Supression Request: These Feelings [November Open]
Who: "Slasher Face" Jean and YOU + 1 Closed
What: Jean fuckin' died y'all
When: Early November (before Voyage of the Hollow Men)
Where: Oak & Iron, the Community Board, Around Town, the Temple
Warnings: Discussion of death, Bad Feelings, likely shit from Jean's dark-ass canon, traumatic flashbacks, burning/scarring
Notes: Just getting on this early while I have spoons
Containment Breach [Oak & Iron | Closed to Zelda | CW Traumatic Flashbacks, Burning/Scarring]
Jean wakes with a start, and the phantom feeling of cold. Their clothes are ill-fitting butcher's slops, smelling incongruously of wet dog, and the uncomfortable sensation is almost enough for them to center themself.
Almost.
The sensation of burning starts immediately, and the contrast between their mind's insistence that they are freezing to death and the reality of the crawling heat against their left cheek draws a gritted sound of pain from their throat. Over the course of nearly a minute, a skull and crossbones is scorched into their face, and they have to take awhile to just breathe.
It's in vain. The tally mark comes next.
Jean has no idea that it's been exactly 24 hours, which means they're trapped in the inn; after all, it's well after dark. A familiar face might be needed to coax them out from under the table. Goddesses know the staff don't want anything to do with this.
Org Chart [Community Board]
Signup sheets go up on the community board, asking for volunteers for three emergency teams, just beneath a note explaining the idea.
To better effect emergency responses to the ongoing siege of Marrow Island, Comrade Jean (Pumpkin Hollow Recovery Task Force) is seeking volunteers to staff and lead response teams which will coordinate on own initiative during notable crises. The teams are as follows:
COMBAT TEAM: Directly combat curse incursions with a focus on harm reduction and pro-active containment; protect citizens and infrastructure through violent force.
MEDICAL TEAM: First aid and triage, preventative care, bodymen. The grim work of aid during a disaster or surprise attack.
COMMUNICATIONS TEAM: Detect and report emergencies, coordinate activities between all teams and citizens, swiftly and effectively transmit information on the disaster in a concise manner.
Volunteers are encouraged to leave their names and phone numbers on the forms provided below, or to contact JEAN or MADAM PRINCESS ZELDA directly at their homes or anywhere in town. These teams are not sanctioned or sponsored by any existing organization on MARROW ISLAND and are strictly voluntary; however, JEAN is offering combat training to any citizen or Task Force member that desires it, regardless of volunteer status, during their shore leave between the hours of 6 AM and 1 PM.
[OOC Note: Feel free to leave a drive-by to just handwave volunteering, to seek Jean out in person for a thread, or even to attend training!]
This Meeting Could Have Been An Email [Around Town]
With the events of the festival heavy on their mind, Jean is making an effort to check in on friends, peers, and potential assets, not that those divisions are particularly clear in their mind right now. Did you make plans with Jean before the catastrophe? Here they are to follow up. Consider this the catch-all for That Thing That Was Plotted, but it's also the chance to catch Jean at the Oak & Iron getting their coffee, haunting the tailoring shops again with a distinct thought towards actually spending money on clothes, interrupt them grocery shopping, or otherwise gently find (and possibly hold) the nugget.
Fuck You, Pay Me [The Temple]
At some point when Jean feels like they've got ducks in a row, they come into the Temple of a morning to provide a strong contender for least reverent prayer in recent history. Curiously, they've washed up extra hard first, combed their messy hair and even shined their shoes, but...
Well. Jean doesn't kneel before the altar, and while their tone is quiet respect, the words...
"Your enemy seems to think you exist, Manager Kora, and that you have some manner of power, some stake in me. I fought too hard and too long to choose for myself only to end up here for reasons I couldn't control, and as amazing as that is...I don't work for free. Not ever again, not after the Library. I am not your plaything. If you want me as your employee...then we need to talk. And if you won't, kindly stop by the City, make an appointment with R-Corp to rent their cloning vats, and use them to go fuck yourself."

Thoughtful pause while his hands work.
"Are you certain that would be Ms Leeds reaction? Has she ostracized anyone before?"

SERIES OF DOTS
"...As for my home, the Age of Humanity is ascendant. It. Happened before my time. At some point many non-human things lived in the City, and then they were driven out. Those that would not leave were executed, hunted down in their hiding places and their homes and slaughtered. The creation of mechanical intelligence is still the highest taboo."

"Well, I'm glad that you don't seem to have a problem working with me, personal conflicts aside." Jean hasn't struck him as xenophobic at all, but First Aid isn't going to ask any deeper discussions about that just now. He doesn't want to trigger another argument about their cultures, or get side-tracked.
"I'm really not a fan of the idea of this person trying to stop or punish me for spending my money where I want to," he finally lets his annoyance enter his voice. "I fail to see how she has the right. She might run the mint, but once the currency passed into my hands in exchange for my labor it became mine to do with what I will. It isn't as though I'd be funding illegal activity," he adds with a sniff.
"I don't suppose there's any chance you'd accept some of it now, secretly, and we can work out how to deal with Dahlia after you've finished your recovery?"

He's nearly done here, actually; with the practice he got from the previous exam, installing the new gates is much simpler than removing the burned-out ones were.
"Despite our previous disagreements, I do want to work with you, Jean. It doesn't matter to me that we don't see eye to eye on everything. You were correct that my mindset is mission-first."

"Installation's done," he says quietly, most of the tension finally gone from his voice. Most of the issues they discussed will have to wait for another day, but at least in the short term First Aid thinks Jean -- his patient -- will be fine. That's the most important part. "Just let me sew you back up and you'll be free to go."
