I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things [Semi-Open]

[espigeonage]

Who: Julien and whoever decided to come with him! See the plot post.
Where: The Locke City Reservoir, maybe an hour's drive west of the city center. It's a fair-sized lake surrounded by forest, with a shoreline that is mostly inclined gravel. It's not suited to canoeing or camping and isn't a recreation site, but the area isn't exactly off limits either.
When: Sunday the 11th! Forwards-dated slightly.
What: Finding the source of the contaminated water.


[This is three threads. Please, PM or plurk me if you have questions or concerns. I'm Joysweeper.

Thread one is pre-reservoir on the tenth - as part of the handwaved preparations Julien wants to see if people actually can sneak, so asked some of the volunteers to meet him in a park. This is specifically set up so Julien can meet Alex and Nick in separate threads, but if anyone else wants to meet/talk casually with him, even if they're not going on to the next two threads, feel free!

Thread two is finding the site and Julien deciding to stake it out. His plan is for some quieter people to be investigating with him, a bunch of more combat-oriented ones hanging back in the woods, and a few people even farther back at the cars, but he doesn't really have authority. Feel free to have people from any group mingle and kill time together, especially if it's been a while since he decides to wait.

Thread three is the tanker full of pink goop showing up, a few hours after thread two started. You're fully welcome to have a character who was in thread two decide to leave and not be there for three! This is kind of in the middle of nowhere but waiting is boring.]

Oh, Toushirou had seen the 'bug-form' before; he wasn't fool enough to think that Hajime had come unprepared. He wasn't paying too much attention to how Hajime was carrying himself, but he did catch the skeptical tone of voice.

A brief, mildly irritated glance back before going back to watching for trouble. "I'm fine."

Honestly. He'd been in the Dead District that night. He'd been in the mine that day. And he'd made it out all right both times. With some help, sure, but he hadn't been a liability. He wouldn't be one here, either.

Hajime wasn't as much concerned about liabilities as he was the kid's mental health. Enough of this stuff was traumatic, put bluntly enough. He kept his own gaze steady on the lake and tried to act as casual as possible. "Look...if they do attack, let me out there first. I'm...I guess you could say I'm kind of like a bulldozer."

There. He figured he'd phrased that in a slightly less patronizing way than if he'd said, "get behind me." Slightly.
