basically another mingle
[ On this beautiful Day 68, it's been another one of those days where there is literally nothing going on. Sure, there's that Calhoun Hour tomorrow and there's always something every three days but when they're given downtime like this? It's absolutely boring, like watching paint dry boring. Truly nothing to do, and it's worse when you can't fall asleep (because it is just so exciting to have the next event, oh boy...). It's not as bad as the night of the AB Round, but PTSD is an ass so Jake stays up once again and is absolutely dying of boredom. ]
[ Because the night is so ridiculously long, e'd be just literally anywhere and everywhere, so feel more than free to find him in any of the following locations: ]
[ A) In the Gym: he's not much for using the bikes, and not really in the mood for the weights. If only the mat didn't smell like complete garbage that he would be more keen to using it, but beggars can't be choosers, so if you're that bored and hate yourself, you can wrestle with Jake here, or learn some self-defense nonsense. If not, he's just going to find himself examining the punching bag (yet not use it), or taking inventory of all the medical supplies (or whatever he can use in lieu of them, like extra bedsheets as bandages). Another good time to learn basic first aid? ]
[ B) In the Garden: there's no fire this time. However, there is other nonsense here like making paper boats (yeah, he's that fucking bored), writing nonsense in whatever language he feels like (probably in Ukrainian but English, really basic Chinese fuck if I know, or the language they have here are all possible too; maybe all together for the ultimate nonsensical writing?), or lifting up one of the benches to place it side by side the other bench to make a nice makeshift bed. ]
[ C) In the Lounge: he's not even doing anything but sitting on the couch. It's one of those moments when you're tired but you can't sleep, so you just stare off into space, just thinking about whatever. That's just his state right now, so sneak up on him? Which isn't the best idea, but he's not as jumpy as before, so ehh, it's all right. Just come and stare at the turned off TV or gossip or make of how he slips up his accents here. He should be tired enough for that. ]
[ Be free, test subjects, tag whatever. This idiot isn't going to be sleeping for a while. ]

[That said, if he saw any foreigners, it would be few and far between.]
no subject
[ And that was Jake's way of asking more on where Sasuke lived. Hope... you got the clue from that, sorry... ]
no subject
[Then again there's only so much narrowing down you can do with vague memories even if he did know he lived on a mountain who knows where so I mean.]
Do you remember anything about Ukraine?
no subject
But I'm betting you don't, if you can't tell what city you're from.
no subject
[So. Hey. That's probably where the tree climbing comes from.]
no subject
Think you can manage to find it again after we get out?
no subject
...I'm not sure. If I have all my memories back, I should be able to, but... otherwise, I might have to rely on my family.
no subject
[ unless your family is like a team of ninjas and like keeping it in the shadows then well, he doesn't know what to say about that ]
no subject
Sure, sounds legit to him. He's only around fifteen, so it would make sense for there to be a decent amount of concern regarding his disappearance.]
Hopefully...
If you lived on your own, I guess for you it would just be a matter of getting back and reconnecting with people in your case.
no subject
[ He's not holding his breath that there's anyone he needs to connect with asides from a new merc group so ehhhh. He'll let that convo die there though so after a beat. ]
Anyway, what're you doing up?
no subject
[Rolling around trying to fall asleep kind of sucks, so he might as well just chill until he feels like he can go to sleep immediately.
He will politely refrain from asking why Jake's still up, since the answer is pretty clear as it is.]
no subject
How about you write down some Japanese for me then? Since there's nothing better to do here.
no subject
You might recognize a few of the characters yourself, if you know Chinese. But there's some different ones...
[Taking up a pen, he pauses for a moment before scribbling down:]
猫は鼠を付け狙う。
no subject
Yeah, you've got me stumped on some of that.
[ The hiragana is lost on him. Read out whatever you've just wrote, Sasuke, or translate or something. ]

Still holding out for that robot cat request?
no subject
[Last thing they need is for Calhoun to be replaced by a robotic cat with claws to attack.]
no subject
[ jynxing it, what a good idea... jake does like a challenge though ]
no subject
[Said completely deadpan.]
