Characters: Gene, Jackie, Miles, Aly, and yoooouuuu!
Date: Februrururururuary
Location: Throughout Aifaran
Situation: So, this is new.
Warnings/Rating: Will be added as necessary! Also, stupidity, probably.
A. [Gene] | throughout Aifaran | early February | open
Adjusting back to somewhere he's not actively being hunted is harder than Gene would like to admit. Almost the exact length of time spent in Aifaran as he'd spent at home, and he's still looking over his shoulder and tensing at sudden noises. He'd gone back to face the music, after all, and SHIELD had come to collect.
God, but he hates this. He hates that so little time spent back there has made him so paranoid about a world that he'd called home, mere weeks ago, the only place he'd genuinely called home since he was a child. The Sentry actively trying to recruit him doesn't help, either. He'd been with the Police Department back in Keeliai, but law enforcement had hunted him back in his own world.
The viral attention he's gotten on Xa Xa with the few photos he's posted has been uncomfortable. But at the same time...it's nice to be recognized for something benign. Here, nobody cares who he is, what he's done. Maybe he can start acting like it.
(Maybe some fun selfies with Tony and Pepper will help.)
And Kalliel is here, but he can't talk to the turtle he'd once protected, and that hurts, too. Sometimes he goes out and sits down on the shell, staring out at the sea.
I'm here.
Do you know that I'm here?
I didn't want to leave you.
I'm sorry.
B. [Jackie] | Aisling Tower | early February | open
Jackie's a little flummoxed by the invitation extended to him to visit the Aisling Tower, but he accepts. He'd chosen to stay, after all, and he'd had some experience with the Dreaming besides. Especially back in the days of Mali--
--he still can barely even think the name.
Still, he wants to be as helpful as he can. This place has given him everything. A second chance at life.
C. [Miles] | throughout Aifaran | throughout February | open
Journalism! Journalism with film! With cameras!!! Miles is so happy he could burst. Finally, finally, his niche is here. Time to get his ass a job!
And to walk around filming absolutely everything, so he is bound to trip over something and/or someone. And/or barrel into someone. It's a risk he must take. Ah, the price we pay for knowledge.
Additionally - later in the month - Miles is invited to a political event. And they want his Opinions on things. Even if they're blunt. 'Miles Upshur' may as well be a synonym for 'blunt', and his Opinions are probably not going to be welcome. Probably because they begin with 'eat the rich'.
D. [Aly] | throughout Aifaran | throughout February | Kaito
Crash.
"Oh, for--!" Aly bends down to pick up the glass she'd dropped, mumbling to herself about being an idiot. Then, the mark on her wrist glows and the glass pieces form back together.
"Uh. Uh!" She raises her voice. "Guys! I did a thing!"
E. [Aly] | throughout Aifaran | throughout February | open
"Look, I didn't do it!"
Aly is extremely huffy about this. She wouldn't dare destroy a spirit house! "I know how spirits are, okay! I wouldn't risk angering them!"
She takes a deep breath and looks at the offended kedan. "If you want...I can rebuild it for you. Or I can help. I dunno. That's...kinda what I do?" She rolls up her sleeve to show off the Restoration mark on her left wrist.
F. [Aly] | the Dreaming Bridge | February 2 | Devin
For once - for once - Aly is nervous. She'd admitted to wanting advice, from Devin of all people, and that stung, but, well...apparently he'd ended up in a situation that might await her, if things went wrong in the best way possible. And anyway, his advice would help. Doesn't mean she has to like it, though.
G. [Miles] | a cafe in Aifaran | February 1 | Pepper
Well, at least tea is the same, even if nothing else is.
Aifaran is more like New York than Keeliai had been, though smaller - a larger city than Keeliai, more bustling, filled with more people and more types of people. It's almost like being in a sci-fi movie. (Not like he doesn't practically already live in one, anyway.) Or that one show he can't remember the name of.
And at least Pepper is here - Pepper, who he'd menaced when the Red Mist had been in his system during the cultist attack, who'd talked him down, who understood. He'd made progress back home. He was pretty sure she'd be interested to hear about it.
H. [Jackie] | a restaurant in Aifaran | February 5 | Brigid
He's overjoyed to have her back. She's different, but still Brigid, and Jackie honestly hadn't thought he'd ever see her again. He'd braced himself for losing her. He'd accepted it. He'd lost Jiu Mei, and that had been his fault. He'd lost Brigid, too. But now she was back, and that was cause for celebration.
He'd found the one set of nice clothes he'd been able to take through his Dreaming stasis, and knocks on her door, grinning like a fool. She's back. She's really back.

"I was minding my own business, right, when the spirit house just fell off and broke! I tried to catch it, but everyone ran outside to see and when they saw me with my hands all over the broken spirit house...it's not a good look."
To put it mildly. Caught red-handed...well, red-handed trying to fix something, which isn't usually her modus operandi.
no subject
Which was to say, she raised a skeptical eyebrow.
"Things don't just fall off for no reason. If you're attempting to defend yourself after being caught-red-handed...you're going to have to do a better job than that."

"Oh, it's not to me you'd have to explain yourself. Alas, this is one area in which I currently hold no jurisdiction. Consider it a bit of friendly advice from one lovely lady to another for the future."
no subject
"Currently? You a cop?" Well, well. "Back where you're from, I mean."
no subject
Her posture straightened with all the confidence of one who truly understood her role in the world.
"Before my untimely kidnapping--" (That was her choice of phrasing, and she was sticking to it.) "--I was employed as the Head Security Guard of several locations. Usually in relation to the television industry. Ah, it was a glorious place to be back in the day, before all that murder nonsense--"
Her eyes did appear to sparkle for an instant as flashes of said 'back in the day' appeared before her. Memories that were still near and dear to her heart.
"--so while I am not a member of the local police department--although, if you ask me, that is perhaps a blessing on my part, with the way they seem to incompetently run that place nowadays--I do typically hold a degree of authority over the locations I am assigned to protect and secure. There are even certain lower-ranking official officers who would have to go through me before being granted access to a set or highly-restricted area. For secrecy purposes, of course."
By Oldbag's standards, her speech was surprisingly slow and precise in both diction and tone. But it was also worth noting that she did not appear to pause for breath once during the majority of her monologue.
no subject
Yeah, 'to protect and serve' wasn't exactly her watchword. Her watchword was screaming and setting things on fire.
"So why not join the police - uh, Sentry? Right? - and try and make it better?"
no subject
"It is a possibility I have considered. Though I am abhorred by the thought of attempting to regain employment when my old job suited me just fine...I recognize that I cannot continue as I am now with depleting funds and a certain number of personal necessities."
