Yesterday my neck itched something fierce, and naturally I scratched like hell with my long nails. Well apparently I'd developed a rash. Later when I went to the bathroom, I looked in the mirror and saw what could be mistaken for a hickey. Probably the first time I'm thankful for having to wear masks.

Needles don't bother me. I mean, maybe cause I've gone through a bit. All 4 wisdoms removed, some teeth pulled in the process of getting braces. Four eye surgeries, the most recent one being in 2012. I've donated blood numerous times and being in the military, I had to get a crazy number of shots. That penicillin shot though... Sweet baby Jesus.

The woman was getting her belongings together, not that there was much to begin with. She had a couple of gadgets she always carried around, but compatibility wise it was a guessing game when it came to foreign worlds. Hell, she might be as useless as a glass hammer out there, who knew. Beatrice kept her attire simple, taking into consideration whom they were meeting. Her clothes were the opposite of eccentric as she opted for a gray blouse and slacks. Her messenger bag, which she carries around more often than not, was a pale shade of blue. Overall, possibly an eye sore for the individual with an interest in fashion. But Beatrice wasn't out to impress anyone, certainly not by wardrobe anyway.

The ride to the meeting place had been uneventful, save for the occasional comment which made Beatrice raise an eyebrow. She remained relatively quiet, not feeling all that comfortable to spew what was on her mind just yet. But she perked up when the buildings came into view. They were...unique, for lack of a better word. Beatrice watched on as they went, trying to intake the numerous detailed designs. It was quite the sight, at least for her. Something about intricacies of architecture which always drew her attention.

Upon their arrival, Beatrice grew a tiny bit apprehensive, despite being perfectly fine for the entirety of the trip. The crew had also voiced the same concerns, although that was to be expected given their situation. But Beatrice was armed, and one couldn't tell form simply glancing over at her.

Once inside the property, Beatrice noticed it was pretty isolated. Though that didn't last long as they were prompted to go through one of the doors. Curiosity clinged to her, and Beatrice wasn't disappointed once she finally laid eyes on the Holy Vei. She was equal parts fantastic as well as menacing. Such was her effect on Beatrice that the woman almost didn't register her words when she spoke. The question threw her off, but then it was Francesca who went ahead and addressed her on their behalf, with permission of course.

At that point, Beatrice didn't know what to expect next.

My friend and I were chatting earlier tonight and suddenly he pulls a southern accent on me and I was obviously amused so he kept going and now I'm attracted to southern accents.

Now I'm watching TWD because I never did before and I'm very much enjoying the beginning for obvious reasons.

My mother once corrected me on the lyrics for a reggaeton song I was singing along to.

Alright lady, stick to your Christian playlist and don't show me up like that anymore. 😐

I don't think I'm dying my hair again. I cut a lot of it yesterday because the colored ends were fried.

As of lately I've been obsessing over Charlie Puth's voice. That man can sing!

Not too long into her adventure, Beatrice came across a member of the ship, one that made quite the initial impression on her. He stood tall, towering well above her. To anyone witnessing such scene, their encounter may seem almost comical due to such contrasting heights. But going beyond appearances, she was addressed in a rather polite manner. Not that she was expecting any sort of hostility to begin with. When inquired about her whereabouts, Beatrice introduced herself with her name and position, even going as far as showing her orders assigning her to the Prize. Such action wasn't required, but it was merely a formality she was used to whenever arriving somewhere new. Once that was over, Beatrice voiced her concern. She honestly had no idea where she was going, although in hindsight she could have very easily pulled up the ship's blueprints as such data would not have taken more than mere seconds to be accessible through her pad. Oh well, could have should have. At least now she had met a crew member and she wouldn't be a complete stranger to them anymore. Beatrice was not a fan of being the "newbie", for lack of a better term. But after all was said and done, she had been shown where her quarters was located. She was beyond thankful for the help, and she made sure to express her appreciation with her own kind words in return.

Once alone, it didn't take long for Beatrice to get comfortable. Without a doubt that moment had been the best part of her day. Second best would probably be whenever she got some food in her system, but that would be addressed later on. Beatrice had some work to do as well; the thought in the back of her mind kept nagging at her as if she were one to forget things easily. That would be true in some instances, but not all that likely with work. The very next thing to do was set up shop, which honestly wasn't much to begin with, and she could link up to the ship's system.

The jump through the wormhole jolted Beatrice in her chair. She tensed up momentarily before relaxing again. Regardless of the number of boring trainings she'd sat through, the woman could never not react.

Later on, when they were all gathered, Beatrice sat quietly listening to the briefing. She was looking forward to getting off the ship and exploring whatever technology this planet had. The challenge in figuring out alien tech was one of the reasons Beatrice enjoyed doing her job, and even though she was eager to get moving, she listened to some ideas the others were discussing. The had good points, though given her position her routine would consist of accompanying Carabello and whoever else would join out there in order to meet this Holy Vei. But her business couldn't be rushed either. She would have to wait until some form of understanding was reached before even thinking about bringing up any sort of talk regarding their level of technology.

"Captain, if I may, I'd like to join you. If nothing more, it'd give me a chance to take a look at what these individuals are working with."

For Beatrice, it seemed a bit odd to refer to Carabello by rank. They'd been good friends in the academy, always joking about one of them ending up working for the other, and now their back-and-forth had become reality. Their relationship was on good terms when they both had to go their own separate route for work, and whenever they had some free time, Beatrice planned to pick up where they'd left off, or somewhat close to it at least.

I recently updated my personal information for my alumni profile. Now I'm debating whether I should contact the university to have them change my name on my master's degree as I graduated while married but have since gone back to my maiden name.
