Naomi woke up extra alert in the morning and quickly got dressed so she could get something to eat and get to work. Deciding to wear her red short sleeve shirt, khaki shorts and red boots with her hair in a ponytail seemed like a good decision along with her red rose earrings. Naomi grabbed some fried egg, octopi sausage and seasoned rice balls for breakfast from a street vendor so she wouldn't have to face Nori or Ms. Francine that morning.
After grabbing her breakfast, Naomi ate at work in the break room before sitting at her desk and getting to work.
"Well you're here early." Zeno noticed.
"Had a rough night so I didn't get ta sleep much." Naomi lied.
"What happened?" Zeno wondered.
"That's for me ta know and you ta never find out." Naomi stated.
Just then, Gunvolt and Arson walked in.
"Hey GV, how was your day yesterday?" Naomi greeted.
"It was fine. How about you?" Gunvolt answered.
"Eh, just watched a movie with some buddies a mine. So it was cool I guess." Naomi commented.
"So, do you have any plans later Naomi?" Arson queried.
"Yup, nothin but me and a couple a turrets. My pals need em for some project." Naomi assured.
"And you plan on getting those, how exactly?" Arson pondered.
"From fightin a course." Naomi smirked.
"They sound heavy, you want some help carrying them?" Arson added.
"Nah, I'm good, I'll just teleport em." Naomi assured.
"If you change your mind, you know where I am." Arson added.
Naomi nodded and turned to look at Zeno while rolling her eyes.
"I know, he's even worse than Viper. GV told me what he said about Joule." Zeno snarled.
"Tell me bout it. He keeps houndin me bout his ex. If I killed er cause I wanted ta be with him and shit. And he has the nerve ta ask me if I wanna be with 'im after askin a million flippin times for him ta leave me the heck alone. Even after I killed his girlfriend." Naomi rambled bitterly.
"What was the movie about?" Zeno questioned.
"Some patient in a hospital was biting other patients and turnin em inta zombies. Then a nurse finds out it's a patient in a wheelchair. In the end a it, the nurse and zombie fall in love I think. I dunno, one a my pals elbowed me on accident and my Azure Striker went off. The theater blacked out. I didn't even mean ta do that." Naomi elucidated.
"It coulda been instinctual and your brain just instantly did that." Zeno theorized.
"You wanna hang and play some games later?" Naomi asked.
"Sure, we can play that new game I got." Zeno grinned.
"Can I join you guys?" Arson hoped.
"Sorry man, all I got is two player or single player games." Zeno apologized.
"Oh." Arson sighed with his head down as he walked away.
"Thanks a ton man, I don't know what I woulda done if I had ta see 'im unnecessarily." Naomi grinned.
"I dunno bout how you'd feel but all I know is I'd definitely be feelin awkward." Zeno commented.
"Are ya sure I ain't botherin ya? I don't wanna play those games with ya if you're busy." Naomi worried.
"It's cool, I got nothin ta do other than weapon maintinence." Zeno confirmed.
"Ah shoot, I completely forgot about that." Naomi remembered.
"I got some new oil that's supposed ta give ya a quicker and cleaner shot." Zeno notified.
"Sweet." Naomi smiled.
