Are you a dark chicken god or a light chicken god? | open, with starters

Who: Gene, Jackie, Deon, Peridiot Peridot, and YOU!
What: April Shenananananananananabananigans
When: Throughout April
Where: Keeliai and the surrounding environs, and Tavimbi
Warnings: dumb AH references. Will update as necessary.

A. [Gene] throughout Keeliai | early April | open
Of late, Gene has carried himself with his usual poise and grace, despite the fact that he's harboring a dead lady and is preparing to delve into the politics of Keeliai properly. But this is nothing new for him, really - it was revisiting his early days of taking up the mantle of Mandarin in a twisted way, running the Tong, keeping Stark in the dungeon, brokering peace with the Maggia (or trying to).

But he thinks he likes the Keeliai version a lot better.

He's being more social among the kedan than usual, frequenting teahouses, visiting artisans, dropping by the College. More flies with honey than with vinegar, after all.

B. [Jackie] Water Sector | early April | open
Jackie's been doing a lot of procurement for his bar. And wouldn't you know it - setting up a bar is a lot of work! He'd known that Mrs. Chu did a lot of work for his bar's namesake, but surely a restaurant was different than a bar, right?

As of right now, he's trying to sweet-talk a kedan merchant into selling him alcohol in bulk at a decent price. "Come on, man, I have approval from Aroyan to do this. I have the money. My juulan are just as good as everyone else's, right?"

C. [Deon] The College | early April | open
Deon's been spending more time at the College than at SI lately. Ruefully, he thinks he should have applied there in the first place; SI had been more what he'd known, true, but the College was more in line with what he wanted to do. Not that Stark Industries wasn't better than Tetravaal, in its own way - but academia felt safer. And what also felt safer was tinkering with Tavimbian technology in a lab where it wouldn't be property of Xuiyu by virtue of being in the building. (He's not sure if that's how it works - but why take the chance?)

D. [Peridot] Throughout Keeliai | early April | open
Peridot was no longer welcome on the Morrigan. And with good reason. Drugging the captain is kind of a way to get on his shit list.

Gems don't need to eat, and they don't need sleep. But Peridot has been wandering all the same, feeling something...different. Whatever it is, she doesn't like it, and she's walking around with a hangdog look on her face.

E. [Gene] Jade Dojo | early April | closed to Valdis
Valdis' return hadn't surprised Gene much. Nor had her departure. He would have done the same, so he hadn't judged her. But he felt there was still a need to talk to her all the same.

After the students leave and they're cleaning up, he turns to her. "I don't think I've properly welcomed you back."

F. [Peridot] The Morrigan | April 10 | closed to Shay
Peridot hadn't meant her experiment to do the damage that it had done. Honest. Pinky swear. And she hadn't meant to make Shay angry. Well, making Shay angry had been the point; increasing emotions was the point of Dust, and thus the point of the experiment.

But Peridot was now feeling something like remorse. And after talking to a handful of people, she thinks she knows what to do.

Taking a deep breath, she knocks on the cabin door.

G. [Jackie] The Hotel | early April | closed to Obi-Wan
Jackie had seen the post on the consoles, and hadn't thought much of it, until weird things started happening around him.

Like in the fight with the Snakes. Granted, it had been after Valdis had shown up, but...

He wanted to bring it up anyway. The last time he'd developed powers...it hadn't been good.

So he finds Obi-Wan. "Hey...you said you wanted to hear about weird stuff happening, right?"

H. [Deon] Metal Sector | April 10 | closed to Vincent
Deon is making his way back to the Hotel from work when he passes a particular alley - one he's marked off in his mind as 'Vincent's alley'.

He doesn't know why - he's actually tried to avoid it. But the Dreaming has had other plans for him today, and his feet have found him here.

There's a familiar shape on the ground in the alley.

"...Vincent?"

I. [Gene] House Iron Dragon | April 10 | closed to Tony
Gene hasn't been sleeping so well these days.

He usually doesn't, but most nights he can roll over and listen to Tony's breathing and go back to sleep.

Lately, though, his thoughts have been keeping him more awake than he'd like, so if that doesn't work, he slips out of bed and goes to sit on the roof to look at the stars. He's been doing this for a few weeks and Tony hasn't seemed to catch wise.

Vincent lets out a low noise at the sound of his name. The pain was a bit too much...

...again.

His first thought when hearing Deon's voice was a flood of fear, before he opens his eyes and is staring at a familiar wall. His head pounds with pain, but... It couldn't be.

"'m dreaming..." He manages to whisper.

The first thing that floods through Deon is fear, too - followed by something that wasn't quite pity before it was overriden by concern for his severely injured state.

He crouches down next to Vincent. "You're not dreaming. You're back. Let me call someone for you." He reaches for his radio.
sadisticmoose: (annoyed grunt)

[personal profile] sadisticmoose 2016-04-11 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
And then Vincent laughs, before stopping, grunting in pain, because his ribs hurt.

"Why is it... you again?" He grunts.

Thaaaaaaanks.

"This place has a sense of humor," Deon says, with a bit of a grim sense of humor of his own. He picks up his radio and calls in. "I have a new arrival, he's injured."
sadisticmoose: (yippee ki yay motherfucker)

[personal profile] sadisticmoose 2016-04-11 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
"New arrival." Vincent snorts, listening to the voice on the other end of the radio. The person takes down where, how and what, and informs them that someone will be on their way shortly.

"Sense of humour... I take it that's why... I'm..." He winces in pain.
craftlife: (Chatting // chatvert)

[personal profile] craftlife 2016-04-14 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Probably," Deon says ruefully. He notes with some grim amusement that this is probably the most civil interaction they've had in at least a year - and he's counting that in Tetravaal time.

"Don't move too much."
sadisticmoose: (oi mate)

[personal profile] sadisticmoose 2016-04-18 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm not an idiot... I know not to move." He growls, before coughing, and then reaching out, grabbing Deon's sleeve.

"No healing... You got that, mate?"
craftlife: (Are you for srs rn // chatvert)

[personal profile] craftlife 2016-04-19 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Deon gives a start when Vincent grabs his sleeve.

"What do you mean, 'no healing'? You need it, I'm not going to let you suffer!"
sadisticmoose: (yippee ki yay motherfucker)

[personal profile] sadisticmoose 2016-04-22 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
"I want it to heal naturally. My leg, at least." He growls. "You heal me and I'll make your life a living hell, you got it?"
craftlife: (Apology // chatvert)

[personal profile] craftlife 2016-04-22 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Deon knows Vincent's capable of that. "I know you will," he mutters, and then blanches. He hadn't meant to say that aloud.

"...I'll tell the guild. But you need to tell them, too. So it doesn't look like I'm being spiteful."
sadisticmoose: (jesus christ)

[personal profile] sadisticmoose 2016-04-26 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
There's a snort, there. "Anyone who's met ya'd know you're not spiteful." He grunts.
craftlife: (Listen to me // chatvert)

[personal profile] craftlife 2016-04-30 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Still...I know we weren't on the best of terms when you were here last. And other people know it, too."
sadisticmoose: (jesus christ)

[personal profile] sadisticmoose 2016-05-03 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
Vincent huffs. "Fine... Fine, that's fine... S'long as I don't pass out."

"I'll keep you conscious," Deon vows. "What do you remember from your last time here?"
