DOUBLE THUMBS UP

Natasha will be given a standard wristcom that allows for two-way audio communication on a couple of secured, but not private, channels. She'll be assigned to the same R&D Lab as York and Symmetra, although not necessarily always on the same shifts. She'll be mostly helping with instrument/equipment maintenance, cleaning and calibration, plus assisting in various types of grunt work. Her badge clearance only gets her in as far as the main lab area.

In arts training, she'd learn the basics (the "basics" are still pretty complicated) about fashion and social protocol -- there are several levels of formality of dress which are appropriate for different occasions, and it is pretty tacky to show up in the wrong level of formality. Like all Cetagandan art, fashion is a combination of a number of factors: formality, season, type of event or just everyday wear, not only the colors of the layers themselves but how they complement each other, as well as their patterns and type of fabric, and the type of fragrance one wears. These are all tied into one another -- for instance, you may mistakenly wear a scent that clashes with the formality level of your dress -- and there's a lot of nuance and apparent cultural intuition that guides it.

Natasha now has the perks Training: Arts I, Lab Tech, and Coms Access.

Let me know specifically what you'd like to thread out! We can certainly get an NPC thread going.
