WHO: Koishi and You!
WHAT: CRABS! CRABS! CRABS! CRABS! CRABS!
WHERE: Fayren Harbor
WHEN: Backdated to May 1st, all day.
WARNINGS: I dunno. Koishi might get impatient and try to eat a raw crab?

It was the commotion at the harbor that attracted the attention of the little green youkai. She had been out gathering some food when she noticed it and, following her third eye, she ended up on the harbor. She had to pause a moment, her already addled perception having a difficult time processing the sheer number of minds in the area. Most were not human. Simple, stupid creatures... The kind that didn't create painful psychic resonance when killed.

She moved closer to investigate, nearly tripping over one of the creatures, catching herself in the air. She floated there, staring for a long moment. "Is... Is that a crab?" It wasn't spoken to anyone in particular. She leaned in for a closer look, keeping her third eye and arteries out of the way. Indeed. It was a crab. In fact it was the largest crab she had ever seen.

The little youkai didn't hesitate. She zipped off, her obfuscating aura allowing her to "borrow" a slim length of strong rope from a nearby pile, using that to bind the poor crab's claws, severing the excess rope with her claws.

She was so focused on her task that she didn't notice the second crab until it bumped into her side. Startled, she plopped down to one side, blinking. "Wah! Another one! And another... and... So many..."

She and her sister would be eating well tonight!

[In truth, it was fortunate that Athrun has things to do this weekend. It'll keep him from thinking about his mother and getting himself down, and from wishing that he could go and put flowers on her grave.]

[A: Heaven's Court Apartments]

[First of all, Athrun landed a job as a computer hardware engineer for a company in Nova City. He's a bit rusty, but all the necessary skills are still there. More importantly, he now had money to find a place to live that wasn't a hotel.

It didn't take him long to find one, and what a place it was. Thus, for a few hours this afternoon, Athrun can be found moving his belongings into suite number 2002 at Heaven's Court Apartments. Since he's still a new arrival, he doesn't have much, but he has gone out and bought some things he'll need for work, such as a computer and a home office desk and chair, as well as some necessities, like a bed, a kitchen table, and groceries. For the time being, he leaves the door open -- though he's not exactly a social butterfly, he understands how important it is to get to know his neighbors, and this will let them stop by should they choose to do so.]

[B: Nova City]

[Once Athrun has moved in, he leaves to walk out into the city proper. Nova City as a whole intrigues Athrun like nothing else here does; he's never seen a fair amount of the technology here and he wants to find out as much as he can.

So, for now, Athrun is wandering the city, occasionally stopping into a shop to look around. Should he see anybody wearing a necklace like the one he received when he first arrived, he'll try to get their attention.]

Ah, excuse me. Do you live in Nova City, by any chance?

[Though people he's met will get a more personal greeting -- provided they made a favorable impression upon him.]

[There's a loud burst of childish laughter, as high-pitched and bright as any child.]

Hey! I bet some of you were wondering what happened to that loud-talking man. The one with red hair. Um--Roaming Torchwax or something?

[She giggles some more.] Well. He's probably not feeling too good. I was generous not to kill him but he's probably really ashamed right now. That's what you get when you mess with dollkind.

[Beat.]

So, do I get paid or something now?
