who: Cain (Jacob Kane) [[personal profile] 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!

[ Friday is very helpful when it comes to things like security, the whole workshop is a safe-zone for Loki like a fox with a bolt-hole whenever his den at the apartments feels more like he's sharing with hounds. He likes the single bed and meagre amenities, the way the fridge reflects whatever leftovers from meals he and Tony may have recently shared, and how it's also a place of learning for a godling who in a previous life scorned technology and learned little as a result.

It soothes his emotions and keeps his thoughts active, so he stays there when needs be. Tony hasn't kicked him out, so ... so far, so good. ]


Who are you?

[ What he doesn't appreciate is Friday's weird sense of AI humour in failing to let him know when they have visitors, so he has to stand there half-naked in undone jeans (he was brushing his teeth after a nap and luckily put on pants, the world can't judge him!!) staring at someone he only vaguely recognises off the network. ]

Um, Tony's out.

[ Itching his chest, Loki waves idly to the empty workshop. His gaze lingers on Jacob, flicking up and down curiously. ]

I was crashing here, I don't know when he'll be back. You had best wait for him, I'm not a messenger service.

[ He turns to head back the way he came, ducking out of sight briefly to grab a tshirt. It gets hauled on with a few quick tugs as he returns, pacing on bare feet. ]

You're the man Widowmaker saved, yes? When she broadcast to the network.

[Today's one of those lazy days where Dodger ran out of things to do much too early, so of course he went to go bother Cain before dinner was ready... but his phone had died shortly before he'd decided to go down, so he's bringing his robotic malinois along in case he gets any messages while he's away from his work.

Since Brink is just barely too short to comfortably teleport around with him, Dodger is actually walking when he comes into the kitchen and sits at attention, his dog following along and laying down at his feet - they've both managed to make little to no noise, so Cain might not have noticed them until Dodger speaks.

What's for dinner, Jake?

You were gonna cheat me out with just dessert? I thought we were friends.

[Wow, is that a joke? An honest-to-god, non-bitter joke? This truly is a miracle. Dodger even lets out a little laugh before leaning back in his chair.]

Hey - is there a homemade version of burgers? Think that'd be any good?

[He tips his head... oh yeah, grills are a thing. They're not something he thinks about very often, and he's never tried to use one, so.]

Just in the mood for 'em. If it's gonna be a problem I'm not gonna push for the impossible.

No, seriously, I don't wanna be a-

[...Wow, what is he saying? With pretty much anyone else he'd start making demands, but.. hell, Cain's been nicer to him than anyone else he's ever met. His face is actually sort of red as he shakes his head.]

...Just. Yeah. Alright. I'll come with you. Brink, get up.

Understood. [The dog easily gets to his feet and stretches before standing at attention.]

Oh. Uhh... yeah.

[Dodger was actually startled himself, having honed in on the panic Cain was feeling and taking a moment to realize it was just Brink causing the distress. Really? Being shot and having Dodger sneak up on him won't make him blink, but having a dog just sitting there is gonna fuck him up?

Well... he can't help filing that knowledge away for later.

...Brink. Say hello.

Pleased to meet you, Jake. My name is Brink. Please do not be alarmed, I cannot cause any harm without my master's direct orders or a violation of my security protocol.

If anyone enters Floor 4, Room 1 without authorization, they should be killed by any means necessary.

[What a great first impression. Dodger just sort of... resists the urge to put a hand to his face.]

Brink, add Jake to your whitelist for that, alright?

Understood. Security protocol will be disabled for Jake and Adam.

And call him Jacob.

Understood.

[Brink tips his head, before looking up at Dodger.] If I'm a problem, I can go back to guarding your room.

Uhh.. that might be a good idea. Jake, do you uh- need me to put him back? Just had him with me in case Adam called me, since my phone's dead - he's like a computer, sorta.

...Not gonna push you. I'll meet you down there, I gotta walk him back so I can open the door for him.

[Brink doesn't need to be told twice, and turns to leave before Dodger follows behind him.]

Out & About.

Look Out!

[A voice echoes through the air, followed shortly by a small ninja. Yuffie had been running across the rooftops when she'd decided to jump down to the street. What she isn't expecting is for someone to be standing in her landing area. Her frame twists in mid-air as she narrowly misses crashing into Cain and lands behind him instead.

She hits the ground at a roll before coming to stand on her feet.]


Made it!

[Yuffie flashes Cain a grin. She's short and dressed suspiciously like a ninja. She'd just come off of work at the perimeter guard so there is a green jacket tucked into her belt. She doesn't like wearing uniforms so she just keeps it with her to prove that she's working.]

Loki of Asgard, Earth-616. Aesir, God of Mischief.

[ Waving that aside, he meanders over to the bag that Cain has set down and peers at it, curiosity obvious as he stands closer than before. ]

What've you both been working on? Turret business? He's all about those turrets.
