Day 346- Day 352: OPEN

Who: Everyone in the Bastion
Open: Open
When: 346-352
Where: The Bastion in general
What: This is the calm before the storm. Any last conversations with NPCs? Any last things to take care of? Do them here.
Format: action
Warnings: none so far


When you make a thread in this post, please put the names of the NPCs you want to respond in the header of the first comment.

As a note, this is also your last chance to make any changes that will affect how endgame begins. All things that help or hurt the Bastion residents will be tallied up on September 18th, and the final post will go up shortly after that. So if you want to catch the thief, form any alliances with other NPC groups, or anything else, now is the time to do it.

ota + npcs, individual starters to come

[She spends more time in the training room than usual, beating at dummies and offering herself as a sparring partner until anxiety, always stronger than exhaustion, forces her to move on. Somehow, she manages to spend more time than usual in the pool, too, racing laps back and forth until her nerves settle and her muscles refuse to move anymore.

It may not have been thought possible, but Aoi has even more energy in her than usual. She has to be everywhere, do everything, and so she's guaranteed to be scurrying somewhere about the Bastion at every point of the day, trying to get something, anything, done. Mostly, though, she concerns herself with the other residents: if it's not hey, what are you up to, can I help it's how are you holding up, to ever, anyone and anyone at all.

dragonsorcsandwolves: Rob's shiny Squirtle (Kresh)

[While Aoi's in the midst of laps, she gets a visitor. Rob's shiny Squirtle has wandered off and decided to check out this building with a strange but vaguely familiar smell coming from it. It wanders in and looks around. A lake inside a building? Well this is rather nice. It comes over to the edge and jumps in to swim and Oh Arceus what is this this isn't water!?

Enjoy that howl of betrayal out of nowhere as the Squirtle discovers the horrors of chlorinated pool water and frantically tries to swim to the edge, only to find that the lip of the pool is both too high above the water's surface and too slippery for it to climb out of.]

At the training room?

... Good afternoon, Aoi.

[Megaera can't help but chuckle as she walks in. This is probably one of the only times Aoi's seen Megaera not wearing her dress, gloves, and boots; she's instead wearing a fairly standard training robe - her chest is even bound back, and her hair tied a little. Not a proper ponytail, just a few well-placed ties.]

Hrm. Tell me, what kinds of martial training do you have?

[It actually takes her a second to even recognize Meg, though that's one part the trouble she has breaking her focus, though. She pauses punching a dummy to grin at her.]

Hey, Meg! [One last hit before she actually stops, though, and faces Megaera.] Um... Not any, actually... It's all just kinda stuff I picked up from being on the Skyway so much.

[Seems like a lot of us have the same anxieties on our minds...and a good few of us, the same approaches to it.]

[Ikuri may have bumped into Aoi once or twice over the last...week?...or so, though she probably wasn't in a frame of mind to be especially talkative. Either terseness or shyness had been the response at any given time, and rarely anything other; on a couple of occasions, Ikuri had even retreated from Aoi before any real conversation could happen.]

[More recently, though, with the feeling of the approaching storm becoming ever sharper...]


[She's more than happy to offer herself for training and sparring alike, whatever she can help you with. On the other side of the coin, she may have asked you for a thing or two as well - most notably, instruction in the fine art of swimming. Ikuri has the physique (naturally) and quite possibly the intuition, but formal guidance couldn't hurt.]

[With all that said, she may have been evasive and close-mouthed about how exactly she was feeling up to this point. Would today be the day that changed?]
