out and about [open]
Who: Asuka Langley Soryu, Open
What: Exploring the city and its many ruins.
When: Friday afternoon
Warnings? None, for now. Maybe Asuka being Asuka.
One could only stay cooped up inside for so long. Asuka's routine had been the same for months: get up, go train, come back to her apartment, maybe go shopping, kick the soccer ball around occasionally, drop in on Utena or Kanaya or someone. Or get sent on missions. She'd rarely ventured beyond the market. The crash and subsequent reshuffling of roommates had shaken something loose (or maybe it was because Kaji had returned, maybe it was because of Kaworu or Shinji or a thousand other things that had changed) and Asuka had decided that she wasn't going to keep herself penned in anymore. She was going to see the rest of the city. She'd wandered through the market first, buying a few knick-knacks and snacks (haggling all the while and yelling someone down if she didn't like the price) and then, slowly, she'd started to wander outward. She'd passed through slums, passed crowds of the downtrodden. She hadn't said anything to them - no, she was out here for herself. Not for them. The buildings seemed to become more run down the further from the Hold she went and that hadn't surprised her.
She'd finally chosen one and random and started scrambling up the slope of rubble that made up one wall, intnet on getting to the top to see the lay of the land. It was raining, as always, but at least it was a drizzle instead of a torrential downpour. It was still slippery and once or twice, she caught herself before she took a disastrous tumble. Finally, she settled on the (what had been) the roof, panting, a bit exhausted and a bit banged up, but she felt the better for it. Better then sitting around in her room all day, like she tended to do, after all. She didn't exactly feel happy, but at the same time she wasn't sad or angry. And the view was great! At least when the mist didn't obscure everything.
And that was an improvement. She took a deep breath and then grinned. At the very least, she could smile on the outside.
[OOC: Feel free to encounter Asuka in the market before she heads out or anywhere else in between.]

"I'm sorry to hear that... so you don't even have a home to go back to, if you left." That's... awful. At least he had a world.
no subject
She pushed to her feet and paced a few steps so he wouldn't be able to look at her face.
"I'm fine."
She just had to keep him at arm's length. Just like everyone else (that's wrong, she thought, but she didn't know what else to do).
no subject
The rain wasn't quite a bad as it was earlier, but it was still coming down. He didn't know if she even liked darts, but hopefully it would get her mind off whatever it was he had accidentally brought up.
no subject
"I already have a spear I'm learning to use - I don't think I need darts."

Come on, Asuka, he's trying to be nice, here.
