A - Sing Your Heart Out [Talent Competition | a set day after the 4th]

[When she initially signed up, it was to be a partner act with Freyja, however, the younger girl's departure of the Fleet makes that idea a no go. She briefly considers withdrawing her name, but quickly casts that thought aside: she owes her friend, and more importantly, herself to keep going. Solo isn't something she's done seriously in a long time, but it's a good way to test the waters again. For the first time in a while, Kaname actually feels nervous.

Backstage, before she goes on, she smiles at whomever might have come there to wish her luck, the anxiety and excitement evident in her expression.]

Let's see what I've got. [Any conversations are short lived. With the announcer's introduction, the leader of Walküre steps out into the spotlight, new outfit acquired for the occasion. A brief introduction of her own and a few words of her own follow, before she begins.

Two songs are sung, one more upbeat than the other, coupled with some dancing. By the end, she's smiling in a way she hasn't since her arrival. The thrill of performing for a large crowd isn't one she'll ever be over. With a bow and wave, she makes her way off stage to meet her support, still grinning from ear to ear. And later, she's available to talk to anyone who was watching from the audience.]

B - Vacation Gotta Get Away [R&R on Sandy Shores or Tropical | random times]

[The sandy shores of the system remind her so much of Ragna, the planet she calls home, it stands to reason she'll be spending a lot of time there. Some days are spent walking the beaches, sun bathing, swimming, or even just sitting and doing nothing. Short and light shirts, or a swimsuit seem to the preferred dress here, and Kaname is happy to oblige.

One thing she won't stop is her search for a jellyfish food. It's a Ragnan thing.]

C - Support Group [Cheering! | whenever]

[Kaname will always make time for her supporting her friends, and this system is definitely no exception. Be it running, shooting, fighting, even playing cards, she's there to support them. During the high energy events, it's possible to even hear her calling their names in encouragement. The teams don't matter much to her, it's the people participating that get her attention.]

Come on, you've got this!

[Hopefully it's more motivating than distracting.]

D - Missing Something [Your choice! | pick a day]

[Be it resting, shopping, grabbing a bite, or visiting another area of the system, she's all over the place. Anything is fair game.]

((ooc; feel free to reply to more than one prompt if it strikes your fancy!))

[ Alisha had been watching - and while she had heard Kaname's singing before, it'd been the first time that she had seen her perform alone. She's impressed, to say the least. It's not hard to see that Kaname is passtionate about singing while she's on stage (though, she had known beforehand) - so much so that Aisha can't help but admire her all the more.

When she sees her after performing, Alisha offers a soft smile. ]

Your singing was lovely.

[He'd heard Kaname singing in the gym that one time when they'd first properly met, but that hardly at all prepared him for this. Lance is awestruck at her performance; seeing her up there like that is a treat for the eyes and the ears alike. She fits so easily into the role of idol, it's almost hard to believe.

When the performance is over, he rushes to meet her.]

Holy crow, Kaname, that was incredible!

[The contest is still going on, though Kaname's made her way to the lower side of the stage near the audience. They're able to talk because apparently pantomiming counts as a talent here.]

Thank you. [She's still smiling from the feeling of it all.] I'm glad you came.

[His reaction is a welcome one, and she can't help but laugh happily.]

I'm glad you think so. It's been a long time since I've performed solo.

[She brushes some hair out of her eyes.]

I hope you get the chance to see all of Walkure perform some time. We're much better as a group.

a) what is this relaxation you speak of? is it edible

[Anyone who knows Messer (or at least knows his secret) ought to know that staying calm and composed is key. He has plenty of things to do that are active and combat-related - practicing hand to hand, weaponry, firing down targets - but the soft, nostalgic feel of this planet, its natural aspects and especially the glorious waters, have him more inclined to just... chill. As such, he's found himself a touristy list of relaxing things to try. At some point during the course of the planet visit, one might find him:

-sitting at the edge of a dock by the water, fishing

-going through a series of yoga-esque poses on a mat in the sand

-half-napping under a beach umbrella

-letting a group of small alien children bury him in the sand

If you catch him in a really good mood (which is surprisingly easy here) he might even join in some other beach-related activity. Volleyball? Swimming? Some other sports or shenanigans? Hell, he might even smile. So weird.]

