Day 123 [OPEN]

Who: Everyone
Open: Open
When: Day 123
Where: All over the Bastion
What: Obligatory "We just got more people/survived a hellish experience" mingle log!
Format: Your choice!
Warnings: Shouldn't be any?

[So the past few days in the Bastion have been very hectic and a little more than emotionally stressful for everyone. About two days have come and gone since the last very large batch of arrivals have come in to the Bastion, and thankfully since then it's been relatively quiet. It's a good time to compress, meet some new people and maybe have some good food at the distillery courtesy of Rin.]

[Rin can usually be found one of three places - her apartment, the onsen or the Distillery. Today is no different, and she's back in her usual place in the kitchen. It is, of course, one of the few things that keeps her sane. When nothing else about life in the Bastion makes sense, working with food still does.

So if anyone needs her, or wants to ask about the food or just feels like talking to a half demon brat who just happens to know how to cook really damn well that would be the place to go.]

[Hey Rin, you've got a cautious engineer knocking on the doorframe of the kitchen. He's got a handful of shards, and he's smiling faintly.]

Hey, knock knock.

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-10-31 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Come in~

[Rin's call is far more cheerful than she's been sounding lately. Maybe she won't be so angry today?]
freedom_engineer: (Listening)

[personal profile] freedom_engineer 2013-10-31 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can hope, right? He'll step in.]

Thanks.

So... uh... I need to apologize. Again. ... Only, and I don't mean this meanly... I don't know what I said last time. I set you off, and I don't know why.
hellpyre: (pic#6436002)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-10-31 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. It's him.

Amazingly Rin doesn't scowl upon his entering, but any of her cheerfulness does fade rather quickly. She was in the middle of cutting some vegetables, so her motions didn't stop until she was actually finished with the batch on the wooden cutting board. She pushed them off with the knife in to the cooking pot she had set next to it before finally turning, cleaning the knife off on her apron.]


... thank you. And... I'm sorry, too. I was upset and took it out on you.

[She turned her eyes down to the knife, rubbing at a single spot for several seconds longer than was needed.]

I think I took what you said wrong.
freedom_engineer: (curious)

[personal profile] freedom_engineer 2013-10-31 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Can I ask what you thought I said?

I've been replaying the conversation several times, and, well... I'm not the most observant in social situations. Which does not help me in new situations, I realize.

[He'll keep his distance for the moment. No need to crowd her. Especially not with his track record.]
hellpyre: (Default)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-10-31 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rin was never good at admitting when she was wrong. She was terribly stubborn like that, and with a sister like Yuki who was always right even stupid mistakes like that were hard to backpedal on.

But bless her, she's trying.]


... when you said 'I've taken worse' I thought you meant--

[Really trying.]

It sounded like you were tryin' to say you've had it harder than me.
freedom_engineer: (Introspective)

[personal profile] freedom_engineer 2013-10-31 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... OH!

Oh heavens, no wonder!

[That gets a loud laugh out of Colin]

No, no, I was trying to tell you that your... Wait, no, I'm saying this wrong.

[He gets a look of momentary frustration and huffs, lifting his hand to tap his chin briefly]

I mean... Lemme try this. I spend more time on the hypernet dealing with tough guys, trolls, and self-important blowhards than I spend working every day. I've got a thick skin. You can insult me all you want, and it'll roll off me like water off of a swan.

Does that make sense? I just meant that I can take it.
hellpyre: (Default)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-10-31 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
... oh.

[Well that makes a hell of a lot more sense now. But it also means Rin was way more off than she previously thought, and her cheeks flush red as she fumbles for something appropriate to say.]

Y-yeah well only an idiot would invite people to insult him!

[Nailed it.]

freedom_engineer: (Humorous)

[personal profile] freedom_engineer 2013-11-01 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[That was unexpected. And amusing. Colin almost has to bite his lip to keep from laughing, and even then, he chortles quietly, covering his mouth.]

Careful, Rin-Rin. You start tossing me softballs like that, and I'm gonna have to start pranking you.

[He lowers his hand from his face and he offers her a grin.]

