Training Log 01: Shiny new powers

It's been a day- or something similar to it. After all, time seemed to be a weak thing here. But it's long enough that the pounding in his head from the attack under the Founation is... manageable. His ribs still ache, but he's not going to let that stop him- if Rei needed them to fight, then he would fight. Especially since he now remembered HOW to fight- a weak memory that came with a few other things. Like that fact that he might be royalty(?), but more useful was his skills with a weapon.

So he goes hunting for a big open area- and every other Executor he sees he mentions his intention: to train and test out these new powers. Eventually he finds what he's looking for: what probably was supposed to be a park, though it was slightly twisted like everything else here. But it was open enough that he probably wouldn't hit any non-combatants. A quick switch to his Executor uniform, massive black armor with a fur lined cloak, and he spins his bone spear like an expert.

How strange to have this knowledge but almost no context. Well, it is what it is. He wonders if any of the others will join him?

[ once things are winding down for the day, or what approximates the end of the "day" here in Limbo, something occurs to Magnum Opus that she didn't really consider yesterday while she was still in a daze. she hesitates a moment, and then speaks up — not loud, but certainly louder than her usual voice, enough to be heard by anyone nearby. ]

We... live here now, don't we? [ she considers her wording. ] Or... we don't live, but...

[ they're staying here for the foreseeable future, is what she means. even though they're dead, they still have to go through all the motions of everyday life, including returning somewhere at night to sleep. in all the chaos of yesterday, they didn't sit around to have these kinds of conversations. she looks around at everyone gathered in the park and wonders aloud: ]

Where is everyone going home to...? [ the town is fairly large, so they could wind up quite scattered if they just wander off alone. it would probably take a while to gather everyone up again. ] Should we meet up tomorrow morning too? There's, um, the coffee bar...

[ ... she doesn't do very well with being the centre of attention, so once she's put that topic up for conversation, her voice peters out and looks down at her feet. ]

( OOC | this is also a general mingle thread where you're free to threadhop and branch off into separate conversations! it's mostly just for characters to chat about where they're all living, if they want to live together, make plans to keep in contact, etc. go wild )
emberserker: Moody and sad. (sighhhhhhhh)

We ought to at least check out that hotel. I hope it isn't too subpar.
mementomoritz: good day (good friends)

[personal profile] mementomoritz 2020-08-07 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
I've been staying in the library! [That's... nice???] There's a pretty big gap behind one of the bookshelves in the biological science section, way in the back, so I built a fort behind it.

[Medic you're sixteen, you can't live in a blanket fort... who the fuck am I kidding, that sounds great, hashtag unlife goals.]

Meetings sound like a good idea! That way we know how everyone's doing, and if anyone interesting died.
alcahest: (and the table it ran away a bloody mess.)

[personal profile] alcahest 2020-08-07 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ uh, wait a second. Magnum Opus didn't know she had some kind of "adult surrounded by teenagers" alarm but it just went off. ]

You're staying in the library? Don't you want somewhere better to sleep...?
mementomoritz: that someone is me (did somebody say science?)

[personal profile] mementomoritz 2020-08-07 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[She blinks, looking confused.] Why? It's really comfy!

I have a lot of cushions, and it's very quiet, so sleeping isn't any trouble.

[personal profile] phantasmagorial 2020-08-13 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I stay at the library sometimes as well! But I don't think it matters all that much where you end up staying. The Specters don't seem to mind wherever you end up sleeping.

[ She says this as if it's reassuring, which is pointedly isn't. ]
alcahest: (because true rings only.)

[personal profile] alcahest 2020-08-16 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't really worried about the Specters... [ they're harmless. there's no reason they can't simply settle where they like. but leaving these girls to sleep in places like the library strikes her as somehow lonely. ]

Don't you want a home...? I know we're not alive, so maybe... it doesn't matter...

[ she's mumbling, dejected, and she visibly wilts as she trails off. that thought makes her heart sink. yesterday, she doubts that it would have bothered her at all. she would have slept anywhere without thinking about it, like a doll placed on a shelf. but she remembers Saint-Germain and his mansion; the vague, warm feelings connected to it that she can't quite reach but wants to; an emptiness attached to the thought of simply lingering in a convenient place without any meaning to it. articulating that is beyond her abilities right now. ]
phantasmagorial: (OP | lost)

[personal profile] phantasmagorial 2020-08-16 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
... Ah...

[ Something about the way she says that makes Rei's stomach feel as though it's started to freeze over. She'd been so wired, getting herself caught up in thoughts of fighting and progress that she'd forgotten there were going to be times when the fighting was done.

She'd contented herself with being alone and untethered because she didn't have much of a choice otherwise. But now... ]


... No. You're right. I just... I've been here on my own for so long, I'd forgotten that I don't have to be anymore. And if we're all going to stick together... then it might be fun to find somewhere to be our home.

It would probably be safest to have everyone living...staying relatively close together.
crisantemo: (or a hundred years)

[personal profile] crisantemo 2020-08-07 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
I've found some abandoned houses, though they aren't in disrepair or anything. Maybe we could stay in something like that? Even if it's only a few people to a house, we would still all be nearby.

[Lowkey implying she just... didn't sleep last night. House-hunting is srs business.]

A meeting sounds good, though. Best we try to keep in contact with each other.

The coffee bar seems a good meetup spot!

As for sleeping. Eh. There's some trees outside and it's not like anyone's gonna care if I plop down there right?

[Someone please discourage Brainiac from doing this.]
schardynfreude: (so wash it all away)

[personal profile] schardynfreude 2020-08-13 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...I doubt sleeping in a tree is more comfortable than a bed if beds are available.
pride_of_amarcia: (Interested)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-15 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, comfort's neat and all, but being able to wake up and get right back to it's great, too!
schardynfreude: (with all things you love)

[personal profile] schardynfreude 2020-08-15 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
You mean you'll simply just...get up and train until you pass out under a tree? That won't do. Comfort's neat, gods above. You'll get a crick in your neck that way.
pride_of_amarcia: (Ah-hah!)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-18 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
... Sounds like you were older than me, because I've been doing that for a few days now, noooo problem!

[Oof, Brainiac. Oof.]
schardynfreude: (with all things you love)

[personal profile] schardynfreude 2020-08-18 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[I MEAN NOT WRONG BUT STILL] Goodness me, do I really come off as that old to people?

Still, if the option for comfort is available, why not take it?
pride_of_amarcia: (Confidence)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-19 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmm. I mean, I guess? But for me, it's also the option for convenience! And it's not like anyone cares if I sleep in the middle of a park, sooooo....
schardynfreude: (with all things you love)

[personal profile] schardynfreude 2020-08-19 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I...suppose not, but would it not also be convenient to have facilities to utilize? [A bathroom, for one. A kitchen.]
pride_of_amarcia: (Light Smile)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-20 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
... I mean, I usually just carry ready-to-eat food with me. Though I guess toilets are nice, true.

I guess I could roll with the hotel, then... I mean, it's less time per day to practice but.
schardynfreude: (so wash it all away)

[personal profile] schardynfreude 2020-08-22 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Surely you wouldn't spend every minute of the day training.
pride_of_amarcia: (Confidence)

[personal profile] pride_of_amarcia 2020-08-26 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I mean, not quite obviously. Gotta eat, hit the toilet, and all that!

But mostly.
