These are completely acceptable. Who wants to climb down every time they need to get out of bed?

 Hell yeah, you've got a roommate and future friend! You celebrate by writing your names on the door and heading into your new room. It's small, has a bunkbed and two desks, and two foot lockers. It looks a lot like your old training barracks, honestly, so eh. Whatever. You turn around and grin at Midge. "Well? Better than jail?"  "Prison."
They toss their coat onto one of the desk and narrow their eyes at you. "You still don't get it, do you? Haven't you noticed somethin' about this 'team' they pulled together? I'll even give you a hint. You ever seen Harlow or the mamar in whatever trainin' you army folks have?"
"Nnnnnno?" "And you and your pals? You been out in the field before? Sparky there seems pretty fresh, too."
UHHHH. I mean, you haven't been on any official missions, and, yeah, Cinnabar's uniform looks like the ones the Navroyan army corp of demolition engineers wear, but hey. That means he can probably blow stuff up or something. To be honest, you're not positive what those guys do, but the word 'demolition' is in there, so you're pretty sure that has something to do with it. You know Lina's in the same boat as you since she's your rival, which means you've kept close track of her and her progress over the years. Hmm. Hmmmmm. Now that you think about it, have you noticed something? |

Are you gonna say it's a suicide mission too? I've head that already, and I don't really buy it. It probably just pays horribly, and has awful conditions, and has a high turnover rate that leaves them desperate for new hires. ANY new hires. I've worked fast food before (or the equivalent in this world-build), so that's really nothing new.

So what's Macy's specialty anyway?

 “I mean, if you’re gunna say this is a suicide mission or something, then, whatever. I’m pretty sure you’re wrong. There’s supposed to be like, a ton of nerds here, too. The bosses love sucking up to nerds, they wouldn’t throw them under the bus that easy. I bet they sent them up with most of the supplies we need earlier this week.”  Midge gives you an unimpressed look. Seems like they are unconvinced.  “Listen, I get it. You want to be all skeptical and cold, but? Like? I came into this job knowing it has poor working conditions, low pay, and a high turnover rate that has the bosses desperate for new hires. Kind of par for the course, right? Trust me, I've done fast food before joining the army. It's just the norm."  Midge sighs and turns their attention to the beds. It doesn’t seem like you’ll get much more out of them tonight. You decide that’s fine for now and get ready to sleep. You’re not sure what it is about car rides, but they always make you sleepy.  “Well, Midgey, my friend, it looks like this is goodnight.” There is a snort from the top bunk as you pull up the covers and shut your eyes. --  You get up after Midge the next day, go through your morning routines, and end up in the main sitting room. There are two women present, one with a cup of tea and the other with a book. These must be some of the nerds! You straighten up and raise your voice.  “Hey, what’s up?”  “My name is Macy and I’m here to keep folks safe!” |

 “Nice to meet you, Macy. I go by Ana and I am here to research the behaviors of the cermaute in their native environment. My roommate and companion is Nari, and she is here to retrieve old research data from a previous adventure up in this direction.”
 Sounds pretty cool. You’re not positive what all of it meant, but hey. You’re not sure that’s important right now. “Got it, got it. So, what are you two doing out here? Aren’t there like, you know, labs or something?” "There is one main lab we are all sharing during this year, yes. It is more geared towards those with scientific research as opposed to anthropological ones like myself. I was actually coming back from the kitchen to do some desk organizing in our room."
"Ohhhh, ok. But, I mean? You didn't make it all the way back?"  “Well, as I was heading back, I noticed one of the other guards heading into the showers with just a towel on.”
 Holy shit, that’s not what you expected this fancy lady to say! Also, you forgot that not everyone is used to communal showers, this is a day full of discoveries. “So, you’re waiting for him to come out?” “I mean, yeah, Mace, we may as well enjoy the view. Not like he’s getting changed or anything. This is all just part of getting to know the rest of the team.”
Oh no. Oh no, that voice! It’s Lina herself, here to interrupt your amazing morning with her pretty red hair and extra inches on you.  “So, whaddaya say? You want to hang out with us for a bit while we wait for Cinnabar to show up again?”
 You're torn. On the one hand, you both want to see wet-and-in-a-towel Cinnabar as well as seeing however the fuck Ana will react to him. On the other hand, you were going to get something to eat and also, Lina is here and fuck Lina. |

Ech, frick Lina. Let's just go get food. Also it feels a bit weird to ogle someone getting out of the shower with three other people.

 "Nah, no thanks. I'm not here to objectify mostly naked men right out of the shower."  "Woah, is that a moral compass I'm detecting? Pretty cool look for you." |

 "Ha! Thanks, I am pretty cool. So how come you're being a weirdo about this?"  "Good question. It's mostly because of Cinn. I was hoping I'd run into him since I learned he was getting shipped up here. Wanted to make sure he had a decent roommate. The whole shower thing is just a funny bonus. My prediction issss, he will do that thing where he tries keeping up a conversation if someone starts it, no matter what the situation. Pretty sure it's like, some messed up carry-over from being a rich kid."
"Wait, wait, ok, what? How do you know Cinnabar already? I wanted to talk about the most important stuff first, but, what the fuck?"  "I was in basic with him before madam fireball grabbed him for her special unit. It was like, a month before we met, Mace. He staying with someone good who won't, I dunno, bully him or anything?"
