I will not bow, I will not break | June Catchall
Characters: Pepper Potts, Devin Parker and you!
Date: Throughout June
Location: Keeliai
Situation: Pepper is busy with police work, Devin is being Devin.
Warnings/Rating: Mentions of blood because vampire. Others will be added as needed.
A. [Pepper] KPD | Throughout June | Open
Pepper is busy. Very, very busy. After the attacks, she seems to spend more time away from home than ever. She can't just go full tilt the whole time on her own, though. There's a department to run and people are turning to them for assistance, so when she's not helping with recovery she's organizing shifts and crews and coordinating logistics with some of the gangs that have called a truce and offered their help, as well as other groups across the city.
She doesn't sleep as much as she probably should, and it may occasionally be possible to spot her snoozing at her desk.
B. [Pepper] Jade Dojo | Early June | Bakura
Despite positively throwing herself into work, Pepper still made a point to visit the dojo when she could manage it. The last week in May and the first week of June don't give her much time to practice, but she would drop by to see Bakura and maybe help with weapons maintenance if she was there around sunset. There had been enough scolding attempts that Pepper had in fact gotten a few hours of sleep every night, but at some point even that wasn't enough. She reached the dojo a bit after dark, intent on curling up next to her favorite thief and unwinding over dinner, but only made it as far as the couch before she fell asleep almost immediately.
C. [Devin] Water Sector | June 1 | Heather
While Devin was not exactly thrilled by the arrangement that he'd made with Heather, but having multiple donors in a city where Foreigners have a tendency to vanish at the drop of a hat is the smart choice. There are a great many things and a great many people more important than his ego. The Healers Guild seemed the safest place for the experiment, and after an initial taste test doesn't send him careening into a frenzy, he's satisfied that her blood will do.
As requested, Devin goes to meet with her not long after. Unlike their previous meeting he's not quite so composed; there's something wild at the edges of him, and a sharpness in his gaze when he spots her and crosses to where she's sitting.
D. [Devin] Metal Sector | Mid June | Open
Keeliai isn't huge, but it's large enough that it's going to take some time for Devin to learn every street and alleyway. The act of memorization gives him something to do when he'd not at the police headquarters and keeps him busy enough that he doesn't stay at the Hotel much. Eventually, he'll move out, but he needs enough money for things like furniture. The Metal Sector has his interest currently, and the vampire winds up and down each street, occasionally stopping to take notes in a small journal. He looks pensive most of the time, and can usually be convinced to chat.
E. [Pepper] Turtle's Head | Mid June | Valdis/Gene
So, the past month or so has kind of sucked, and Pepper rarely found herself needing peace and quiet but... well, she needed some now. Jade Dojo and Bakura usually fit the bill there, but the serenity that the turtle's head offered was tempting enough that she took a hike out there a few times. Pepper brought her deck with her, as had become her custom, and was working with Vee to summon her in a smaller size. It wasn't too difficult, but getting into a habit of it seemed like a smart idea. The ka also consented to sit with Pepper after a certain point, sans much of her armor, and discuss deck orientation and strategies, remarking that the calm of the turtle was evident to her as well. It was a little easier to breathe here.
F. [Devin] Sky Sector | Early June | Valdis
In anticipation of her home becoming a potential cultist target, Devin had warded Valdis' house so that only she could come and go. Recent events - namely Valdis getting mildly possessed - suggested that having access to her home in the event of a similar emergency might be wise. The sword, Revelations, could have been useful to assist her and instead he ended up warding her into a room at the Healers Guild (although that might have been necessary anyway). All told, it's made him realize that he might want to alter the wards at her house somewhat; Devin has zero interest in handling Revelations ever again, but he can't deny that if he needs to use it, he ought to be able to reach it.
The vampire arrived at Valdis' house a little before sunset and knocked sharply on her door to announce his presence.
G. [Pepper] Earth Sector | Early June | Raine
Pepper has been working really hard since the attacks, and has had to be reminded to slow down (which she doesn't always listen to), and she knows that Raine and the other healers undoubtedly have been going near non-stop as well. Raine in particular has a way of spreading herself thin at times like these. So, if Pepper is going to get nudged by those around her to take a break, she's going to pass the nagging on. It's not as though she hasn't already made a habit of appearing at Raine's apartment or work with treats in hand, and today is much the same. The difference this time is that some of her tiredness is showing, even though she's smiling broadly when she knocks on Raine's door.

When she opens the door she has to stare at Pepper for a moment or two before processing what might possibly be going on. The fact Pepper has treats in hand makes everything make sense, and Raine's face clears. "Pepper. Is everything all right?"

And then she steps aside so Raine has room to exit.
no subject
A break, Pepper says. "Did you have someplace in mind?"
And now that Pepper has interrupted her, Raine finds she is hungry. She eyes Pepper's delicious burden with a subtle sort of covetousness.

And, noticing the hungry look that Raine is giving the bag, Pepper hands it to her with a grin so she can have first choice of the muffins.
no subject
But the muffins she appreciates, and Raine takes the bag with a nod of thanks. "I hadn't realized exactly how hungry I was," she admits, a little sheepish, and picks out a muffin. "These look excellent-- thank you."
no subject
"You are very welcome. I figured you might need some fuel after how busy things've been. There's extra for later, too, since I couldn't just pick out two. They're too tasty. Man, though, Marinette is working on making bagels and I am so excited."
