who: Cain (Jacob Kane) [aeturnus] / You!
what: Catch-all for the rest of the month
where: Floor Six, out in the city, Gramarye
when: July 15th-31st
warnings: n/a, will edit as necessary. pls tell me what he'd see on your character, though!
Floor Six.
[ Cain's not one much to outright bug people in their home turf. Unfortunately for the people that live on the sixth floor of communal housing, it's also his home turf and so he's definitely made himself comfortable in the meanwhile. For quite some time now, he's had a table set up in the corner of the central room with various bits and bobs and inventions — more recently, they've begun to take more concentrated shapes such as a briefcase or something circular of the same size. There's a notebook laying on the disc and, for those who know technical jargon, it appears to be working out methodology for allowing the objects to go down and up in size without harming the structural integrity. It notes his own laptop as the first example which is probably why this isn't all typed down in the first place.
There's a small bear that accompanies Cain around the floor half the time, has been around since mid-June when he recovered from the Chalice's power, strange but perhaps not too strange for where they all are right now. It speaks in simple utterances but appears to enjoy all the floormates, especially if they feel like giving it food. Where is it the other half of the time??? Good question.
Aside from that, most days he cooks for himself and others if asked. His cooking skills are fantastic, definitely above bar even when he's just making something quick, and he never really minds sharing. Once a week, however, he seems to plan something more specific and even starts setting up the making of a cheesecake; when he puts that one in the freezer to set, he puts a note on saying it's off-limits. Weird!
Other than that he's probably got a lot of books around his bed and always seems to be doing... something even if it's quiet. Finding him truly at rest and unbusy is near to impossible. At least he still sleeps sometime, at the very reasonable hours of 4-9AM. ]
Out & About.
[ There's a lot of time spent out in the city. When he isn't working on his job, projects, magic lessons, physical training, or language lessons for friends, he's wandering. It's about 40/60 since not everything is done all at once or on the same days and he knows how to structure himself. There's still too much to see in the city and more often than not he wanders just to cement the buildings and businesses in his mind, keeping an eye out for anything new or places that may have shut down or changed due to people being relocated or going home.
There's some of that, but not as much as he'd hope or expect.
Still, he forges on and keeps an eye out. Things happen all the time and he'd rather not miss it. Or at least he'd rather be there in person because inevitably everything ends up on the internet. Sometimes he'll even have purpose, such as shopping for groceries or checking out various tech shops as if he can discern their secrets just from window-shopping. ]
Gramarye.
[ Cain's here once or twice a week for multiple reasons. Much as his world is about as magical as a brick (ghosts and Reapers aside), he's found an aptitude for it within himself and takes lessons from Victor von Doom and Lucretia. So, of course, he stops by and peruses their books where he can.
Most notably he's been helping Lucretia with her project to collate information on various worlds' magical influences and how casting works there, so sorry not sorry if you get stopped to answer a few questions or maybe they just need some clarification on a statement you already made? Or maybe he's just hogging the copier because Lucretia takes Many, Many Notes and he needs versions of them for himself too.
He's probably hogging the copier the most, tbh. ]
For Loki (616).
[ Although Cain's notably been avoiding showing up to Tony's lab directly, after sending that game-like testing application to Tony (okay, maybe it really is just a game pretending to be something useful), he stops by to see if it's helped on the progress of the actual things. Unannounced because it's more of a work location than a home location and he figures if Tony's general attitude and work ethic are to base anything off of, he's probably there, right? Right.
So he shows up, laptop-phone-ridiculous-thing in his pocket and a few things he's been working on in his bag. That it doesn't seem occupied at first glance is surprising, but he'll go ahead and enter anyway. Not like a security system is really going to do much more than alert people he's here. That's the whole point. ]
Hey... Tony?
Wildcard!

Gang I grew up in what all about bringing back the 50's, the people that raised me were all about the swing. It's... kinda embarrassing, all things considered. [He shrugs.] But, yeah... if you wanted to learn, it never hurts. Not much place for it in clubs and shit, though.
no subject
Well, I used to go dancing in the seventies but it wasn't anything particular. And hey, you never know when something old might be useful.
no subject
[He raises a brow.]
What'd you think of it, anyway? Greasers, and... pin-up girls and shit.
[His only real knowledge of the 50's comes from Benny's idealized version... so.]
no subject
[ He says it kind of pointedly but not unkind. ]
Well... it's hard to say because the world itself has been pretty much going radically fast the last hundred and fifty years or so. A new trend every decade is pretty insane. Beat the ones before it, I'll say that.
no subject
[There is... a very bitter laugh here. God, he's a mistake of nature.]
no subject
Six of one, half-dozen of the other. There have been drugs for way longer than there's been society to outlaw them. Then again, when I say stuff like that I just sound really, really old.
no subject
You wanna get high with me some time, old man?
no subject
It's been a while since I've done anything like that. Do they even have any traditional stuff here?
no subject
[His eyes light up.]
If you wanna get crazy fucked up, I can probably cook up some Saturn's Blood. But that's a 24 hour commitment.
no subject
[ Well, of his own accord, anyway. His recent experiences with drugs, overexposure and withdrawal were decidedly less intentional. ]
Haven't heard about Saturn's Blood before. What even is that?
no subject
It's some dark alley shit from my world. Puts you in this... sorta crazy trance - time slows down, you get crazy fucking hallucinations, lights get all intense. Takes 24 hours for it to get outta your system enough to function again, and the hangover'll fuck you up - but trust me, it's worth it.
[He... didn't spend a day off of it for three years, so it must be good for something.]
Sex is pretty fantastic on it, too.
no subject
[ He's pretty good-humored about it, though. He probably shouldn't mention he's more or less immune to hangovers unless he goes so far into something he comes out on the complete other side. ]
Doesn't sound completely awful, but starting small is probably the better bet.
[ ... not that he's making any commitments yet, but at least Dodger's excited about it. ]
no subject
[Dodger is a creature of excess, so starting small seems boring to him.. but he knows not everyone can handle plunging head-first into things like he does.]
no subject
[ He waves his hand in the air as if waving that comment off for now. ]
That's pretty much a day gone on its own, too. I'll consider it.
no subject
Been a while since I've gotten stoned, I bet we could get together some stoner flicks to zone out in front of. I mean- y'know, if you want. It'd be fun, though.
no subject
[ Something from another reality would be something to behold, that's for sure. ]
no subject
[Furry Cheech and Chong, maybe.]
