who: akaashi keiji and YOU (???)
what: a day in the life of a misplaced teenager.
where: around home and domina.
when: from early morning to late afternoon/evening.
a. (try not to get yourself killed) [HOME]
[when the sun rose, so did he. a small bag by his bed prepared the evening before filled with some nutrient filled food stuffs and a change of clothes. it was grabbed on his way out, each step quiet and careful as to not disturb anyone on his way out of the tree.
he never expected a peaceful life when they all woke up here, but it felt like maybe instead of hiding within the safety of his room while others got involved, he should probably do something as well. he was just a sub part setter on a national level volleyball team- he didn't have any outstanding skills except for his calm reasoning and biting savagery with his words when the situation called for it.
but maybe he could change that.
bokuto-san, kuroo and kenma were here as well as a handful of other people get vaguely knew or heard of. they were all capable in their own way, if he wanted to be of any help he needed to train his body more and maybe pick up a weapon of some description so he could get involved and be there for bokuto-san when he needed him most- if the situation were to ever arise.
akaashi would use the early morning hours for walks to calm his nerves (homesickness hit him early and swiftly) but after finding a nice secluded spot with a few trees and plenty of room he took to using it as a training spot of sorts.
he had very little knowledge on the way of swords, just bits and pieces he learned from history classes or things he picked up from watching documentaries during his spare time.
it was chilly this morning and he huddled further into his sweater as he began his stretches. and when he felt his body was limber enough he grabbed the sturdy branch he had been using in lieu of an actual sword. it was light and thin but also hard to break- he wanted to eventually use something swift and light if need be.
puffing out a breath he started out the drills he had plotted out for himself.
left, right, jab.
parry.
strike, left side. step back, dodge.
this would be more effective of he had an actual sparring partner. but the tree should do for now.]
b. (money makes the world go round) [DOMINA]
[so! the plan to go into town and find himself a job was a good one, right? a lot of teenagers his age would get summer jobs, and while this place wasn't home he was sure the experience would be essential in his development and also...
he needed money.
having browsed some equipment shops and food stalls he quickly came to the conclusion that he needed some sort of income.
badly.
but! this was also a problem because back home this would be easy, he would have a resume written up and he would apply to shops where he knew he would be able to handle the workload.]
...Do I even need a resume here? Or do I just find a shop and ask.
[akaashi found himself worrying his fingers together as he dwelled on the issue further.
what should he do?]
c. (hungry like the wolf) [HOME - KITCHEN]
Ha...
[god. what a day. while babysitting bokuto-san and team practices usually kept him busy and fit, this was on another level altogether. he felt like he was on his feet the entire day and now he was starving.
rubbing his empty stomach with a sigh he plodded his way into the kitchen and just... stood there? he wasn't much of a cook or anything and he wasn't sure what ingredients he should touch or if he should make for others or if there was just something he could quickly grab and chow down on.....
life was hard.
did some of this belong to other people? he was at a loss-
grrrOOOOOOOWL
...and hungry.]
I should have bought something while I was out.
[said to no one in particular as he continued to rub his paining empty stomach as he considered his options.]

a.
Well, he moves all right, for a beginner--Avandrel has the weight of knowledge behind her, though. Not to mention he's trying to learn something like her style--though he'd probably want something that was more cut-and-run, instead of her toe-to-toe dueling, as it were.
She's...not much of a teacher, really, but he's not an adult human, so Avandrel is going to try to shuck the chip from her shoulder.]
Eh, ye want to borrow one o' me swords? That tree branch might make a fair attempt now, but it ain't gonna do a thing fer strengthenin' your wrist when ye want to hold the real deal.
no subject
[sneaking around wasn't exactly a strong suit for him, unfortunately, but he was of a mind that everyone was dealing with themselves that perhaps he would have the opportunity to slip away- especially so early in the morning. but apparently he was mistaken, and he should have been mindful of it.
so she startled him, but it was hard to tell (akaashi was far too good at schooling his emotions and facial expressions, opting for cool apathy most of the time.)
but she's new and unfamiliar, the only thing betraying his unease was the subtle fumbling of his fingers together. his nervous habit.]
...One of? [how many can a person own?]
I've never held a weapon before, I'm afraid I may hurt myself.
no subject
[While Avandrel's laughter is...sort of scathing, because she doesn't know how to laugh nicely, she doesn't just throw up her hands and walk away. Besides, this guy does have a point.]
Well, th' basic idea, ye see, is that ye hold the end that's not pointy, eh? D'ye want the dagger first, then? I'm loathe to give up any more for keeps 'til I know where I can find more, though I know there's a town, but I'm not the only person here who doesn't like the idea of goin' about without a way to protect yerself, eh?
[First, however, she'll sidle over to position herself next to him, drawing a dagger from one boot, and making an example of how to use it, how she holds it, that sort of thing.]
Yer tree branch will do in a pinch, though. Even if ye just want to run, a handful of dirt in the eyes will usually work a trick!
[you may assume that she has done said trick in the past, and you'd be quite right.]
Also A
[So says the girl who slows her jog to grin at him, sweating from exertion and breathing more heavily than she might like. Much as she never wanted to depend on paramagic to make her a threat, Maria has to admit that the rifle and two gunblades all holstered on her back are a significant weight without her strength and endurance being augmented. All the more reason to train harder here... but not so hard that she can't slow down and catch her breath, if a reason presents itself.]
no subject
[he nearly dropped the stick in surprise, and soon does just because of the embarrassment over his sub-par training and getting caught. hands clamped behind his back as he turns to face her. avoiding eye contact immediately.]
Oh...
I don't really know what I'm doing, so I don't think it should be considered training.
no subject
B
Have you sought the advice of the people in town? They are the ones doing the hiring.
no subject
[akaashi on the other hand was just a high school student with a penchant for volleyball. so he wasn't even sure what... he would be good at.]
Ah...
[looking up at zenyatta with a little shrug.]
Not... yet. I'm not even sure on what I should be pursuing, let alone going for it.
ooc: It's okay! Life happens
[ It would depend entirely on having tasks available, and work will not be consistent. ]
C
[And to think, he just came out from the study to see if they needed to refill on the water. For now, Tsukishima merely stands in the kitchen doorway, looking nonplussed as usual.]
no subject
rubbing his stomach idly, turning to glance at the taller boy.]
I don't think so. I've had an overly busy day.
no subject
I can probably figure something out… I think me and Yamaguchi have gotten slotted into cooking duty on the chores list.
[Don’t ask him how. It just sort of happened, partially because he guesses no one else was doing it and it’s easier to go along with it. Besides, it keeps him busy from thinking about things.]
What have you been doing all day anyway?
