[ open ]
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!

[ That said, he makes another, slight falling motion with his hand and an ethereal one appears in the air between them. It gives a slight wave before disappearing, and Cain puts his own hands into his pockets. ]
Mostly just the party tricks. The big ones from this kind of school... you only have enough energy for one or two of them a day. Not as much opportunity to practice.
[ That's right, Cain regularly blows all two of his Warlock spell slots! How extravagant! ]
I think I've got the hang of actually materializing your sort, too.
no subject
How inconvenient. Though I imagine that leads to some clever applications when you're not free to use magic as much as someone like myself.
[Right, yes, his style of magic. Back to being a teacher now.]
If you could demonstrate for me, I'd like to see how you've progressed.

[ Cain shifts, brows raised. For everyone else, he's only been showing off or trying the shield application of Victor's magic. When they're actually in a lesson, however, there's a different one that has him more interested.
He builds up the magic as he's been learning to do, takes a moment, then disappears with a slight zap. Where he is in the next instant is behind Victor, over his shoulder, grin on his face. First try. ]
no subject
You've improved. We'll have to start working on distance soon. I can only imagine you've been working on your shields as well.
no subject
Yeah, I've been working on everything.
[ That said, he raises his hand and his shield flickers to life. It's not very big, but it's solid and manages to keep its form until he lowers his hand again. ]
no subject
I can see that. You're progressing quite well, especially for someone who has no background in magic. Once you have these perfected, we'll move on to some of the more complicated spells.
