IC CONTACT POST FOR [community profile] cosmographia

(OOC: This is a rough outline of Darin's daily routine. Feel free to comment to this post with a time and location if you want to thread! This post is meant to be a catch-all contact post to thread out and expand on things that happen in game that might be too little for a log! Anything is game! Open to all! And feel free to have someone catch Darin someplace that isn't necessarily listed! He gets around, for sure!)

Sunrise to Early Morning

[It is around this time that you'll catch Darin out at the beach. He's doing his usual training regiment; jogging around the temple, sit ups, push-ups, liberally exercising whatever magical abilities he's awoken. He might be sparring with a clone projection, practicing summoning his weapon, or maybe just cooling down. Afterwards, he goes in search for metal, whether it's at the junkyard, or digging into the cliff face for whatever he can find!]

Morning to Afternoon

[Around this time, you'll see Darin around Waverly Bay. He might have his stall set up and selling his wares, or he might be running errands for the sake of the townspeople. Maybe he's doing some repairs around town, or lending a hand wherever it's needed. If it's slow, he's relaxing and getting some food, or maybe he's taking a nap under a tree! He's around though, that's for sure.]

Afternoon to Evening

[Around this time, Darin might be rustling up some dinner. Once the sun starts to dip, he'll head home for the day. He likes to take a more scenic route home so he can watch the sun set over the horizon. It's one of his favorite things to do. You might catch him along this route, or maybe catch him in his room in the Temple, where he's hard at work in his forge, working on parts and custom orders. He keeps his door open though, and when you look in, it'll be the storefront to his Smithy back in Kenmore. Don't be shy to come on in, the door's open for a reason!]

Evening to Night

[If it's a nice, clear evening, you'll find Darin out on the beach. Maybe he's training, maybe he's just wandering aimlessly, barefoot, through the surf. If it's a particularly clear night, you may find him climbing the cliff face. When he reaches the top, he'll watch the stars before making his way back down. If it's nice, he might just sleep out there! If it's raining, he'll be in the Temple, doing some sketching in his notebook.]

What do you mean by what?

Well, if it was that important, shouldn't you have written it down instead of doodling?

[It takes her a bit, a long, tense silence, to pop back into visibility, a little further away than before. Her shoulders are hunched, her face buried in her collar.]

... You can't hold on for long. We're going to go home, eventually.

[She takes a half a step closer. She has no encouragement to offer. To express that she's okay with this would be cruel. Instead she stuffs her hand in her hoodie's pockets.]

You want to know more about me, right? [She looks decidedly to his left.]

Ask three questions. And don't tell me you won't, because it's the only chance I'll give you.
beyourrock: (Oh dear...)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-08-27 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
No no, I wasn't expecting anything...!

S-So you'll come, right? Maybe you can invite Pit and Kido too! More the merrier!
beyourrock: (Hopeful.)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-08-27 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[She blinks.]

Yes, Darin?
beyourrock: (Let's be reasonable!)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-08-27 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
No, please. What is it?

Did I say something wrong?
beyourrock: (If I could show you.)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-08-27 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't sure if you were going to be around tonight. I know you've been working hard and been rather busy...

I didn't wish to bother you over something so trvial.

... [She takes a deep breath, looking out toward the sea.] My father was a successful businessman. But when I was a kid, he went bankrupt. On August 15th, more than a decade ago, he set the house on fire with everyone inside. My older sister and her mother, [Notice, not "our mother"] a few of the people who worked for him, and me.

The last thing I remember of the fire is my sister trying to save me. She was really the only person who cared about me back then. And then when we died, it was like being swallowed up. There was a nightmare--it seemed like it would never end.

When Ayaka and Kenjirou adopted my brothers and I, Ayaka asked us about it. Between what she told us and Marry's storybook, I think I know a little about it. Where we were swallowed up is called the Kagerou Daze, and it returns one of the people it takes in with a snake possessing the body in order to give it life again.

[She looks at him, struggling to keep her eyes grey.]

My power is the snake possessing me. It's the snake of Concealing Eyes. It protects me and keeps me alive in order to remain in the world.

Uh, last I checked, yeah.

Nice picture, by the way.

After Ayano died, our home became too dangerous. Something had happened to Kenjirou. He...

He and Ayaka were the only parents I ever knew. But when Ayaka died searching for information about the Daze, he changed. They never found her body... But sometimes, at night, he would act differently. Strangely. He became violent and angry. When Ayano died, everything got worse. The same day she died, two of his students disappeared.

... [She's glad her hands are in her pockets because they're shaking.] He's after us. And we don't know why.

[She wonders in the silence, if she's said something unspeakably wrong. She's given him the truth, at least as much as she knows. So she lets out a breath she didn't realize she was holding when he speaks again. Let's him finish.

Ducks her head just a little more so he won't realize that her face is reddening. The last thing she needs is for him to see that.]


For having met Kano, I'm surprised you haven't realized it yet. I accepted it when you ran into a fire like an idiot.

Kano and Seto had to deal with it more than anyone else. None of us are that great at showing we care, too.
