[ clothes shopping. ]

[ one look at the kind of clothing offered by the fleet was enough to send loki fleeing for the planet. not that the wares there were much better, but loki can easily adjust and tweak what he needs. there are layers of pants and shirts thrown askew all over the shop, as loki puts on this outfit and checking himself in the mirror. ]

I suppose this is the best one can do.

[ the movie theater ]

[ mortal entertainment. he was passing familiar with it. propping his legs up, he leans back as the movie watching a romantic movie called the notepad and watching as the man continues to manipulate his true love even though she continually rebuffs him. and people complain about loki's machinations. if anyone is sitting nearby, he also casually flicks popcorn into their hair. he's just an asshole. ]

[ knifeplay. ]

[ after stocking up on outfits, loki had to go look for knives. his current ones were missing and left loki feeling particularly vulnerable, even if he has a variety of abilities to keep himself safe. nothing quite beats having a weapon, after all. so he raids any place that sells weapons — even kitchens to find a decent sharp edge he could use as a dagger. with a frown, he tosses the kitchen knife carelessly. ]

Useless. They have no sense of workmanship.

[ wildcard your adventure! ]

[ loki can be found at the library, checking out any records or messing with the rides at the amusement park. if you got stuck, he didn't do it. ]

It's a bad planet for any of the good stuff.

[Out of seemingly nowhere, a short, silver haired teenager walks into the room without looking in his direction. She opens a drawer to look around, eventually pulling out a rolling pin and sticking it in her bag.]

[ He blinks, eyeing her. ]

So I've noticed. If it is a trap, you'd think they'd offer more bait.

Or any at all.

[Fie still doesn't look at him, instead picking out a pair of tongs, eyeing them, and putting them back. Loki may notice the hoodie she's wearing is definitely too big to be her size.

Closing the drawer, she moves on to the next.]

If anything, you might find a blunt object in the amusement park.

Blunt objects are easy enough to find.

[ But Loki's fighting style is quick and efficient. Blunt instruments can't give him that edge. ]

True.

[Well, that drawer's a bust.]

Asking a member of the fleet not an option? Someone might have a miniature armory stored away.

I am new to the Fleet.

[ And notorious. He might cave eventually, but not until Loki has exhausted all options. ]

Besides, who would I ask? It seems like a query that might cast aspersions on me.

[Only now does she glance at him, giving him the once over. And nods.]

Yeah, you do look pretty sketchy.

[Says the girl looting the kitchen goods.]

► 1. Jumpscares (Movie Theater)
[ Jayden finds horror movies to be pretty entertaining. So, hey, why not? She's got a seat near the middle of the theater and a bag full of popcorn, what more does a person need, honestly?

She's expecting the movie to be just some B-movie trash, but as it keeps going, she finds that it's... actually pretty decent! Pleasant surprise. She's following along, paying close attention, getting pretty wrapped up in the mystery...

... And, cue a jumpscare! She only barely even flinches, but it's enough to make her jostle some popcorn into the air in front of her. She blinks a few times, but otherwise just.... sits back in her seat and pretends that didn't just happen. SIGH. That's what she gets for getting invested...

And of course if anyone else is in the theater and manages to jump even more, she's still gonna give an amused little snort at their expense~ But if the didn't, well, she's just gonna keep on pretending she didn't just manage to get that caught up in a movie. Whoops. ]

► 2. Archery Practice (Desert)
[ At first, Jayden was only practicing on cacti. Nothing important. But then, she spotted one of those multi-limbed rabbits. And it was eating a lizard. Violently. ... So she decided to use them for target practice instead.

She's getting much better at using the ornate bow given to her by Alphinaud, but she's far from perfect. She's still new at this, after all. Still, she manages to nail one of the rodent-things in the back, and figures that's at least a partial victory.

What she isn't expecting is a weird blob approaching - an amalgamation of hooves and antlers and oh my God what the fuck is that thing.

She's currently huddled behind a rock, waiting for a good opportunity to take a shot. She does have her shotgun with her if things get too far out of hand, but... it's worth a try, right? ]

► 3. Playground
[ She didn't actually intend to spend time here, but... it just sort of happened. She was going to just walk right by it, but one glance at the abandoned swing set and the dusty and sand-filled tunnel slide made her stop. She's not entirely sure why. ... Okay, she has an idea, but she's not sure she likes it. Still, she can't really help herself.

