I blame the Nintendo 64 for brutalism.
Characters: Gene Khan, Miles Upshur, Aly Haskell, Kai, and y'all
Date: throughout February
Location: Aifaran and environs
Situation: Why does February feel like one big Tuesday?
Warnings/Rating: Will be added as they arise
[A] | Gene | Xin de Kaishi Dojo | early February, prior to To the Waters and the Wild | open
The dojo's been doing well - better than Gene expected, really. He's got some regular customers and new people poking their heads in regularly, at least to try it out. Unfortunately, he's a little short-staffed, and it's starting to show. He's running himself ragged to the point where his students are landing hits on him more than usual.
When a Castian apologizes profusely for knocking him to the ground, he gets to his feet and congratulates her. "That's fantastic, Chel. Now see if you can get that consistently. You're getting good at spotting openings."
[B] | Gene | the apartment | February 14 | closed to Tony
Valentine's Day had never been a thing in Konryu; the closest was Tine's Commemoration, which luckily fell over the Earth holiday. Gene had never been one for sappy declarations of love, since his emotions were usually locked down tighter than Fort Knox, but he was willing to show it a little more than usual around Tony, and more than that on Valentine's Day.
The dojo is closed today, so he's spent a few hours cooking and making sure everything is shipshape (tidying Tony's mess, mostly, because WHO LEAVES SHIRTS ON THE FLOOR?!Miles. When Tony gets back from the mechanic shop, everything is almost done.
"Hi," Gene says, and gives him a kiss on the cheek.
[C] | Gene | a park | early February | closed to Pepper
Gene had talked to Valdis about kaa, and the only other person left who could help him is Pepper. He's done a lot of thinking about what Valdis had told him, and he'd begun to accept that she was right. Hard pills to swallow, washed down with a bitter brew.
He's sitting on a bench, eyes closed, trying to calm himself to a sort of meditative state. He wouldn't be able to summon Tolui if his mind was full of chaos.
[D] | Miles | the docks | prior to To the Waters and the Wild | open
There's a lot going on lately, and Miles has made his way down to the docks to do a little bit of reconnaissance on the three odd ships that have docked. Naturally, he has his camera, and is filming everything he can, hoping to go over the footage later for anything interesting or anomalies. If he's not filming, he's sitting on the ground - far away from the water - taking notes and interviewing anyone who may have information on it. He'll confront the woman who emerged from the ship later, but he's doing his own investigation for now.
[E] | Aly | the streets | mid-February | open
There's a certain degree of calm to Aly lately. She's been helping with the cleanup and restoration, but she knows that it's time to go home and see her self-appointed mission through. She knows that she can't do that entirely, but she's heard that she can go meditate at one of the turtles' heads. Meditation comes easy for her when she can calm herself down enough to clear her mind, and she's been practicing. She doesn't want to get agitated and fall out of the Dreaming in the middle of what she has to do.
She's preoccupied, walking around with a thoughtful look on her face, and might not hear if you call her name, and might even walk into you. She thinks better on her feet, but maybe she should just pace in her room instead of doing it in public.
[F] | Kai | a park | after To the Waters and the Wild | open
Kai is thrilled to be done with that fishy form, and as a result she's been running everywhere, glad to have the use of her legs. And the ability to transform again, of course.
"Woohoo!" She's running through one of the parks, shooting the ground with ink, and diving into it as a squid, jumping in and out of it to shoot more ink on the ground so she can cruise around. She's having the time of her life.

"It sure seems to be that way," Miles says, returning his attention to the ships. "I haven't been able to get any information out of anyone about it. Maybe I'll try and ask that lady who came off of that one ship."
If Miles has an actual description for Nita I can edit the Melias tag. |D
Nita asks as if she doesn't know - and there's no such thing as an unquestionable assumption for her anyway.
"Just the one lady?" Now she's curious for another reason.
"What does she look like?'
no subject
He nods at her question. "Only one I've heard about, anyway. Haven't cornered her for an interview yet, so I've got no clue what she looks like. I mean, as far as I've heard she's a kedan, so a physical description may not be much help. They're shapeshifters," he clarifies.
no subject
As for the rest... a shapeshifter; that would be important to note!
"Maybe she's chatted up with you already, and avoided introducing herself?" Nita pointed out.
It wouldn't be the first time something like that had happened, in her experience.
no subject
no subject
Making a mental note, there!
"Think that explains the ships too, or that it's more on the 'magic' side of things?"
Or the 'sufficiently advanced x is indistinguishable from y' option; always a good one!
no subject
"If we were still in the old place, I'd say it's probably magic-dependent. Here, though? Five hundred years on? Who really knows. My guess is 'tech'."
no subject
Read: put one down to claim the other as superior, which wasn't really good for anyone.
"But that's here in Aifaran; not sure what the case might be in the place Melias brought these from."
no subject
no subject
"Kind of relatable, there."
Though, was there a chance of someone from the Enterprise turning up here? Even her own conception of the multiverse thus far had some holes...
"And yeah, same for me. Wonder if these ships would take any questions?"
Yes, Miles, the ships themselves.
no subject
"I haven't tried sticking a microphone in their faces yet," Miles says. "Although, wait, do they have faces?"
no subject
"Don't need to, I think; these aren't those kinds of living ships."
TUGS hadn't been part of her childhood, but she'd seen screencaps.
"And they'd probably prefer something more subtle, anyway. Doubt they're used to the spotlight."
