I. Is Hair That Interesting?

Winter was never Tae's favorite part of the year. It was cold, there was snow, she couldn't wear the sort of clothes she preferred. Throw in this whole candy land sort of motif meant she was less than impressed. But hey, there was only so much a person could do about the weather. In this case it was about wearing layers she found in the dressers here, but it was something, right?

Still, there was something here that was making her uncomfortable. Which was rather annoying with every time it happened. Like here and now, while Tae was in the mess hall place, trying to get herself a nice replicated traditional breakfast with rice and miso soup and a well made egg. Maybe she should have expected it.

She feels a touch, perhaps. No, not a touch. Something ghostly brushing her hair. Which could only mean one thing.

"Don't," she hisses, turning to glare up at an Agrii. One that clearly doesn't comprehend and is intrigued by her hair. "That isn't polite."

Someone might want to step in before this turns into something bad.

II. Red Envelopes | Closed to He Rows currently 20 and younger

It's not quite the right time of the year, but it feels right. Feels right in a way that has Tae in quite the specific mood. Sure it takes her some time to find the resources she needs amid all of the crafts (and the light begging of the Agrii, claiming she's making decorations), but she does manage it. There was a pointed lack of ink and brushes and other things, so she'd just have to live with what she could manage though.

But with the work done there she was moving through Noth, hands tucked away into the pockets of her new/old coat. And, whenever she sees someone young she lifts a hand free and waves them over.

"Come here, I've got a gift for you."

III. Equipment Envy

Of course Tae found the Medical Wing of the Agrii ship almost immediately after they had access to the ship. Where else was a doctor going to end up? And oh the noise she makes when she walks in and sees it. Anyone happening to be present might think the woman needs to consider being appropriate where minors might show up.

"Who do I have to bribe to just steal all of this?" she asks as she looks into the surgical suite.

And then there's the diagnosis beds. Tae's hands roll over one and she looks like she wants to take it home and wrap it up in blankets and say sweet nothings to it.

"Stealing things is wrong," Tae mumbles to herself under her breath. Dammit. She has to keep back from this. But she wants it so much.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

His standard fingerless gloves aren't doing much for the cold so Donnie's tucked his hands deep into his coat's pockets as he trudges through the snow. Maybe it's not as cold as it was in Temba when he'd first arrived there, but snow is still best enjoyed in small quantities and with plenty of warmth to counter it.

Which is why he's out, hoping to find something equivalent to hot chocolate to bring back to his cabin-thing. If not, well. There's some kind of candy coins there. Maybe he can just melt those down. What a pain, just to get a hot drink!

"Huh?" Tae's call pulls him out of his inner grumblings, and he wanders over. "Hey, what's up?"

Right. This one is young enough. Tae reaches into her pocket and pulls out one of her red envelopes.

"I wish to give you something. I'm not sure if it's early or not, but it's as close as I think I'm going to calculate to the lunar new year. Here."

Someone had to make sure the kids got their lucky envelopes for the year.

Donnie blinks. "I wouldn't even know where to begin calculating from, which would be the real problem... Oh wait, I've read about this."

He takes the envelope, turning it in hand. "Traditionally it's filled with money or something, right?" Which he normally wouldn't argue but currency is kind of pointless here.

"Yes, but we don't have money," she notes. So that wasn't really the option here. Instead there is a piece of paper in it.

'Tae owes me 1 replicator usage'.

There are terms and conditions on the bottom, including how she can only redeem a maximum of two for any person each month so nothing will be instant. But hey, gift anyway.

"Noted. So then what- oh."

Donnie looks at the coupon with a faint smile. "Well, I guess that works. Cool." Who's he to turn down an extra replication?

"Thanks, Tae."

Tae offers him a soft smile. He's still a kid.

"You're welcome," she says. "You'll probably need the little bit of luck and fortune to draw more to you in the new year."

"Uh, sure. Yeah. Luck, huh." Donnie doesn't really buy into that sort of thing, so very unscientific. He's not all too sure what good anything'd do anyway, when he's still been stuck here, still made no progress in fixing anything that they were meant to.

Don't worry, she doesn't mind if he doesn't believe in it. This is just something she just needed to do.

"Don't knock it until you're certain it doesn't exist."

He gives her a puzzled look and an unsure nod as he tucks the envelope into a pocket. Yeah, okay, whatever lady. Thanks for the freebie though!

"If you see any other kids, tell them I'm looking for them."

Because gifts matter.

"Oh yeah, sure thing," Donnie says, even as he tries to think of how many other kids there might be around here. That weren't Agrii, probably. The list had been dwindling dramatically.

He gives a distracted wave as he wanders off, trying not to get too depressed remembering who all wasn't there anymore.

Of course she wasn't going to give them to the Agrii, they clearly didn't need them. But she waves too and starts off to continue her search.
