Characters: Gene Khan, Jackie Ma, Miles Upshur, Aly Haskell, and y'all
Date: throughout April
Location: Aifaran and environs
Situation: Standard mucking about. Jackie's depressed, Gene's paranoid, Aly's got half a death wish, and Miles is driving local priests away! So, a normal Tuesday for these nerds.
Warnings/Rating: Will be added as necessary
[A] | Gene | throughout Aifaran | throughout April | open
Gene's finally gotten over being shy - shy! Rare, for him - and is out and about in Aifaran. He's still worried that Nick Fury is going to pop in from nowhere and haul him off to a SHIELD cell, but it's just as likely that he'll pop back to Earth.
Earth. Not home. It'd be a disturbing distinction if he hadn't come to terms with Konryu being more of a home to him than Earth had ever been long ago.
First point of order, rank the teahouses. Things have changed in the past five hundred-some years, so of course he has to stake out the best places forbrooding thinking. With the best tea.
Second point of order, get...eh...friendly with some of the other Dreamfolk. The locals, he's been able to connect with easily. His fellow Dreamfolk, though...not so much. It's a personal failing, and he knows that, but it's one he's working to correct. So...A for effort? He seems to look like he knows what he's doing, at least; he certainly looks at home in Aifaran, more so than one might expect.
[B] | Jackie | throughout Aifaran | throughout April | open
Despite the heartbreak of having Brigid back for such a short time and losing her again, Jackie has to keep going. He's lost her before, and this is just...it's his life now. He could wake up any day to find anyone else he knows gone, and he knows that at any moment he could 'no longer dream in Aifaran' - or, to put it more bluntly, disappear back to being a strung-up disemboweled corpse in North Point.
The Dreaming's anchored him in Konryu for a while, but he knows that may not last forever.
He takes a lot of time to speak to shopkeeps and make himself known throughout the city, because he's trying to get the Golden Koi started again. Another iteration of the bar he'd started in Keeliai, named after the restaurant that had always been a safe place to him back in North Point. A little piece of home, one that he'll hold onto as best he can.
He might be walking alone, but he's certainly not averse to company. He's friendly enough with the denizens of Aifaran, and he's stopping at many of the local cafes and teahouses throughout the month, making friends and potential future business partners.
[C] | Miles | throughout Aifaran | throughout April | open [Faith 2]
Oh, boy. Miles is getting pretty p.o.'ed about getting cornered by a Sabonile priest, but since these guys haven't tried to kill him (yet), he's not going to hit the guy. And just as the guy's really beginning to spin up, he stops and gives Miles a strange, apologetic look, declares that he can't preach what he doesn't believe in, and just. Leaves...?
Fine by Miles, but that's a new one on him. Maybe he has a new anti-religious aura. That'd be cool. "What the fuck just happened?" he mumbles to nobody in particular.
[D] | Aly | look up. no, further up. there. the rooftops. | throughout April | open
In an attempt to get her frustrated energy out, Aly has taken to the skies! Or as much as she can, anyway. She can't fly, as much as she's tried, but she's pretty agile. She's running around day and night like a little ruffian who thinks she's Batman. Watch the skies for a blur! Or watch your head, because sometimes she doesn't look too well where she's landing.
[E] | Aly | down by the piers | April 7 | closed to Devin
Aly's agile, but even the most agile runners miss a step.
And so it happens.
Unfortunately for her, she misjudges distance - again! - over a gap between buildings. And especially unfortunately for her, it's a gap over water.
Her stomach and heart seem to fall faster than the rest of her, and a choked squawk tears itself from her throat as she tumbles. Everything else she could deal with, broken bones she could take, death she could deal with again, but water? No!
There were two ways to kill a Flame: Suffocation, and drowning. And she doesn't want to drown.
This time, there's no Princeps to give her a gentle push to the other side with some mastery of air, and she hits the water like a stone.
[F] | Jackie | the Dreaming Bridge | April 6 | closed to Valdis
Jackie's been doing his best to keep it together, but after he makes the announcement over the Lae (he'd phrased it as a question, but he knew in his heart that it was really an announcement), he needs to go somewhere quiet. He finds a little-trafficked lounge in the Breakwater wing and sits down, his head in his hands. He can't go back to his room, because Chase may be there and ask what's wrong, and he doesn't want to explain.
There's pretty much one person here in Aifaran who's familiar enough to him, unless she leaves, too, and he'll be all on his own again. He'll need to go find her. He doesn't like the idea of being entirely alone again; it had been bad enough when they'd thought only a year would pass. Here, everything was so different, he feared that he'd give in to his old habits and patterns and turn back to crime, because it was easier.
I'm not that guy anymore. He hoped not.

"So, are you a chaos guy or a hard-truths guy?"
no subject
Then he stops and thinks about it, and reluctantly has to add, "a little bit of both, though. You can't really stop chaos from happening when you tell people what they don't want to hear. You might as well try to enjoy it a little."
None of this answers the question of why the priest left without converting anyone, but it doesn't seem like either of them have the means to answer it, so X tries to put the question down instead.
no subject
"Doesn't really help when it's bad chaos, though. Like the run-for-your-life kind."
no subject
Also when you're running from the right people. And to the right places, for the right reasons. All of which, X has to admit, is something of a luxury when danger occurs randomly.
Suddenly, he looks sheepish. "Sorry," he says, glancing over with a faint smile. "I didn't mean to barge in without even introducing myself. I'm X."
no subject
"I'm Miles," he said. He wasn't going to comment on X's name, because he's honestly known people with weirder. Besides - he's plenty weird enough. Asking about someone's name would be some level of hypocritical.
no subject
It's still surreal, actually, saying his name without the other person recoiling in some combination of fright and disgust. Even more surreal is how Miles doesn't even ask. X is a little more used to that than he was -- evidently, no one in Aifaran likes to pry -- but it still takes him a few seconds to reorient himself.
"So," he goes on, "I take it you're not usually a fan of the Sabonile priests?"
