Just Dina

Professionally, Dina has not worked enough with Doc to have formed a thorough opinion of how he conducts himself when things are particularly dangerous, or serious.

Casually, Doc is Dina's best friend in Taihaku. He's a loud, annoying, violent drug addict - and Dina would have it no other way.

Overall, there are few other people Dina would trust explicitly to keep an eye on her in the urban gangland.

He was your brother. In the last few days, you didn't see much of him. You lament that could not ever say goodbye.

Professionally, Dina has no experience with Dominic beyond a couple of deals that they've made involving money and an exchange of goods. He doesn't try to haggle excessively, nor short change her, which has left a positive first impression.

However, having only done one job with him has left her with a fair first impression. Dom is a rough and tough rider, and she would prefer not to get on his bad side.

Casually, Dina has not spent much time with him and does not know him as much more than Doc's friend.

One of your best friends. He always had your back, and you've always done your best to look out for him.

Having never worked closely with Raul, Dina cannot speak much to his competency nor his work ethic. She knows that his disposition is inclined towards a certain collective, one which she is not a part of. She figures that him and his sort are above her, and as such, does not endeavor to interfere with whatever they have going for themselves.

Casually, Raul is kind to Dina and has never endeavored to do her harm or be particularly unpleasant. They exchange greetings often, but have never had any form of intimate conversation. She knows nothing about him, and is of the impression that he has no desire to get to know her on account of his lack of social probing.

Of late, Dina has spent a lot more time with Raul, though only casually. She has thoroughly enjoyed their conversations and time spent together, and counts Raul among her select group of friends.

You think that you would be angry, knowing where you've ended up. As fate would have it, in the cold ground, you don't feel much of anything at all. He was one of your best friends, and you let him down. In your vain attempts to keep him from harm, it cost you your life.

On a professional Basis, Dina respects Arkady's slick work ethic and his business practices. She would like to work more with him, but is prey to feeling the same way she feels about Raul, believing that she is beneath him. As such, she does not reach out to inquire as much as she might like to.

On the flipside, in every day life, Dina speaks with him often and has even entertained a couple of conversations about one-another. She would like to learn more about Janus.

His trust in you is spoiled, like crumpled paper that's been tried to be made neat again. It's flat on the table, but there are creases that you'll never iron out no matter how hard you try. You don't cry in front of very many people, but he didn't seem to mind too terribly. You're ashamed of how he looks at you, and that kills you a little bit more every time you think about it.

Professionally, Tasker has always been a fairly private man, in the workplace especially. This has left Dina never being particularly close to her boss up until a recent endeavor of theirs, and a reconnection on the streets of the combat zone that is Taihaku. Despite this, she appreciates his work ethic and the effort he puts forth into everything that he does.

The two connect well socially, and Dina finds that Dalton is both kind and caring to those whom he calls friends. She is pleased to be associated with his social circle, for both his company and the company of his other companions.

Pleasantries both social and professional aside, Dina is suspicious of him, for some of the company he keeps and the methods he employs. She believes that she has only just begun to scratch the surface of his puzzle.

He left you, in his own flight of fancy, with naught but a hollow shell that burns a hole in the pit of your stomach every time you think about it. It's not him anymore. He's rotting in the ground, and he's left you to pick up the pieces.

For as much trouble as you gave him for leaving without a goodbye, perhaps there is some kind of irony that you did the very same thing you hated him for.

Arturo is the one who has opted to take Dina under his wing and brought her into Core-Tek initially, teaching her the intricacies of exoskeletons, cars, and things in between. When problems arose with Kordell, it was Arturo who covered for her and helped the young lady stay on her feet.

Casually, Dina admires Arturo for his affinity with machinery, and for his pleasant demeanor. She would like to spend more time learning from him, as well as learning about him.

A tazer to the ribs was enough for him to falter. You swear you'll give it back double, and then some.

For all his faults, you didn't have it in you. For all that hate in your heart, you let him have the day in the hopes that some day, someone might do the same for you. You might not deserve it, but he sure does.

Dina has worked with Lillian and has come to hold a mixed opinion of her in a professional regard. She's reckless at times and cooperatives at others. Her newfound job has already cost her a couple of bridges.

Casually however, Dina finds Lillian quite amiable. The two get along well and she is pleased that the other finds her as enjoyable as she does. Though they have not shared anything especially profound, the connection and the potential for such is there nevertheless.

You hope that your death will reach her, and perhaps be what talks her out of diving headlong out of that ivory tower for good. You want more for her. She was your sister, even if you were often vexed by her. Make it count, kid.

Having worked with Mason and seen the dedication put forth towards his fellow crew members as well as his affinity for what he does, there are few other people Dina would rather work with after going through the crucible that was the ASF bank job.

Casually, Dina has held many conversations with Mason, building and eventually climaxing into one of her deeper, unsuspecting friendships. Many seem privy to calling Mason a turncoat, a charlatan, a scumbag; To Dina he's just friend, and his leaving has left a void that will take a while to fill back up again.

She left him with her only vase of real roses.

He came back. There were so many things you wanted to do with him, so many things that you wanted to see by his side. You thought that you would fight side-by-side forever, but life has a way of throwing a wrench into every machine you deign to build for yourself. Maybe it's karma, or maybe the bitch in black has finally just caught up with you.

He was your best friend, and you died staring him right in the face.

Another member of the Mason Gang, Dina admires Miron's ability to listen, improvise and work quickly on his feet in even the most tense of situations. She trusts him implicitly, and would do almost anything for him.

With the other crew members, namely Raul and Mason leaving, Dina is likely to turn to Miron in the hopes of keeping in touch - both casually and professionally until they return. His reaction to Mason's departure has left Dina with the impression that Miron is far more human than he lets on, which she does not classify as a bad thing.

You could never tell Miron how much you loved him in the end. You tried, but life stopped you; He had more important things to do, and you weren't one of them.
