[closed] everybody's working for the weekend + overflow for july intro log
Who: Rin, Saber, Kija, Hakuno, Ed, Setsuna, and Bolin (and anyone from the July intro!)
When: Throughout the month of June, into mid-July
Where: Various sites; Caissa to start, then Lasker
What: Completing jobs and doing good deeds. Repurposing "first date" time, in some cases. Doing intro log things.
Rating: Should be pretty safe, will be updated accordingly. Right now the only warnings may be for death and occasional cute... and some scandalousness... TW: mentions of suggestive things in the water festival thread!
Have a Drink (from June 5th on, Caissa/closed to Hakuno)
[it wasn't actually rin's first choice for a convenient way to occupy her days in caissa, but... money is valuable, and money must be earned. just because the worlds have changed, that doesn't make the economics any different. and rin loves money, so of course she finds herself contributing at least some effort to the paid, heroic cause.
it took her a little time to find her own niche in the ongoing dance of the drops festivities. fortunately, people are predictable, and, also fortunately, a pair of pretty female saviors will add a certain charm to the ongoing water fights. dragging hakuno along with her, they've usurped a simple shaded booth where a vendor has asked them to hand out popsicles and other frozen treats for the occasion.
the major draw of the booth, though, is to greet two of blanc's own newest heroes. in bikinis.]
Here you go~! [the smile rin has stretched across her face is almost too saccharine to be believable, her co-conspirator in building public morale will note. she passes a colorful ice cream cone to a waiting patron.] Enjoy the festival, today! Recharge and head back out to receive summer's blessings!
TSI: Train Scene Investigation (from June 25th to July 3rd, Lasker/closed to Saber and Kija)
[after hearing the dismal news, there's no way she can abandon those rail cars. rin sets out from lasker to search for the strewn cars; are you accompanying her?
the harsh and unrelenting landscape doesn't seem to dull her determination to discover survivors. if the coast is mysteriously clear, she listens for cries of help or the pitiful whimpers that could only belong to a small, and frightened, child. just as well, she'll keep her eyes open for bodies—whether motionless or still struggling—the cars themselves, and any other pieces of wreckage, always approaching them to hunt for more unfortunate victims.
throughout it all, her face is grim, but her wavering blue eyes betray how much the tragedy affects her.]
Soul Train (from June 25th to July 15th, Lasker/closed to Ed, Setsuna, and Bolin)
[it's not even a question that she would chip in to aid the refugees. when she isn't elsewhere, rin is somewhere within the shield, busy with the work of providing relief for those rudely displaced by the trainwreck.
occasionally, she's trotting off with heavy baskets of clothing, blankets, and various supplies to carry them up to a certain floor of a safehouse. if she doesn't foist one (or several) on you—]
Here, take this. I don't want to hear any complaints.
[—you're with her as she knocks on the door to a newly arrived, and traumatized, resident.]
It's all right. We're here to help you.
[at other times, rin is delivering practical first aid among a group of survivors, adding to the ongoing discussion of noir's attack in a manner that is neither impolite nor too sugarcoated. while winding a bandage around an injured arm, she admits,]
No, you're right. The better decision would have been to split up our forces equally. There was no need for this folly in dividing us.
[some of those gathered nod their heads in soft agreement. some are more outspoken and angry.
most often, though, rin is whipping up homemade meals with that specific touch of care in a makeshift tent, station, or even small kitchen commandeered for the cooking effort. she holds the end of a wide spoon to your face, her hand cupped beneath it to catch any spills, and asks,]
Will you please try it? [she smiles warmly, giggling a little.you may be wondering oh my god is this really rin tohsaka] Hehe! I want to make sure it meets approval.
[who knows what she's prepared, exactly, but it definitely smells comforting and divine... and tastes rich and delicious, with a distinct hint of spiciness.]
Overflow for the July Intro (July 8th/closed to a bunch of people) 
[rin's top-level here! threads will be linked and continued below.]

Overflow for the July Intro (July 8th/closed to a bunch of people)

no subject
Maybe he'll be able to understand soon, once everyone gets together and eats. As it is, he's missing the point. At least he's obedient... So he'll learn fast in time. He watches her charming wink, feeling a little embarrassed now. But he nods to acknowledge her requests, then proceeds to move along so he can follow through them.
So he does as told: collecting bowls, retrieving the bread, and then carefully brings everything over to where she went. ]
no subject
having a man obey your every word, and quickly at that, and without giving her any sort of argument; she could become used to this. rin practically shivers in happiness as setsuna joins her. what a plus in his favor. maybe it's all right to try to go for the older men...]
G-Good, we're going.
[she spares him one last peek out of the corner of her eye, then marches off through a nearby door to bring the soup to a waiting table of refugees of all ages and appearances. preparation for the community meal is as easy as setting out the pot, handing them their bowls, and allowing them to serve themselves.]
I'm sorry for the wait, everyone. [rin speaks to them quite politely, taking a seat of her own at the table when she finishes unloading the soup.]
no subject
When Rin peeks at him, Setsuna's attention is still solely on her. He blinks once, wondering if she'll say anything else to him. But when she runs off instead, he adjusts to it quickly and follows right after... No different from how a proper escort would act. And once they arrive at the table with the refugees, he continues to support her without even being told what to do.
Whenever she sets down a bowl, he follows up with the utensils. And once everything is set, he follows her still and seats himself beside her. Some look at them curiously, wondering what their relationship are. They're too synchronized! ]
no subject
rin didn't expect to be followed that closely, though maybe she should have if he's been this perfect and compliant so far. true, she would've asked setsuna to sit with her if he didn't already. she's pleasantly surprised when he takes his seat next to her of his own accord, then. the magus-turned-pawn sits up straight, threading her fingers together. she can feel those stares!]
Um, it's all right to begin! Setsuna and I will go last!
