open post for two characters I do what I want
Who: Atsushi or Lavi, and you
When: September 8th - 30th (Sylvant)
Where: Caissa, Gammon
What: Lavi ranked up, Atsushi is Making an Attempt at things, jobs will be done and things will be blown up. I just wanted a catch-all for both characters, okay.
Rating: S for Stupidity, probably.
Atsushi
01 - Cooking Tiger
[Today is the day that he's finally worked up enough nerve to venture into the kitchens. It makes him nervous, even though none of the staff seem that bothered by his presence, and nobody has yelled at him that he's in the way and doesn't belong. After a lot of awkward shuffling about, Atsushi seems to have gotten it together enough to get down to what he came to the kitchen for in the first place.
After a bit of work, he can be found happily standing over a rather large bowl of chazuke - tea poured over rice. The steaming rice dish has varied ingredients floating about, too. Pickled vegetables, fish, sesame seeds. It's not exactly the same as he would be able to make back home, but's close, and even if it might not look pretty, it at least smells good.]
02 - Letter go, letter go
[Atsushi has no experience with writing letters. Why would he? He can't think of a single instance in his life where someone might have wanted anything he might have written, let alone a personal letter. Still, even without the promise of being paid for his efforts-- which is a bonus, to be sure, it just feels right to be doing what he can to bring some cheer to those impacted by events in Friedgood.
Even though his handwriting isn't great and he's somehow smeared ink on his hands and face without realizing it, Atsushi is doing his best to put heartfelt feelings into the letters he's composing. As wrapped up as he is in penning notes of encouragement in sloppy handwriting, he isn't that focused on anything else going around him, so he may not even notice that anyone else has approached him unless they speak up.]
03 - Mackin' cheese please
[Vending machines are a common enough sight back home, and while Atsushi generally doesn't splurge on actually buying anything from them if he can help it, he's decided to give it a go, just this once. Free food is best, but he's curious about some of the new treats for sale.
Of course, vending machines don't actually care what anyone ever wants, which is why instead of sampling a bit of a possibly delicious new snacks, he's staring at the machine forlornly. As happens all too often, his purchase has gotten stuck between the glass and the row of food, so it seems to be hovering in front of his face, mocking him. He rests his head on the glass, silently beseeching the machine for mercy.
Silent vending machine prayers are also no good, so should anyone come upon him after far too long spent hoping for treats, they may find him crouched on the ground, arm shoved into the machine up to his shoulder as he tries another tried-and-true method of dislodging stubborn food from vending machines. He can't exactly hide what he was doing, so anyone he sees will be greeted with wide eyes and a guilty look.]
Oh... hello there? I'm just-- it ate my money?
[Obviously.]
[wildcard; come at me, I'm here for all of the things.]
Lavi
01 - Reading is FUNdamental
[Lavi is actually quite pleased with his new status as a Bishop; he doesn't have to feel as powerless, and there's a whole wealth of new things for him to study up on. It's a win-win as far as he's concerned.
While learning to work with his new weapon (an oversized scarf, which must be someone's idea of a hilarious joke, and he's a little bit inclined to agee) is something that only time and practice can help with, he's found that other talents can be put to more immediate use.
'More immediate use' meaning he's built himself a tiny table-fort of books in the library, because what good is being able to read them even faster if he's not working his way through all the endless volumes the library holds? Unfortunately, in his eagerness for reading Everything Ever, he's managed to stumble upon a less than delightful combination of dizziness and blurry vision from attempting to Scan far too much in a short amount of time.
Don't mind him. He's just going to slumped over in his chair, face pressed against the table and eye shut as he tries to wait out the effects. At least he probably won't wind up dozing off in the library again.]
02 - Alchemy 101
[Scanning isn't the only thing he wants to become more acquainted with. While dabbling with alchemy was never something he had seriously considered before getting stuck with the Hero gig, but here he is.
He's found a small workroom in the Hero Hall for trying out a few simpler alchemical creations, though he wisely has the window open just in case of any... accidents. If anyone happens to be walking by, they may hear the clink of metal and glass and steady stream of muttering about ratios and various ingredients. If anyone happens to be walking by a short time later, they may here a surprised yell and a minor explosion.
