[semiopen] they had lights inside their eyes

Who: Shinoa and a few other people.
When: Half a post backdated to 4/14-ish, half a post after Graupera's battle (4/20)
Where: Capablanca
What: Jobs! Shinoa frolics in the wilderness, and spends a sober afternoon making boats.
Rating: Mentions of death? Will update as I go along.



A date with Mother Nature: Closed to Lapis & Setsuna (anyone who has existing CR with Shinoa can also drop me a line if you want to tag this!)

[The chef is certainly doing himself no favors; Shinoa would've dug something out of a trashbin for them in spite, if she weren't looking forward to exploring the wildernesses she hadn't had back home.

But this place has intact woodlands and peaceful rivers, bubbling with water clearer than she's ever seen from the soil- than she's seen in a long time, to be exact, but her memories of a time before the apocalypse are too far back to be really accessible. She's spending as much time fooling around as she is foraging, rolling in the grass and circling around the trees, and when she strips off her boots to wander into the shallows of a creek her face is one of an awed child's.

But eventually she settles down, so if you don't find her exploring you might find her in water up to her calves, trying to net some riverfish. Once in a while she skims the water with a horizontal swipe of her scythe and send fish flying everywhere. Most of them don't land where she wants to- on the bank where she can get at them- so there's a lot of swearing and flailing to catch the ones that're just flung further out into the river.]


Vessel of Hope: OTA

[They did this too, back home. It was very informal, because by the time the army ranks were what it had been before the apocalypse they'd seen too much death for those in power to feel like commemoration was necessary. (Not like Kureto ever would do something as thoughtful as commemoration, but whatever.) When people died in her company she'd see their teammates cluster in a secluded corner of the barracks, hushed and solemn around some kind of firelight, and she used to not understand.

She understands a bit more now, but she still struggles; the least she can do is start the firelight for the fallen who don't have teammates. It feels like the right thing to do.

Shinoa can be found down by the docks, seated in a quiet area and decorating boats. The boats she's using are evidently purchased (because she has as much craft skills as cooking skills- i.e. none). There're small piles of beads and paints around her.]


Oh- snap!

[She accidentally knocks a paint-pot over, and hastily sets it upright.]

[Gil's listening to her in complete silence in order to register everything and learn it by heart right away. All of those dramatic gestures are quite fitting, though.

And then she drops the bomb on him.]


M-M-Make out?! But...but that would be selfish of me! I can't do that, not to my mast—

[He's flailing so much that he bumps the glitter and spills it all over his uniform pants.]

Ugh...

[Planting the thought that Oz might want that too is rather dangerous since (a) he wouldn't be able to think about anything else, (b) he wouldn't be able to do much.]

B-Being friends is one thing, but this...

[Gil just shakes his head, not believing in himself at all.]

I just get myself a new pair when we get back...this one is beyond salvation.

[Whoever thought that white uniforms for military will be great was either stupid or an idiot, no exceptions.]
