Allie (Al)'s Links
I swear one minute I was talking about airplanes and the next minute I was roped into some sort of espionage thing. Beryl is convinced that I'm some sort of super poison waiting to snap, and that eventually I'll put aside my "little flying fantasies" and focus on "real work". But when she's not borderline conspiratorial, she has some neat aviation facts to share, which is probably why were's still friends.
She's useful, though her naivety will come back to bite her. She acts like she's dedicated to her craft out of pure passion, without seeking money, power, or status, but I know the truth. She's not as innocent as she seems. She's practically a toxic.
She has a casual attitude toward bonding, which I'm not going to judge her for, but it does seem strange to me. She's so clingy when she is in a relationship, so I would expect her to get attached easily. She brings out parts of myself that I'm not as open about, though she seems to be in on Beryl's conspiracy that I'm secretly some super poison, which is not what I mean by "brings out parts of myself I'm not open about."
She's got a nice set of electrons; thirteen is supposed to be unlucky but I lucked out with her. She's actually eager to bond with me, though she seems a bit to friendly when the act is over. I don't think she sees this relationship as casual like I do. Also, I know from personal experience that everyone that bubbly is hiding something dark, yet I can't pry it out of her.
MAYA! She's so cool and calm and she's so good at talking to people without boring or confusing them. She helps me advocate for myself, helps be stronger, helps me with training, just helps me. She's so effortlessly amazing that I think it's a superpower. We can just talk and talk and talk and talk and she never gets bored of me. We can fly for hours and go looking for cool rocks and try to bake without Natalia yelling at us. We can play video games and mod them with Sigrid while Gabby calls us fake gamers. We're just two bundles of chaos and it's awesome.
Allie's my best friend, and for good reason! She's so cheerful, and energetic, and she has a childlike sense of wonder for everything around her. She helps me be more flexible, to adopt different perspectives. We can open up to each other like with no one else.
Octavia’s so fiery and passionate and cheerful and she’s just so…uh, she’s so friendly and hot, like literally hot, but also metaphorical hot, I mean, what am I saying? I mean she’s like super cute and…get a hold of yourself, Allie!
Is she okay? She’s stumbling over more than just her feet…
