notrocketscienceDarrow is a scientific marvel. At least that much she can appreciate. So much of it doesn't make sense, but it only makes Raven want to learn more, to hunt and dig until she can work out its secrets. This is what she's good at, but every time she thinks she might start to understand, all the answers slip away from her again. She misses Sinclair; she knows that she'd be able to debate the logistics with him long into the night, but for now she's on her own.
Her first day here the hospital had given her crutches to use, but Raven couldn't stand the crutches she'd had on the Ground, and she doesn't feel any better about it now. Instead, she spent her first week gathering all the supplies she would need to build a new brace. Parts are a lot easier to come by here than they were on the Ground, thankfully, and she's confident that this time around the finished product is a better model than anything her or Wick had built previously. She wants to rub it in his face, but Wick isn't here, so she has to settle with the small personal triumph of knowing she did a good job.
With it buckled around her leg to support the dead weight and the mechanics of it letting her walk, she feels much better. It's never going to be perfect, and she knows she's always going to be more slow going than she used to be, but she can deal with that. It makes getting around Darrow a whole lot easier, which is a relief, because she was starting to go stir crazy in her apartment. Bellamy and Clarke had been over often enough to check on her, but she's itching to go out and see what this world is like, this world that the War hasn't affected, that isn't filled with people trying to kill her.
Her first steps out the door are tentative, curious but wary, but eventually she gets herself in stride. For the most part, people either smile or don't pay attention at all when she walks past them, which is worlds away from Mountain Men and their drills or Grounders and their spears. For most of the day she's just trying to get her bearings, learning the layout of the city and drinking in everything around her. Eventually, she comes across a garage, and Raven pauses.
She's conscious of the fact that buying everything to build the brace had left her funds a little low, but more than that, she needs something to do. If she's going to be stuck here she needs to be working, to feel useful, otherwise she'll lose her mind. They don't have Zero-G mechanics here, but maybe she can get a job as a regular mechanic. She'd be interested to work with the machinery here, older than what she's used to and different to what they had on the Ark. Determined, Raven lifts her chin and walks inside.
[ooc: raven's been in the city a couple of weeks now and she's now able to be up and around. Find her anywhere in the city that you like, or find her heading into West's Garage]
