Inside my brain, I, too, have fire.

Characters: Gene Khan, Jackie Ma, Miles Upshur, Aly Haskell, and y'all
Date: throughout May
Location: Aifaran and environs
Situation: May the 4th be with you...?
Warnings/Rating: Will be added as necessary

[A] | Gene | throughout Aifaran | throughout May | open
Emboldened by his and Tony's talk about employment, Gene's looking at places to set up shop. He wants somewhere in a reasonably high-traffic area, but he also wants to be realistic. They only have so much money, after all. The first priority was finding Tony somewhere to set up his mechanic/repair shop; the second would be finding a space to start a dojo again. Gene had liked teaching, and seemed to be pretty good at it. If he talked to Bakura and Valdis, maybe the three of them could pool their money and get a decent-sized building in a decent location.

He's in a better mood these days. He can also be found sitting in a teahouse or the cafeteria in the Dreaming Bridge with some tea, taking notes, sketching out potential floor plans for Tony's shop, and the dojo, and the potential place that he and Tony will live once they make more money. He wants to rebuild something like the house they used to have, even though he knows that'll take a while.

[B] | Jackie | the Golden Koi | throughout May | open
Jackie has scrimped and saved his rhinn and managed to get a loan for his business. What's he doing, you ask? Why, restarting his bar from back in Ye Olden Keeliai Days, the Golden Koi! It's small - he wasn't able to get a big loan - but he's doing his best! Come and say hello! (And please buy a drink, he needs to get in the black.)

[C] | Miles | throughout Aifaran | throughout May | open
There's a bit of a spring in Miles' step these days, and his camcorder's in his hand more often than in its holster. He's a journalist again! Freelance, as usual, but that doesn't matter. It's the life he's used to, and at least now he doesn't have to keep eating the local equivalent of Hot Pockets. Sure, he's still in the Dreaming Bridge, but now he can at least start saving some money. Just a little.

He's filming some B-roll throughout the city, and not necessarily looking where he's going since he's occasionally walking backwards. He might bump into you, he might not. (He may also bump into a wall, or a lamppost. His peripheral vision's a bit lacking when he's focused on his camcorder.)

Either way: Smile! You're on candid camera.

[D] | Aly | outside Aifaran | throughout May | open
There's an odd creature outside the city. Well - odder than the creatures already here. It's not native, to be sure. An Earth-native might recognize it as a maned wolf, but...hello, there's something different about it. It's got two spiraling gazelle horns coming out of its head.

And it's stalking some completely oblivious bibiru.

[E] | Aly | throughout Aifaran | throughout May | open
Aly's learned her lesson about parkour for now. Doesn't mean she doesn't go up on the rooftops every so often, especially at night. She likes to lie down and see the stars. They're strange here, but no stranger than they are Otherside, on the rare times she's been able to see them. The bubble they're in shines like the aurora borealis sometimes, and that makes her eyes water (she's not crying).

At other times, she's trying to be normal. She's trying to calm her anger down, and sometimes it even works. It's frowned upon to walk around obviously armed, but some days she takes her copper-headed mace with her, its iron core a deterrent to any faeries. You never could tell around here. She never, ever leaves her belt and its pouch behind, though. The antler knife inside it hurts a little to be near, and hurts worse for her to hold, but she won't risk being without it. It's death and blood, but it's necessary. And she works on sharpening it from time to time; not to harm anyone here, but for what she needs to do when she returns.

[F] | Miles | throughout Aifaran | early May | open | Faith 2
Splash!

"Aw, come on!" Some giggling kedan children dash away, leaving a thoroughly-soaked Miles behind. He checks his ever-present camcorder; good thing it's waterproof. "Why's everyone ganging up on me?" He's normally not averse to a good water balloon fight, but this is getting ridiculous. Mostly because he's completely unarmed. And because he's found out that the more he's getting hit, the more spiritually unclean people seem to think he is. Okay, that's fair, I guess. The Walrider was all science, but given its former worship, he and it could probably stand to be doused in holy water. Just...maybe on his own terms, for once?

[G] | Miles | a local bar | May 4 | closed to Kit
The beer-equivalent here does not taste like Pabst, which is a win in Miles' book. He has a rule against that. Sure, it's bright pink, but that's kind of cool. He's secure enough in his masculinity to drink pink beer. Especially because it actually tastes good.

"So, verdict on this stuff?"
