Almost done.

[Why, yes, that is Namine with a black Sharpie marker. Looks like she found something to write/draw with, but really, is the wall between the staircase entrance and elevator on the fourth deck a good place for that? It's not even a very nice drawing, just a big frowny face from the look of it.

She seems pretty intent on her work, though. Normally, she tries to take everything on the SoL in stride, but having her movement restricted AND one of her main coping mechanisms taken away seems to be taking its toll. To the point at which she's given up using even subtle methods of protest/fighting back.

Finished, she looks up and finally seems to notice she's live on Cambot. Apparently she hadn't meant to make this public.]

Cambot! I thought I said no recording.

[She reaches to turn him off, but he floats away. Time for a rare Namine scowl. Anyone who looks closely, though, might notice that her hair has some blond tint to it, and her eyes are a pale, pale blue.]

[It's a relief not only to see that Roxas is getting some color back, but also that he's not particularly upset by this little outburst. Really, she's just had enough.]

They are, but...

[ But she knows it's unusual behavior for her, so she'd hoped to avoid the broadcast. She didn't want to worry anyone or make them mad.]

[Upset? Never. If anything, he thinks the walls have been needing some decorating for a long time.]

You know, it's a hunch, but it looks like acting out and not taking this crap anymore is what's starting to bring some color back.

[It is a little unusual, but he can't really blame her.]

[colorbymemory]

[They did need some decoration, but something a little better than this would have been preferable.]

Really? How would you guess...

[Then she makes the connection. He and Zidane had gotten some color back when they'd started protesting. Now she was.]

You might be right.

[thirteenth_brat]

[Maybe, but they're not exactly in a position to be picky at the moment. Perhaps something better can be done once they get the art supplies back.]

Watching Zidane over Cambot, I could see the color coming back a bit, starting with his tail.

[colorbymemory]

[When they get the art supplies back, she'll probably paint over the frowny faces with something better, yes.]

I saw that, too.
