WHO: Rover and you!
WHAT: Monthly log
WHERE/WHEN: Various locations throughout the month.
WARNINGS: Will update this as they come up.
01. Generic starters - throughout the month - various locations in Neo-Tokyo
[ rover is doing her best to get to know her location and the people in it! if you come across her during your wanderings, feel free to say hi.
some places she can be found in:
a. shrines - shinjuku wandering around and checking out the set-up in the temples. the set-up is much simpler than what she'd seen in the gorges of spirit with jue's memorial.
b. LILICO game centre she's good with any of the games that require strength - first person shooter, fighting games, that kind of jazz. rover is also into puzzle games; the area she's in is most definitely designed for seniors and younger players, but she doesn't care. she'll finish that puzzle game.
c. tokyo bay a fun, solitary place to drink boba in is the top of some debris while watching the waves come in an out of the bay. she's just staring off the distance, mulling over her thoughts. she half-expects the rolling clouds to bring in some rain, and even stares up at the sky now and then to see if it's going to happen; but it doesn't, so she just remains on her perch. ]
02. Generic base shenanigans - meeting with teammates, others, etc.
[ a. redemption meet and greet. say hi! rover doesn't sleep well, she'll be out and about in odd hours of the night or early hours of the day. you can find her in the cafeteria, greenhouse, or just catch her before she's headed towards her quarters.
b. random otherwise feel free to send her a text or give her a call to say hi. same with A, she'll be out and about during odd hours of the night or early hours of the day just in different places. ]
03. Closed starters
[ in the comments with headers. ]
04. Game event (15 July)
[ link to her toplevel; feel free to drop by. ]
05. ETC. - other toplevels throughout the month that are OTA
[ feel free to tag. your character can assume they've come across each other during the downtime, had smalltalk, and at the very least exchanged names. rover is rather amiable.
- DATING LOG: toplevel
- HOT OR NOT: toplevel
if you want something custom, feel free to message me and we can work something out. ]

If it's early in the morning: Elysium will be getting ready for his morning run and/or hike, emerging from his room with casual arm stretches. Sure, he's dressed for the occasion, but it's hard to say the same for the weather, donning both a techwear jacket and joggers. Won't he overheat…? Apparently! Not a concern.
Otherwise, if it's late at night: depending on the day of the week, he's either returning from one of his jobs in various uniforms (in something like a lab coat or bartending attire) or found in the recreation room, hitting weights.
Wherever they happen to encounter each other, he's more than willing to be the first to approach, or even accost her into whatever activity he happens to be partaking in. Just as well, she's free to have seen him doing all of the above and maybe she's curious? Anything goes! ]
no subject
that morning, she was full of energy to go somewhere not knowing where to go. regular day for exploring, which she's used to doing in jinzhou anyway until the war. now it's just a vibrating hum of energy, low, consistent. she wants to call to it the way she could, back in jinzhou, but that energy seems to have been taken from her during her arrival.
she meets him out for his morning run. she's seen him before; he goes the same time every time, and next time elysium goes out, rover approaches him. ]
Out for a run again? May I join you?
no subject
If you think you can keep up, sure. But as a forewarning? It won't be your run-of-the-mill straight and flat go around.
[ or so he says, with his grin as a flourish. But he's attentive and flexible enough to change routes on the go depending on who's with him, even giving her a onceover before he's jabbing his thumb in the general direction of his route. Does she have a pack on her? Because that's what his gaze will settle on if she does, lifting it soon after.
He's not against sharing his water, and he carries plenty of on-the-go electrolytes with him for when necessary. It's just a matter of considering of how long he can expect them to be out for—he'll always opt for company over a little of a longer or intensive run he can do anytime, anywhere. ]
no subject
[ rover does. the route starting is an easy one to clear; the rest of it she moves through with practiced movements, one who is experienced in the physical work of running and climbing. she's quick, not necessarily fast; she can be overtaken if one tries, but she's persistent enough to keep moving and knows enough to navigate the terrain with agility. she doesn't really run for socializing, more like running to have an agenda from start to finish. like it's a sidequest, or something.
moving up the hill, rover says, ] I'll catch you if you're quick enough.
[ disappearing between streets to move in between alleys and buildings in a race up. ]
no subject
[ It's what he does, or did, for a living: travel, reconnaissance, stealth. Light and just as quick on his feet, his eyes shine at the display of parkour. Whether she intends to be flashy with it or not matters less than the fact that she's actually doing it, because for the most part, what company he has… simply wouldn't entertain it!
