Intern Noa

Intern at the GSC

[noa-briars]

…Alright, so… guess I’m supposed to introduce myself?

I’m Noa. My last name is Briars. I work at the GSC as an intern, specializing in Virology and Cryobiology. I have also… had a recent development, in which I have ended up working at the ESC, in the medbay.

While I’m at the ESC, you can find me in Lab 801, with Ko. So, if you must find me, check there or the Medbay. Most times I’m in the GSC, though. If you can’t find me, assume I’m there. Leave a message with Ko, please.

My mother’s name is Stella Briars; she’s a microbiologist at the GSC, and the reason I got into science in the first place.

I’m haunted by a certain… ‘Angel’, who’s been worryingly quiet recently… Unfortunately, I’m bound to them, and they to me. I quite literally need them to live.

I have also gained a pet recently! They’re some sort of… dragon, I believe. Mostly white, and… oddly soft? It seems as though they have some sort of healing breath. They have three sets of wings, and they’re… oddly angelic? Their name is Koray.

I believe that is all, farewell.

[noa-briars]

a mysterious package has arrived. Its well wrapped, images of gingerbread people and candy canes on it. The contents of the box are: a trapper hat in the shape of a dragon <the wings are the flaps>, a large shawl decorated with snowflakes and crystals, a smaller trapper hat that is little dragon sized and is in the shape of a duck, two plastic containers: one filled regular baked goods, and the other contained some slow cooked pork with rice and beans on the side.

*Noa tilts her head, blinking. She doesn’t… really celebrate, so getting a gift always comes as a surprise to her.*

*Koray immediately grabs the mini-hat, running around with it in their mouth. Close enough.*

*Noa is… a little concerned over the food. Especially since she doesn’t know who it’s from. She checks for a note or something.*

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

" Feliz navidad, and hopes for a good new year- J "

*it was quickly written in pink marker, but definitely their handwrititng*

[noa-briars]

*Noa seems to relax a bit at that. Reyes probably wouldn’t do anything… too drastic towards her.*

*Noa mutters a thanks, and starts to eat from the side with pork. <Lunch/Dinner>!*

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

*there was more than enough for left overs, depending on how hungry she was*

[noa-briars]

*Chances are, there’s enough. Koray tries to steal some pork — Noa lets them. The dragon growls at the food, “killing” it before gobbling it up.*

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

*is it dragon approved?*

[noa-briars]

*Most food is… but yes!

[noa-briars]

Bit concerned on why Ko wanted me to bless so many weapons…

[robyn-i-guess]

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

[satan-offical]

"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven" yeah it actually fucking did. God threw me off their little spire of theirs BY. THE. NECK. and WOOOSHH-BAM! I'm on the cold, hard ground.

So yeah, it did fucking hurt.

[duckbunny]

"biblical angels" you do realise there are angels in the old testament that are literally just regular looking guys, right? you do know that the hallucinogenic incoherent descriptions are in like. two books. and the rest of the time angels are just guys. you know that, right?

and I'm not saying don't have fun with weird angels. I'm saying, either the eldritch forms are for special occasions, or the society of the angels is Many-Eyed-Many-Winged-Interlocking-Circles, Four-Faces-Six-Wings, and Mike.

[witches-ofcolor]

Literally Raphael is just a normal person!

[rubensmuse]

this is what the heavenly breakroom is like

[callmebliss]

Oh no now I love the water cooler angel

[a-sentient-cup]

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

Made some vrownies......they weren't regular browniems....I forgot that....wheeeeeeeeee

[noa-briars]

…Do I need to come over there, Dr Reyes?

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

Mfine, thabk u luv. How've How've you been?..

I've been meanibng to reach out

[noa-briars]

Koray and I have been fine! We’ve been in the GSC more often, recently. Not much to do in the ESC’s medbay in my specialties.

How have you been?

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

Good gud, designing a Lotta clothes, babiez growing too fast...might give ya your christnas stuff before I furget

[noa-briars]

It’s… unnecessary, Dr Reyes. I’m not a very Christmas-y person. I’m afraid I don’t really have a gift for you, either…

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

Ir can be a juzt because guft then, no need for anything in return

[noa-briars]

It’s… still unnecessary. If you want to give me a gift, you could wait until my birthday? Although you may be busy with Ko for that…

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

. . . I . . . I haven't really spoken much with her lately.

[noa-briars]

What did she get herself into this time…

Oh, really? Why not? Everything okay?

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

I dunno...something about gods and getting married. I haven't been a great uncle.

Again

[noa-briars]

Jesus- she hasn’t told me about that, either, and we talk somewhat regularly.

…”again”?

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

. . . Iknow I'm not really an unxl3 or any kinda relation to u, but I still feel shitty for leaving you and yourm9m without so much as a post-it or a giftcardorsimdthing

[noa-briars]

It’s fine. She does that, too. I’m used to it by now, and she’s such a workaholic that she has nothing she can say.

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

Still, you dont deserve that, hun.

[noa-briars]

…Right. Just… don’t worry too much about it, okay? It doesn’t particularly matter. Plus, we can talk now, can’t we? No harm done.

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

Alright....if you want to talk, or need something, I'm here for ya.

[noa-briars]

…Right. Thank you, Dr Reyes.

I have gotten my phone back! They kept bashing their snout against it. They tried to eat my phone. Koray has lost phone privileges.

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

Oop.

[noa-briars]

They are displeased with this. They’re trying to dive me while I pretend to not see their attempts…

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

Do you need assistance?

[noa-briars]

Not really. They’re about as deadly as a kitten. Only a bit bigger than one, too… and their breath is more about healing than fire or… whatever else dragons tend to have.

[mr-rey-of-sunshine]

Got it, im gonna take a nap, ringers on of you bneesme

[noa-briars]

Right. Sleep well, Dr Reyes.
