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?

[If you could see his face, Yulia. He's actually quite angry, and his bitchface is totally out there as he replies.]

SENT: 4:10 PM
I nearly hit him with one of the Wings...

[The exchange had been heated and Kaz stormed off with every righteous piece of anger he could muster against the Sin-Eater he called his older brother. Right now, he's just leaning up against a column, earbuds in, listening to very angry music.]

[bostova]

[ ...Huh that's... interesting. There's a smirk you don't see, Kaz. ]

SENT 04:11 PM
Why didn't you?

[ktotheatothez]

SENT: 4:13 PM I... Couldn't.Nearly did, and he deserved it, to be sure... But I have a thing where I can't hit people I care about, even when they're being so goddamn infuriating.

[He's fuming over how he really just couldn't hit Joshua, knock him out and drag him off to his room... Elaine be damned that Josh happened to be six-foot-one and muscular.]

[bostova]

SENT 04:15 PM
Careful. Some people might take advantage of that weakness.

[ktotheatothez]

[Any other day before today, there might have been indignant sputtering, and how not wanting to hit people you care about wasn't a weakness. Today, Kaz just sighs because she was right, loving your siblings meant being rough sometimes.]

SENT: 4:16 PMIf I stumble on a second chance, maybe I will. Just so he knows I'm not holding back. What are we going to do with him, Yulia?

[bostova]

SENT 04:18 PM
Give him a bit more time. Maybe he will realize how far his head is up in his ass.

[ Although, she really just wants to beat the shit out of Josh right now. Patience, though. She's learning it. ]

[ktotheatothez]

[Sage Advice™ from Yulia Bostova, Kaz. He takes a deep, steadying breath. She was right, maybe Josh would see reason if they nudged him gently in a while. But if he didn't get some rest soon, he was probably going to get a beatdown from either his second or third. Kaz still couldn't, even if he should.]

SENT: 4:19 AM
All right... But he needs to chill the fuck out, sit his ass down and delegate.

[bostova]

SENT: 04:20 PM
If he doesn't, I'll be sure to kick his ass for you.

[ktotheatothez]

SENT: 04:30 AM
Thank you. I'm really worried about him, Yulia.

[He's being serious because there are no emoticons.]
