CHARACTERS: Yzak and everyone
LOCATION: All 'round the station!
DATE: Various, who needs time
CONTENT: Post-mission stuff
WARNINGS: will note if any come up!


[ Yzak returns from the mission relatively unscathed - save for some general bumps and bruises (a couple of light, healing ones on his face, don't worry about where they came from (it's all Athrun Zala's fault)), so he has less time to worry about burns healing this time around and more time to prepare and await the next mission. Resting, too, but even resting for Yzak Jule usually entails him doing something while he relaxes (reading, chess, lazy Charter symbol tracing to keep sharp). Otherwise, he's out and about as he always is, barely able to sit still for long and shedding his Ti'shaaz getup to default back to his military uniform. ]


01. The Obligatory One (OPEN)
[ There's something about a Gundam character staring quietly out into space and lamenting on recent events that invokes Meaningful Talks. So if any characters happen to pass by or join him and have the need to talk about things - their recent mission, their overall objective, something else weighing on their mind, this is the prompt for that.

Yzak's always got a lot thoughts about those things, after all. After two wars full of blood, death and anguish where many things weren't what they seemed and too many wrong paths that always appeared perfectly fine to walk down at first, these missions, this situation is hardly something new. ]



02. Some Respite (OPEN)
[ If emotional moments while staring out of windows into space isn't your thing, and you want to follow up with Yzak after the mission in any capacity (checking in on him, met him briefly and want to talk to him more?) he can also be found at various points heading into his room. He's got a few fun things in there. ]


03. Giant Robot Time (OPEN)
[ Yzak doesn't really bother with private simulations unless he has a good reason to. So anyone who happens upon it today will find it occupied and showcasing SPACE and MECHA. They'll be standing on a small holographic platform with a few screens and keyboards, with a full 360 view of the space around them.

For those familiar with Earth and its moon, that much won't be new. What might be new to some are the cluster of 100+ hourglass-shaped space colonies in orbit, as well as the manner of fighting going on in the surrounding area. All sorts of different looking space battleships are spread out, though the nearest ones are two of these. Yzak is currently going over a replay of what he was just immersed in for practice, so the focus of the images being broadcast are focused on this white mobile suit specifically. And there are all sorts of other different types and colors of similar machines out there on the battlefield as well - all roughly in the same ~20 meters size area and donning an equal amount of assorted weapons (and there are some other weird looking machines among them too like this thing). Those focused on the overall scene will see many explosions and flashes of light, as mecha are cut down and battleships destroyed in the near distance. Which is probably a pretty grim sight against the beautiful backdrop of outer space behind it.

Wearing a flight suit with a similar color scheme to his uniform and his helmet tucked under one arm, Yzak is engrossed in going over every move he (and every enemy he comes into contact with) just made in the simulation battle, pausing the replay, moving the platform around to get a better look at an angle, taking notes and adjusting things via the keyboard. ]


I'll change and speed up the timing on that Windam, and add three more reinforcements for it from behind...


04. Quali-tea Time (CLOSED to Hermann)
[ During their mission on Braccia, Yzak and Sabriel talked about her newly aquired (and pretty fuckin' cool) tea set and how maybe one day they'd see who wanted to drop by for a little chill out tea time to show it off and relax a bit, maybe even talk and get to know one another some more. Yzak's never really been to a proper tea party himself, but the idea wasn't bad from his point of view (especially since when Yzak says 'not bad' that means he likes it). He knew, for example. Hermann had good taste in that regard, so he'd probably be down with that! Of course, once they're back on the station, the ever astute Yzak realizes he hasn't seen Hermann out and about. So one quiet evening, he decides to reach out to him via the earpieces, opting to just go audio. ]

Doctor?


05. Wildcard (OPEN)
[ I'm literally down to roll with anything. Have an idea? Give it to me! ]

[insulting or not, it still stings to hear; it's not something Blue really needed reminding of.]

I was told...there are bunking quarters.

I don't want to linger in the infirmary.

No. Just there.

[just that infernal medical wing. and he's sick of it. he may not be able to escape the ever-present AI possessing this station, but if he can at least open his eyes and see something other than examination equipment, perhaps a little morale can improve.

