Summary
So. It’s a little fun. The way the keys click when Lina presses down on them is satisfying. She finds that the space bar is the most fun to tap, again and again and again, and when the bar gets all the way to the right, she slides it cleanly back over, the way she does in class. Miss Stryfe is an interesting lady, serious yet fun, friendly if occasionally awkward—and Lina likes her. Well, respects her. She has a bombastic temper and doesn’t let men disrespect her, which Lina likes too. She’d like to know more about Miss Stryfe… and it’s kind of fun to sit here tapping away at the keys, imagining that it’s Miss Stryfe here instead, working on whatever it is she types up using this old thing.
That is, until the space bar comes flying clean off. Lina barely manages to suppress a yelp, both hands clapping over her mouth—but before she can do any more than scoop up the bar off the carpet, she hears footsteps approaching the door, then the handle turning.
---
Lina gets caught by one of her new roommates, Meryl Stryfe, while taking a peek at her typewriter.

Summary
“Yeah, I know.” Vash shoots her a toothy grin as he lets his big chunky camera hang around his neck, hands on his hips. “But what’s the point of a cool title like that if you aren’t ever going by it?”
Meryl really wouldn’t be able to tell you. It wasn’t like she chose to be called that—or Woman in White, or Derringer Meryl—but that’s what tends to happen when you’re alive for long enough. You collect titles. It’s definitely not the worst thing Vash could be calling her, which is why she doesn’t have very many objections to it… but that doesn’t make it less annoying, either.
“Did you come out here for target practice?” Meryl asks, glancing Vash’s way. “Or were you just looking to annoy me?”
“Oh, no ma’am, you know me,” Vash says, putting his hands up. “Firmly in the annoying camp. I wouldn’t even know how to use a gun if you handed it to me.”

Vash interrupts Meryl during her regular target practice.