Thankfully (?) nothing is actually on fire, though Lavi is patting down his clothes because that was a close one. There's a mess of shattered jars and some different powders scattered about, and he's giving the area a considering look.]
Less saltpeter, more sugar? Maybe aluminum or magnesium with this instead...
[This will probably not be his last explosion for the day.]
03 - Can I go with the same title for a different letter prompt??
[Really, how hard can letter writing be? Lavi doesn't write letters; once he moves on to a new record, the people he's met before get relegated to merely being history anyway, so there's never been anyone he would have kept in contact with.
He can see why people would enjoy it though, and there's certainly nothing unusual with people needing a bit of encouragement, especially after recent events. Plus, it doesn't hurt to earn some extra money for essentially just writing things down. He can be found in various areas like the library or roof with letter-writing accessories and a stack of blank pages next to a much smaller stack of folded, completed letters. Judging from the way he keeps letting his attention wander from the task at hand, he's likely due for a break from jotting down encouraging but empty words to people he hasn't met.]

2 for lavi aka don't blow urself up
[anyway, time to STICK HER HEAD IN, waving her hand through the smoke]
Lavi! Are you alright?! [uwoo her bff, lavi!! except it's her bff lavi pinging all of her 'DANGEROUS SCIENCE??? DANGEROUS SCIENCE!!!' instincts...] What are you doing? Are you supposed to be in here?
[whose workroom did u MESS UP]
no subject
Hey, Lenalee-- yeah, I'm good. [Although... he's not even surprised or offended that she thinks he doesn't belong in here. He sort of feels that way, too.]
I'm learnin'. [People cause minor explosions in the pursuit of knowledge all the time. Some people probably do, at least?] S'a free room as long as nobody else is using it, so I claimed it for now. This way I can stay out of trouble, yeah?
no subject
That only works when you actually stay out of trouble, you know. [But it's more teasing than stern, because she's used to Lavi's Antics. She peers at one of the beakers.] You said you're learning, but... I don't remember you doing experiments like these back home.
[what's made lavi into komui]
no subject
You kiddin'? You really think I'd go messing with anything the Science Department had goin' on?
[He nods at the beakers, making a face at them, like it's their fault he blew one of them up.] This is only 'cause we're here. It's gonna-- once I figure this stuff out-- help out when we gotta go on missions or visiting a dungeon.
no subject
[And then her body stills, and she turns around to look at him.]
Missions... [ah, that's right.] So that's why.
[that's right, she wasn't the only one who had to adjust to this new world. but instead of doing something about it, she'd...]
You're amazing, Lavi. You're trying your best, even though it must have been just as hard for you too when you got here.
no subject
'Amazing' isn't the way he'd describe it, not even a little. Going from one horrible situation to one that was just as bad, or even worse, in its own way just meant that he has to truly push himself that much harder to survive.]
You sure you're not givin' me too much credit? [He's not dismissive about it, but he keeps his tone light.] And anyway, you really think I'd give up the chance to learn all this new stuff? S'only natural I'd be all about this.
no subject
I remember. You've always wanted to learn since the day I met you. [an old memory. she won't ever forget the day she first met Lavi (after the funeral... and after she stopped Kanda from killing him!!) and how curious he had been about the Order.]
...I'll have to do my best too! [she won't lag behind!! and she definitely won't drag Lavi and Allen down, not like she did in the ark.] Why don't I help you clean up first, then I can get you something to drink? Or maybe something to eat, if you're hungry.
no subject
Totally pretending like I didn't miss seeing I hadn't replied.Curiosity is part of it, naturally, but he really does want to get good at this. It's not the first time he's had to learn to adapt to new ways of fighting or living, of course, but if he can add more skills to his repertoire, so much the better.
... And also he really likes trying this stuff out.] S'a lot safer tryin' this stuff out here, too. [Relatively. No Komui with his Thoughts about inventing things, but Lavi's got terrible ideas all on his own.
He grins; she might not think so, but it's easy to see how she's adapting too, settling right into being cheerful and helpful even if things are really rough.]
That sounds pretty good, but I'm about due for a break anyway. We could go get something to eat together, though, how about that?
no subject
Sure! I'll bring back some coffee once we're done too, so you can have some while you work.
[one day... she'll get her own coffee machine and it will be grand... TIMESKIP TO EATING Y/N JO]
