" There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade,
and now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all,
and here i rest where disappointment and regret collide --
-- lying awake at night."[/center]
quite the joke to you ,
[/color][/font][/center]"so, hon. welcome to the distorted world.
what's your name?"
"Maqui Carrasco. Just call me Maqui! ... and you are?"
"ey, that's pretty cute. how old are you, and where are ya affiliated?"
"My birthday’s on April 2nd, and I’m seventeen years old. I’m from Cocoon.”
"young'un, are you? well then, i can deal. so... how bout you and me go on a date?"
"Wow, you move fast! I’m not gonna turn you down – you’re kinda cute – but I’m gonna hold out on dating at the moment. Other things on my mind.”
"aaand.. what is your specialization?"
"I’m uh, kind of a kid. Nobody in NORA likes to let me fight at all, so I guess I’m kinda the healer. I don’t know how to do any magic though. I can shoot a gun, but that’s about it.”
"cool, cool. i guess youre a little talented filly? i like 'em like that."
"Hey! You might be cute, but that’s a little too far! And probably illegal. "
kissed me in your room ,
[/color][/font][/center]"and on to the second section! how tall are you, exactly?"
"I’m five foot two.”
"ah, just three inches taller. hm. so, what's under your clothes? not that i wont find out for myself."
"This jacket is kinda heavy, isn’t it... Lebreau always tells me I need to eat more, so I guess that means I’m thin. I’m not muscle-y – I don’t work out as I kind of stay on the technical end of stuff- hey! What do you mean, ‘not that you won’t find out for yourself?’ I thought I told you no."
"okay, sorry. let's talk about some.. non - crude things? what's your personal style?"
"Good. You’re starting to creep me out a little... If you can’t tell, the clothes I like are kind of a mix of snowboarder culture and techie culture. I love this jacket ‘cause it’s indestructible, and these pants fit best with my tool belt, but they’re replaceable. Nobody touches my babies though. –fingers headphones-“
"hey, you look like that celebrity... what was the name...?"
"I’ve never been told that before! Uh, I think you’re thinking of me."
"right! i remember now. you look just like them. except better, heh heh..."
"Um..."
replied i love you too ,
[/color][/font][/center]
"soo, do you like or dislike anything?"
"I like tacos, the beach, and my friends. I don’t like being scared or useless, or parts that don’t work right."
"ohmyjonas, me too! wow, thats such a coincidence. so have any dirty habits or secrets?"
"Um. I have a habit of wearing my goggles and headphones, and I guess my secret is that I’m not as stupid as I act."
"coolness, yo. umm. home dawg. anyways. describe yourself."
"Well, Lebreau and Gadot in particular tell me I’m what happens when sugar has coffee, if that’s enough of a picture for you. I’m a mechanic for Team NORA and Snow is my idol. I don’t like to fight that much, but I do have a few ideals that I’ll stand up for."
"like dude! we're so compatible..."
"...Whatever you say..."
a little bit insecure ,
[/color][/font][/center]"okay, let's rush through this. i'm thinking dancing? then, we can talk about rooms."
"Heheheh... I don't dance. So that's a no all the way around."
"shh, if my boss knew about our secret romance... so. what's your heritage?"
"My parents died when I was little, in a car crash. Snow's raised me ever since and you could kinda call Team NORA my family."
"wow, your family would love me! have anyone else in your family?"
"They probably would. They love anybody. Nobody else, unless you count Snow's extended family - his fiancee's sister and her 'family'."
"oh. sounds horrible. haha. anything else important happen in your life?"
"Nothing really major. Even if my parents hadn't died, they would have ended up getting divorced and neither of them wanted me, so I would have ended up in a foster home. So nothing's really changed, heheh, except that I get to stay in Bodhum.
When Snow got branded a l'Cie, Team NORA was suspected to be l'Cie sympathizers. We had to lay low for a while, get the authorities off our backs, you know? That's about it for my exciting life though."
"hey, look! we're done. so, i would ask you on a second date, but i'm about to explode. no, really. please step back."
"... Stepping back."

As usual, Maqui was tinkering with something. This time, it wasn't Snow's motorbike in need of tuning up; in fact, the item he currently had a screwdriver wedged into wasn't related to the self-proclaimed hero at all. Trying to pry the back case off to insulate the wiring (the device had a tendency to get rather warm when in use), a screw was clamped tight in his teeth as he narrowed his eyes at the synthetic plastic case.
"What do you want, Yuj?" he muttered around said small bolt, finally deciding it wasn't worth the effort and letting it drop into his hand to place on the bar's countertop, cautious of it rolling off and disappearing into the nethers beyond the cracks in the floor.
--
The heavy thump of Yuj's forehead colliding with the wood jostled the screw out of its equilibrium, though Maqui didn't notice until it'd nearly reached the edge of the bar - swearing under his breath, he jolted forward to catch hold of it just as it overbalanced, landing safely in his hand. "Watch it when I'm working! I almost lost that." The bolt found a cozy home in his pocket for now, as he shook his head at his companion. "Just working on a little toy. Found this baby in the dumpster the other day, and it's almost good as new!" Okay, sure, maybe glowing with excitement wasn't the right way to go about this, but it was pretty cool to find military equipment in near-mint condition just sitting in the trash. Not that Yuj would care anyway.
Speaking of...
"Why are you still here anyway?"
--
He didn't want to know why Yuj was interested, but it was a change of pace nonetheless. He might be the goof most of the time, but when he worked it was serious business. "It's a biorhythmic monitor." Maqui picked up the handheld device and pointed to its backlit screen. "It's useful 'cause it detects the biorhythms of enemies in the area, so Snow can use it to take care of strays before the army
does." Yuj was acting suspicious though - Maqui must have forgotten something again. Really, it was to be expected. The kid wasn't too good with dates or whatever. "Yuj, what day is it today?"
