Day 151
Who: Zia, Zulf + the NPCs Nathaniel, Zanya, Zahi + YOU
Open: Open
When: Day 151
Where: Throughout the Bastion
What: Tension has fallen over the Bastion, and it's time to sort out truth and anger.
Format: Any
Warnings: Drama
A few days ago, some residents of the Bastion might have become aware of a confrontation happening at a certain Ura's humble abode. There was some yelling- although not clear- and the result was a very harried looking Rin Okumura forcibly dragging away resident Mancer Nathaniel. The next couple of days have been quiet, but today... Well, if anyone wants to ask about and see what the deal was, it seems like today is the day.
It seems like Nathaniel has finally quit his own self imposed isolation, if only so that he doesn't starve to death. Apparently anger can only sustain a man for so long. He can be seen storming through the Bastion, a thundercloud practically gathered about him, or at the eating area looking very much like he wants to be left alone.
Zulf has been less of a hermit. Anyone who has seen him since the argument has probably noticed his black eye and sore nose. He seems angry as well, although it's quieter and colder underneath all his civility. More noticeably, he's been hard at work building a few fences near the edges of the Bastion- mostly near his tent but also in other areas as well. They're not the best fences, but they're good enough, hopefully. You can approach him at the shrine, his tent, or anywhere, really... He's as available as he's always been. He might even approach you, just to warn about falling off the edge of the Bastion.
Seriously, this place has needed safety railings for ages now. Who's bright idea was it not to include safety railings?RUCKS...
Anyone wandering by the Kitchens today will notice... Damn, that's a lot of yelling. And slamming of things. Should knives be used to chop that hard...? That's right, Rin is in a bad mood and anyone who comes near will immediately know it. The excess swearing is probably a good clue. Unlike the other two, she's unleashing her temper with wild abandon in the sanctity of her kitchen where no one will bug her. Well. Unless YOU bug her...
Of course, these three aren't the only ones noticeable about the Bastion today! It looks like the Ura residents are just coming out of the woodwork.
Anyone who's talked to either of the latest Ura additions knows that Zulf came in with Zia. While not involved with the row from a few days ago, she seems just as worried as Zulf seems angry. It's possible to see her wandering about with her pet Pecker chick. Might see her coming away after a discussion with Zulf, too... Maybe she knows what's going on?
There's also Zanya and her father Zahi who have been apparently a bit more sociable these last few days. There's apparently a subject they're both interested in which they'll approach people about, although they'll do so differently. Zahi will strike up friendly conversation, but Zanya will simply get right to the point: do you have any idea what happened?
Feel free to strike up conversation with any of them, or even try and talk to everyone if you wish.
[ooc: This is your characters chance to investigate just what the drama is all about! In such a small place as the Bastion, it's a bit hard to miss... Feel free to have your characters speculate or gossip with the Ura NPCs about what may have happened or if they caught onto a sliver of what happened (like Zulf and Nathaniel falling off the edge of the Bastion), or for them to go the more direct route by talking to either Nathaniel, Zulf, Rin, or Zia.]
[Long story short is that Rin went to get Venn's journal from Nathaniel. Upon realizing who exactly wanted it, Nathaniel went to confront Zulf. There was an argument on just who and what caused the Calamity... and then Nat punched Zulf in the face, they rolled off the edge of the Bastion, and Rin separated them after they got blown back up.]
[As a reminder! Mod Mandy plays NPC!Nathaniel and NPC!Zahi. Mod Jeni plays NPC!Zanya and Rin. Birdmod James plays Zulf. Helpful player Courtney plays Zia. We'll all get to you on our own individual time, and as soon as possible! Just make sure it's clear in your post who your character is approaching.]

I think... I think this place does somethin'. That makes it so people can't fight much without it kickin' in and stoppin' it. Even if I hadn't been there I bet Nathaniel and Zulf wouldn't have gone on fightin' for long.
no subject
[But no, Rin gets angry all the time. It has to be something else.]
...Or maybe just something to prevent the violence...
no subject
[Because seriously look at this kitchen.]
Caels made it all. They made the Bastion, and they made the weapons.
no subject
Weapons themselves aren't a problem. It's how they're used that matters. From the sounds of it, they weren't used for good, either.
no subject
[Her fingers curl on her lap, head shaking slowly]
It's one thing to do this kinda shit to your own world, but they've destroyed so much...
no subject
We should go ask him directly about it. He's part of that group, he should have answers.
no subject
[Though she'd be lying if she said she didn't want answers...]
no subject
[Even going back to before they were dating, the longest time they ever stayed mad at each other was over the Satan thing, and he still eventually came around about that.]
no subject
Y'never hated me as much as Zulf hates the Mancers, Bon. Even when I was at my worst...
no subject
[He got angry, yes. But even back when they first met, he had never hated Rin. Not in the angry-hate way, at least. Maybe in the 'totally rivals' kind of way, but that isn't even really hate, just a drive to out-do each other. And as for the Satan thing...he thought it was hate then, but looking back on it, it was more a feeling of betrayal than hate.
But whoops he didn't mean to admit to that MOVING ON]
ANYWAY, after they're cooled off, we should talk to them. They owe everyone answers.
no subject
... yeah. You're right.
[That was, of course, to what he'd said about talking to Nathaniel and Zulf.
But after agreeing, she slips off the stool she'd dropped on to, moving over so she can give Bon a hug.
Shut up, she needs it right now, okay?]
I didn't hate you, either. Even if you were a jerk to me at first.
no subject
It takes him a moment, but he moves to hug her back.]
That's just what I'm like.
no subject
At least until she starts being cute, wagging her tail and looking up at him with her arms around him.]
Well... in that case I'm glad I got to know you past the jerk part.
no subject
Yeah, well, we're classmates. And teammates. Even if we weren't...you know, we'd still be friends.
[Words why do you fail him?]
no subject
Too bad back home most people look at him/her like a spaz not worth anyone's time.
But then again Bon isn't most people.]
Would we? I thought you hated slacker types like me.
no subject
[He hates that you go 'fff' about school, Rin, but the fact that she pulled through when it was important earned a lot of respect points.]
no subject
That's cause I'm awesome!
no subject
That's not why at all!
no subject
... okay no not really.]
... oh. ... but I sounded cool, right?
