He kinda looks like a boat made of hate.

Characters: Gene, Jackie, Alex, Miles, Aly, and YOOOOUU!!
Date: July
Location: Keeliai et al
Situation: Everything. All the things. All of them.
Warnings/Rating: Will be added as necessary.

A. [Gene] | throughout Keeliai | throughout July | open
Gene has decided to take it upon himself to be Public Relations for the KPD in the aftermath of the cultist attack. Why? Because he has no regard for his own sanity. He can be seen talking to kedan; some of them at least respect that he's in the Guild of Justice and Arbitration.

Someone please come save him from his own bad decisions.

B. [Jackie] | the Golden Koi | throughout July | open
Jackie's trying to run the Koi as best he can these days. He's still sad - his heart hurts because Brigid is gone - but he knows he has to press on. People leave here, and sometimes they come back, but he's not going to count on it.

C. [Alex] | Water Sector | throughout July | 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.

They'd always called him bright and diplomatic, and honestly, the Foreigners could use a shot in the arm of diplomacy right now.

Of course, he's not without his own agenda. The cultist attack had been terrible, but it had also taught him some things about their tactics and their motivations (even if the culprits had had nothing of use to say). He's making careful note of everything everyone says, every little twitch and turn of phrase, looking for something incriminating.

D. [Miles] | throughout Keeliai | throughout July | open
Hell. Goddamn. Fire.

Going home had maybe been the worst choice Miles could have made, and he'd made more than his fair share of shitty choices. Because now? Now he was truly a human-shaped abomination of science. And even more of a murderer than he had been, to boot. So he's trying to look chipper - overly so. In fact, it's downright unusual, considering how single-minded he'd been about the cultists before. Now it's obvious that he has something else entirely on his mind.

E. [Aly] | throughout Keeliai | throughout July | open
Aly, meanwhile, has been taking to Keeliai like a fish to water (pardon). She's in a place where things stay put so she's going to keep learning the city. It's been a few months, but that doesn't mean she's going to stop scouring the area...and maybe climbing things she shouldn't.

F. [Gene] | House Spicy Iron Dragon | July 10 | closed to Tony
Once again, Gene's on the roof.

He was glad he'd made it easily-accessible; it was a quiet spot for him to think, and it also let him be alone. Him being on the roof was a sort of signal for that, that he needed to clear his mind. But sometimes it also meant that he needed to talk and wasn't sure how. As usual, he'd be the last one to know which one of those it was.

G. [Aly] | Fire Sector | July 7 | closed to Valdis
Aly's on a building. She likes to be tall.

Also, it kind of makes her feel like Batman, especially in the middle of the night when things are lit only by the fire fountains. She doesn't crouch, cowled like the man-bat, but sits on the corner of a roof, her foot dangling, watching people walk by.

H. [Gene] | Healers' Guild | July 3 | closed to Raine
This ka thing wouldn't get off of his mind, so Gene figured he'd consult someone else about it. He knew for sure that Raine had one, so when he has the time, he goes to the Guild, requests to speak to her, and waits, suddenly nervous. Pepper might soften what she says to him out of affection, but Raine will tell him things bluntly.

Jackie's been used to loss his whole life. Growing up in Old Prosperity, someone could get hurt or killed every day - OD, turf war, whatever.

It's not that different here. Only when people go, there's no how; they just go.

He should have expected that. He'd lost Jiu Mei back home, and Brigid had gone home once before. Her coming back had been enough of a surprise; he wished he'd taken more advantage of it.

When he hears his name, he looks up. Did she really...

"Brigid?"

She fidgets with her crucifix, the way she does when she's nervous or anxious about something. It's something she often did in the early days of dating Jackie.

"I -" Her voice cracks. She's not even sure what she's going to say. Except she needs to apologize. So, she clears her throat. "I'm sorry." She whispers, unable to speak louder.

"I'm so so sorry." Her voice falters on the last word. She almost sobs it out. "I know, I left you again, and if you tell me to go, I will, but I have my soul gem now, and maybe that means I'll stay? I don't know, but I am sorry." A tear leaks down her cheek.

While she talks, he just stares at her, almost unable to comprehend what he's hearing. Is she really...? What is she...?

"No, no, no, hey, no," he says quickly. "It's not your fault, you don't have to say you're sorry. I know this place just...takes people, I dunno. I'm just. I'm glad you're back," he says with a shaky smile.

She holds her hand over her mouth, trying to stifle the crying. She really shouldn't cry. It always messes up her sense of smell for hours.

"It's still not fair to you, Jackie." She says, lowering her hand. "I just don't want to keep hurting you and if this place keeps yanking me around, I don't know what I'm going to do."

Jackie smiles a little bit. "Babe...it's okay. I know what this place does. And I...kinda grew up with shit like this. Not quite, but, like...people could die at any time. At least here, I know you might come back."

That didn't mean it didn't still hurt, but it was better than nothing

"I did come back." She whispers. "I'm so very sorry you were hurt." She walks closer to the bar. "But see? I have a soul gem now." She shows him the gem in her crucifix. It hadn't been there before. Maybe now, she'll be here for good.

She puts her hand over his. The touch is tentative, but there.

"What do you mean 'now'? You didn't before?" he said. "Then how were you...here?"

He looks down at her hand on his and smiles, just a bit.

"I don't know." She admits, but she's excited. Because a soul gem? That's something that hadn't been there before. Now it is. Maybe this place'll stop yanking her about.

"But it wasn't there before." She reiterates. "And now it is."

"If it wasn't there, it must have been somewhere else," Jackie said, shaking his head. "People got their gems stolen before and nearly died. You get sick if you don't have it."
