[OPEN] I sing a bitter song

WHO: Yulia Bostova & You
WHAT: Catch-all for pre-campaign all the way up to June 14th (Yes, the first day of classes)
WHERE: Anywhere
WHEN: Anytime
SAFE FOR WORK? Y...for now.
OTHER NOTES: If your character has been in Falner for the past few days/months/years leading up to the first day of classes at Balamb, then feel free to to tag in :) Feel free to reply in prose or action, I don't really care which! Just indicate when the thread is happening :)

a. gisi
Zangyaku's base of operations in Falner; usually, you can find her at an izakaya at the Entertainment District. If she's not there, try the Hot Springs; she usually takes over operations there. If not there, check the Sky Steps, or Sabina's office, or with some of the other Whisperers. Good luck getting her to talk, though.

b. around falner
If she's in the Great Hall, it's usually because of a Hound or two. She doesn't stay too long there, though. She can also be found at the Shatterdome, terrorizing Netsach initiates. If she's at the lake, it's best to leave her alone.

c. shatterdome barracks
She lives on the fifth floor of Zangyaku's barracks. Or, she could be visiting the barracks for Aegis Kai Doru or the Thrones. Who for? Wouldn't you like to know.

d. choose your own adventure
There are a lot of places you can run into Yulia. Pick one and go for it!

YULIA, SOS! MAJOR SOS!!!!!!!!!!!! :( :( :( :( :( :(

[ This is totally coming out of the blue, okay.

Totally.

[ He was watching, of course. He used to be a part of the Wind: the Ceremony of Measuring is relevant to his interests all on its own. And this also has to do with you.

Yes, it was painful. That is precisely why, sometime after the festivities die down and everyone's gone their separate ways throughout Seigi, you're getting a text. ]

I'm up on the rooftop of the Mortician's living quarters if you need a drink. I have a lot of different ones to choose from.

[ He really, really does, and - if you do come around - you'll see that all of them are your favorites. ]

[ Professionally speaking, Hikaru Shinta has been really, really good and professional about all of this. In the past three weeks, he has had to deal with his boyfriend dying, said boyfriend becoming a Card, getting into a massive argument with boyfriend, finding out that his not!geist best friend (who was also an ex-lover that he valued very much, by the way) is dying, fixing the ritual to prevent said not!geist best friend from dying, and then handling all of the Vigil stuff that comes with all of that with amazing efficiency.

The trade-off? He's shut himself up in his home at Kibo ever since Makoto Kuzunoha became a Reaper. He doesn't go out unless he's on Duty (which he has increased from the original 21:00-03:00 to 19:00-07:00), and he's ordered the Zashiki-Warashi to only come around when he tells them to. He's also not all that good at responding to calls, texts, or messages over the network. The people who have managed to see him all say the same thing: he is Fucked Up; they also end up having to force Hikaru to let them stay. Most people, though, are turned away at the door.

You're welcome to try and see him, though. Trying is always good, right? ]

[ She had been meaning to visit the place, and she had also been meaning to talk with Yulia, specially after talking to Josh and Liandrin. Both of them had suggested she double checked the Bladian's commitment, and the Kaiser had gone as far as suggesting her to look for other alternatives; whether the woman had meant to say Yulia wasn't really mentor material or that Sophie wasn't mentee material for Yulia, she didn't know, and Sophie had made a point of not thinking about it too much; it just wouldn't do to resent the goddamn Kaiser. Sophie had no trouble reminding herself that she wasn't anything special and so the fact her betters looked down at her (not wishing her ill, but still) was simply because she had yet to prove herself. All in good time, she supposed.

Sophie hadn't been sure of what to expect to find in Gisi, but she was immediately taken aback by the beauty and otherworldliness of the place. She needed to double check the way she had taken to make sure she was still within Falner and even after that the sensation didn't quite lessen.

Finding Yulia proved to be a bit of a task, specially since Sophie didn't know neither the woman's schedule nor anyone she felt comfortable enough to ask. She was aware that she was a Whisperer, so that lead her to the Entertainment District. People turned here and there to look at her, some even commenting things she was trying not to eavesdrop, but for the most part Sophie was glad to notice they all quickly went back to their businesses, whatever they might be. She probably stood out like a sore thumb, not being part of Zangyaku and being relatively new.

There is a lot to see and try, but Sophie isn't playing tourist. Well, maybe a little. Some innocent sightseeing later, she enters the izakaya where a familiar blonde is sitting. Sophie takes the seat next to her, still sorting her thoughts while she checks the menu provided to her. She really shouldn't be looking at the beer selection. ]

Any suggestions?

[ So apparently this is how it's gonna be. ]

[ This one's driving over a little past dinnertime and making his way to Little Gion to hunt you up. The month is nearly up and they've given you your space, but you can't sulk forever, Yulia.

You probably noticed him when he came in. That was deliberate on his part. The only people that deserve sneaking up on are those who have it coming. You don't. It's been a rough month for your pride. ]

I swear, everytime I come here I'm reminded of Shin Yamatai.

[ He can joke about that now. He looks back fondly and with less facepalming than he used to.

Have Here's one Josh LaRue sliding into the seat opposite you. He's already gesturing for another bottle of sake. He's going to need it, if he's going to successfully drag you out of your slump. ]

[ Here's a text sent your way, Inquisitor Bostova. It's that time of the week again. ]

SENT: 11:02PM
pick you up at the barracks or do i drive over to gisi?

[ Because that's kind of far. ]

[ It's about a little before two in the afternoon when she and Rin ( u-u he is so nice ) break apart. Clutching her phone, she wanders around for a bit before she sights the tram that moves around Central District.

She is not in a hurry to go home yet. But she also said she would be back before sundown.

u-u

This is coming your way, Yulia. She's not confident about text messages, but is following Josh's instructions right down to how he and her King showed her how to use her phone.

CALLING: YULIA BOSTOVA

It doesn't occur to her that you might not have her number ( you do, Josh gave it. )]

[He had headed down to the Shatterdome to join his blademates and several other initiates to start the day off with a round of training. That shouldn't have worried him at all. So, he's trying to ignore that bad feeling he'd been having as he makes his way to one of the training halls.

Nothing to worry about, right?]

[ Have a Kaz knocking on your door, Yulia. ]

Yulia? You in?

[ He could've Channelsurfed through your phone, but he didn't. He learned from that time he tried and nearly fell to his untimely temporary demise. ]
