Cells At Work appreciation week

It’s late, I know, but I wanted to post it anyway.

Day 7 :OC 

Here he is! My boy LO- 2557

Reimi gestures in between her and the creature, stuttering. “You- you’re- mer-”

He laughs softly, and Reimi finds her cheeks heating up. “Yes, I’m a mermaid. My name is Iishiro.” He says, and she nods.

“My name is R-Reimi,” she replies, walking farther into the water.

or,

It’s late, I know, but I wanted to post it anyway.

An OC, for the final day of CAW Appreciation week. This is Adipocyte, aka an actual fat cell, hard at work storing energy for the body. (Specifically she’s a white fat cell - I learned doing research for this picture that there are two kinds of fat, ‘white fat’ and ‘brown fat’ that generates heat. If I have time later I’ll draw a brown fat cell too.)

I was sad that I missed most of cawappreciationweek due to being busy and college…so to make it up I decided to make this piece integrating some of the missed days plus the one of today.

Sooooo

CAW APPRECIATION WEEK DAY 6: AU

AE3803 was a young Neutrophil, and she was damned good at her job, if you ignore her moments of clumsiness. The only real problem was that she had a tendency to get lost. Thankfully, Transmigration made getting around fairly straightforward, but even so, she was prone to getting turned around.

“Again, AE3803?” a senior Neutrophil sighed. “The lungs are in the opposite direction.”

“Thank you!” AE3803 called as she squeezed between two tissues.

Then her transceiver went off. “Well that’s not good! Where’s the germ!”

“Watch out!” She turned at the cry and a red blood cell with his hair covering one eye crashed a large black sphere into her. “Oof!” AE3803 grunted as she faceplanted.

“I apologize!” the brown haired cells called, rushing out from behind the item, “I’m very sorry, Are you alright, White Blood Cell?”

“I’m fine, it’s quite alright,” she grinned sheepishly as she rubbed her head, then caught sight of the item in question. “No wonder you ran into me, that’s a pretty unwieldy delivery you’re making.”

“I’m sorry for running you over, White Blood Cell,” the Red Blood Cell, U-1146, from the tag on his hat, said, “I was just coming off the slope and I couldn’t see past the pill.”

“No harm done!” the receptor went off again. “Oh No! The germ!” AE3803 leapt to her feet and ran in the general direction she’d seen other immune cells running for.

U-1146 remembers the day in the bone marrow very clearly. He’s never forgotten how, in the heat of the moment, he’d managed to get lost while being chased by the Neutrophil teacher. He’s never figured out how it had happened, not even Miss Macrophage had ever figured it out, but that day all those years ago… After encountering a bacteria, a myelocyte appeared and stood between him and the bacteria armed with only a training knife. The Neutrophil teacher had arrived and saved them both, and as he grew up into a Red Blood Cell, every time he saw a female White Blood Cell run by, he wondered if she was out there, still fighting bravely through her tears like she had as a Myelocyte. Or maybe she had outgrown her tears.