Barring stupid mistakes on my part, you think we'll be able to put this behind us? Because I might have something a little more important than that to discuss with you.

[He lifts his hand and starts rolling a pair of shards over his knuckles. Or rather, he tries, and fails, sending the shards clattering noisily to the ground. This causes him to gape at his hand, then curse in an alien language as he bends over to recover the shards]

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-11-01 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Tch! Assface!

[You're on the ball tonight, Rin. Really.

She lets out her own huff, cheeks puffing out in irritation. You really bring out the tsun in her, Colin. She sees the shards fall though and rolls her eyes, going to help him pick them up.]


... yeah. I guess we can put it behind us.
freedom_engineer: (Tired)

[personal profile] freedom_engineer 2013-11-01 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh... this can't come soon enough.

I need someone good with a kitchen, you see.

[He takes the shards back and sighs, moving to sit with his back to a cupboard]

I've got enough shards, I think... to take care of my problem. I'm going to introduce a fruit tree to this place. It should give me the caffeine I need.

But... I need to roast the seeds of the fruit before I can powder them. To say nothing of hopefully being able to blend a smoothie from it... But the smoothie is optional. The seeds are NOT...
hellpyre: (pic#6436003)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-11-01 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Rin stayed where she was after the shards were picked up, arms draped over her knees with no real care that she was in a long skirt. Not very lady like, this one.]

... you can get caffeine from fruit?

[Also... not that smart.]

[Roxas has spent most of his time thus far in Bastion hanging around the hospital keeping an eye on Axel, but a guy's gotta eat. And at some point maybe a guy gets curious about the cooking which actually seems sort of familiar.

He pokes his head into the kitchen and-- is familiar still the right word if one thing in particular is drastically different?]


Uh...
hellpyre: (pic#6307887)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-10-31 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, Roxas. She hasn't noticed you yet. Tail swaying, humming to herself as she works, she's a bit wrapped up in what she's doing and a small noise like that isn't going to get her attention.]
coolerthansora: (but if x equals y...)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2013-10-31 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Um... Hello?

[Roxas steps into the kitchen now, puzzling over whether to just say hi or... The tail, the cooking, he just has to ask.]

This might sound weird, but- are you related to someone named Rin?

[Maybe he has a sister he never mentioned.]
hellpyre: (pic#6436000)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-11-01 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Nope, Rin is Rin, just a girl version of the one you knew.

Not that she's aware of it.

The voice catches her attention and she turns, tilting her head curiously. What an odd question.]


Uhm. My name is Rin.
coolerthansora: (OMGNOWAY)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2013-11-01 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
...

This place turned you into a girl!?
hellpyre: (pic#6436003)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-11-01 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Wh... at... ? No! I've always been a girl!

[Oh. Wait. She knows what this is.]

You knew the other me? The one Bon talks about?
coolerthansora: (hadn't thought of that)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2013-11-01 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
The other... you?

[Not exactly a new concept to KH derps, but Roxas doesn't think she means like Others or facetwins. Maybe it's like how there were two Twilight Towns?]

So you're- Rin, but a different Rin?

...is your brother a girl now, too?
hellpyre: (pic#6307876)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-11-01 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. Bon says I'm a guy where he's from. But Bon is still Bon and I'm still me.

[It total makes sense to her!

Not really, but that's the best she can do with it.]


Yuki was always a girl for me.
coolerthansora: (headscratch)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2013-11-01 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yuki..

[Not Yukio? Roxas scratches his head.]

You don't know me though.
hellpyre: (pic#6048346)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-11-01 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Not Yukio.]

Mmmm...

[She dried her hands off on a towel, striding over after to lean in and give the boy a once over curiously.]

No, sorry! But y'look like a nice guy!
coolerthansora: (hadn't thought of that)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2013-11-01 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, thanks.

...it's Roxas, by the way. Nice to meet you? [Again-ish?]
hellpyre: (pic#6025878)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-11-01 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Roxas? Nice t' meetcha, too! Sorry it's gotta be in a place like this. And without... well, y'know. Me but not me.
