For you are made of nebulas and novas and night sky...
Characters: Pepper Potts, Yami no Bakura, Raine Sage, Jackie Ma, Gene Khan, Tony Stark and open!
Date: Throughout November
Location: Around Keeliai
Situation: Pepper gains the ability to do magic on her own, she's turning 18... it's a crazy month
Warnings/Rating: Probably mention of death; others as needed
A. Jade Dojo | November 1 | Bakura
After the reappearance of Bakura's ghosts, Pepper offered to be something of an ally for them. As she promised, she hasn't kept asking about it, although it's been extremely difficult. As something of an alternative, she'd visited the pyramid outside the city a few times and drawn out the hieroglyphs. She thought about using the suit to translate them, or to borrow one of Solomon's books, but thought better of it. Pepper is only going to learn those names if or when Bakura tells her. She made a promise, and she's going to keep it. Despite them being remnants of people, mostly full of rage according to Raine, she's grown a little fond of them. She comes to the dojo looking forward to seeing them as well as him now.
B. Fire Sector | November 6 | Jackie
Jackie is a sort of odd and interesting person. He's different than most of the people Pepper knows in Keeliai, but he's fun to hang out with. Plus, hanging out with him is a great reason to visit the Fire sector, which is a super cool place. He's also one of the only people she's talked to about the letter she got and that's earned him extra brownie points.
C. House Iron Dragon | November 15, morning | Gene and Tony
Pepper can do magic. She can do magic. On her own. This is awesome and terrifying at the same time. After taking enough time to calm down about it, she needs to tell Gene and Tony. This is awesome! She's as antsy as she's ever been, buzzing with excitement when she bursts into the house.
"Gene? Tony? Are you guys home?" Pepper calls, loudly.
D. Healing Guild | November 15, later afternoon | Raine
It had occurred to Pepper that, while giving Raine a heads up that she was stopping by would have been the polite thing, her shared excitement about this new development will probably overcome any upset at barging in. She's practically bouncing through the halls on her way to Raine's office.
"Raaaaaaaaine," she sings, sliding to a stop in front of the healer's door, the gauntlet on hidden behind her back.
E. Central and Sky Sectors | Late November | Open to all
Back home, it's nearing Thanksgiving. The air is getting colder, and sometimes the feeling of homesickness is intense. Pepper didn't think she'd be spending Thanksgiving away from her dad for many, many years to come. She's doing her best to hide it by preparing for Thanksgiving at home. That means decorations and finding the best substitutes for things like garlic mashed potatoes and perfect roast turkey. She can often be seen in the markets, poring over the different offerings and trying not to buy all the scarves in Keeliai.

no subject
Pepper closes her eyes as Bakura gets up and leaves. That had not ended well, but... his reaction and his response are telling in and of themselves. If Bakura had ever thought he had other options, he had dismissed them anyway. The choice he made in either situation was enormous, incredible, and terrible all at the same time. She might not agree with the actions he took because of that choice, but the choice itself is a different matter.
Choosing to live, though, didn't mean he was choosing to forget, or choosing not to fight. Perhaps when faced with something so horrific, something as awful as what he'd been through, those subtleties couldn't exist.
She sits quietly on the veranda for a while, listening to the sounds around her. Pepper drinks in the noise and tries to soothe the storm of sadness and confusion occupying her mind. Outwardly, though, she's calm save the tension in the corner of her eyes and mouth. It's a choice to be calm, one that she's learned from Skul.
Eventually, Pepper gets up and goes to return the staff to it's place in the dojo. She debates the merits of trying to speak with him, and instead goes to her bag and pulls out a piece of paper. She writes a short note and leaves it folded over the staff where he can see it whenever he does his usual weapons maintenance, then departs. The note reads:
Thank you for answering my question, and for not sparing me your anger. See you in a few days.
