Come on, boys, let's cause a stir.

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

A. [Gene] | Wood Sector | early August | open
Just because Gene's dealt with this weather before doesn't mean he particularly likes it. But at least the great trees of the Wood Sector provide some relief in the hottest parts of the day, and since he can't sleep much at all lately, let alone at midday, he walks.

He meanders, humming so quietly to himself that he's not even aware he's humming, something like an old lullaby.

B. [Jackie] | Night Market | throughout August | open
The Night Market's helping to improve Jackie's mood even more. It's almost like being back home in North Point. It's weird; it's one of those home-and-not things Keeliai, even now, throws at him, and while he should really expect them by now, he's always taken by surprise.

He can be found haggling and laughing and joking and just walking around with stars in his eyes. He's a happy dude.

C. [Alex] | Night Market | throughout August | open
It's really odd how much this alien place is familiar to Alex. The night market is familiar enough to bring him a wave of nostalgia, or something like it - a yearning for a time thirty years gone when he was a whole man. It's not a bitter feeling, but one like looking at his own life through glass, as though it were another's.

If he were given to being maudlin, he'd probably let himself be overcome by sadness and regret about how much of his life had been spent dwelling in shadow. But since he's not, he's having a damn great time at the night market. Come say hello!

D. [Miles] | Earth Sector | throughout August | open
It's time to stop being such a sadsack, Miles has decided, so he's actually...outside, walking around during the day, and not acting like a crazy person.

Well, not any crazier than usual.

His camcorder on his hip, he's gone out for a cup of tea. Surely nothing too terrible can happen to him while he's having tea, right?

Oh, God, he's just jinxed it.

E. [Aly] | throughout Keeliai | throughout August | open
Wow, Aly's being cheerful. She likes summer; always has, even if this is a little, ehn, swampy for her tastes. At least she's not being a moody little so-and-so.

And sometimes, someone might be able to find a maned wolf with gazelle horns doggy-paddling in the canals in the Water Sector to cool down, or playing with kedan children in the street. (Any Foreigners just try and pet her, though. See if you draw your hand back with all your fingers.)

Basically, there's a new stray puppy in town.

F. [Gene] | House Spicy Iron Dragon | early August | closed to Pepper
One of the good things about having your own place is that you have your own, well, place, a little bit of privacy to hide from the world, especially when things get too much. Gene's moved to the courtyard, trying to study for his shadow test.

How the hell do you study for a shadow test? Therapy, maybe?

G. [Gene] | Jade Dojo | August 15 | closed to Bakura
"So," Gene says as they're closing up shop for the day. "I've talked to Tony, I've talked to Pepper...I think I'm ready."

H. [Gene] | House Spicy Iron Dragon | July 10 | closed to Tony
[from here]
"That was more than five seconds," Gene says dryly. He knows what Tony means, but it's more fun to be pedantic, and he's pretty sure that Tony expects it of him at this point. "And you'd need something pressing it down to make it a panini, anyway."

Brigid has taken to walking through the Water Sector at random times. The spray from the fountains is welcome, thanks to the sweltering heat. When she sees a maned wolf playing with some of the children, she laughs, and goes to one of the shops, finding a ball.

Taking off her shoes and leaving them to lie to the side, she kicks the ball through the watery spray to the delight of the children. Soon there's an impromptu soccer match to be had. Brigid kicks the ball toward Aly, and lets her take it.

[personal profile] wolfishflame 2017-08-22 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh, hell yeah. Aly romps - dammit, she romps - and jumps around the ball, like a puppy playing with a toy. It rolls past her, and she headbutts it, careful to avoid her horns so she doesn't pop it.

I'm Pele, she thinks to herself. She doesn't want to speak aloud near the kids, since she wouldn't want to scare them.
bostonhowler: (happiness)

[personal profile] bostonhowler 2017-08-23 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
The kids know her and are quite happy to romp with her and the strange horned dog that had appeared. Brigid is happy to play with them for a little while. It's nice to take a break from responsibilities.

Some of the adults around them smile indulgently.

Brigid catches the ball again, and passes it to the kids, kicking water at Aly.

Aly yelps at the sudden splash of water - yikes! She wasn't ready for that! - and hops backwards. She hops into a playful pose, and--

No. Do not. Do NOT--

--wags her tail.

I am a disappointment.

Brigid is taking donations back to the shelter. Not that the businesses won't deliver, but she always wants to give a personal thank you to the proprietors, and to browse the goods they aren't giving to the shelter toward thought of giving back a little in thanks.

She's hauling a load of clothing back to the shelter when she scents someone very dear to her. She walks up behind him and winks at the shopkeeper, before dropping a kiss on Jackie's cheek.

Jackie's been having a great old time, and - oop - he doesn't expect that kiss on the cheek. He laughs before turning to Brigid.

"Hey, you," he says, and grins. "Having fun?"
bostonhowler: (happiness)

[personal profile] bostonhowler 2017-08-23 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
"I am." She sets down her load of clothing and hugs Jackie. Why? Because she can.

"What are you up to?"
jinzhong: (Smirk // chatvert)

[personal profile] jinzhong 2017-08-26 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nothin', really," he says, and shrugs, laughing at the sudden hug. "Just having fun being out.

"You're - uh - you seem happy, too," he says, hugging her back.

To go from Siberia to this damned heat? Not that simple. Even the heat in Wakanda hadn't been this bad.

