middaeg | The Room where it happens (open catch all!)

Who: Sokie and you!
When: All month
Where: All over the city and on the outskirts
What: Open starters for Sokie as she tries to be productive!
Warnings: TBA

I: Parliament

[There was a lot of listening on Sokie's part, which may have seemed unusual for those who Kew her. Usually she was chatty, filled with charm and wit- but in Parliament, she dressed in a formal business suit and took notes (and also doodled). In exiting a meeting, she paused outside of the building and took a few moments to stretch. Her butt felt sore for sitting still so long.]

My butt hurts. I guess this is why I've always turned down a desk job.

[She needed to do some yoga and have a run. And a bath.]

II: Radio Hour

[Anyone and everyone could call or text in, but Sokie would stay on voice since...well, she was on the morning hour with her radio advice show. Which was on right now, live.]

Hello dear listener, welcome to An Undertaking with Undertown. What question can I answer today?

III: Teaching Magic

[She left a notice on te boards again. It wasn't good last month, by this time...maybe She could help some of the newbies learn their magic or how to counter it.

She asked them to meet at the entry of Haven, and after some introductions, things would move on from there. Well. She got to the point really.]

So, what do you want to learn today?

IV: A different kind of practice

[It was true she had a baton, but it was the kidnapping and speaking to Sephiroth that was a wake up call. Heck, she might have even been denying it, since the snow storm.

But she found a smithy and was going through the weapons, one by one, trying to find which would suit her best. So far, nothing really caught her eye but...she found one, and lightly twirled tin in one hand.]

It feels nicer but I think I need to put this through its paces.

...hey. You wouldn't mind going for a round, right?

[Sorry curious customer and or passerby. Sokie wants a smol fite.]

V: A moment of quiet

[She was in a corner of a cafe, or maybe just in Diplomatea. As usual, there were books around her, papers of various formulae, but she seemed more interested in her tea or coffee then she was in her work. Seeing someone nearby, she made a beckoning motion with her hand.]

Don't worry, I can move my stuff. Why don't you come sit?

VI: Wildcard

All other options, including hunting outside of the city can be done here! Any questions, comments, can be directed to my discord or at my plurk!

No iron. [She was firm on that. Her blades didn't have much and they stung. ]

I've been working most the day for the past week. I should be able to find something. Even if it's just a knife.

It's a joke Mikasa.

[She knows puca and fae aren't good with iron at all.]

Did you want a loan? I can loan you the money. This is important if you're planning on going outside the Bright Wall.

[She was never sure with Sokie.]

No. [That didn't sound right, it caused a niggling feeling in her gut at the thought of accepting it.] I don't want to owe anyone. I'll be alright.

[It didn't help with how Sokie talked.]

Would it be so bad to accept a loan?

[She's being completely serious, and there's a shift in her expression. She even looked ...worried for her.]

[The worry only got sharply narrowed eyes aimed at her. ]

I'll be fine. I've been working.

[There had been worse times. Much worse. Where they'd had to go without eating. Here she had enough to buy food, a roof, a bed. It really wasn't as dire. She just had to keep going. ]

You really get testy whenever I offer that.

You know I'm not trying to make this weird right? I'm trying to help because I like you.

Even if I'm a pain in the ass.

And you'll be out of pocket if I suddenly leave. I'd rather not cause trouble...[People got horrible over money. Reeves had been willing to leave people to die for it, so had the nobles. It was too much trouble. She'd stick to what was needed.

But then she turns to look fully, blinking. ]

What.. Do you mean?

It's my problem if it causes trouble. If I really wanted money, I know exactly how to get more. I don't really depend on it for much.

[She huffs a sigh, and leans over, gently clasping Mikasa on the shoulder.]

You're a good person. You're a caring person. I like that about you.

Hell, I'd enjoy sleeping with you if it didn't fluster you so much.

[She let her hand drop, and she moved towards the store.]

So I'm going to help you.

...I'll think about it. Okay? [It wasn't like she hadn't accepted charity before. But it didn't seem right. Not now, not when she was so capable of looking out for herself. Glancing at the hand that pats her.]

You hardly know-

[Huh?]

[Huhhh-]

Huh?

[Just, enjoy her going full tomato as that registers and she nearly trips up. Pausing in the middle of the street. Blankly staring. Pupils expanding to cover her eyes.]

[Wait, it's Sokie. She says these strange things out of nowhere. She didn't mean it that way.

...Yes that was it. Even if Mikasa was still read, still being a hand up to her chest and just stood there.]

It's fine. I managed to find somewhere to live. I don't need a place to stay.

[Sokie clearly mean innocent sleeping together. Because Mikasa was poor. Yes.]

No, I meant sex.

[She says it so casually with a waved hand. As if she hadn't seen Mikasa just go through a crash and reboot!

Sokie...you're the worst aren't you...]

I figured you have a place by now.

[Sokie... Why dis... What did she do to you to deserve this.

Mikasa coughed or choked, making a small spluttery sound. Standing there frozen. Not even making the confused noises from her trying to think of words before. Then there's another noise. One that sounds more like an animal groaning as it gave up than a human. Mmmgh...

Then she...

.... She just slowly wanders off. Where's she going? The shops right there. Sokie was pretty much in the door! But no, it's slow enough to easily catch up with the aimless drifting. It didn't actually seem to be going anywhere. Just moving for the sake of not standing still.

Goodbye she's gone. Even her body was there and moving. ]
