The space was dark and cramped; the only light coming from a single laptop screen as videos of YouTube tutorials played across it. Sitting in front of the screen sat a petite figure, dressed in a loose black tank-top with the image of a cartoon-ish white skull printed on the front of it and a pair of very short black shorts. A pair of goggles sat perched up on her head and a lit cigarette hung between her lips as her green eyes were pinned to the screen in front of her. Finally, after several moments of still silence, she huffed and brushed some of her sandy-blonde, almost shoulder-length hair out of her face.
“Useless.” She muttered, pulling her goggles back down over her eyes and pushing her rolling chair over to a nearby work station with her foot. On the station there sat several projects of various sizes and shapes, most looking unfinished or unrecognizable. As she grabbed a welding torch with one hand, the other reached out for a nearby cup of coffee. Unfortunately for her, it wasn't until she'd already taken a gulp, cigarette still pinched in the corner of her mouth, that she came to realize the coffee was quite old. She immediately spit the cold, bitter liquid onto the floor, losing her cigarette in the process.
“Fuck!” She shouted angrily, wiping at her mouth with her arm and nearly dropping her welding torch as a result.
Putting the tool back down, she stood up and marched with her cup past the piles of junk and scrap metal that littered the space around her, climbing a rickety set of wooden stairs and throwing open the door. The daylight from outside the windows nearly made her stumble back as she uttered another string of curses, shielding her face as she headed into a nearby kitchen and splashed the remaining coffee into the sink with a growl. A set of fluffy, blonde cat ears and a bushy cat tail bristled in agitation as she turned on the water in the sink, slurping up some to try and rinse the awful taste out of her mouth. She wasn't certain what time it was, or even what day it was, but either way her mood wasn't in the best of places at the moment.
