City pulls me in closer than I've ever been | July Catchall
Characters: Pepper Potts, Devin Parker, and you!
Date: Throughout July
Location: Around Keeliai
Situation: Pepper is getting settled after several busy and unpleasant months, and Devin is making dumb decisions.
Warnings/Rating: Violence, possibly blood.
A. [Pepper] KPD | Throughout July | Open
Things have at least started to settle down some in the city, so while Pepper is busy she's no longer stretched to the limit. Her schedule is more regular, and she's taking fewer night shifts this month to try and catch up on sleep. All in all, she's in a much better mood when she's at work, helped in no small part by mending fences with Valdis. The ship is righting itself, finally, but that makes her no less vigilant.
B. [Pepper] Sky Sector | Throughout July | Open
The heat and lack of rain aren't uncomfortable for Pepper - New York could get positively sweltering in the summer - and it's decent weather for practicing summoning in the backyard. She does usually wait until early evening, when the temperatures cool down just a little.
When it does rain, though, Pepper pretty much drops everything and races out into the downpour. She's missed thunderstorms and the torrential rain they bring. Pepper will spin around with her arms out, head tilted back and mouth open to catch the drops, completely unconcerned by getting drenched from head to toe.
C. [Devin] Outside Water Sector | Early July | Kratos
At the gathering to decide the leadership of the Foreigners Guild, Devin and Kratos had decided to spar. More specifically, they had agreed to duel at dawn with swords. The events in the city had made it somewhat inappropriate to engage in fun activities like that as early as they had intended. After things had settled some, they'd reestablished the day and time. The additional time had meant Devin could acquire himself a beater sword - functional and sharp, though not particularly pretty - and shave off some of the rust that had been building over the years. The sun was just starting to come up when he reached the appointed location, carrying not one sword but two.
D. [Devin] Wood Sector | Throughout July | Open
Most of the time, Devin does his best to stay away from the Hotel. It's not hard, and he's still working on his mental map of the city. June was all about Metal Sector, and this month he's largely wandering through Wood Sector when he isn't working or sleeping. From time to time, he'll pause and find somewhere to sit, all the while taking notes in some kind of shorthand.
OOC note: Let me know if you want a specific starter or write your own adventure!

D for Devin
Am I even human anymore?
The Walrider wasn't just in him, it was him, as far as he could tell. And he hated that. He'd rather die, but the chiefest and greatest of ironies was that he couldn't. Damn thing wouldn't let him even if he was back home.
He's taking notes, too, trying to find cultist activity, and mostly just trying to take his mind off of the fact that he's an abomination of science now. His current project is to find the tea that is the most like coffee, and today he's going around the Wood Sector looking for it.
whoops I messed up that lettering order lol
Having spent most of his life either hunting or observing his surroundings for related purposes, Devin recognizes when someone is searching for something. Miles isn't exactly making it hard, either.
"Sometimes it's easier to find what you're looking for when you stop moving," he remarks without raising his head, keeping his attention on the journal.
i knew whatcha meant
Miles' head whips up when he's spoken to. Yeah, he's theoretically looking for pseudo-coffee, but he's really looking for answers to why God has burdened him with this horrible nightmare of existence he now finds himself in. And mostly why, if there was in fact such a thing as a just and merciful God, why every single Nazi hadn't been smote immediately.
Miles Upshur's Reasons for Atheism, Numbers 1-3,901.
"And sometimes if there's a bustle in your hedgerow, it's just a spring clean for the May Queen," Miles says easily. "Can I help you?"
<3 my hero
Devin gets a lot of solitude by his own design, and while it's mostly to avoid people, it's also valuable when he's grappling with a particularly thorny problem.

Which is part of why he's been running around outside to begin with. If he stays inside contemplating his own navel, he's gonna set himself on fire.

"Alternatively, you could ask for directions," he suggests.
