The Last City

[rocketmagnet]

[ She's wandered from the Tower, as she often does when there's downtime. The Iron Banner competition has been a drain on her time (how long did it take to earn a cloak?), but she's pulled her sore body away. Decked out in civilian attire and with a soccer ball tucked underneath her arm, the only feature that identifies her as a guardian is her usual cloak of the unborn that she wears proudly. It's a reminder of her duty and promise to those that reside here.

The market district always gets the most of her attention and she stops at various vendors. Most already know what the hunter is searching for, whether they're small, colorful toys or items she can use for arts and crafting. It's the little things that grab her attention and she's not worried if her pockets and bag end up filled with knick-knacks.

If she's not wandering the market district, she's found a group of human children to start a pick-up game of soccer with in an open square. It's one of the few games she knows the rules of, though she's happy to bend them. It's not often the children get to play games with a guardian and if they come away learning a trick or two, she's done her job. ]

Did you see them with the light off?

[rocketsout]

Well, I mean...like...it's not like it's super sunny here or anything.

[rocketmagnet]

...You don't know if they glow? [ Let her just turn and stare at you, Liam. Stare. ]

[rocketsout]

They looked like they did!

[That is not a friendly look.]

Look if they don't, we can find ones that do

[rocketmagnet]

Did you take a picture of them while you were there?

[ Maybe she can see the glow from that. ]

[rocketsout]

No, just the pens. Like I didn't think you'd want them??

[rocketmagnet]

You really think I'd pass up stars that glow and I can have in my house? [ The answer here is so painfully obvious. ]

[rocketsout]

I don't know, maybe you keep all the craft stuff at your mentor's place?

[rocketmagnet]

I'd want the stars at home, where I can see them. I'm not always at boss'.

[rocketsout]

You could have them at both places if we find enough, just sayin.

[rocketmagnet]

[ ...Okay, that actually sounds like a good idea. ] I could sneak them in. It'd be a nice surprise next time he turns off the lights.

[rocketsout]

Think he'd appreciate it? [Probably not. Definitely not.]

[rocketmagnet]

Yes. He doesn't enjoy a lot of things, but he could use a nightlight.

[rocketsout]

Don't let the dark take over, got it. Pretty good cause. Guess we'll just have to pick up some extras then.

[rocketmagnet]

Does your room need redecorating?

[rocketsout]

My room? No way, my room is one hundred percent perfect the way it is right now yep. Nothing needed in there at all.

[rocketmagnet]

You sure? I have the glimmer to buy a whole bag of them. Even the vanguards could use some shine on their ceiling.

[rocketsout]

...yknow, I think Zavala would probably appreciate that. You should definitely do that. Yes.

[rocketmagnet]

You're helping.

[ No ifs, ands, or buts. ]

[rocketsout]

Uhhhh. I think I'm like....I think I'm good

[rocketmagnet]

Yes, you're good at helping.

[rocketsout]

Uhhh are you really remember me as, well, me? I am like, the opposite of helpful, yep.

[rocketmagnet]

You've helped me find stars and glittery markers. How much more helpful can you be?

[rocketsout]

Well okay, I'll take credit for that yeah. But like...beyond that? Nah.

[rocketmagnet]

Is that a no to sprucing up the Tower then?
