IC CONTACT POST FOR cosmographia

[soulfultwin]

(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.]

Why would you--

Why would you even try that?! You're huge.

[And she can barely breathe.]

[soulfultwin]

What else was I supposed to do with it, tie the sleeves around my neck like baby's first cape?!

[blindfoldcode]

It would be better than this. It was a last resort... You need--

You need to take it off, you're gonna stretch it out. [She can't fucking breathe. She needs to sit down. She really has to sit down there's rocks over there she's going to go sit on them.]

[soulfultwin]

[And while he tries that he...]

[He can't.]

[He's managed to pull the shirt up over his head, but the pullover shrunk back to its normal size, binding his arms above his head and his head buried in the pullover.]

[So, to recap: His arms are straight up, stuck and tangled in the pullover. His head, completely stuck in the pullover, save for a blue tuft poking out of the top between his raised arms.]

[He's struggling. He's trying to--nope, he's down.]

[He's face down in the sand and...yes, he's given up.]






[/golfclap.]

[blindfoldcode]

[She's fucking crying by this point. She's laughing so hard she's making herself sick.

She walks over.]

Oh my god, you're six. Don't move.

[She's gonna yank it off of him with her intangibility.]

[soulfultwin]

[Finally, he gasps...sand.]

[He gasps sand.]

[That was stupid. So he rolls over onto his back and starts coughing...and slowly, that coughing turns to laughter.]

Freedom!!

[blindfoldcode]

How have you lived longer than I have?

[soulfultwin]

[He considers the question, before firing back with:]

I have good people who like to look out for me.

[blindfoldcode]

You're going to die. It's going to happen. If I look away, you're going to die.

[soulfultwin]

Hey, I did pretty well before I got here.

[blindfoldcode]

You almost got killed by my sweater.

[soulfultwin]

I just got tired.

I would have resumed the fight after a quick nap.

...But thanks.

[blindfoldcode]

[She offers a hand to help him up if he needs it.

Her ribs hurt from laughing.

She still has tears in her eyes..]

[soulfultwin]

[He looks up at her and goes to clasp his hand around her wrist.]

[But then he stops and looks up at her.]

You...were laughing. I just realized.

You were laughing.

[blindfoldcode]

[She narrows her eyes.]

I laugh sometimes.

[soulfultwin]

...You should laugh more.

It was nice.

[blindfoldcode]

... I can drop you.

[soulfultwin]

I know you can.

[But you won't.]

[blindfoldcode]

[She yanks him to his feet then, with surprising strength.]

You're lucky I like you.

[soulfultwin]

Yeah.

I am.

[He tugs her hood down over her face playfully.]

[blindfoldcode]

You ruined my shirt. [She adjusts it to fix it.]

[soulfultwin]

Really?

We're going to play the 'you ruined my clothes' card? Because there's a narwhal I'd like to introduce you to that has a belly full of things I used to wear.

[blindfoldcode]

Your clothes were ruined already and I offered to buy you more. I'm broke. Appreciate my effort.

[soulfultwin]

Yes, you did a great job stripping me.

I'll have you know, I could have easily paid for my--... ... ...

[soulfultwin]

My money was in my pants.
