Inside the maze is murder city.

[wrathfulkhan]

Characters: Gene, Jackie, Deon, Peridot, and Avery - as well as whoever you decide to throw at them!
Date: June wheneverth to wheneverth
Location: Keeliai and Hatal
Situation: Literally my entire crew trying not to think about things that cause them suffering
Warnings/Rating: Will be added as applicable.

A. [Gene] | throughout Keeliai | throughout June | open
Gene's mood seems to have improved as of late, and it's clear he's working himself pretty hard. Maybe too hard. Between the government, the police, and his paying job at the Dojo, where he's taking extra hours where he can, he's trying to keep himself especially busy. To anyone with the ability to sense it, or even someone who's used to his mannerisms, they might surmise that he's trying to keep himself too busy to feel emotions...

B. [Jackie] | throughout Keeliai | throughout June | open
Jackie's still getting supplies for the bar, but he's watching his back constantly. His little run-in with the Snakes had made him wary, and then when Obi-Wan had told him he had the Force...he wasn't sure what to think. So he tries not to go out alone, and hopes what Brigid had taught him about krav maga was enough to save his ass for now.

C. [Deon] | the College | throughout June | open
Deon is hard at work doing both research for SI and his side project of helping Bisi with Mag's somatic link. He's not going to lie - he finds the latter more interesting, but AI has always been his first passion. He can be found all through the college, usually writing or drawing schematics or with his nose in every book he can find about the Dreaming. (And maybe learning about the somatic link will help him help Vincent.)

D. [Peridot] | Hatal | throughout June | open
Peridot is still in a little bit of shock about Tektite's revelation that the facility Tektite was from was authorized by Yellow Diamond. So she tries to bury it by hunting around Hatal for anything she can use to recreate her limb enhancers, and not thinking about Tektite.

E. [Avery] | throughout Keeliai | throughout June | open
It's clear Avery's still new - they are very much still in Tourist Mode. They haven't even made it over to Hatal yet and they're still wandering around Keeliai gaping at the fire fountains and looking appreciatively at the canals and staring at the tall trees in the Wood Sector.

It's all to numb the pain of worrying about their friends and the cats - because sometimes the cafe reminds them too much of Finley and Mason and Hayes and Reese and Landry and Graves, and all the cats that should be there but aren't.

F. [Gene] | wherever we're meeting for govt stuff??? | a time | closed to Pepper and Padme
tbd

G. [Gene] | the Dojo | early June | closed to Valdis
During some downtime at the Dojo, Gene and Valdis chat about the newly minted police force. Now is one of those times.

H. [Gene] | the Dojo | mid-June | closed to Bakura
Gene's been working himself pretty hard at the Dojo, and as such he's often one of the first people there and the last to leave, whenever government and police stuff doesn't get in the way. But after all the students have left and he's cleaning up, he starts to crack just a bit. He's putting the practice swords away a little too hard, and his heart's pounding in his ears.

I. [Jackie] | Sky Sector | early June | closed to Brigid
It's one of those rare times when Jackie isn't working (dang, running a bar is a lot of work!) so he's out in the Sky Sector around dusk, and it's one of the few times it's not raining this month (nice). Everyone needs a break now and then.

J. [Gene] | House Spicy Iron Dragon | mid June | closed to Tony and Pepper
Tony's been running himself into the ground. Gene's been running himself into the ground.

Pepper needs to suplex both of them and tell them to quit it.

K. [Deon] | the College | mid June | closed to Vincent
For once, Deon's got the vinegar, and he's gone to talk to Vincent. He finds the Aussie in one of the labs.

"Vincent."

L. [Peridot] | the Morrigan | late June | closed to Shay
Peridot hasn't gone back to see Shay since she tried to make things right before, and hadn't really succeeded. But this time, this time, she knows it'll work. She knocks on the cabin door, more boldly than the last time.

M. [Deon] | the Morrigan | mid June | closed to Shay
Deon's a bit of a sorry sight. As anyone would be after getting their ass kicked by a guy on crutches, but still. He's opted to go see Shay, since he'd be happy of a friend right now, and goes by the Morrigan. Since he has walk-in privileges, he opens the door, shuts it behind him, and walks in on an odd sight.

"Shay? Are you...what are you shaving with?"

N. [Jackie] | the Golden Koi | mid June | closed to Shay
The bar seems to be doing better business now, so that's not too bad. Jackie's happy about it, at least. So when the door opens and he sees a customer, he smiles and enthusiastically waves to them.

"Hey! Welcome to the Koi, man."
