Hi! Happy early birthday! I thought of some Q&A questions. 1. What things are there to do in Armington? What are the popular hangout spots besides the Orchard Bar? 2. It's midnight, what is the cast doing? (I hope they're sleeping! But, you know... maybe not) 3. RO reactions to being exhausted/injured after a mission and being medically assigned a couple of days off? Who is grumpy, who is excited? What do they do with their forced time off?
Thank you!!! Let's getting into these asks!!!
Well, there's the old-school drive-in movies! Armington is one of the few places still keeping one up and running, and it's actually pretty popular, even brings in some tourists who haven't ever seen a drive-in movie or haven't since they were young! Every weekend, they play black and white classics, too!
There's the coast some people like to hangout at. Lots of driftwood makes for great bonfire nights. The rocky parts of the shoreline are beautiful in the mornings and evenings.
There's always the Square vendor stalls. New little stalls pop up often, as well as people selling stuff for years. The town hall lets people rent out small tents, chairs, and folding tables for about $20/day.
There's also a lot of hiking trails through the surrounding forests, and a few camping spots. One that's particularly popular sits on one of the cliffs looking out over the ocean, and has a river right next to it that you can watch feed into the ocean itself. Lot's of fishing in Armington, too.
At midnight? Hmmm...
Freja is definitely asleep. Probably has been for a few hours.
Blake is still up, probably eating pizza or ramen with... god knows what else in it while binge-watching something. Fawn might be watching it with him.
Adontis might be reading or practicing a new hobby if it's an off-day, otherwise he's picking up the work for the day where Freja left off.
Iri is either in bed or about to head to bed.
Loche is still up, but will be heading to bed in the next hour or two. Loche is probably outside, enjoying the quiet night air by their lonesome.
Blake isn't complaining, other than he's sore as all hell. He'll gladly take the time off, though.
Loche is ambivalent. It doesn't really bother them to take time off to let a wound heal, but they're also not necessarily excited about it; it's just something that they have to do to be able to go back to their work and to heal their body. Having time to let things heal isn't something they're used to, however.
Freja absolutely hates it and absolutely loves it. She herself is not happy about it, but one little itty bitty part of her brain is because it means some reading time. She'll accept it and she won't complain, but she'll put up a very good front for the first day until the 'evil' side takes over and she instead reads like ten or so books lol.
Iri is not complaining! But Iri doesn't like having a lot of downtime. Makes their head a little too loud. And they feel like there's so much more they should be doing, even if healing is what they need to do first.
Adontis wouldn't mind it. It probably wouldn't last very long, either; there's very few things that can cause lasting damage to him at this point. He'd probably spend it writing a letter to his daughter.
Fawn doesn't like it at all. She doesn't like being wounded or weaker than normal. She's VERY grumpy and everyone knows better than to bother her in her room for the first day or two. She'll relax a little bit as things start to heal, but she's still tense until she's released to service again.
Thank you for the asks!!! <3
