Grave digger, grave digger | October Catchall
Characters: Pepper Potts, Devin Parker, and you!
Date: Throughout October
Location: Around Keeliai
Situation: The spooky happenings has everyone a little on edge, and Devin is having an especially bad month.
Warnings/Rating: Death, possible mentions of violence and abuse. Will specify as needed.
A. [Pepper] KPD | Throughout October | Open
The uptick in crime doesn't leave the KPD extraordinarily busy, but between the rise in illegal activity and the strange, unsettling things resulting from the odd planar activity, things are definitely more tense. Pepper tries to just focus on work, but occasionally she'll do something slightly odd around her desk, such as tossing grains of salt over her shoulder. She does try to keep the superstitions out of the office, for the most part, but the creepy incidents are more distracting than she'd like. Sometimes, she's actually quite cheerful, and begins decorating some areas of the headquarters as though nothing is amiss.
B. [Pepper] Jade Dojo | Mid October | Bakura
Pepper has taken to spending some nights over at Bakura's apartment lately, complete with having claimed one of his drawers for some of her things. The concerns over the planes thinning hang over most of the city, but nothing explosive seemed to be happening, and really she ought to be more accustomed to ghosts and spectres given who she's dating. Lounging around together under the blankets seems like a good option to distract from anything unsettling, especially as the temperature starts to drop since cold weather is not at all Bakura's favorite.
C. [Pepper] Earth Sector | Mid October | Raine
So, ghosts. Yeah. That's-- that's a thing that's happening. That's a thing that's currently happening to her, along with lots of other people in Keeliai, and it's unsettling and scary and also... kind of amazing, in some ways. She hasn't seen her mother since she was six, and a ghost is still better than nothing, and everyone at the house has something going on, so instead of rambling her panic/excitement at Tony and Gene and Bakura all month, she goes to visit Raine. It's been a little while since they've just hung out, and if anyone can help her find some more calm about this situation, it's her friend. She knocks a little hesitatingly on Raine's door, glancing at the redheaded ghost over her shoulder with a nervous smile.
D. [Devin] Sky Sector | Early October | Open
The chill in the air doesn't both Devin at all; England was cold and misty for no small part of the year. The sudden shift is a bit odd, but that was par for the course in this city as far as he could tell. He spends part of his time continuing with his mapping routine, and while he's at it he considers more seriously where he might move to. Devin has very few possessions, so one of the smaller lodgings made available to Foreigners would be ideal. He's more aloof and even irritable, avoiding extended conversations and familiar faces.
E. [Devin] Metal Sector | Mid October | Open
Devin returns to the Metal Sector to test his memory of the streets partway through the month. The tension in the city is evident wherever he goes, and while he's not immune to it, routine has always helped. That is, of course, until he spots two faces he hasn't seen in over a century, and his blood runs cold. He stops abruptly as their attention turns to him, frozen in what can only be described as fear. This is dread he doesn't even know how to hide - so he runs, darting away in a blur and only halting when he's half a sector away and hidden in an alleyway.
F. [Devin] Turtle's Head | Mid-Late October | Open
His family hasn't ceased haunting him no matter where he goes, and now it's all five of his siblings as well as his parents. The sense of calm at the turtle's head helps a little, but Devin keeps away from anyone else who's there, finding as secluded an area as he can. He's shaken in a way he hasn't felt in years and years, and he's giving very serious consideration to leaving the city altogether in an effort to distance himself from it's inhabitants and battle with his panic in peace. If anyone decides to interrupt the spectres currently following Devin with abusive, personal diatribe, they should be prepared to deal with a nasty vampire. See: cornered animal.

"Hey! Sure, why not," she replies, holding out a roll of ribbon. There's a stack of other decorations on Pepper's desk. Then, slightly sheepish: "It's a slow day at the office. How's it going? Tea shop busy with the chilly weather?"
no subject
"Do you want it to be busy? Because I can go do something illegal if you want," she offers jokingly before nodding.
"Yeah, it has been lately." Today is her day off, but she still checks in. "The weather is affecting everyone one way or another." Which may explain why the station is slow today. She holds up the ribbon.
"So, where should this go, and is that stool safe?"
no subject
She assesses the rest of the room, considering places empty of decoration. "Pretty much anywhere along the walls. There's more detailed stuff after the ribbon - I wish we had fake spider webbing. And yes," she adds, amused. "The stool is safe. One of the legs is just a little shorter than the others. No idea why, it's just always been like that."
no subject
"Yeah, the fog is weird, but I kind of like it." She shrugs. "Probably my ninja upbringing." She makes a face. "Though, the chill in the air doesn't help if you get a cold."
Sheena follows Pepper's gaze and she picked a likely spot to start putting up the ribbons. She turns and gives the redhead a curious look. "Do you want full-size spider webs, or the clumpy, dusty kind you find in corners and ruins?" She has no idea how to do the former, but the latter...she has a notion or two.
Peeking down at the stool, she raises her eyebrows in mild disbelief. "Well, if you say it's safe, I believe you. But it kind of makes you wonder why someone would leave it that way, doesn't it?"
no subject
Pepper offers a vague shrug, like she's not sure why the potential safety hazard has remained in circulation. "Probably because no one's gotten hurt yet, but maybe I'll put this one in the trash later. And I was thinking the dusty, clumpy kind - makes you think ancient and spooky and mysterious. Easier to clean up, too, and harder to walk into. Why, do you think you could make something that looks like that?"
no subject
Shaking her head, Sheena chuckles at the response about the stool. "Or they thought to fix it, and just forgot about it," she offers as another explanation. "Easiest way would be to trim the other legs. It'll be shorter, but it'll still work." She sees no sense in throwing the stool out if it can be saved.
Looking up at the wall, she tilts her head. "Yeah. I think so--with cotton balls or something similar--and a brush."
no subject
The redhead considers Sheena's suggestion, and nods. "That's a good idea, actually. Dunno if we've got a saw laying around, but there's gotta be a carpenter who can fix it without having to pay an arm and a leg." She beams at the replacement spider web idea. "You know, I wouldn't have thought of that, but that'd totally work. I'll have to go shopping so you can work some magic."
She sounds very pleased about this task.
no subject
The ninja beams and shakes her head. "If there's a custodian's office here, he may have something we can use." Or even the custodian himself. "It shouldn't cost that much. Or, I can work on it while you go shopping." She looks around. "I might have a few other ideas while you're gone.
Such an enabler.
