Who: Open post for mingling with Jiaying, Sissel, and Shiba What: Various and sundry When: Across the month of May Where: See prompts Warnings: None yet. May add them as necessary.
The black kitten can be found here and there and everywhere, really. He's also prone to just being picked up and brought to someone's home for a while where he stays before wandering off again the next day. He's learned to hide his body when he goes off on a romp in his ghost form, so there will be times when a person has been sitting on a bench for a while when there's a sudden rustle and a small kitten comes wandering out of a bush or dark corner, shaking dry leaves and twigs off his body.
For those who are dead, undead, or are generally sensitive to the supernatural, the black kitten you walk past may appear to be minding its own business where he sits or lies, but an carefree young man's voice will appear in your mind with a casual observation:
"The door's a little stuck."
"Watch your step."
"Pay no attention to the cat in the corner."
The kitten is really out to just observe the proceedings around town, so he can really be found anywhere, either in person or in spirit form. As a spirit, he tries to just stay quiet as he travels around the room though he may not be able to resist pressing a switch to turn on the coffee maker, changing the channel on TV, or rolling a ball around to knock things around.
He's also able to listen in on phone conversations while possessing them, so there may be more than one prying ear when you use the phone there.
Getting rid of unwanted gifts Around May 6th, Jiaying can be spotted carrying a slinky machine from her residence to the school. The wooden contraption is solid but not that heavy. Still, it doesn't keep her from grunting a little as she hefts it in her arms while navigating her path.
"Excuse me," she says politely as she passes people. The sooner she gets rid of this dumb contraption that showed up at her door two months ago, the better.
There's also a small bag looped around her elbow. Hidden in it is a two-tape VHS series on How To Yodel Like The Pros.
School She can be found in school for most of the day on weekdays. While she's more than capable of offering a polite smile to her students and coworkers, as well as carry on conversations with them as needed, she tends to stay in the teacher's lounge doing her lesson plans or holes up in the counseling room for whenever a student needs her.
She used to be a lot more friendly, but as time passes, it seems she's gotten just a bit more withdrawn. That said, if students do misbehave, (like spying on Mr. Rogers's class or wandering around hallways), she will make a note to usher them on their way to their rightful class, so behave, kids.
Counseling Johnson's Wellness Counseling is open after school hours and on weekends. It's nestled in half a store front. Most of her time not spent at school, she spends it here. In the corner of the room that's a blind spot to the camera, there's a small game table with pencil and notepads. The rest of the office is neat, with just enough personal effects to make her seem human but not enough to clutter. She accepts walk-ins and appointments. She doesn't quite advertise her business but the town has been good about sending people her way.
Maybe you're here willingly, or maybe not. Either way, maybe you'll get a free snowcone out of the deal.
Party planning Near the middle of the month, there will be a small flyer outside her office, alongside the standard Wayward Pines signage. It's simple, with just enough color to stand out. On it is an invitation to a get-together party at her residence on the 27th. Everyone's invited. Snacks and drinks will be served.
((OOC: Feel free to handwave your characters knowing about Jiaying's mandarin classes and counseling sessions. We can easily handwave false memories that Jiaying's seen your character before for a session.))
School On the days he does go to school, Shiba's as attentive as it gets. Though sometimes the classes get so boring for him that he just ends up looking out the window while tapping his pen against his pristine notebook. He seems to almost always have an answer to the lesson at hand when a teacher tries to call him out for it though.
He also tends to excuse himself to the bathroom and end up wandering the halls for the remainder of class, so feel free to run into this strange delinquent who somehow still does well in school.
Weaver's He likes sneaking into (or rather walk into like he belongs there) the bar and ordering non-alcoholic drinks while he sits around people watching. It's more than obvious he's young but he doesn't seem like he feels out of place among adults.
If asked about why he's here, he'll raise his glass and say, "It's only illegal if I drink," then winks as he takes a playful sip of his drink.
Sometimes, if someone catches his attention, he'll swing by their table to ask, "is this seat taken?"
Edge of the national park So maybe he likes loitering near the path close to the entrance of the park. He doesn't hide the fact that he's throwing an army knife at the tree bark though, using the trees as target practice. Probably the stranger part of it is, he doesn't have to physically touch the knife to have it fly back and forth between the tree and and himself. Maybe watch out if you happen to be here for a jog though.
