Jacob Kane [ Cain ] Roman Fletcher ([personal profile] aeturnus) wrote in [community profile] riverview2017-06-23 11:14 am

video, un: j.k. [post-butterfly effect]

[ On the screen is one Cain, also known as Romulus, commonly known in the city as Jacob Kane. He looks normal. Normal as he's ever looked, really, but the confidence that he lacked during the recent event is back in full force and he's very nonchalant about it all. He's at a flimsy-ish table with a laptop off to the side where the camera is obviously his propped up phone instead. ]

Hey! Long-time no talk, Riverview Quarantine. Just a few things. If you met me over the last week and a half or so, that was... technically me but not. You know that thing that was going on? Yeah, that. Don't worry about it. Forget about all that.

Quick catch-up for those who have (or haven't!) met me, I go by Jacob Kane nowadays. [ Not Romulus. Nope. This total 180 is completely normal considering he hardly looks any older or different at all. ] My job while I'm here is designing phone apps. I've been here for about two months now and I think this is my first actual post on the network. Anything interesting happen while I wasn't looking?

to Doom;
Still good for lessons?
to Shai;
Thank you. For everything you did.
to Natsume;
Seen anything like our colorful friend lately?

[She makes a contemplative little hmm.]

Bottle of wine? If you drink that sort of thing.

[A laugh.]

Sure. Sounds like a plan.

[hdu her house is always presentable. she is Shai: eradicator of dust and detritus.

The door's unlocked, as it always is whenever she's home, and she's stuffed under the kitchen sink when he enters, by the clanking she is fixing some pipe or other beneath it.]

[She can literally pick up on the electronic impulse of your sinoatrial node, pal, she doesn't need you to knock. But she appreciates the gesture nevertheless, and sort of gestures at him with a construct wrench. Why buy tools when you can make your own, seriously?]

Wasn't you. Sink's had an issue since before I moved into the place. Reckon the gasket finally blew.

[She sounds cheerful about it, honestly. It's something to do. Azalmaud would handle it back home, but Shai's never taken issue with getting her hands dirty.]

Annoying more than timely, I reckon.

[Now that he has the context for it, her accent is something of a strange mix of something Australian and South African.]

And I wasn't serious, Jacob. I'll help.

[She peels herself out from under the sink and sits up. She's probably wet. Bit messy. She definitely smells like whatever she fished out of the sink trap. Spoilers: it's kinda gross.]

Just let me catch a shower first, all right?

Mmhmm. Be but a minute.

[She's exactly that, actually, which seems weird and unusual until you consider the fact that a ship's water supplies are limited and one does what they must in as short a timeframe as possible. Either way she wanders back into the kitchen a little more than a minute later worrying a braid into her excessive amounts of hair. She's dressed casually again, but at least it's clean.]

All right. Let's get to work.

Well, I was planning on takbrigan. Shivanas dish. Pickled -- beats, I think, is the closest approximation here. Bunch of spices, served with greens and nuts.

[Her dad would add fish to the pickling mixture, but she'll forego that.]

[personal profile] greyjane 2017-06-25 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
With the brine.

[She finishes up with that braid, twists her hair up and makes a construct clasp to hold it well back from her face. It's the only bit of her appearance she takes any especial care with.]

Care to learn how to make it?

[Then I guess you'll never know, will you!!

Shai sets out the ingredients, explains each of them when they're not of any earthly origin (every time she finds something from Janirak she buys it, regardless of cost) and walks him through the hows and whys of the recipe.

Her father was an avid cook, forever spoiling his wives with elaborate, lavish meals. She has none of his finesse and there are only a few recipes she actually remembers - she was a teenager who didn't have much time for her parents - but she embellishes what she's forgotten until the tastes approximate. It's the best she's got.

Once everything's set and ready to marinate, she rinses her hands in the sink and heaves a dramatic sigh.]


Whoo. Forgot how much work this one was.

[Cheerfully enough,]

No clue how it will. Haven't made this in years. My girl doesn't have much in the way of kitchen amenities.

[Is she talking about her ship or a girlfriend? Who knows, with her.]

[personal profile] greyjane 2017-06-25 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Adventure. Certainly that.

[Just sounds nicer that way, overall. She stretches up, brushes her fingers against the (fairly low) ceiling and then heads in the general direction of the living room.]

Oh, I probably could make a fairly decent kitchen if I needed to, but the Ephemera doesn't have the room.

[personal profile] greyjane 2017-06-25 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
She's small, my girl. Ten man crew at the most, and that's two to a bunk.

[Well, why not. She makes a small construct of the Ephemera in the air, she's a sleek thing, smooth lines, no drag, form like a diving falcon.]

Ships her size aren't economical to run, mostly. Not big enough for cargo or significant manpower, any regular fleet tried to run her and they'd bankrupt themselves on fuel costs.

[personal profile] greyjane 2017-06-25 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[The construct is solid beneath his fingers, crackling with that same gentle energy as before. The ship dips. Showing off a bit, and Shai flashes a smile that's all teeth.]

Whatever needs doing, sweetheart.

[She has a rather terrifying reputation, and it's not unearned. She doesn't just have a crew, she has a strike force.]
