(There's no avoiding any of this, no matter how hard Mikasa tries. There are greater concerns on her mind, but if she's going to be stuck here, then at least she can volunteer as security in case something goes wrong. No sign of titans, thankfully; no one here needs those following her to this planet. She'll be distant, arms folded and blades sheathed at her side, but mostly quiet. Try as she might to keep herself in isolation, it won't last for long.
The music blasting from the performance is...cheerful. Moreso than what she's used to. People on the street are dancing to it, enjoying it and each other. If nothing else, it was a welcome change to the despair of fearing titans and pastors on the street preaching about the end of days. It was peaceful, something she could enjoy. She catches herself swaying to the rhythm of the music a few times and stops herself, but the opportunity to unwind is hard to ignore.
Same for the need to eat. Octopus is new to her; last she checked, the ocean was pretty much a myth and anything beyond your standard fish was pretty unknown. Still, it wasn't bad. Odd, for sure, especially with all of the tentacles everywhere. The chocolate fondue fountain is...interesting to look at. And also completely new to her! Can you blame her for wanting to try it? Or how trying it seems to draw her attention to your character?)
Here. Let me escort you...
Day 2 – B
(The idea was to get people to safety, not be someone who needed to be saved! In her haste, Mikasa finds herself too exposed to the pollen and, by severing a vine aimed for someone else, finds herself cutting through a flower and being struck with that pollen. It doesn't get in her eyes directly, though they do turn white in response. The people targeted escape safely, but before the soldier can leave, she falls to her knees, keeping herself steady with her swords planted into the ground with a shaky grip. She tries to force herself back up, but finds herself breathless and tired. It's hard to move, but she has to keep going...
...She could use a little help here.)
Day 3 - ⚔
(Now this she can do. Day 3 goes a lot better for her, now that she's experienced what the plant can do firsthand. Grappling hooks jut out towards the side of a building and the sound of zipping can be heard, along with a ferocious slash that completely severs a tentacle. Through her maneuvering gear, Mikasa can be seen roaming through the city with remarkable agility, swinging between buildings and cutting down bits of the plant with acute precision.
Another clean cut leaks sap out of the tentacle as it flops to the ground, giving her a moment to touch back onto the ground and firmly shake the substance off of her blades.)
It was no accident that my gear came with me, was it...?
