Who: Church, OPEN
What: Exploring this weird-ass place now that he's not glued to Ardyn's side
When: A day or two after getting back from the fissue, over the few days after that
Where: Everywhere and anywhere. Just. Anywhere he can get into
Warnings: nothing but language for now

[Church decides to peel himself from Ardyn's side and do what he does whenever there's a new section that opens up to him. He explores. He starts from the bottom, at the generators--and he is baffled, truly baffled by the setup. It's not high tide, but it's clear that high tide does bring the water. That's dangerous, someone's gonna slip and fall. And, sure, hydro power's a thing, but do they have to put all of the gennies in the place full of water? What happens during hurricanes? There doesn't seem to be anything of actual interest here, though, and he heads up.

The farm level makes him hesitate. It's not the sprawling garden, so it's...fine. And it's useful. And he's sure Yuuri must love it here. He peeks into every room, and even grabs himself a handful of blueberries he finds growing in a room. Also there are chickens? He finds this out when he opens the compost-and-chicken room, grossed out and confused, and there's a tiny chicken running past his legs?? No?? Catch that chicken??

The residential area he's become passingly familiar with now, what with food and rooms. Mostly he just makes mental notes of the rooms. Nobody wants Church to try cooking anything, and he knows it all too well.

The research level is by far the most interesting, and you know what? Of course Church is going to visit and poke around each lab. He's probably touching things he shouldn't touch. He won't break anything, though! Just...touch. Also, hey, what's in these not-used labs? Are they locked or openable? What are the secrets?

Ooo, the command level looks very important and command-center-y. Sure hope nobody minds him wandering around here. Definitely no touching but definitely looking. Let's hope he doesn't get button-press-y again.

And the roof is boring bye.

Let's not forget the annex! Which he almost did until he saw the other building off a ways and then the path leading to it, so fuck him silly, of course he's gonna check that out, pass the stables and giving it a very confounded look as he does and then he makes his way to the hangar. Where, after seeing the gliders, and seeing the kind of height we're talking about, he gives a thought, decides nope, and heads on up to the AV center. Kinda reminds him of the mall, right down to the video games. On the other hand, video games fuck yeah.

The library is...well, it's a library, but he makes a note to come back here and peruse the science books. So you might find him sitting on the floor, flipping through them. Not any of the other stuff, just the science. The greenhouse is gone through in short order--he was mistaken, this is where he suspects Yuuri will be most of the time. This roof sure is interesting, though, in that there's a HOT TUB HOT TUB FUCK YEAH HOT TUB. He might not even put jello in this one. Catch him chilling the fuck in there at some point. (Maybe he'll regale you with the tale of Junpei's arm.)]

Farm

[nonono7]

[ You know who else is exploring? THIS GIRL HERE! This time clad in a striped top, shorts, and BOOTS, instead of weird futuristic military garb.

She wanders into the farm level just in time to see a.... bird? Of some kind? It seems to be running away from something, and... right toward Nono.

It leaps. Nono lets out a small cry, but the bird just. Lands. On Nono's head. And... settles down? ]

C-CLUCK!? [ Yes that's. Nono's reaction. Not the chicken's. ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Jesus, okay, don't move! Or--or do move, just, over here? I didn't know there were just chickens in here, I gotta get it back in before we lose one!

[nonono7]

Do or don't!? Which one?!

[ Nono shakily takes a step toward Church. Then another. But by the third step, that chicken sees where THIS is goin' and decides to ditch their ride. FLAP FLAP OFF THE HEAD- ]

Ah! No, bird, come back!

[motherfucking_ghost]

AFTER THAT CHICKEN! [Yes. Yes, this involves running around after a frantically clucking chicken. Because that'll calm it down for handling.]

[nonono7]

YES SIR! [ Nono's time in the Fraternity comes back with her snap response, and she! Begins! Chasing! That chicken!

She is frantic in her chase, and. Pretty. Clumsy. Hopefully she's not knocking into or over anything important. ]

hangar

[burninglight]

They really did come out quite well, don't you think?

[did you say not glued to ardyn's side think again buddy]

Wind is not remotely an element I'm accustomed to utilizing, but the structure of an engine was easy.

[motherfucking_ghost]

[shh he's not gonna drag ardyn everywhere but he's always welcome]

You made these?

[burninglight]

I had a fair hand in them, at least. The engines are mostly my work.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I bet magitech works real well in this place. Seems like there's this whole, like...magic and also technology thing working hand in hand. Really your style.

AV center

[riderofcharlemagne]

[Oh hey, new guy, great timing. Astolfo needs someone to play DDR with.

He's perched on the machine's bars, and beckons him over.]

Hey-! You busy?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Uhhhh no? Whatcha need, Pinky Pie?

[riderofcharlemagne]

[The nickname gets a grin out of him.]

A companion, or a competitor.

[He kicks his legs back and forth idly.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Or a companionable competitor, huh? For dancing?

...Was this thing just here the whole time? [Like sure maybe someone found it and dragged it here but it's, y'know, big for that.]

Generators

[moonlightglory]

Damn, way too shallow...

[Faith is already checking out the generator room when Church shows up. She glances his way, taking a moment to recognize him with legs.]

Oh, hey. Church, right?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Don't wear it out. You doing some maintenance? [or some sabotage???]

[moonlightglory]

I don't have a clue how any of this stuff works. I was just asking someone if there was a swimming pool, and they said the ocean coming in through here was about the next best thing we had.

[Glance back at the shallow watter.] I don't think it's gonna really work.

[motherfucking_ghost]

...I mean. There is a beach. With an ocean. Full of water.

On the other hand, there's sharks and shit and also a part where you spontaneously turn into a fish. So.

library

[founderinglight]

[Wherever you go, there you are.

Sometimes Izunia is also there, drifting between the shelves with his blue scarf and an interested look at the shelves.

...Luckily he does not almost trip over Church on the floor.]

...Ah.

[So that's his luck today.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Sup, chucklefuck. [He says it in a friendly tone.

And then he looks up.

Oh.]

...Oh. Sup, inkshitting chucklefuck. [Much, much less friendly tone.]

[founderinglight]

There are chairs, you know.

[He just sounds tired.]

...You get one free punch. That's it, same as the rest.

[motherfucking_ghost]

You're not my dad, you can't tell me where to sit.

Does hitting you with a book count?

HOT TUB FUCK.... no............................... I'm sorry Church

[coagmentatio]

[ He has no fucking clue how anyone is able to get into that thing...

To him, it looks like you would do the opposite of chilling in that thing, and so he is stopping right dead in his tracks to just... stare? right at this guy???

His expression is one of open confusion. He momentarily doesn't even remember what he came in here to check out. ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

You gonna just stare all day or are you gonna join?

[coagmentatio]

[ Well, not like he can blame the guy for calling him out. Still, he's somewhat awkward as he glances away. ]

I was just thinking about how I can't imagine why any of you guys are so okay in this heat...

[ Even if it's probably not even all that hot, to the average person, currently. ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

Think about it this way. When I get out of this? And all the evaporating takes place? I'm gonna feel cool as a cucumber.
