what: general out and about for the month.
when: August (please specify when during the month you're tagging him!)
where: all over
warnings: none for the moment; will edit if need be


I ▹ PERIMETER GUARD ▹ SHUTTLE WORK

[ After the mission, getting the shuttle up and running, not to mention cleaning her up all nice and proper so she's ready for use again, is Jim's priority, and it's a project he throws himself into with vested interest and dedication. While the shuttle still works, there's a lot that needs repairing or even outright replacing, not to mention the overall old and worn aspect of both the interior and the exterior.

Despite this, Jim looks excited rather than bothered or tired, as he fumbles around the makeshift shuttle bay set up at the perimeter guard. Sounds of clinking and clattering around come from the area, and he can be found throughout the month working on several different aspects of the shuttle, from control panels to the shuttle exterior— repainting the outside completely, installing a more complete and advanced navigation system and flight controls, or he may just be found disappearing halfway into one of the panels beneath the dashboard, fumbling around with wiring and circuitry. If he hears someone approaching, he'll stick an arm out, gesturing vaguely towards a pen-shaped handheld device. ]

Hand me that laser cutter over there?

II ▹ CITY STREETS & OUTSKIRTS ▹ BIKE RIDE

[ In the midst of what starts to feel like a very good month, Jim gets a really nice surprise one of the days he gets to the perimeter guard: there, waiting for him, is an all too familiar bike— not just any bike either, but a peculiar engraving on the side of the leather seat lets him know that this exact bike used to belong to his father.

It's only natural that he takes especially good care of it, tuning it up and cleaning it until it's spotless and shiny, then promptly takes it out for a few spins during the next few weeks. From the city center to the outskirts where he won't find nearly as much traffic, he can be found just about anywhere, both riding the bike or taking a break somewhere, leaning comfortably against the seat as he sips on some juice or enjoys a tasty ice cream. Feel free to approach or even ask him to take you for a ride, if you happen to know him (or even if you don't, really). ]

III ▹ COMMUNAL APARTMENTS ▹ MOVING

[ Another change in Jim's life happens to be something he and Bones had been talking about, and finally now they've managed to find a place they both like and can afford (not that money's a problem for them, with both earning well and saving up the majority of what they earn). During the first two weeks of the month especially, Jim will be spending some time boxing up things and getting them ready for the move. They don't have a whole lot in their apartment here, and some of the lighter boxes he chooses to carry to their new home on his own. He'll smile at anyone he crosses paths with, daring to offer playfully to people he happens to know. ]

I'll accept a helping hand, if you've got the time.

IV ▹ ANYWHERE ▹ WILDCARD

[ Jim is nothing if not both active and sociable, so throughout the month it's not difficult to find him in several spots, be them bars and coffeeshops, parks, grocery stores, and even the hospital when he's coming over to meet up with Bones.

He also feels the shift of the city when the strange outbreak sweeps the Quarantine and causes some random cases of memory loss. It is, sadly, something he's not unfamiliar with, but more than his insight on their mission beyond the walls and sharing some details he happens to remember, he finds himself overall useless in finding a resolution or a cure. He will, however, try to help anyone who happens to be affected by the outbreak. ]

[ Finding new and secluded places to tuck herself had become a bit of a sport for Re-L. It wasn't as though she was a stunning example of a social butterfly in any sense of the word, and now that she'd come to find out, one after another, all the viruses and germs she'd apparently missed out on as a child in a dome she'd managed to become somehow a little more withdrawn. She'd say, if anyone cared to ask, that it was for her health and for the most part it was. On the other she simply didn't want to deal with this whole ordeal of being around too many other people for the sake of a festival or something. It all had seemed fun in the beginning but now that it had happened month after month -

There's a slightly paranoid part of her that wonders why they need all this distraction.

Regardless, she's decided to take a walk today, get out of her apartment for a little while after some disinfecting and letting the place air out a little instead of being her convalescent home, dressed in her typical all black just, you know, some shorts and some tennis shoes. There's been no expectation to run in to anyone, much less Jim, and she seems a little surprised before clearing her throat.

Thankfully Jim wouldn't need explanation. She's sure he's heard all about her issues from Bones - ]

What's that you've gotten your hands on?

[ while it's the latter days of the month, it's still jyn's first week with the perimeter guard and her first week on the moon itself so she's spent most of her time orienting herself, which is how she wound up in the pseudo-hangar in the first place. ships are familiar, at the very least, and when a voice asks for a laser cutter she scoops it up automatically.

even if she doesn't pass it over right away, turning it over in her hand, as she observes the outstretched hand from within the freshly painted ship. ]

Haven't you got an astromech for that?

[maintenance is familiar enough that cassian likes to hang out in the shuttle bay; it reminds him of home, even if he doesn't have his own ship or shuttle. it's not hard to figure them out here, but that sort of technological understanding has always been fairly easy.]

[even if he hasn't been doing surveyor work very long, he recognizes the man working on the shuttle from the perimeter guard when he's there closer to the end of august, but cassian rarely forgets a face.]

[he grabs the laser cutter without even thinking, barely even noticing the gesture towards it. cassian drops it in the open hand.]

Is it yours? [cassian saw him painting the shuttle too, but you never know!]

[In communicating with Beverly, Rey had learned of a shuttle by the perimeter guard. A shuttle, regardless of its condition, could mean there was the chance to go home. It was a risky shot though. It seemed those who were interested in using it, wanted to explore more of the area, verses finding a way out--and she could understand, or at least try to. With no map, and lack of a worm hole, it would take years to get back...assuming they ever did and didn't die.

Still, she wanted to see if she could help. Poe would most likely say yes, and he was someone she could trust. Whereas this Jim Kirk person...she would have to meet. It took some time to actually locate where the shuttle was. Rey was still trying to get her bearings of the city, especially with the event going on. She had her staff slung across her back, and her pouch on her hip that had Luke's light saber. Neither item was willing to leave behind.

The shuttle reminded her of the other abandoned and broken ships on Jakku, but it looked like there were some improvements to it. Poe was the best pilot in the Resistance, and it would make sense for him to know every piece, and every part of a ship to make it work. Especially when there wasn't a droid to help speed up the process.

She tried to keep her footsteps light, but apparently someone heard her. She looked down to see a tool on the floor and an arm sticking out. Interesting...Rey picked up the item and handed it to the stretched out hand.]

Are you Jim Kirk?
