Odessa “Red” Van Acker

Oh shit.. I guess I never got to think about that, I never really had the chance since I was essentially forcefully formed into a “human weapon” at age 13… I always did have a fascination with knives I guess.

I would’ve loved to be a teacher, but instead of like, knives and guns, maybe like… English? History? Maybe even a choreographer haha…

Hey! Uh- girly. *strikes a pose?* how’s it… hangin? Chat?

olivia (off to the side): “Don’t do that.”

…. hi

(youre beautiful btw <3)

Oh my god, thank you!

Well, I kinda have this weird relationship with Medic, he reminds me a lot of a dad that I never knew or got the chance to know. He was kind of the first person that forced me to not be a jackass and ask for help when I needed it, he also feels some guilt towards my previous… situation… because he was aware of the facility, even if he couldn’t technically do anything about it. But I’m really happy he’s in my life.

Olivia, or you guys might know her as “Pyro” is someone I consider the closest thing I could get to a sister. She and I had this weird camaraderie in the beginning, considering I was the only other person who knew she was a girl, and so having that trust given to me kind of opened me up to a world of connection that I never knew was possible. She’s great, I love her.

And obviously I have to like Jeremy considering we’ve been dating for however the fuck long it’s been now. However, he’s honestly the only reason I’m still around, I would’ve bolted years ago if not for him giving me reasons to stay, which then turned me into staying around for myself rather than others, it’s been a funky healing journey, but I’m glad he’s around for it and as been the best thing that’s every happened to me.

Spy and I kind of have this weird understanding of each other. I know how to speak French since my mom was Belgian and taught me alongside English, so we have that commonality. And I’m banging his son * tilts hand “so-so” * and that’s a rabbit hole I don’t want to dive into, but we respect each other and that’s enough.

I don’t have any opinion on Soldier except that he’s way too loud at 5 am. Same thing with Demo. They can be loud, but just *waves away* in another room.

Heavy is quiet. I like quiet. We talk about books a lot, but he’s great just to sit and exist around.

Dell is so funny, and I like how he’s always around to help get down and fix problems, even if most of the problems were caused by my boyfriend, but let’s not get into that one. Great guy!

Sniper doesn’t talk to me. He doesn’t talk much in general. He and Olivia have something going on, I dunno what that’s about. But she seems to trust him, and since I trust her, there’s that small arm I’m reaching out to him. Which is really out of character for me, but hey what can I say, I’m a changed woman *leans back in chair with arms behind her head, immediately stops doing that*

Ew that was so Scout of me, gross.

*folds her hands back on the table*

Oh! Pauling is great. We both hate incompetence so that’s really wonderful.

But yeah, thanks for the compliment again, you didn’t have to say that. *curt and lightly embarrassed*

(Off to the side)

(Scout) : “NOPE TRY DAT AGAIN.”

I mean, thank you. I really appreciate that, that was really sweet of you!

Hello. It’s Red.

As reluctant as I typically am to answer questions, I feel like doing so could help me kind of, chill out? Maybe become less wary? I don’t know. You’re free to ask me whatever, I’ll answer to (the best) of my ability.
