Going places...

[buildyourworld]

Who: Tieria Erde [ buildyourworld ] & You
When: IC 12/23-12/30
Where: Various places
What: Mapping the colony, work & general fail socializing
Rating/Warning: None atm


A: Various Location ( 5:30-6:30 AM )

[ Every day without fail, he'll be out jogging on the street with Haro in tow. The presence of CYbuddies made it easier to have Haro tag along with him without attracting suspicious. However, with the soap opera airing on TV now, he has been greeted by random people several times, enough that Tieria try to stay incognito as much as possible with a cap and sport glasses on. Not that he's very successful with his distinctive hair color but the lack of light in early hours helps, somewhat. He takes the metro rail to different districts randomly every day to throw off anyone trying to follows him, just in case.

In the eyes of others, he's just another jogger but what he's actually doing is going around to map the colony. Haro who has a recording function is busy doing it's job while Tieria makes mental notes of any places that need a recheck. It could be anywhere, a shop, a building, random lots that probably look completely normal to you might draw him to take a long by feigning a break even though he doesn't look the least bit exhausted. Could it be next to your workplace or your apartment? ]

B: Various Location ( Night time )

[ If he's not taking supplementary acting class from Yogi, Gareki and Cliff, he's out checking out the suspicious places he noticed during the day. A strange corner in the Pleasure District, an empty building tucked between suspicious shops in the Business District, a seemingly normal looking locked unit in the Research & Technology District? He could be anywhere trying to figure out why some of these places are locked or has no access points at all. If you're lucky, you might catch him scanning the area with the Haro, who has laser guide points projected from it's eyes. ]

Argh! What the hell?! [ Or witness him being thrown out of buildings with no visible entrance. ]

C: TV Station

[ It's yet another day for him at the recording studio. Today schedule has been tame so far. With decreased chance of being screamed at by the director thanks to "Adrian" limited appearance in the current episode and some improvement in his acting, Tieria is resting quietly by the corner when he's not needed for recording. That's it, until he heard a commotion happening at the extras corner. ]

What's going on? [ He asks once he's close enough to the small crowd forming around one of the production crew. Are you part of the problem or are you like him, you're there to see what's going on? ]

[Rock Lee is the trouble.

He seems to be arguing with some of the crew about being let into the extras section.]

Please!! I just want this one chance to be a star!

8D

[buildyourworld]

[ He expects trouble from the volume of the commotion itself but to think that Rock Lee is part of it is mildly surprising. He pushes forward until he reaches Lee, signalling to the crews that he's acquainted with Lee before they throw him out for disrupting production. ]

Lee, what are you doing here?

[niceguypose]

Ah... Tiera-kun! [He beams at him, glad to no longer be on the verge of being kicked out.] I hoped you would be here. I decided to come here, because... because I seek a role!

[buildyourworld]

[ The crews give Tieria a look before dispersing to resume their work, leaving Tieria with Lee in the company of a very annoyed looking Production Director. ]

You seek a role? [ One look at the PD tells him that's not going to happen. ] You have to audition for a role, Lee. You can't just come in here asking for one.

[niceguypose]

[He looks between the two sheepishly.]

But... Ah... I don't know how to get one of these auditions! But I promise I will do my best! I won't let anyone down!!

A, the sleepest icon I can get from my icon set

[sjokolade]

[If there was one thing Anna wasn't use to? It was waking up at an insane hour for work. While she didn't mind being more responisble, it was clear that she wasn't a morning person. Everyday when she woke up at 5 in the morning, it was a difficult task to just stay focused! And this wasn't any different.

...Which was why Tieria, you might be Anna just staring blankly at you as you circled next to her work building.]

What are you....? [She mumbled to him]

Awwww

[buildyourworld]

[ This colony is really small if he keeps bumping into this girl. Still, he's going to keep jogging because he doesn't need to raise suspicious over his morning activity. The Haro is of course bouncing ahead of him, recording the area quietly. ]

Jogging. [ Isn't it obvious enough? Though that also means he can't check out the empty building next to her workplace now because of her presence, he'll just have to come back another time to do it. ] Why are you here? [ Because she looks like she should still be in bed. ]

[sjokolade]

[Anna wanted to say something but all Tieria got back was a yawn from the younger girl. How embarrassing, she thought, yawning in front of him out of all people! If he looks carefully, he can see the pout (and some mumbling) from her.]

I work in the next building, I'm an art director! [She said before pointing to said building] But I'm impressed you got enough energy to jog so early in the morning!

[buildyourworld]

[ Tieria is actually one of those people who has no public decorum due to his secluded lifestyle, so he simply let her finish yawning without judging her. It's just a bodily function to expels sleepiness after all. ]

I'm used to it. [ Might as well get some information out of her while she hasn't turn hostile to him. ] Do you know what's this building for?

[flamberge]

[not actively needing to sleep means occasional wandering around the streets in the middle of the night tends to be a thing. it's not a bad thing, either. fewer people means fewer noises and annoyances. it's nice.

in the middle of such a walk is when he stumbles across something curious. kratos watches from a good distance as a small device scans some the area with a laser. an eyebrow gets raised at the scene. just what is that thing doing? and in the middle of the night?

best way to find out is to keep on watching. more scanning. the guy with the robot eventually going toward a building. the guy with the robot getting thrown out moments later. ouch, that looked painful. not particularly odd, though, aside from the lack of doors to be thrown out of. the oddness of that finally gets kratos to walk over and oh so kindly answer the guy's eloquently phrased question.]

Chances are you were not allowed inside the building and someone made certain to get that point across as clearly as possible.

