april catch-all
WHO: Natasha
WHAT: patrolling, shopping, working her way through her marshmallows, the usual. As always, I'm open to wildcards, and will be happy to write a custom starter for anyone who wants one.
WHERE: shops, the PC apartment building, beyond the perimeter,
WHEN: Whole month of April. If you have a preference, feel free to pick the date.
WARNINGS: none yet
NOTES: Natasha also has a top level during the flower festival with available prompts for the 2nd-15th. So feel free to hit that up.
The fireflies can be their own prompt, or combined with something else. Feel free to pick the colour you want. If you don't, and leave it up to me, it's going to be a RNG situation.
I'm only going to be tagging in prose, but I don't care if you want to tag in actionspam if that's what you're most comfortable with. I have no problem with our styles not matching. I will match tense, though, so feel free to pick either past or present.
i - GYM
Natasha's working her way into a routine. It's not the world's largest comfort, but it's still a comfort. She wakes up early, heads out, and tries to calm her mind in the chaos of a busy city. Most mornings, the first place she heads is the gym. it's not particularly close, but she likes the walk, and it has the best facilities that she's found. She also gets a considerable discount here, as a member of the Perimeter Guard. On mornings when someone who looks like a decent challenge is around, she's always up for getting her workout in the form of a couple of rounds of sparring. On mornings when she can't find a partner, she runs through circuit training, instead, and finishes off with a few miles around the track or in the pool. If the weather's particularly good, she takes her run outside, instead, in the park.
ii - PERIMETER GUARD
Being on call for Search and Rescue is, at times, incredibly boring. A whole lot of hurry up and wait. She probably should be spending most of that down time staying rested and loose and ready. She doesn't, though. She paces the corridors, walks the wall, ducks in and out of the break room. Staying still is getting harder and harder. If it were possible to outrun doubts, she's pretty sure she'd never stop moving. As it is, taking on extra patrols is the closest she can come, hoping for a chance to let off steam, focused on the treeline,
high alert forcing other concerns to the back of her mind, if only for a little while.
iii - HOUSING
Now that she has a roommate, even though there's nothing at all wrong with the girl, Natasha find some self spending less and less time and then shared space. It's not Re-L's fault. It's nothing at all that she's done. Natasha just starts to get... stretched too thin around people. She wonders if that's ever going to go away again, if she'll ever bounce back. She hopes so. She doesn't particularly enjoy being this person, and she hates that she doesn't know how to fix it.
The balconies are still a favourite for her. She's begun heading to the one on the highest floor, watching stars that still aren't familiar, but have stopped being quite so unsettling in that regard. She lights one of the fire pits and continues to work her way stubbournly through her massive stash of marshmallows. Always with a book, though more and more often it's staying untouched on the seat next to her.
FIREFLIES
The fireflies become a sort of constant low level... threat isn't the right word, but it's close. Natasha can't stand the way the most effective repellent smells, so she waits for one that's entirely odorless, which takes a while. In the mean time, a bug bite is just a risk of existing. There's no way she's found to avoid them entirely without locking herself away and not doing her job, and she's not going to hide from a little bit of emotional overwhelm. Which means, as she goes about her day to day life, she's at risk.
WILDCARD!
You know the drill. Make up something else, and we'll rock the unexpected!
