I have hover jets, therefore I hover jet around my problems.
Characters: Gene, Jackie, Alex, Miles, Aly, and YOOOOUU!!
Date: All of May
Location: Keeliai et al
Situation: The lusty month of May~
Warnings/Rating: Will be added as necessary.
A. [Gene] | throughout Keeliai | throughout April | open
Well, here's something odd. As usual, Gene's looking pensive, but he's actually striking up chats with people. Maybe it's because of his role in the new Justice and Arbitration Guild, and maybe it's because he's trying to take over half the work from Bakura at the Dojo after he attacked that kedan. There are some dark circles under his eyes, but he appears to be in decent spirits.
B. [Jackie] | the Golden Koi | throughout May | open
Time to move! Yes, Jackie's moving out of the Hotel and into his own little place. There's an apartment above the Koi which is much more convenient...and it keeps him from having to walk home in the dark, which still bothers him. He knows that he's shown up after his death - what's to say Mr. Tong won't, too?
So he's moving his meager possessions and getting some basic furniture along with tending bar less frequently than he usually does. Come say hi!
C. [Alex] | Water Sector | throughout May | open
Alex may be part of the Foreigners Guild now, but that doesn't mean he's not involved with the city. On the contrary. He's more than willing to talk to the kedan, joke with them, and haggle. He spends a lot of time in the Water Sector; it reminds him of what he considers home, in a way. He'd spent a lot of time in the Far East, after all, and while Keeliai as a whole reminded him of it, the Water Sector did most of all.
He seems happy. This is weird.
D. [Miles] | throughout Keeliai | throughout May | open
Miles, in the meantime, is all business. Since his scary death machine had been activated because of the Dust contamination, he has a bone to pick with the cultists. Several bones, in fact. All 206 bones in the human body, or however many the kedan who're in the cult have at the time when he gets a hold of them.
Basically, while he doesn't really want to go full Walrider on them, he won't shed any tears if he does.
He's hunting around for clues, anything he can find, asking anyone who might know anything. Good job putting a target on your back, dummy. Stupid hamartia.
E. [Aly] | Metal Sector | throughout May | open
At least the Metal Sector is somewhat familiar. It reminds her of cities back home, almost, or Linali. She can almost pretend that she's Otherside instead of stuck here. Almost.
She's fidgeting with the ring on her hand, walking around and window-shopping. She's obviously quite new.
F. [Aly] | Earth Sector/Wood Sector | early May | open
Of course, there's more than one way to get the lay of the land, and that's from the air. Sort of. She can't transform into anything that flies, and she can't fly on her own, but she's taught herself how to parkour, sort of, and on a good day she can do a wuxia wire-leap that looks impossible. She just has to believe in herself hard enough.
If anyone's around at night, she can be seen walking and running around on the roofs of the Earth Sector, or climbing trees in the Wood Sector.
G. [Aly] | the Dreaming | May 6 | open
Though she's been here about a month, she doesn't like it here. She misses home. Home, not home. She misses the forest, she misses her dark and enormous trees, the way the crimson leaves carpet the ground and muffle every step, she misses the land spirit...
The land spirit.
It didn't work last time she tried, but she twirls her wrist and pulls.
She's yanked away, and...there she is. The forest. The wolf's forest. Her forest. Home.
"Sensei?" she calls out. There's no answer. "Sensei?"
That doesn't make sense. He's always here. He doesn't leave. He never leaves. It's his realm, it's his place. Why isn't he here?
She walks up to the big flat rock on one side of the clearing, what she thinks of as the plinth, where he usually is, and feels it for warmth. There's nothing. He's not here. He's gone. Something happened, and he's gone.
The stone feels different, too - unusual, dead. Like the land spirit's abandoned it, too. She casts about, but her line is gone. There's no connection. There's no land spirit. The simurgh is gone. They're all gone. They're gone, and she's alone.
She lies down on the rock - the dead rock, the cold rock, the lonely rock - and starts to cry.

B.
It was by chance, mainly, that she saw him. Their paths crossed as she was on her way to one of her studies, early because she'd had only one delivery to make that day in the morning and had the time. Aside from the usual joy that came with coming across a familiar face, Midii's curious was heightened when she noticed the amount of items he was carrying. It didn't take long to make a guess as to why:
"Moving?"
no subject
"Oh, hey, Midii!" he said with a grin. "Yeah, I'm moving, how did you guess?" That made him laugh, and he shifted some of the items in his arms.
no subject
She had few ill feelings toward her former residence, but even fewer regrets over having moved out and into her own small apartment in Fire some time back.
no subject
"I dunno, I've been there for so long, I guess I finally thought that it was time," he said. That, and the fact that he didn't want to make himself a target. "Besides, how much closer to work can I get than living directly above the bar?"
no subject
Granted, the definition of that bad varied from person to person, but she still wasn't fond of the memory of magic running loose. Even if it had been more inconvenient than dangerous.
no subject
For the Hotel, yeah, that was pretty quiet.
no subject
"That's good to hear." She didn't seem to miss her old living arrangements much, but she knew the Hotel had a lot of Foreigners working there, so she wished the business well. "I hope there haven't been too many people fighting like that at your bar."

no subject
"No, thank you. Between the job I already have, studying with Sherlock, and studying with Suhiet, my schedule is pretty full anyway."
no subject
He could probably get back to studying, himself.