b) how many guns does a man need exactly

[When he's not being weirdly chill at the beach, he's off to the shopping district, specifically to look at weaponry. His focus is on guns, since that's his specialty, but far be it for him to be too picky considering all he has right now is a crappy laser pistol and a bunch of hunting knives. He looks weirdly okay with the team colours, for some reason, more interested in the quality of weapons as he examines them.]

c) why didn't you just go into the pizza business

[HEY GUESS WHAT HIS RATINGS SUCK SO HE'S KINDA BROKE

He's working as a delivery man again, motor scooter and all, but this time he's getting paid for it. (It's to afford for all the guns, you see.) Beep beep goes the horn as he passes by- he doesn't want to run anybody over, after all. But hey, Fleet members might be able to hitch a ride if they ask nicely.]

d) this is the wildcard option

[hit me with your rhythm stick]

I'm grateful that I had a chance to come see you on stage. [ There's a thoughtful pause at that. ] Though, this is the first time I've actually seen performances quite like this.

《 Vendors 》

[For the first few days Cas is midnighting as...a hot dog salesman. Yes he is, actually; still in the tie and everything, though he's at least rolled up his sleeves. He needs money, they'll pay him money, he's done this kind of stuff before...it all works out.

So if you happen to come by you might see a bedraggled tax accountant telling an alien,] I hope your preferred recreational athletics group is successful in their endeavor. Good game, [and give them a very awkward thumbs up while handing over their purchase. He's so enthusiastic! Even tries for a high-five now and then...or a high-whatever-appendage they happen to have.]

《 Libraries/Museum Sites 》

[Of course, about a week in Cas finds out that Sam is missing, and despite being reassured that he's probably just 'home' or 'on the Marvisa' or whatever, Castiel is still going to be aggressively searching for him in all the typical nerd spots that Sam would usually hang out in.

He could just be where people say he is...or he could be kidnapped, and considering the Winchester track record (Sam's in particular) that second option is way too likely to ignore.

So cue Cas storming into and out of various libraries, stalking through nature walks and parks, ignoring all the nice statues and plays and plaques in favor of picking through bushes, looking for a clue like a shred of cloth or a spot of blood, wearing the face of a being ready to rain down some wrath if he finds what he's looking for.]

a) bloodsport, first week

[Hey crewmmates, he's on the lookout for Aerith. Have you seen her?? God, Zack, keep track of your girlfriend.]

b) what's up beaches

[Zack's been a bit squirrely about being seen shirtless since his arrival, but within a few weeks of arrival, he's out and about in all his bare glory- showing off some shiny new tattoos that conveniently cover up the collection of scars that decorate his chest and back. He looks damn pleased and proud of them, too.

Because he now has something fun and colourful to show off, he's spending a lot of time on the local beaches: swimming, messing around in the sand (is that a giant sand mako reactor? heck yeah it is), playing some sports, challenging poor bystanders to swordfights with folded beach umbrellas. General silliness, basically.

He's here to have fun, so prepare to be dragged into something if he happens to notice you.]

c) what's that hot and cold song again

[From the beaches to the peaks! Or whatever counts as one, anyway. Zack's off the the snow area to try his hand (and feet) at snowboarding again! It's been a few months, so he'll probably fall down a lot, but it's fun and he's enjoying the temperature shift, so whatever. Eventually he'll get good at this! He can do anything he puts his mind to!

Until then it's a good thing he's durable.

When not boarding or rolling in the snow, he's going to go warm up in the hot springs or get himself some cocoa out of the cold. What do you mean there's a spa here!? Is it good!? He's never done that before...]

d) wildest of the cards

[It's Zack, so he'll pretty much go anywhere and do anything. Let's have fun, shall we?]

「 Hunting 」

[Oooooh he's waited for this.

The second Sorey hears about legal hunting grounds, he's getting all his weapons and making a beeline right for it. He picks up a brochure along the way of the edible species and how to prepare them, even buys a few arrows in various team colors, and does his best to get lost in the woods for like six days. Don't look for him. He's having the time of his life.

(Please look for him, text him, my god, this idiot boy)]

「 Engineering - Geeking Out 」

[After his brief foray as a wild man, Sorey takes the time to sight-see, particularly where these awesome solar panel structures are located. He tries to wheedle his way into seeing some of their guts, though he seems perfectly happy to marvel at them, too.