[buildyourworld]

[ He looks up from the ground to a red-haired guy, who he immediately frowns to as he gets up and dusts himself. Does he wants a medal for being a smartass? Even if Tieria doesn't outright says so to his face, the expression he wears on his face says as much. He turns his attention back to the building after throwing the stranger an eyeroll. The fact that he has managed to somehow enter the building only to end up being thrown out irritates him to no ends. It means there's something suspicious about this place and possibly the few other similar location he marked down for scanning, and he wants to know why. ]

Did you see a door? [ He wants to be sure that he's not the only one who doesn't see one. Haro is still scanning the building as they speak. ]

[flamberge]

[no sign that kratos cares about that expression directed at him can be seen. truth be told, he doesn't care. going off that reaction, it seems to have been an accurate statement too.

the inquiry makes his gaze dart back at the building. nope, it's not a hallucination. there really is no door. no outline, no indentation, no nothing.]

No, I didn't. It may be a sort of security mechanism.

[either that or the buildings here have vanishing doors. it IS possible with how strange the city has a habit of being.]

[buildyourworld]

[ So it's not just him. He approaches the building again, and starts examining the same spot where he has accidentally found the entrance. But after a good minute of groping nothing but concrete wall, he huffs and gives up his search. ]

Well, it's not there anymore.

[redcinemareel]

[As an instructor, Grell usually arrives early to get to her office, gather her papers, and prepare to mold these soft minds. As usual, she arrives in the nook between buildings because why take public transport when you can just appear to work? What she doesn't expect is Tieria to cross directly in front of her while he's jogging. It startles her as she steps from between buildings, and she almost spills the tea she brought from home. Almost.]

[buildyourworld]

[ Her sudden appearance stops him in his track almost immediately as he turns around and takes a defensive stance, wary that it might be an attack. It's only when his mind registers Grell's identity that he eases up. With a frown, he grabs the Haro that has halted it's recording when Tieria stopped and holds it close to himself.

Taking a glance at where Grell appeared, he eyes her suspiciously as he adjusts his glasses. ]

Where did you came from?

[redcinemareel]

[Looking confused, Grell points over her shoulder behind her. It isn't a dead end sort of space, luckily.]

From over there. [Which wasn't a complete lie. She did come from there! Way, way, way over there.] Shouldn't I be asking you that question? You almost ran me over!

[buildyourworld]

[ Does he look stupid to her? ]

You weren't there when I check before running pass it. [ Covering the distance in a blink of the eye, that's impossible especially with the cup of hot drink in her hand ] Unless you can walk that fast, you're lying.

[fortheprincess]

[ It's late and Hak's making his last round of deliveries, being the good pizza boy he is. It's a lot less crowded than it was just an hour ago, so getting to his final destination is going to be a breeze; then he can finally return home and relax (as much as he can anyway, with all of the noise from his roomies).

As he's walking to the apartment building, he catches sight of something strange at the corner of his eye. Some kind of laser beam being pointed in one of the more inconspicuous areas on the street. It's pretty bright so it's not hard for him to spot. And judging by the way that guy's acting, well, he might just be asking for trouble. ]

If you're trying to be a thief, you should probably work on being more sneaky. Being loud like that isn't going to get you very far.

[buildyourworld]

Keep scanning, Haro. [ He tells the round robot before turning his attention to the stranger. Tieria has surveys this area enough time before scanning but of course, he can never be too careful. ]

Being a thief requires me to enter the premise. This one has none.

[ Giving the stranger a once over, he shrugs as he waits for Haro to be done with the scanning. ]

Do you live around here?

[fortheprincess]

No. I'm making a delivery.

[ He points to the giant pizza box in his hand. ]

Are you searching for places to break into?

[ Hak's not against breaking laws or anything, as long as it's not causing serious trouble to anyone else. He doesn't consider himself to be much of a hero or anything, and he'll probably just let this guy do what he wants, but just in case... ]

[buildyourworld]

[ Finally noticing the pizza in the stranger's hand, he nods. ]

No. I found this place a few days ago. It looks strange, so I thought I'll check it out.

[ The Haro that has been quiet the whole time speaks up once it's done scanning. ] Anomaly! Anomaly! Unable to register data.

This too? [ He frowns at the round robot. ] This is third one, right?

Affirmative! Affirmative! [ He Haro replies in its digital voice, flapping it's robotic ears. ]

[twomeals]

[Yue's gotten into the habit of wandering aimlessly around the city after work - because why not? It's not like he has a curfew here.

He didn't quite expect to see someone get thrown out of a mystery building though, even if it is late...and he's in a shady part of town. (Not that he realizes it's shady.)]

Ah...are you okay?

[buildyourworld]

[ He rubs his back, groaning a little at the harsh landing. This is the second building he's been thrown out of, the only difference is this one has an actual door. One that he has to hack into but an actual door, unlike the previous one that doesn't have a visible door. ]

I'm fine... [ He gets up, dusting himself as he rolls his shoulder blade to release some tension from his body. When he finally turns his attention to the sound of concern, he blinks with recognition. ]

Oh... [ He belatedly realizes he doesn't know his name. ] ...it's you.

[twomeals]

That's right, it's me.

[His reply comes almost automatically - he's still confused as to what just happened, and the thought of names doesn't actually pop into his head just yet.]

Did you get in trouble, just now?

[buildyourworld]

What's your name?

[ He might as well ask before he forgets again. He looks back at the building, frowning a little as he try making sense of what happened. ]

I'm not sure. I went inside to take a look since it looks empty, but somehow I got thrown out.
