with the odd straw character scuttling around the place. Mei wondered momentarily about her own family... How many centuries had it been since she had seen them? How did they feel when they learned she had passed away or had they even been notified? It had been in a time where the world passed by whether you were there or not, you didn’t matter all that much if you weren’t there to prove something of yourself. And, considering her demise was the want of many male scientists, it was likely glad for her parents to have that humiliation end and oddly enough such thoughts didn’t sadden her. They would have been happy.
Junkenstein’s smile though sinister as it seemed was very welcoming to Mei and almost immediately reassured her even before the words were spoken. It was going to either be a light-hearted subject, the fact that she would need to drain his blood frequently, or it was going to be one the scientist truly dreaded and she prayed it wasn’t the latter.
“Actually...” the Jiangshi began with a soft chuckle and smile toward the man, fangs appearing once more as she offered him her own smile. “When Jiangshi don’t drink blood in time they’re simply weakened, very similar to when your body suffers from an illness and feels heavier than normal. I’ll just be very low in mood so I promise you’ll not have to deal with the wrath of a hungry Jiangshi.”
The thought of being an angry Jiangshi quite amused her seeing as prior to that night she hadn’t been able to do much than hop and stare at people. An angry looking hopping zombie... That would be a sight to see, probably like someone seeing a very large and angry frog that hadn’t eaten in days. Pathetic and amusing really. She mentally noted his door once more and nodded in response to his granting permission, unable to help but giggle at the idea of waking him with her voice than her teeth. Gently waking someone who was caring for her was going to be much nicer thanks than simply attacking them during the night.
“Goodnight, Dr Junkenstein. Rest well.” the small woman said with a bow of the head before treading carefully and quietly to the room which had been assigned to her. Once in that room where a coffin lay almost waiting for her and the door was closed, she let out a heavy exhale. For the first time in what seemed a lifetime someone actually cared for her wellbeing, and even if it was simply because it was him returning the favour for her helping his success, it was truly welcomed.
Her fingers gently ran through his strands of hair and fingers curled as they reached the back of his head, very gently gripping his hair to hold him close to her. Mei easily followed with how heated the kiss became and she didn’t mind in the slightest especially as her body was pulled closer to the man she so strongly felt for. In an attempt to get closer, she stood taller on her toes and pressed against him, leaning for balance and to close any gaps between them in that moment.
Had it been anyone else in Overwatch she figured they wouldn’t have cared and simply continued the act but she secretly knew, as she expected Makarov did, that they had to be careful. So many in the establishment looked up to them for guidance out on the field and in general and so, they couldn’t continue there or anywhere public for that matter. It was breaking the rules and neither of them could risk being caught either.
Even as their lips parted Mei found herself in a daze and still standing on her toes to reach the man, it was only when those words were spoken that she finally lowered to stand normally and moved both hands back to his shoulders. It was an easy guess what he meant for them to leave separately and she simply nodded, flushed cheeks being the tell-tale sign that she wanted time with him as much as he did with her.
“Hǎole.” the climatologist responded with a simple smile as she stepped back whilst biting her bottom lip idly, her eyes continuing to trace his facial features adoringly. It was strange how a heated moment could change fate so quickly, but she had been waiting for it for so long.
Beauty and the Beast [au]
When presented with the question of having feelings and to be broken with no repair there came a solemn silence with Thorne. He was certain that if he could make an expression in his omnic form then it would be one of sadness or frustration. Many of their colleagues had fallen at the hands of the master of the castle which held the question of if, by some miracle the curse was broken, would the fallen omnics simply remain in their broken state? Or return to their human form unharmed? He dreaded to think of the other possibility when returning to their human form; damaged as they were as an omnic with limbs torn from the torso and such. Thankful for once that Zorne was first to speak after the question, the more proper of the pair simply shook the thought from his head and followed alongside Zorne toward the East Wing.
Mei took her time to look around the castle as they walked and strangely the more they ventured towards the East Wing, the more in good condition the castle seemed to be. Sure, there was the odd curtain that had fallen and scratches in the paint but otherwise, it was nothing compared to what she could see of the West Wing and that vile dungeon.
The West Wing was crumbling at the very foundation; holes in the walls, paint stripped and scratched from various angles, rubble from overhead making the hallway an obstacle course. Perhaps it was just an unoccupied area? Regardless, she wanted to investigate it, perhaps she could venture into why the Master was how he was.
“Are you sure I can-” the young woman began to speak as the doors were opening but was immediately silenced by the beautiful room before her. It was nothing like she had ever seen in real life before, sure there had been images in storybooks, tour guide books and movies but never for her to see with her very own eyes. It was beyond anything she had ever imagined and for once she had the luck of being able to stay in such a luxurious place.
“... This room is for me? This is some sort of mistake, sure enough this is the wrong room.” she protested with a nervous laugh before treading forward and curiously looking around the glamorous furnishings fit for a Queen or at least a Princess.
Thorn took advantage of the question and eyed Zorne with a low hum, omnic arms folding across his torso. “Yes, Zorne, are you certain?”
