Bring on your forces of nature | July Catchall
Characters: Pepper Potts, Devin Parker, and you!
Date: July
Location: Around Aifaran
Situation: Pepper has an inan stalker and is learning new skills. Devin is, to no one's surprise, brooding.
Warnings/Rating: None yet, will add as needed.
A. [Pepper] Faith 2 | Early July | Open
"Ow!" Pepper yelps loudly when an inan she was attempting to make friends with nearly takes a chunk out of her finger. The bite doesn't actually break skin, but it hurts, and she gets up to leave since clearly it doesn't want company.Bring on the storm that's raging
It follows her. All attempts to shoo it off fail, and if Pepper didn't know any better she would think it was giving her the stink eye. For an entire week. She'd be more grumpy about the resulting inability to do magic if it weren't so cute, and it seems slightly less annoyed with her when she allows it into the townhouse (after consulting with Bakura, of course, and checking to see how it got along with Diabound).
B. [Pepper] Opara Core | Mid July | Open
So, Tony's gone. He might be back. Pepper hopes he'll be back, and not just for Gene's sake. It's weird having him gone after almost three years in this world together, and it was weird enough not living in the same house. Being worlds away is taking some adjustment for everyone.
Gene can, probably, do repairs on Pepper's armor even if Tony never returns, but there's something to be said for learning to do it herself. Aifaran has more tech and more metal than Keeliai did, and so she's at the Opara Core to pester some techs into either teaching her how to do electrical engineering or direct her to a place she can. She's got one of the Rescue gauntlets in hand as she walks around the facility to use as an example.
C. [Devin] Dreaming Bridge | Backdated to June | Zephyr
The conversation with X is… tense, to say the least. Devin isn't expecting the reactions he gets and is even less equipped to deal with them. He's consequently even more haggard-looking when he emerges from X's room at the Bridge than when he entered, and he almost startles when he sees Zephyr still standing there. The distraction of helping X sort through his life was enough to make him forget the impromptu guard.
His eyes narrow. "How much has X told you?" Devin asks without preamble.
D. [Devin] Commerce 5 | Early July | Open
In pursuit of a sword that would serve him better than the beater he's been practicing with, Devin is investigating a number of shops where good-quality weapons can be found. He needs one that won't break on him once he's in better form.
He stops dead in the street when he sees his old pattern sword on display in a blacksmith's window. It takes him several minutes to grapple with the feelings it brings up, and then to go inside and explain it belongs to him - and when asked how much it costs, the owner smiles at him and hands it over for free. Swords know their masters, is all she says, offering a warm smile. Devin departs a few minutes later, staring down at the remnant of his past like it might crumble in his hands. Drawing it a few inches from the scabbard reveals it is still in perfect condition. It should be in England, but it's found him here.
E. [Devin] Arts 2 | Mid July | Open
As part of his general avoidance strategy, Devin is taking to mapping out the city again. The habit is one he's kept up in Aifaran but he hasn't engaged in it so intensely since he first arrived. For some reason, this seems like a good time to vanish into far-flung streets and investigate not only the ground level but the three-dimensional details that could be pertinent in case of attack. He needs to learn the city like the back of his hand, and for a solid week whenever he's not in the library or sleeping, he's out sketching and notating important bits of information he might need. If Devin is out at night, he'll also be carrying the pattern sword that appeared earlier in the month.
F. [Bobby] Dreaming Bridge | X
Bobby is still looking for alternate accommodations so she can escape the necessity of a roommate, but for the moment she is stuck here. At least it's better than some of the crappy motels she'd spent time in during her last tour of Earth, and the roommate is easy enough to scare into leaving her alone. Most of the time she's at the Bridge, she's in one of the lounges reading about the archipelago, sitting in one of the squashy armchairs as though it were a throne.

"Because I am, by some standards. Undead or deathless are two terms that are often used for my kind," he answered, and his grip on the hilt remained relaxed. It wasn't the first time he'd had a weapon drawn on him, not by far. "I'm what's called a vampire."
no subject
His aura became a bit unfriendlier with that statement. This Two Cane certainly didn't have the same appearance as any of the devils, but he wouldn't put it past them to find out how to shapeshift.
no subject
He eyed Konoe's sword. It would not do well to get into a fight in the street over a misunderstanding. "I'm assuming you've had bad experiences with devils in your world?"