If he sees anybody else gazing appreciatively he won't hesitate to strike up a conversation, pointing up at the towering glass structures.] Isn't this so cool? Integrating it with nature like this...! I love it!

There you are! [Jogs over and grabs Zack's arm, giving him a little tug.] There's a team tournament that's gonna start in the skyscraper square. They're taking signups until sundown, come fight with me.

Really? They don't have stage performances in your world? [Kaname actually finds that hard to believe, of all things here.]

[Oh man, he might be a mountain boy but he's missed having a decent beach. Even though this one is way more crowded than Costa del Sol, it's still nice and there's a surfboard rental place and Cloud's gonna try his hand at that. It can't be that different from snowboarding, right? Totally.

He passes by Kaname and...stops. Considers. Heads back, holding his board up balanced atop his head, and calls out to her on his approach.] Hey, Kaname. Come surfing with me.

[Kaname's performing, so of course Messer is there. Front row. Off to the side, though, to avoid getting in the way of her experiencing the crowd of new fans; he's not often in the audience, usually supporting her from the back in his Siegfried, fending off enemies, setting up shields or synthetic dancers for the group. Here, it's safe, but he still can't help playing the bodyguard, planted firmly in a spot where he can watch her and the front part of the crowd to make sure no one does anything untoward. He's dressed up in her colours, of course, and while he's not dancing, singing along (though he knows all the words), or jumping about... his foot is tapping a bit. Outsiders can't tell by his expression, but he's delighted. And when she finishes her set, he claps louder and longer than anyone around him.

It's really wonderful to see her happy, especially with Freyja gone.]

[Mikleo's poking around one of the local libraries, because of course he is, and he's just innocently perusing the bookshelves when some scruffy looking fellow storms by, and they nearly collide as Mikleo hadn't expected him to be moving quite that fast. He jerks back, startled, hiding his book behind his back so it doesn't appear to be floating.]

Ah- watch it!

[Not that he expects to be heard, he's just annoyed. Who stomps around in a library?]

[hey guess what, he doesn't need to look for this idiot boy, because he's right there beside him, perched in a tree just above where Sorey is creeping. All's quiet for a while as they wait, and wait, and wait...

....aha. Quietly he slides out of the tree, dissolving into light halfway down and zipping into Sorey's body to keep silent.]

See that? To your left, in the grass.

Sorry, [Cas says hurriedly, very clearly stepping around Mikleo as he rounds the corner.

.......and then comes back just a minute later. Maybe he should be asking people if they've seen Sam. Pokes head around bookcase to ask,] Have you spent a considerable amount of time haunting these libraries?

[bcuz ur a spirit n all]

Yeah, [Sorey murmurs, not even surprised that a) Mikleo went looking for him and b) Mikleo found him. They kind of have a direct link to each other and all.

Sorey nocks an arrow as silently as possible, holding the bow low and down as he waits for the bipedal bird-thing to shift into a more favorable position as it pecks at the ground. He does grin a little, giving Mikleo a mental nudge in greeting. Figures.]

We do have festivities and celebrations, but nothing quite like this.

[ There's so many difference between her world and everyone elses's, it seems. ]

[g a s p his eyes practically light up, which is saying something when they already glow.]

Hell yeah! What kind of fight is it, do you know?

[...Wow he actually saw him. The lingering surprise on Mikleo's face is obvious- he'd honestly thought it was a coincidence or something.]

Haunti- I'm not a ghost.

Team tournament with an even/odd bracket setup, depending on the number of entries. Doubles. [Draws a tournament bracket in the air.] We gotta get our weapons inspected, since there's no firearms or projectiles allowed, but otherwise it's free-for-all.

[Impatiently, because he doesn't really have the time to explain 2 u the nature of your existence, gosh,] Yes yes, I know, you're an elemental spirit. Water, I'm guessing. Do you frequent these establishments?

[The nudge is returned, though gently, to avoid distracting Sorey from his shot. If they were armatized he'd be the one aiming, but Sorey has plenty of skill on his own, so his only involvement is a ripple of tension passing through him when an opportune moment to fire is noticed.]

[WHAT THE SHIT HOW DOES HE KNOW THAT]

I don't- ...no. I just arrived recently with everyone else. Who are you?
