It depends largely on where my latest op takes place. If I enjoy a place enough, I will stay for a short while and take in the culture of the region. Sometimes you just need to step away from all the action. There have been times when I have forgotten what birds or children playing sounds like, which only makes it all the more beautiful when I finally hear it again. It is not uncommon for me to take a leave of absence for a few days and blow the sum of a contract on a well needed vacation.
Otherwise, there are other methods I use to pass the time. I used to enjoy taking pencil sketches of locations or people I have met... Though I stopped doing it as frequently when I noticed the images I would depict became more and more macabre. Flipping through my sketchbook you begin to see a change from drawings of stray dogs our a raised flag to insect ridden skulls and smashed drones.
Then there are times when I just hit the wall. Instead of trying to keep active or make some constructive I will slip into a maddening slump were I will simply sit in my quarters and pass countless hours watching pay-per-view programming while dipping into a supply of crash that I only use on gloomy days. I once fell so far that I resorted to only eating biofoam and nutrient gel for a whole week while I just laid on my couch and blasted Kaijuya from my sound system. (Their old stuff, not the new garbage.)
The only way I ever get out of that slump is if I apply myself to doing some R&D project to take my mind off the world. I will buy up a skillbook and download it before spending nearly countless hours trying to build a better VTOL or dropsuit fitting until I am satisfied. Even when these late-night experiments fail my flight crew (though trying they may be at times) are always there to cheer me up with a series of dirty jokes and anecdotes.
Of course, if that doesn't work then Shoashu Sasaanko is always my station away from home. I will fight in a few Slayer matches to get my spark back, then see a good friend of mine who owns a cabaret there. She always sorts me out. The Guristas there treat me like family, and I am always happy to see them. |

Occasionally I'll exercise, just to keep this body in shape, while once in a while I'll take a shuttle to see the family or see the Doc's. It's also fun to check out the news feeds for what those roaming Space Bastards are up to, along with any idiocies the four Empires are perpetrating. Of course, there's also the occasional suit tweak and budgeting for the month.
Oh, and I write in my diary. A lot.
Wait a minute... You're that merc who has been posting her diary online!
Honored to meet someone so well-to-do I suppose. |

They're...not very good paintings. For some reason I use a lot of red in big, smearing strokes. What comes out on the canvas is always quite abstract and yet always seems so familiar... I like paintings, I would love to see some of your artwork too.
Ugh... Denak, I don't think you... I mean.....
*sigh*.
Never mind. I am sure her paintings are lovely. |

Sounds to me like you all have a bad case of 514.
If you catch my drift. |

Oh, the irony.
Pleasure to meet you Aztec. I'm part Intaki as well, though I can understand why you couldn't see it. I pass for full Caldari well enough I suppose. |