Blue shifts, pressing his hand on the wall and pushing himself away from it to start to move again.]

[without meeting his eyes:] It would help. Yes. So long as you are not made uncomfortable in doing so.

[psionics and all. it may have been less an issue handling him when he was barely conscious and in no position to be seemingly intrusive, right?]
firstroar: (ʀᴇsᴏɴᴀᴛɪɴɢ)

[personal profile] firstroar 2021-10-22 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Blue takes Yzak's arm, shifting to lean some of his weight against him, to follow Yzak's lead.]

What was it you were doing...before I arrived just now?
firstroar: (ɢᴜɪᴅᴇ)

[personal profile] firstroar 2021-10-22 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[that's right...Yzak also has visions of space. like Finn, like Peter. one more human who has been out there...who isn't like the humans he's known before.

his eyes briefly flit toward the window they're walking past.]


I don't like it, either. There's no...easy way to get one's bearings.

Even if we're not meant to, there's still a want to...

[personal profile] firstroar 2021-10-24 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Blue is quiet for a few steps, ruminating on both of their words. would he even find anything familiar at-a-glance were it out there? the universe is vast, and the Shangri-la's journey was long...many systems, many planets, but none of them the one they're searching for blindly, denied the rights to the coordinates they need that are buried in the Terras computers.]

Do you believe...you will see a planet similar to what you've known appear in that window one day?
firstroar: (pic#5952003)

[personal profile] firstroar 2021-10-24 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[there's consolation in confidence outside of himself, whether Blue thinks to realize it or not. better someone has an answer, as opposed to the great wealth of uncertainties Blue harbors.

he stows these notions away to ruminate on later, grateful for now that they gave him something other than pain to focus on.

more than that: the planet I'm used to...what is it, he wonders.]


Would you tell me about it? That planet of yours...
firstroar: (pic#6891928)

[personal profile] firstroar 2021-10-25 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Blue listens, trying to connect those disconnected dots from what Yzak says and what he feels about it. it hurts a little, hearing mention of war. people...still fight there? the way they did centuries ago?

that shouldn't be surprising, given the conflicts he and his people are in now. unsurprising...but still saddening. it's far from the peaceful vision of a safe, nurturing planet he and his kind dream and search for.]


Humans in your universe...are leaving the Earth behind in that way, too...
firstroar: (pic#6165278)

[personal profile] firstroar 2021-10-26 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[it sounds...a lot like the humans of old, back before the SD system. back before the Earth was desecrated and cast aside. Blue wonders if such patterns are inevitable in humans, or if it is simply coincidence.

it's hard to believe in coincidences.]


I still...want to see it one day. Earth...Terra. Even if it's...not the one I was ever meant to see.
firstroar: (ᴇɴᴅᴜʀᴇ)

[personal profile] firstroar 2021-10-27 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[a few steps pass before he answers.]

There is...a dream I have. Of a beautiful, blue planet where humanity began. It's...the same dream everyone else has. It's something given to us, instilled in us from our birth. Humans, Mu...we all want to see it. Our homeland...

I don't know where it is. No one...no one but those closest to the heart of the government know. But we've been searching for it...for a long time.

An abandoned outpost planet called Silvester 7. Large, red... [his voice softens.]

We called it Nazca.
firstroar: (ʜᴇsɪᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴs)

[personal profile] firstroar 2021-10-28 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Blue's eyebrows lift. is it really just coincidental, their ties to the name of Nazca? if there's something deeper to it, Blue can't discern it, but he certainly can't help but feel it to some degree. it's in his nature to want to be connected in some way, after all.

as his expression sobers:]
Wouldn't such a thing...be a waste of your time? If we aren't even from the same universe...
firstroar: (ᴅᴇᴇᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜɪɴ)

[personal profile] firstroar 2021-10-28 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[that earnestness makes Blue's chest tighten. Yzak has no need to make such an effort on Blue's account, yet he wishes to. because...why? because it feels right? what does it satisfy in this man's own conscience?

the scope of empathy in others unlike him...it's more vast than he often believed.

after a few quiet steps:]
...Yes. Yes it is.

[he doesn't have the heart to speak to the futility - to remark that there'd be no chance to deliver that information to those who could use it. that Blue's life there is over.]
