There were Sinners she had met, and Sinners she hadn't. Each of them seemed to bring a new lesson for her, something to broaden Milly's horizons... The Chief had personally arranged the first two, and now it felt like a fun little scavenger-hunt to flit around the Bureau like a buzzing bee looking for the next hidden gem! At least until the Chief was better and could come back and personally give her guidance...
Today's 'mission' was something about finding a garden.
Though she asked around, she only learned about a "Greenhouse" in the underground facility. In the end, she surmised this was as close to a garden as you could get. It made more sense anyways! How would you get a garden to grow without sunlight?
As she rounded the corner, Milly's eyes lit up at the sight of racks and trays of various flora, some tucked into their own hydroponic chambers, while other more 'robust' species were simply sitting under specialized lights.
The entertainer's heels click-clacked across the walkway as she hurried inside to get a closer look. She hadn't seen such things up close... They didn't exist in syndicate, and the Euphoria only had select plants there to entertain the guests, most of them fake or living in such inhospitable conditions that they had to be regularly replaced.
"Oh mყ! It's bᥱᥲᥙtιfᥙᥣ! Hᥱᥣᥣo ᥣιttᥣᥱ fᥣoᥕᥱrs!"
Her voice trilled as she leaned down to greet one of the first blooms she spotted. The red shawl she got when she arrived at the Bureau clinging to her shoulders, placing her hands on her knees as she cheerfully continued.
"I hᥱᥲrd ιf ყoᥙ tᥲᥣk to ρᥣᥲᥒts thᥱყ groᥕ morᥱ! Wιᥣᥣ ყoᥙ ᥣιstᥱᥒ to ᥲᥣᥣ mყ storιᥱs? I hᥲvᥱ SO mᥲᥒყ sᥕᥱᥱt ᥣovᥱ storιᥱs I ᥴoᥙᥣd shᥲrᥱ ᥕιth ყoᥙ~"
The happiness in her tone was evident, her heart swelling with delight at the sight of such life... Death had always clung to her, but here, the scent of the flowers and simulated ozone chased off the memory of that wretched smell.
"Is thᥲt ᥕhყ I ᥕᥲs sᥱᥒt hᥱrᥱ to sᥱᥱ ყoᥙ? Ehᥱ! Thᥱ Chιᥱf ιs so smᥲrt ᥲᥒd thoᥙghtfᥙᥣ! I kᥒᥱᥕ ιt!"
Of course that wasn't really the intended mission for the day, but, it would work out. Milly was lucky that way, at least... Perhaps she'd simply used all her bad luck for this lifetime already.