Way back when, during those damn Calibrations or whatever, there was a picture just like this. She remembers now. A playground, some scattered toys, and she could have sworn it had something to do with everything she can't remember... but nothing solid ever came from it. Just like nothing's coming to her now.

So, here she is, sitting on a swing and looking around, expression unreadable, wondering why the hell she's even here and bothering. ]

(( hit me up with anything else you'd like! ♥

reveris or PM if you wanna discuss. She'll be investigating at the library some, poking around in some of the houses, or "shopping" - mostly for food, but perhaps some clothes. ))

[ He rolls his eyes. ]

That's deliberate.

Mhm. The hair's far from natural.

[Looking beside him, Fie blinks, then moves in his direction.]

Excuse me. [As she start to climb on the counter.]

You have silver hair.

[ His hair is all-natural, rude. ]

Yes, I do. And it's not slicked back.

[Now on the counter, Fie stands and tugs at the curtains, nodding to herself. From hip, under the hoodie, she pulls out a gunsword and begins to slice at the fabric near the top.]

And not cut properly, for that matter.

[ He eyes her weapon briefly before moving on. ]

♦ 1. Gathering Materials! ( aka "shopping" )
[ Escha doesn't have a cauldron yet, but that's not going to stop her from gathering materials for her alchemy!! You'll find her in one of the following places:

→ A gardening center/store, picking out seeds and pots and fertilizers and anything else she might need to start a small garden of her own

→ A grocery store, going down each and every aisle, tossing anything that looks good into her shopping cart. (What's macaroni and cheese? Sounds interesting, let's put it in the basket!)

→ A clothing store, trying on anything remotely cute~ Which, granted, is tough to find when the focus is on such bland colors... but she's trying her best! Oooh, is that a cute coat in pastel rainbow colors?!

→ A hardware store, sifting through nails and screws for any that look like they might be higher quality than the others. She's also going to hit up a cabinet full of flammable materials, and some chemicals near the back that she knows might be handy later... ]

♦ 2. Free time! ( amusement park )
[ Escha has never seen anything like this!!! So odds are, you're going to find her staring up at a rollercoaster, eyes wide a huge smile on her face. Her little tail accessory attached to the back of her belt is wagging excitedly - clearly it's not going to take much convincing to get her to try it!! ]

Oh my gosh... that looks like so much fun!! Is it really okay to go on it...?

♦ 3. Unprepared... ( desert outskirts )
[ Escha may not have her staff with her, but she's got a broom handle! (She just kinda popped the broom part off of the broom... oops??) That should be enough to keep herself somewhat safe, right?

Not so much. She's out in the desert, investigating the cacti and the rocks for anything she might want to take back and examine, when out of nowhere comes a rather vicious-looking snake-with-legs!!! She squeaks as it lunges at her, and she swings that broom handle with all she's got! It's enough to drive the thing back like a golf ball that just got smacked, but apparently it's not going to go down quietly... it slither-limp-waddles its way back over to her, way too quickly for her liking. She screams, but she's not running away!! She's gonna keep swinging at it, and just try not to get bitten!!! If only she had a cauldron by now, she would have made so many healing potions and bombs before coming out her...!

Someone want to help?? She's not in danger of dying, she'll certainly manage somehow, but she is a bit overwhelmed at the moment jfjklksl ]

♦ Wildcard!
(( Open to p much anything! Come at me. ♥ Escha can easily be put anywhere. o/

reveris or PM if you wanna discuss beforehand o/ ))

Your point's disappearing faster than your hairline.

[She finishes her task, reholsters her weapon, and jumps down to the floor, newly acquired fabric in hand.]

I'm quite sure my hairline has a longer life than yours.

( a. it's target practice, probably. )

[The street is quiet, somewhat deserted, aside from the synthetic whirr of a roaming robot zipping its way along the sidewalk. Just minding its own business, innocently working away, until...

...BAM. A blast of energy snipes into what functions as a "head" with startling precision, and the droid rolls to a shuddering stop, short-circuited. A moment of silence passes, and then Messer climbs out of the window of a nearby house, checks around for any danger, and hops down off the roof. He ignores anyone around who isn't clearly a threat and drags the droid into the house like a body he's going to hide.

