you say I got karma to collect; (OPEN)

[codes]

Who: Rin Tousaka & your poor unfortunate soul.
What: Generic mingle log with prompts, but feel free to add your own. I'm super flexible.
When: September 1st ~ September 7th.
Where: Throughout the city.

        ( 1. Newbie Housing )
[ Rin's the kind of gal that doesn't stray far from her "home" now that she has one. Not that she allows her roommate(s) to ever see her. Locked indoors in her room with a chair, she goes to extreme levels to remain a NEET. It isn't out of hate for those around her, but because Lunamon wishes to have more privacy along with Rin's desire to continue work on her D-Terminal undisturbed. However, this is one of those rare times that she's actually out and about! Sometimes her arms may be full of bags from one of the shops or with books from the library; either way, she can use a hand if there's anyone nearby willing. ]

        ( 2. City limits )
[ Throughout the week, Rin's hard at work with picking up stray documents found within the abandoned buildings. One might mistake this for cleaning up the litter, but for someone who's proficient in enough languages, this is what she uses to help decipher certain things. Plus, who knows what other clues she might find? Some of the buildings she enters alone though can't really be safe for a girl in shoes like that, right? ]

        ( 3. Nighttime )
[ Part of her skill in dodging potential other Chosen is to be out at all sorts of hours. This is why she's perched up along the roof of one of the buildings across from a river to stare at Palette Town with a bored look. Something about the scene really seems unnerving; maybe she's used to sitting by herself on rooftops? That sort of thought is kind of silly to have, don't you think? ]

        ( 4. Any )
[ Hit me up with a prompt you feel works or coordinate with me @ aozaki! ]

Well, uh. [She grins sheepish, shrugs.] I'm living by myself, over in one of the Crest Districts. But there's a guy doing the fawning...

[NOT IMPORTANT!!!] Still like to drop by this place, from time to time, but getting time to myself is good too.

[codes]

[ That's right. They get to live alone if they get a Crest. Honestly, that should be the only reason Rin needs to pursue one, but she finds herself unable to force Lunamon to fight again. ]

Oh, so there is a guy huh? [ A dangerous smile creeps up on her face. ] Who is it?

[for_granite]

[Oh, she's seen that smile before.

On predators.]

Name's Beastboy, I knew him from back home. Green skin, pointy-ears? [She mines the ear part.] He's...sweet, and funny.

[codes]

[ That's a good word to describe her. ]

Oh yeah, that mouthy guy? Kind of hard to avoid him. [ She says that softly, but that was kind of a veiled insult at the same time wasn't it? ] Well, if he gives you any trouble let me know.

I could probably give him a good run for his money. Oh hey, is he rich? If I'm going to beat him up for pestering you, I may as well get something out of it at the same time.

[for_granite]

Huh? Wh-- no, no, you got it wrong, I like him, he's not pestering me!

He's...sort of my boyfriend. [Aw, Terra always likes saying that.]

[codes]

Sort of your boyfriend? So what is he your boyfriend some days and other days he's just not? How does a sort of boyfriend work out anyway? Like if you're having a bad day and don't want him around, he's still getting in trouble for not cheering you up?

[ Just admit it already, girl. ]

[for_granite]

[RIN........]

Okay, okay, yes he's my boyfriend. Don't be so literal!

[codes]

Hey now, you're the one going on about how he is sort of your boyfriend. I had to know where you draw the line and if you were on the market. Never know when I might try to set you up--that's something gals do for their pals, isn't it?

[ Tip: never accept a date from Rin. ]

[for_granite]

With their knowledge of it, bind dates suck. That's not a date, that's throwing someone in the deep end.

[codes]

Yeah, but it's so much fun to watch someone flail around in the water until they regain their footing.

... or in that case, learn how to swim. Don't tell me you're dead weight and will just sink right away.

[for_granite]

Remind me to not use metaphors with you. It got creepy.

[codes]

It wasn't that bad... [ No, it really was. ]

[for_granite]

[A slight groan.] So why isn't your partner out with you? ...She shy?

[codes]

You're just now figuring that out?

[ Honestly it's because she still isn't over the Dark Digivolution, but Rin's not about to mention that. ]

She's always been shy. I don't think she gets along well with anyone here other than Fluttershy.

[for_granite]

She sounds sweet... I bet Gots would get along fine with her.

[He was also worried about her after the Dark Digivolution, but that's something off-topic.]

Maybe if ya coax her out gently...

[codes]

Maybe, but as I see it? If she doesn't want to go out and spend time with others, why should she have to?

Geez, maybe I'm kind of a bad person if I'm willing to enable her poor behavior like this though.

[for_granite]

Not like...make her a social butterfly...just seems kinda sad that she just sits in her room and doesn't really talk to a lotta people.

But you're right, forcing her's not exactly good either.

[codes]

She talks to me. Are you saying I'm not good company?

[ Because she totally is or else her Digimon wouldn't spend so much time with her! ]

[for_granite]

She's not with you now.

[codes]

Maybe she has her own Digilife and doesn't need to be attached to me all the time like many of the other partners here. I can fight on my own and if she wants to, she can fight on her own just as well.

[for_granite]

But you said she doesn't have many friends...

Besides, everyone who's tried fighting on their own hasn't had things go well for them.

[codes]

Ugh--you caught me. I think she just mopes around a lot and there's really nothing I can do for that.

... Except throw her into the deep end and hope she swims. I wonder.

[for_granite]

...I'd actually offer Gots, but he can be really overbearing.

I dunno...there's gotta be some way.

[codes]

I don't think it'd be wise to send another Digimon at her... Hm, people do those stupid mission things all the time, don't they?

[ Maybe they can go on a mission together. ]

[for_granite]

Hey, yeah... Bond over, obligation, or duty, all that. Maybe that'd help her break out of her shell.