Bucky finds himself mostly in the Wood Sector, seeking shade and cool shelter from the heat. But even he has to eat. So that's why he's down from the branches of a tree, and headed into cafe, when he hears a lullaby. He doesn't recognize it, not really, but he's curious. He finds the young man humming it and stops. He's intruding and shouldn't be. But a one-armed man stands out.
protivvyter: (eyes)

[personal profile] protivvyter 2017-08-23 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
The one-armed man is hard to miss. Plus, he had been at Tony's birthday party. And probably confounded Tony on more than one occasion.

"It is." Bucky is quiet, almost soft-spoken.

B | Hi Jackie :D

One of those rare occasions Raine drags herself out of house and Guild both, it's still for practical reasons -- the acquisition of various materials she needs, both for the Guild and her own experiments -- but at least it's not technically work.

This will be her defense if anyone inquires about her needing to take time off.

So there's a basket over her arm and a list in her other hand as she goes, and she isn't expecting to run into Jackie, but around the next corner there he is.

...Huh. Has she ever seen him so happy?

Raine tilts her head, then raises the hand with the list in it and waves at him.
jinzhong: (Hoodie // monkeysbananas)

Hi Raine :D

[personal profile] jinzhong 2017-08-22 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Movement out of the corner of his eye catches Jackie's attention, and he turns and waves. It's Raine! He jogs up to her, still grinning.

"Hey! Wasn't sure you'd come out to this," he says.
ruinsprofessor: (it can't be helped)

[personal profile] ruinsprofessor 2017-08-26 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
Up close, Jackie looks even happier. Raine softens, smiles.

"There were things I needed to be out for anyway," she explains. Otherwise she might not have gone for the bustle of people. "Has something good happened?" ...Perhaps he's just happy in general, but she doubts that.
jinzhong: (Smirk // chatvert)

[personal profile] jinzhong 2017-08-26 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not especially," he says, but he still looks radiantly happy. "This just all...reminds me of home. But in a good way, for once."

He sighs and looks around. "The night market was one of the things I really loved. It's good to have something like it back."
ruinsprofessor: (that's a relief)

[personal profile] ruinsprofessor 2017-08-28 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
"This was something common, back in your home?" Raine always has to inquire after homes; it's her nature.

She considers her errands; considers Jackie. "Are you after anything particular here? If not, perhaps you'd care to walk with me? As I said, there are some things I wanted to acquire while I'm here."

Tony shrugs. "Well, it would melt, that's for sure." You're making this so complicated, Gene.

"How's your day? Sorry I missed dinner." Hence the leftovers. At least he's a little better at keeping a consistent schedule than he used to be.

"I'd still eat it," Tony declares, while privately deciding that this is the the only salient point in the argument and he has therefore won it.

"Thinking? About what?" His tone is less flippant now. It's almost... cautious. For Gene, thinking usually comes with a capital 'T', and it doesn't always bode well.

Pepper has been keeping an eye on Gene - or maybe an ear out? Point being, ever since their last talk about kaa and Shadow magic and Shadow tests, she's been wondering if he's made a decision about moving forward or not. He's pensive at least 75% of the time it seems like, so sometimes it's hard to tell if anything's changed.

One thing Pepper does know, brooding on his own is a no-no if she's around to interrupt it (although she'll back off if he'd prefer to be alone). He doesn't look too troubled, so Pepper wanders out to the courtyard, knocking on the side of the house as if he's in a room.

"Hey. Thinking about landscaping or something a little more interesting?"
lasergrenades: (Bu-wha-whuh)

[personal profile] lasergrenades 2017-08-25 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
"I can pretend," she offers, crossing the yard to stand next to him.

"Uh." Pepper blinks at him. "That's a very good question." She takes a moment to think about how she'd prepared; it had involved asking Vee a lot of things, but there was also a specific moment that had assured her ka she would succeed.

"You have to challenge the strongest beliefs you have. About yourself, about other people, because you have to know who you are and what you stand for."
lasergrenades: (logic)

[personal profile] lasergrenades 2017-08-28 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
The look Pepper gives him is uncharacteristically serious. "No one's good at facing the part of themselves they want least to believe is true; not head on, anyway. Shadow tests-- they're about knowing who you are, and accepting that. So," she continues, smiling a not-quite-happy sort of smile, "who is Gene Khan?"

Valdis is patrolling again, but this time with an officer sitting atop Odin. The large, black Kirin seems wary of the giant Hound next to him, but does his best to listen to his rider, a female kedan.

"He's definitely the least nervous of the bunch," the kedan said aloud, "A few more rides and he should feel safer working alongside you."

Just then, Odin caught sight of the strange creature swimming in the water. The Kirin spooked sideways, though his rider easily stayed with him. Valdis turned to see what had scared the animal. She'd never seen a wolf like that before.

Aly? she snorted, recognizing the scent of the girl beneath the scent of maned wolf.
wolfishflame: (Woof // chatvert)

[personal profile] wolfishflame 2017-08-22 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Aly snorted too, practically inhaling water. Goddamnit! How did everyone know? Was she wearing a freakin' collar? Or a neon sign above her head that said 'Yes, I am Aly Haskell, please do not pet'?

She clambered out of the canal and stood, dripping wet. The day she shook herself off was the day she went straight feral. "Uh, hello there," she said.