He doesn't mind the lack of conversation; rather, he finds the competition just as enjoyable. How far can he push her limits, and does it surpass his own? Something to test, certainly! Initially intending to lead her into the outskirts and a scenic route on its own, he's more than willing to pivot to scaling buildings. ]
Let's see what you're made of, then! Catch you at the top?
[ the top of where? oh, just one of the tallest buildings, nbd, from the direction his gaze and body faces. a casual, everyday, morning run…… ]
no subject
See you later.
[ it's fun to have a bit of competition in between. committing to having the work-out time as something more of a game, and a test of skills, is always more interesting to rover as opposed to something that's just straight training. monotony is boring; she's used to the novelty of things.
scaling buildings are easy enough: rover moves through the corners with grace, and at one point cuts through his route with a smile, just because she can. ]
not me accidentally pressing post before i finished
Only for him to be given the answer in the form of her utilising a shortcut seconds after the thought, fully transitioning it into a competition rather than a route jointly travelled merely to move one's body.
A grin, then, as he pulls up his hood; Elysium has the complete topographic map of Tokyo stored in his memory, self-defined with everything from known shortcuts, lesser known paths, to unbeknownst ones he'd discovered all on his own. So! In the spirit of it, he's splintering off to go on his own way, bold and with unfettered confidence even when it comes to traversing paths where one fall could mean death.
As for who ultimately wins: I used a random number generator and got a 7, but if Rover has any speed enhancements or whatever else, it probably makes more sense for her to! ]
l'excitement
she reaches the summit about the same time as he does, meeting him with a smile as she catches her breath - ]
- That was fun.
no subject
little adrenaline junkie things. ]
Yeah? We should do this more often, it's nice. [ his gaze moves to the horizon, to the sun still rising in the sky. they're still in the city proper, but it's quieter, somehow. ] I don't get to see this view that often with other people.
[ not often, being at all. he imagines his usual running partners would consider it unhinged behaviour… ]
no subject
I'm happy to train anytime. Just send me a message.
[ she smiles at him the way he laughs excitedly at having reached the summit with her. it is quieter. the air feels cooler, and rover inhales a gulpful before exhaling slowly in the dark. one, two, three. ]
You've some talent. [ clearly not just someone who's training for a marathon or physically fit. a torture-running away specialist. ]
no subject
I'm not much of a fighter compared to a lot of the guys here, but when it comes to building up endurance and stamina, I am your guy. Nothing like a little competition to push your limits.
[ with the flask untaken, he'll take a swig from it himself before stashing it away. ]
This does remind me that I never formally introduced myself. [ a grin at the word 'talent.' ] Operator Elysium. My specialties lay in communications and fieldwork.
no subject
A troublemaker, then. I see.
I'm Rover. [ one name. like madonna, or cher. ] I suppose the simplest way to explain my job is that I hunt monsters.
What does 'fieldwork' mean for you?
no subject
Wow. They brought in a real expert this time.
[ but a glance over at her answer, assessing. ]
And just about everything the word might encompass. I navigate and know my way around surviving in the wild. From everything to reconnaissance and covert operations, that's where I shine. If there's ever a time when you're out there and unsure of where to go or what to do, I'm one of your best bets.
[ he speaks with pure confidence. notably, his usual over-the-top lilt is missing—he's serious, at least to his degree of it. ]
no subject
[ it's nice that he's confident of his skills. it speaks to a professional who's used to a certain kind of job. not something that rover specializes in - she's the bait rather than the spy, after all. he reminds her of aalto, somehow. he even has the same style and look. ]
... how interesting. I'll keep that in mind.
I'm not good with covert operations. But I've experience working with ... operators, as you called them. I hope we get along well in our upcoming missions.
no subject
… Haha. It's habit from my previous job. Anyone under my company's considered an operative, no matter their role, so we referred to each other in that manner. It just so happens that I can perform the role of the prototypical one you might be envisioning.
[ By the by, having reliable frontliners makes Elysium's job easier. He can worry less about the actual combat aspect of it which he's middling at, and focus on the logistics of the battlefield instead. ]
To a fruitful partnership, yeah? [ A beat as he flashes a smile, then turns back towards the direction they'd come form. ] Let's start our race back.
