A. Fourth Floor Kitchen
[Some might expect to be given housing after coming through the portal and going through orientation. Jack, on the other hand, is still uncertain that he's acquired an apartment for the rest of his stay. It's weird to suddenly have this? So he resorts to the best thing to clear one's mind.

Tea.

The stove fire's alight underneath a pot of water. Sitting and meditating on the tile floor doesn't feel out of place for one of the new residents. Yes, the straw hat next to him has a small black hole on the front.]

B. Perimeter Guard
[Employment is...odd. Without any way to actively pursue a way back, Jack's becoming familiar with the Perimeter Guard faculties. The barracks only have a straw hat on a bed as his claim, though he does try to check to see if it's taken ahead of time.

Jack can be found anywhere since he's thorough. The training grounds are getting a good use and he'll be replacing some of those practice dummies. Arrows, throwing weapons, you name it and he's trying them out.

Except firearms, those stay untouched.]

C. Entertainment/Shopping
[There's so much to buy, look at, watch, and eat! Well, for everyone else.

Jack looks quite out of place and not only because of his garb. His interest is far away from the flashing advertisements and loud sales people outside some of the shops. The flowers and plants are getting inspections and testing sniffs from him.

A few leaves and petals get plucked and some plants are even pulled out to expose the roots.]

D. Wildcard
(ooc: Make your own! Jack's literally going to be anywhere on the moon, no matter how safe or dangerous.)

[Professor Sycamore is not one of those shopaholics, yet he does have an interest regarding their stores and cafes. But while he is looking at one of the stores, his Garchomp notices a man in a strange outfit somehow inspecting at the flower and plants around him.

To her, she tries to slowly approaches him just to see what he is doing out of curiosity. But for him, he might see that she's about to make an ambush.]

[Different species from different planets don't faze Jack, he's seen too much. A shark...ish creature eyeing him?

Oh yeah. That's got his attention.

His hat draws back when he straightens his posture and he unblinkingly stares at the curious monster. A slowpoke might be jealous at the pace his hand releases a white flower in favor of reaching for the sheathe on his hip.]

[Don't worry about Garchomp. She is still just staring at the samurai now in shock.

However, Professor Sycamore notices what is about to happen and quickly rushes in to defend his Mach Pokemon.]

No, wait! She's not one of the monsters!

[Unfortunately for him, his newfound powers somehow have a bad sense of timing as any nearby objects such as pots, watering can, and other things you find at the flower shop starts to levitate. Not only that, they are somehow targeting the samurai as they are about throw themselves.]

[Aside from breathing, Jack's a complete statue; waiting for the next action to determine what course to take.

When is a monster not a monster?]

What...?

[Surprise! That action doesn't come from the creature at all.

The quick question is all that gets snatched out of his mouth before a flash of reflective light reveals his katana in answer to suddenly floating objects. His blade wok will prove to be just as fast if they come his way.]

[At least Jack is fast enough to draw his katana as the objects around him then start to throw themselves to the samurai. Garchomp on the other hand quickly heads to his side and helps him out on deflecting the objects with her claws.

If Jack manages to block them, he may see more of them coming in their way. Thankfully, Sycamore quickly notices what was happening and quickly stops the rest of the objects in mid-flight before he lets them fall down to the ground.

However, he did earn him a face palm on his own face, realizing the chaos he unknowingly unleashed on.]

Mon Dieu... I did it again...

[That's all he can say before he is hit by a short headache, which his Garchomp quickly rushes to his side so she can help him.]

[Honed skills make it seem like Jack knows where to preemptively place either the edge or the ridge of his blade. That tense moment of not knowing if he has to defend himself from both beast and pottery feels like it might last eternity.

But no, it passes and he quickly falls into a matching pace with the monster's swipes until...crisis averted?]

You caused this?

[Oh. Well. That question can wait. Jack swiftly sheathes his sword and precariously approaches the duo.]

Are you alright?

[The question's to both, his glance at the littered floor goes from creature to human. Jack's affinity for animals is present when he doesn't feel like they might be threatening him.]

[Once his headache is gone, Sycamore manages to get up from the floor as his Garchomp helps him out. Of course, once Jack asks if they are alright, the Mach Pokemon just growls in order to tell him she's okay.]

I'm alright. But as for the chaos you've experienced, I'm afraid to say that I'm responsible for all of this.

[It's not every day that you come out of one of your favorite bakeries to find some man inspecting and pulling out the plants in front of it. Yuuri pauses, frowning. Judging by the way some of the other shoppers and nearby store employees are eyeing the man, Yuuri doesn't think this is something they were expecting either.]

Um... what are you doing?

[Is there something wrong with them??]

[Jack looks over to the source of the question, soil idly dropping from the root of the dandelion he was smelling.]

I cannot make anymore tea.

[He brings up his other hand to cradle the uprooted flower to help his explanation. Somehow.

Probably not.]

This place has many ingredients. I thought to replenish my stock.
