Notes: I'm putting headers under the cut in the main post here, feel free to respond to any of them, just put the date (and location, if necessary) in the subject of your comment so I know where we're going with this :) You can answer in prose or actionspam, I'm okay with either!

April 8
[Wow, that quarantine thing fucked Logan right up. He's hidden in a side alley of Atam, praying no one sees him, sure he's going to die. Did they give him some kind of poison? What if "quarantine" was just a pretty euphemism? He doesn't know any other explanation for why he wants to throw up, why he can't breathe, and why his heart won't stop pounding or slow down. It's like there's a rabbit in his chest, battering his ribcage to get out.]

[He closes his eyes and leans his head against the wall, clutching his knees tightly, shaking like a leaf. Just let me die here, he thinks. Let it be done with.]

[Strangely enough, he hasn't heard the Crawler hissing in his ear nearly so much as usual, since he got onto land, but he's been too panicky to really notice.]

April 9
[Logan remains in Atam, exploring the city and trying not to piss anyone off too much. He suspects the way to not get in fights is to be deferential and be as little intrusion as possible, but he's a king, dammit 8|]

April 10-13
[Logan has fled back to Tu Vishan, with no interest at all in trying to get back to Atam. He did bring a small sword with him, and he can occasionally be found in the Metal district, getting a feel for it wherever there's enough space.]

[ Inara is as equally stressed out by the quarantine episode as Logan is, though she is a bit more skilled in handling trauma. She has been dealing with the terminal nature of her disease for a little over a year now, and to be so coldly reminded, Inara is shaken.

She's not so distracted that she doesn't notice a figure trembling in the alley, though.

She pauses in her walking and looks closer, eyes peering. ]

Logan? Is that you?

[Mavis is on the hunt for scream cheese. There's no hope of finding it here, but she's been searching for something familiar the more that the kedan side-eye her and treat her like some terrible monster. (And just when she'd been thinking that people liked monsters.)

She stops when she sees him, staring curiously from beneath the shaded safety of her oversized parasol.]

What are you doing with that?

[Mavis knows the difference between a sword and a pitchfork, but that doesn't mean that he couldn't use it like one...]

[ Marius is on the way to Cosette's when a series of chance and unfortunate events—avoiding two groups of delinquents about to wage war on the other, but stepping right into the path of a bicycle; assisting the wounded and highly irritated kedan to the nearest clinic; the kedan's wife chasing him down for daring to harm her husband; several wrong turns—sends him to the Metal Sector.

He stares in astonishment at the strange, almost unearthly structures and modern technology, the sector's bright, flashing lights reflecting in his eyes. What magic the future holds, to construct a world beyond his imagination! If Cosette could see this, how would she react? Would she be delighted, or as disbelieving as he? Lost in his thoughts he almost does not see the Logan, and he jumps with a start when he does. Thankfully, he has stopped at a safe distance, but he still feels the urge to say, ]

Monsieur, pray be careful with that sword.