If followed, those venturing close can see him pull a set of tools from his belt, immediately knocking the bot over and beginning the slow, methodical process of pilfering the parts within the empty home. There's a motor bike with a hitched cart tucked out of the street in the front hall with him, already half-full of parts. Someone's been busy with his assassinations!]

( b. forty minutes or it's free. )

[Once he's satisfied with his bot looting, Messer's driving through the street with the same bike and cart combo, but this time it's full of random supplies, foodstuffs, random bags of clothes or linens- whatever he could find. It's all very utilitarian, nothing luxury, and he doesn't look happy to be doing what he's doing, but he's been outranked and so far nothing appears to have poisoned someone or blown up... yet.

As he passes you by, he slows down, stops, looks you over- then reaches back and grabs something from his collection, handing it over.]

Take this. You'll find a use for it.

[Maybe it's food, because you look thin! Maybe it's tech, because you're a nerd! Maybe it's a coat for your bare-armed ass. It's chilly today, geez. Regardless of the reason (and he offers none up front) Messer is your ~~friendly~~ neighbourhood delivery man. He's very courteous, if to the point. No need to tip.]

( c. eh, be creative. )

[When he's not being a delinquent or a public servant, Messer is lurking around near where the ships or shuttles have docked, or sometimes further in town- watching you, watching anybody, watching the world. Straight up creepin'.

Bug him wherever!]

( a. mad scientists at work )

[You know those bizarrely dangerous little home chemistry sets that used to be sold to kids in the 50s? Mikleo's kind of set up one of those using the Huntress supplies in a district of town where a bunch of food is available, canned or fresh, and he's switching between checking his comm, flipping through what probably might pass for a science textbook, dripping this chemical onto that food sample, and... well, he probably thinks he looks professional, but he's really just messing around- and in at least one attempt, making an actual, literal mess. There might be a fire. Be glad he's a water seraph.

Oh, and for those without resonance, all those floating beakers probably look super weird.]

( b. he definitely wasn't scared )

[So, someone convinced him to go watch a horror movie at the cinema. Who was it? Was it you? Who knows, doesn't matter. He's there, either way. And he endures it for a while! He's very brave. Fought lots of monsters. He makes it a good ways in.

And then...]

I was not scared! It only startled me!

[It's a very bold proclamation for someone who completely decimated the screen during a jump scare. Seriously, it's a disaster- if you go in there's still massive chunks of ice sticking out of the back wall behind the torn screen. Good thing it'll be fixed tomorrow!

Oh, and he does the same thing to one of the roller coasters at the amusement park, so have fun with that.]

( enough is enough )

[Like many others, it doesn't take Mikleo long to be seriously creeped out by this place. So don't be surprised if he's just kinda... following you around... but it's not because he wants to be alone anywhere in this place, no sir.

In other words, wildcard!]

[One of the perks of having gravity powers is that you can make your steps very light if you want to, and Ochako's keen to get good and close to where she's noticed Jayden without her getting up. Not sneaking up on her - Jayden's a soldier, she's not suicidal, yikes - but just close enough to get to a set of monkey bars a few feet back from the swingset, hopping up and noisily starting to travel the length of it.]

Woooow, this is so nostalgic! I haven't done this in years.

[ Aerith spots the girl in the clothing store and pauses for a moment to watch her - the enthusiasm is a little bit addictive and she beams, something bright and happy settling over her before she moves forward. ]

That one's cute!

[ Zaveid is absolutely having the time of his life. Mikleo isn't scared, of course he is, but - he's laughing too loudly for any kind of words to come out and make sense, his hands crossed over his stomach as he creases over. He doesn't even have the control over his limbs to get up and check in on the cinema screen; he's just laughing. ]

Meebo, you just -- you killed the thing -- Mikleo--!!

[ Please, don't murder him like you did the movie. ]

[Mikleo is getting redder and angrier every second that passes where he's still laughing.]

Stop that! You were surprised too, weren't you!? It looked like a hellion!

[ Escha wasn't expecting company, but she isn't worried - especially when she turns to see Aerith beaming almost as much as she is! She just smiles all the more, excited. ]

Oh! You think so, too? I like the colors! I was getting worried that they didn't have anything here that wasn't white or beige... I'm glad I was wrong!

[ She waves to where there are a few more on a rack beside her. ]

You should try one on too!

Sure, but it's not real!

[ He's still snickering, reaching out to nudge Mikleo gently. ]

C'mon, it was kinda funny.
