Waking the Dead 2.0 || July 5-11, 2063 || The Wait

[kawaakari]

[Beautiful as Seigi is and generous as your hosts have been, it is hard to forget why you're here again.

Zangyaku is carrying on as per usual, as if your presence doesn't mean anything. It isn't a dismissal, though: it's an acknowledgment of the work that you must do, and that they are, by merit of your presence, helping you do it.]


General OOC Notes:
+ This is a catch-all post for any interactions that take place during the in-game period I indicated. Make sure to label your subject lines accordingly!
+ You're all staying at close to the Wolf's Ward, which is the wing devoted to the Blade King and the Wolfborn.
+ You're free to move around until about 7 PM. You have free run of the base.
+ You can, regardless of whether you have a license with Zangyaku or not, join in on minor routine engagements like patrol, or helping out at any of the divisions.
+ There is a free teleport back to Falner. You can go any time, as long as you're back before call time for the vigil with Ginko Takasugi-Vice from 8 PM until 4 AM.

General behavior of significant NPCs in the area:
+ Kasumi is your host, and effectively the officer in command for this leg of the operation.
+ Hikaru is generally NOT around during the day. He only turns up around dinner time to eat with everyone, take a temperature check on his end, and then immerse himself in his own work.
+ NPCs that have been fielded out to watch over David Young and Minato Arisato are available on call.
+ Other NPCs may be available on request. Just ping me?

[ And that offer is all he needs, even if the breath that leaves him sounds a little too exhausted. ]

Okay. I'll remember that.

[ It's late, they have to finish their watch even if the chances of Jessie coming up on the radar tonight are slim to none. Tonight makes the second time now that the Card's slipped away. Tomorrow, people will be more vigilant. ]

Get some rest. You guys did good tonight. You did. [ And because this is you, and you've helped, even if just a little: ] Love you, pumpkin.

[That is making her smile on her end. Moments like this make her so happy that, if she had been anyone else, she might have cried.

She could have lost this. She could have lost everything. Instead...]

I love you too, Josh. [Not 'bro' this time. She calls you by name in moments like this.] Sleep well when you do, okay?

[larue]

I will.

[ If he's a little misty-eyed, it's really... everything ontop of everything else. If you were here, he'd probably cave and tell, curl up around you because he still holds to the truth that you were the one person he did right by from start to finish -- but the engagement comes first, and he doesn't want you worrying while you're out there. ]

I'll go crash after the Hounds finish up our shift. Will text you when I do.

[ Softly, now: ] Miss you. Love you. Go be good.
