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.

"Batman? Not exactly someone to emulate."

Valdis looked over at the girl, letting the life plane fade into the soul plane. Slightly startled by what she saw, the life plane snapped back into place and she took a sudden breath.

"More than odd..."

"Eh, there are worse role models," Aly said with a chuckle. (Like half the people on the turtle, honestly.)

At Valdis' remark, she glanced over. "Something wrong?"
redlightgreenlight: (mysterious)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2017-07-21 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
More than half the people on the turtle...

"Death," Valdis replied, eyes narrowing, "You've been touched by death."
wolfishflame: (Oh shit // hollow_art)

[personal profile] wolfishflame 2017-07-21 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Aly gave a start and really focused on Valdis. "Sorry?"

Almost unconsciously, her hand went to the thin scar encircling her entire neck like a choker - the mark of her surprise beheading. Nasty way to go. Nastier way to come back to your body. She'd honestly been convinced for a second that the faerie assassins had killed her in the Waking like they'd been intending to. But they'd killed her on the Otherside...and she'd lived to tell the tale, so to say.
redlightgreenlight: (Uncertain)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2017-07-22 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
If the girl's reaction said anything, it was that Valdis had been correct. The girl had died, and if that scar was any indication, it had been an unpleasant one. But it hadn't been a complete death...somehow.

"You've died...kind of."

Not in the same way Valdis could die and come back, somehow she felt this was very different.

Aly narrowed her eyes. "And what gives you that particular idea?" Some people here could sense life and death, she'd noticed. Given what had happened to her, and how closely she danced with death on the regular (not to mention the time she'd died that had made her what she was), she wasn't surprised that people could notice...something. Didn't mean it wasn't annoying, though.
redlightgreenlight: (cocky)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2017-07-25 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Though the girl seemed annoyed by her observation, Valdis didn't much care.

"I can see souls," Valdis replied, her tone light, "Yours is more interesting than most."
wolfishflame: (Oh shit // hollow_art)

[personal profile] wolfishflame 2017-07-25 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
That made Aly laugh a little nervously. "Ahaha, oh really. You sure? I'm Normal McNormalface up in here, yep. Just got your average, run-of-the-mill soul. Maybe it's even still my baby soul? I dunno, does that only happen to Catholics? That you have a baby soul and then when you get confirmed you get, like, a more different soul?"

Quick, diversion!
redlightgreenlight: (mysterious)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2017-07-25 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Valdis looked away from Aly, not falling for it, "It's like a flame, burning brightly, and then a piece...not you."

That was slightly disturbing, as Valdis realized that the girl was missing a piece, just like she was.

"And that's not how souls work. Humans have wild imaginations."
wolfishflame: (Default)

[personal profile] wolfishflame 2017-07-25 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Aly squeezed her eyes shut. Yep, the police chief lady wasn't bluffing. That was her. Right up to the not-her piece.

"Neat trick," she said a little too cheerfully. "You like to pull that one out at parties?"
redlightgreenlight: (uncertain smile)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2017-07-25 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Valdis wasn't certain what to make of Aly's tone, but as she didn't sense any outright negativity, she wouldn't be too concerned.

"Not usually, unless someone's soul is particularly interesting, my interactions with them are something I usually keep to myself." Or she was trying to intimidate them, like with Yunxu.

[personal profile] wolfishflame 2017-07-25 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Not something you can turn on and off, then?" Aly asked, tilting her head at Valdis. "Huh." Not like how she saw lines, and thank every god for that; she'd go blind.

"So is that why you're up here? Getting an up-close-and-personal look at the soul freak?"
redlightgreenlight: (expressionless)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2017-07-25 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Parts of it I can turn on and off," she said, taking a deep breath, "And no, I don't generally think of others as 'freaks'."

Not when she herself was considered an abomination.

"You seemed...lonely."
wolfishflame: (Side-eye // hollow_art)

[personal profile] wolfishflame 2017-07-25 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Aly stared at Valdis. "...no kidding," she said quietly.

She was lonely, a little. She missed her mom, and her friends, and her cat. And that dream she'd had...it had felt so real. And it had hurt.

"You like to pull that one out at parties, too?" she asked, but she couldn't quite muster up the sarcasm.
redlightgreenlight: (Uncertain)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2017-07-25 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
"It isn't really a party trick. Most people don't like it when I tell them what they are feeling."

Some, like Devin, downright resented it.
