A. BAKURA - Jade Dojo
Activity at the Dojo had returned more or less to previous levels from before the attack, although it tended to be less busy on days where the temperature spiked particularly high. Thus it wasn't unusual for Bakura's midday to be a lull, which he sometimes filled with his own practices on the target dummies or, if someone requested it, perhaps a spar.
On the outside of the dojo, one might find him sitting on the wooden-planked veranda that runs around the perimeter of the building. Sometimes he appears to be asleep, leaning up against one of the vertical columns with his eyes closed in a patch of sunlight, and Diabound a bundle of white scales and feathers in his lap.

B. BAKURA - Around Keeliai
The heat is hardly a deterrent for him, and if anything seems to have put him in a better mood. He's more likely to engage in casual conversation and linger in public places like cafes just for the sake of it. Occasionally he'll bring along what looks like a translation project, working in two notebooks: one filled with kedanese, and the other with hieroglyphics.
C. JACK - Welcome Center + Around Keeliai
With Zatanna having taken on extra responsibility due to being one of the elected leaders of the Foreigners Guild, the spirit has been trying to pick up duties around the Welcome Center in order to lessen the workload for her. Part of this requires keeping up with the contacts around the city, especially ones that had agreed to host potential new Foreigners as employees. Most of the time, he makes these visits in the early morning or later, after dusk, and frequently by air and rooftop.
D. JACK - Wood Sector
Even the summer weather isn't enough to entirely dampen his spirits when it comes to kids, and he calls up little pockets of snow in parks for them to play in. He's good with them, even luring older ones who are too "cool" to play with the younger aged ones.
Not often, but sometimes the conjured snow will be laced with his particular magic to bring out the playful side of even the most stalwart grouches.

Hit me with anything that doesn't fit in the above starters!
A
While they're taking a break, Pepper sets her staff aside and walks out to the veranda. It doesn't do much to relieve the humidity, which is partially explained by the approaching clouds. "Looks like it might rain," she says with a grin. "Good thing the roof is fixed."
no subject
"The rain will be a good break," he added in agreement. While he still preferred summer weather over winter, the humidity was becoming near oppressive.
no subject
"Did you get big storms in Egypt ever? Obviously it's super dry most of the time but closer to the Mediterranean it's probably a bit different, right?"
no subject
Bakura hummed thoughtfully at the question, and began dishing out the base mix to the bowls. "Down in the Delta it did, yes, when the storms came in off the sea. Farther upward, there were only storms occasionally. It wasn't like it is here... the ground was almost always too baked dry to absorb any of the rain, so it went rushing and flooding everywhere. It seems very strange to think that people can drown in a desert, but it happens."
"The rain wasn't the only thing to worry about. Sometimes the storms didn't bring rain at all, just lightning. Those were dangerous." Exhilarating, but dangerous.
no subject
"Huh. That makes sense, I guess. Not a lot of high ground, either." She hadn't thought about that being a danger, but recalling the cracked salt flats of Death Valley... yeah, flash flooding could be seriously bad. "Dangerous, but I bet it was awesome to watch from a distance. Like natural fireworks or whatever. Do you know if it made glass out of the sand?" Speaking of lightning, there was a flash in the far distance. "...I wonder if Tu Vishan feels lightning strikes here."
no subject
He glances up at the flash. "I doubt it. The shell has its own mountains, there has to be enough mineral in the ground to disperse it before it reaches what can be felt."
no subject
She leaned out from under the veranda, hanging on to one of the columns for balance. "Either that or it feels like being tickled. He's kinda huge. We'd probably have shellquakes if it were, though, since there's usually flailing involved with getting tickled," Pepper commented, far too innocently for the mischievous look on her face when she glanced over her shoulder.
no subject
"If I 'flail', you're not going to get dinner."
no subject
"Hmmm. That's a tough choice. I could always wait until after dinner and get both, you know."
no subject
He scoffed at her supposed plan. "Your element of surprise needs work. What kind of clever plan is it to just tell me that?"
no subject
Because that's how logic works, right?
"The plan where I keep you wondering what I'm actually going to do," she answered, wiggling her fingers at him. "Or maybe the plan where I give you fair warning. Or the one where that's not actually my plan. We'll both just have to wait and see, huh?"
