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.]

[ she nods, giving him a smile. ]

Ah, sure...! I wasn't really sure what places would be open for breakfast right now so I was planning on looking around... but you probably have a better idea of where to go, eheh.

[ THERE'S A BIT OF SPLUTTERING and then she quickly hurries to catch up with him ]

Ah, y--you don't have to...! I--it's fine, really!

[ sorry darin but she is the walking embodiment of that one person who gets flustered beyond belief whenever anyone offers to spend money on them ]

W--well, you're right, it does, but um...

[ she feels kind of bad but... well, if he's offering it's a little rude to just turn him down out of attempted politeness ]

But um-- if you're sure, then thank you, Altway-san.

[ ugh with how... American this place is she probably should've expected this but explaining honorifics to foreigners is never not the most awkward thing. ]

Um... a--actually it's "-san" not... "son"... [ though even as she says it, she can hear it pretty much sounds the same ] Like, um... i--if you heard me at the music group meeting, talking to some of the others, you probably heard me say "Amelie-chan" or "Link-kun", right?

Th--they're honorifics. I think '-san' is probably something like "mister" or "miss" in English...

[ ... looking kind of uncertain about that because she knows he doesn't mean anything by it but the idea of being on first name basis with a guy she doesn't know all that well seems kind of...

but eventually, she nods. ]


U--um... alright then, Darin-san.

[ ... yeah you're not getting away from the honorifics, sorry Darin ]

[ she always feels tremendously awkward letting people buy her food and even if the "my treat" is still in effect, it doesn't stop her from feeling a little guilty when she finally points out what it is she wants -- ]

Um-- if it's okay, I'd like one of the breakfast croissants. A--and a milk tea, if you don't mind...!
torya: [soniani] (i'll do what i can)

[ ... well he has been apparently running around all morning but four whole breakfast sandwiches, good lord darin ]

Ah, really? S--sorry about that... I've been doing a lot of part time work in town so I'm a little all over the place right now. I don't really have a set schedule, so...
torya: [soniani] (do i go up?)

[personal profile] torya 2015-08-30 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... well that's a bit of an ego boost and she can't help but beam ]

Eheh, if it's songs you want, there's plenty I could play! None of them sound as good without the whole band, but if you liked the one I played for you before, I think you'd like the others, too.

... mmm... well, if there was a place around here to record music, I could try recording some for you, but...

[ thinking, thinking... ]

I could try it out in my room? I'd need some blank CDs, but it's worth a try...

[ ohhhh lord ]

Oh... um... th--they're disks that you can store things on like... videos and music. They sell them at the music store in town!

[ oh well that makes things easier... ]

Y--yeah! Like a bluray movie -- but the quality's a little lower, since they're a little older. And you'd need a different kind of player...

But if you'd like one, I could try making one for sure...!
