Day 292 [open]

[bastionpc]

Who: many NPCs, many characters
Open: Open (see below)
When: Day 292
Where: The Bastion, in different locations (see below)
What: a few conversations need to happen, so here they are! Some are plot-important, some are not, but all are welcome to participate
Format: action
Warnings: none

Each thread is going to be started with whatever NPC is participating in it. Please do not make new threads, but instead comment to the NPC threads.

Additionally, each conversation will occur once, so instead of several individual conversations there should be one conversation per thread with several participants. Feel free to have your character participate wherever you like, but we ask that each character participate in one conversation only.

Also, some of the NPC threads will have a character limit to them, which will be clearly stated in the header of that thread. Once that limit has been reached, those particular threads will be closed to those who have already tagged in.

Nathaniel, at the storehouse (no limit)

[bastionpc]

[Nathaniel cones and goes from the storehouse quite a bit, as he is a tech guy and he puts a lot of supplies there. Normally he's there to retrieve a spare amulet or a compass or something, but today he seems to be dragging several boxes off of shelves and going through them, thus leaving the storehouse a mess.

Care to investigate?]

Re: Nathaniel, at the storehouse (no limit)

[freedom_engineer]

[Seeing how much he fills the stores too, it's certainly piqued Colin's interest.]

You look like you got bit by creativity. What's all this for?

[He nods to the things he's sifting through.]

Re: Nathaniel, at the storehouse (no limit)

[countingthunder]

[You know what's incredibly helpful?

Having some girl wander in and sit on one of the boxes you meant to look through but haven't opened yet.

Don't mind River.]

[fireburn]

[azula is absolutely not minding river at all (sorry) mostly because ever since her talk with Colin she's been interested in talking to Nathaniel. Not that she expected a whole party of people to be there when she showed up, but hey. The more the ....merrier....or something.]

What are you looking for in all of that mess?

[bastionpc]

[Oh hey it's a party, and Nathaniel doesn't recognize two of the people!]

None of you have seen the extra compasses, have you? Did they get moved recently?

[He's hoping someone moved them and forgot to put them back, they're not cheap to make.

Also rude River, he was just reaching for that box when she sat down on it.]

Er...if you need to sit down, there's a chair over there by the table.

Blue Anna, by the apartments (limit 3)

[bastionpc]

[Anna has been looking nervous for the last couple days, which is very unusual for her. Today, however, seems to be the day she is going to speak out about whatever it is, as she is hiding in a less-traveled part of the Bastion, looking for someone to approach. Or for someone to approach her.]

[cyan_maid]

[And approach someone does. Jane is on her way out when she notices someone she hasn't seen before lingering by the apartments. Ever curious, she makes her way over, taking care not to move too fast or come off as scary.]

Er, excuse me? Are you alright?

[bastionpc]

Ah...

[Jane is a newer face, which makes Anna hesitate for a moment. But Jane looks like a nice person, so maybe she is safe to talk to?

Anna decides to test the waters./small>]

Um...are you one of the people who comes and goes sometimes? Or, you know them, right?

[cyan_maid]

[She blinks.]

Comes and goes...where, exactly?

[That's probably your answer, Anna.]

[bastionpc]

Um...to the outside. The places that aren't the Bastion.

There's a bunch of people who go there, but...does anybody go at night?

Zee and Vee, at the hospital (no limit)

[bastionpc]

[Most of the Ura visitors have gone home by now, having left when Colin took a trip to the Ura settlement some days ago. Zee and Vee remain, however, because Zee is still injured and needs to rest and heal.

But they are both hanging out at the hospital, and look like they might have Important Things they might possibly say today. Or it might just be gas, who can tell with teenage boys.]

[amnesiadragon]

[Ryu's come to visit the two of them again, carrying some jerky and donuts with him. Maybe he shouldn't be bringing it into the hospital, but he can always clean up if they make a mess. He knocks on the door lightly before poking his head in.]

I brought you food, if you want some.

[bastionpc]

[FOOD

Zee will scarf that stuff down as soon as it is close enough to him, healing makes him hungry. Vee, however, will leave it for Zee to eat, and will instead talk to Ryu while Zee eats.]

Thanks for bringing him something, he's a bottomless pit right now.

[amnesiadragon]

You're welcome. I thought it might, and I'm guessing you two don't get much of a chance to head out.

[He just grins at the sight of Zee scarfing the food down. He does that, too.]

You at least both look like you're feeling better.

[bastionpc]

I was alright, besides worrying about this idiot.

[Vee jabs his thumb in Zee's direction, and Zee at least has the presence of mind to look offended by that remark.]

They didn't want me to stay behind with him at first, even.

phone call, at the phone booth (limit 2 at most in the booth, any number outside of it)

[bastionpc]

[RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING RING]

Re: phone call, at the phone booth (limit 2 at most in the booth, any number outside of it)

[scary_music]

[Ibuki picks up the phone!]

Yesssss hello! Ibuki speaking from the land of magical jerky cows and donut trees!!

Re: phone call, at the phone booth (limit 2 at most in the booth, any number outside of it)

[dontyoujustwish]

[Anya comes up just outside the booth, having heard it ringing.]

Are they still dialing wrong numbers?

[scary_music]

Nope! Zero-chan's been calling us on purpose now for awhile!

[bastionpc]

[Oh hey two voices! And at least Zero is familiar enough with Ibuki's weirdness that he doesn't get confused by it.]

Hi Ibuki! And...whoever is there with Ibuki.

I just wanted to share some good news with you guys.

Zahi, by the river (no limit)

[bastionpc]

[Who has two thumbs and is working on building a fire pit for a rad bonfire later tonight?

This guy right here.

He could probably use some help, and he might talk about Important Plot Things while working too.]

[hellpyre]

You're gonna break your back if you keep haulin' shit around like that.

[Apparently that's Rin's way of offering help to Zahi, along with actually grabbing some of the the things he's been bringing over to build it.]

Re: Zahi, by the river (no limit)

[twinked_witch]

[Megaera comes by after a bit...]

Hrm. Building something by hand, huh?

[bastionpc]

[Hello, two lovely ladies to help him with his work.

He does snicker in Rin's direction first, though.]

Well it's so nice of you to volunteer, then.

[To Meg, he nods.]

I figured a nice bonfire would be good right about now. Well, not now now, but tonight.

[hellpyre]

Didn't look like anyone else was gonna.

[Even Kintaro tries to get in on the help, but all he can manage is letting Rin put a couple of things on his back and having him oh-so-carefully balance his way behind her with them.]
