Everyone's dead but me, I can have all the donuts to myself!

Characters: Gene, Jackie, Peridot, Alex, and YOOOOUU!!
Date: Novemberage
Location: All up ins
Situation: ALL THE THINGS!
Warnings/Rating: Will be added as they come up

A. [Gene] | throughout Keeliai | throughout November | open
Gene has been put under strict orders to stop working himself to death, under pain of Pepper. Which is enough of a threat for anyone, really. So he's out and about, trying to enjoy himself, and trying to talk to people. The guilt is easing. Maybe he's not the monster he thinks he is after all.

B. [Jackie] | Hotel and Sky Sector | throughout November | open
Jackie, meanwhile, has been scouting for additional staff for the bar. Desmond had been out of it for a while, but Jackie figured he'd go talk to him about it, since hey, he was back now; but the place was growing, and so was business. He's also heading down to talk to kedan merchants about supplying the bar, since it's clear he's becoming a better investment by the month.

C. [Gene] | House Spicy Iron Dragon | October 25 | closed to Pepper and Tony
Today's the day. It's The Day.

What day, you ask? Gene's birthday, of course. And he doesn't want to acknowledge it in any way. He's sneaking out of the house very early in the morning, trying to evade the reincarnation of Pinkie Pie, Party Planner Pepper.

D. [Peridot] | Metal Sector | throughout November | open
Peridot's garage is quite satisfactory, thank you. She's started to work on projects there; if you walk by, you might be able to see her welding things together, trying to make robots.

E. [Gene] | the Turtle's Head | after that little talk with Pepper | closed to Pepper
Extreme Nope 9000 has brought Gene here. He needs some time to process what he just heard. Time, and probably a not insignificant amount of local moonshine. But right now, the calming effect of Tu Vishan will suffice.

F. [Alex] | throughout Keeliai | throughout November | open
Alex is doing what a field man does best: gather data. As a result, he's limping around, conversing with kedan and Foreigners alike, generally just being a genial, approachable middle-aged man with a cane.

One who files everything he learns into his mental Rolodex.

G. [Gene] | the Dojo | after that talk with Pepper | closed to Bakura
That conversation with Pepper had been interesting, and not at all what Gene had expected. He's pretty sure it hadn't been what either of them had expected.

Time to...not exactly clear the air, because there was nothing to clear, but time to let Bakura know that he knows what he knows.

As a professional courtesy. And as a friend.

After the dojo's closed up for the day, Gene approaches him. "Got a minute?"

This could have gone a lot worse, all things considered.

"I know I'm sort of the reason why things are weird, but... if there's anything I can do to help...? Even just-- I don't know, answer any questions you might have, or something," she offers gently. "Or I can just back off."

That wasn't really her style, but she would deal if that was what Gene wanted.

"I didn't mean generally back off, just on this. Like, I can keep Bakura out of dinner conversations or whatever. It'll take way more than having a super weird relationship to keep me away," Pepper replies, and the faint playfulness makes it a little hard to tell if she's referring to Bakura or Tony and Gene.

She offers him a small smile. "You two are sort of strange, when I think about everything that happened at home. But... I dunno, you fit." Pepper shrugs lightly. "I'll fight for that if I have to."

"Okay," she says with a nod. "You know I'm good at talking."

Pepper takes a second or two to think about his question before shrugging. "You're good for each other. You challenge each other in different ways and you both take care of each other when either of you forgets to do it themselves," she explains. "And you've ended up together - and stayed together - even when you really probably shouldn't have. You made it work, even when everything about our past says you shouldn't have been able to. You fit," she concludes.
