[open] the nirvana principle
Who: Juri and you!
Where: Around the Aldrip
What: your typical catch-all log
Warnings: mentions of underage drinking?
Outskirts - Stick to your routine
[Ok. Now that the fiasco involving lodgings and so is somewhat handled, Juri can focus on settling down in her new 'home.' Which, of course, means establishing some routines. The Duels and fencing tournaments might be on a hiatus for her but that's hardly a reason for her to get lazy.
So, just in a few days Juri has formed a habit of waking up early and go out for a jog around the town as a warm up, and then go back to inn pick up her sword and head off to the outskirts. There, she finds a quiet and calm spot where she can train.
It's really a shame that she doesn't have an opponent to spar with, leaving her to just follow through basic routines and practices. Such as focusing on footwork, stances and simple strikes. Her form is, as usual, right on point on and her movements are fast, all indicating that yeah. She's done this before.
Juri keeps repeating her routine until she's all tired and out of breath, actually enjoying the feeling of breaking sweat and pushing her body further.]
Lupin - Where all the cool kids are
[Juri isn't someone who'd spend her time in a bar just for fun. But when in Rome and so on. Besides, she's not here just for the leisure time. Being new to Aldrip means she really has to start everything from the scratch. Long gone is her status, connections and the secret network she had established in Ohtori Academy. But oh well! She's not one to turn her nose up at the idea of doing the leg work.
So off to the Lupin she goes!
Despite not being too accustomed to these kinds of establishments she walks in with a confidence of an old-timer, her posture straight and chin up. Look, she's done lot of fancy balls, galas and modelling. The elegance and poise just comes naturally to her. With a smooth movements she walks up to counter, takes a seat and orders a cocktail. Ok, she knows she technically shouldn't be ordering an alcoholic beverage, but it's going to be funny to see if anyone is going to stop her.]
Town Square - Oh Romeo, oh Romeo
[It's dead at the night and the city of Aldrip is sleeping peacefully (or less peacefully, if you happen to live in the Inn). The moon is high up and shining it's pale light over the buildings as Juri is making her rounds. But unlike in the mornings, she's donned up in the silky evening gown that had (miraculously) somehow arrived with her. Muff and high heels included.
It really did feel like she was being mocked.. by this world or the entities ruling it. She's definitely glad for the second set of clothing but there's definitely certain sentimentality associated with this one. So, when one night she finds herself unable to sleep, feeling the familiar ache squeezing her chest -- like a merciless viper reaching out to coil around her heart, she does the usual thing: gets dressed and heads out to brace the night on her own.
She settles to sit down in front of the fountain at the town square, looking at the water dancing in front of her with a pensive expression on her face. And it's during nights like these when she can't escape the whirlpool inside her, feeling the abyss sucking her in to join the demons haunting her mind. The golden necklace around her neck feels heavy like an anvil, dragging her down.]
Hm. [She hums a quiet laughter to herself. It seems like no matter how vast the distance is, she still can't be free.
So, she just sits there. Basking in her sapphic tragedy like a damn Shakespearean character, all while mulling over her thoughts and idly playing with her necklace. However, if someone happens to out there for a reason or another, Juri does raise her gaze from her own misery and summons a playful smile on her lips.]
Evening. I see that insomnia is a common occurrence around here.
