Date/Timing: 12 January 2015
Setting: Jaeger Academy; Kodiak, USA
Inspired by this Tumblr post
.
Janna and Mimmi, sore-legged and bleary-eyed from their first PPDC 'workout', plod into the gymnasium doing service as an assembly room.
”You'd think that instructor was trying to out-Finn us,” gripes Janna.
”I thought we were in better shape,” admits Mimmi.
Janna scoffs, ”I think she's just pissed she can't get a Jaeger.”
”I dare you to say that to her—”
Two dark-skinned beauties—sisters, most likely—stride toward them, every movement as fluid as if they were well-oiled machines.
””Mimmi?””
Mimmi's heart outpaces her feet.
””Earth to Mimmi~!””
The sister on the left is lovely—
””Oh god, you're doing it again, aren't you?””
Janna and Mimmi draw abreast of the sisters.
—but—
Mimmi's head swivels to follow them.
—the one on the right is—
/THONK
—really—
/CLATTER CLAtter clatter
—hard?
/bink
Mimmi's flat on her back and buried under orange ... thingies.
””Mimmi?””
Mimmi's ears ring a bit.
Orange thingies go away and Janna peers down. ”What happened?”
”She's really pretty,” slurs Mimmi.
Slurs?
Well. 
Shit.
”You're not okay. Stay put.”
Mimmi gives thumbs up.
”Seriously. Stay put.”
Mimmi gives thumbs up.
Janna goes away.
Mimmi watches the ceiling.
The tiles aren't /nearly as pretty as the sisters.
Janna and the nurse from Intake peer down.
"I'm Nurse Tremblay," says the nurse. "Lieutenant Rautio says you took a bit of a bump to the head."
”Is that what happened?”
The nurse looks to Janna, confused.
That was Finnish.
Oops.
"That's what happened," sighs Janna. "She walked /straight into the kayaks. Then she fell down. And then they fell on her."
/That's what the orange thingies were.
"Oh my. Let's get a look at your eyes, then, Lieutenant."
Bright light.
/Very bright light.
"That looks okay."
”I can't be-/lieve you, Mimmi.”
More bright light.
"That looks good, too."
”Pretty girls walk past and you nearly break your neck.”
"Let's try sitting."
Mimmi gives thumbs up.
Janna and the nurse help ease Mimmi upright.
They swirl.
Swirl?
Shit.
"Ooookay. You're concussed. Let me get a wheelchair. Don't move."
The nurse goes away.
”Did you hear that? You broke your /head this time.”
”It was worth it,” croaks Mimmi.
Then she throws up again.
