WHO: Jaeger and you!
WHERE: Various shops, Leviathan's Claw, the tunnels
WHEN: 1/20 - 1/21
WHAT: Jaeger’s regained his heart blastia and he’s trying to adapt to the change. Also tunnel exploration, because that’s easier than acknowledging his issues!
WARNINGS: None, but I’ll edit this if anything comes up!

I - Locked to Leviathan’s Claw employees (1/20)

[Jaeger’s made no secret of the fact that his birthday is January 20th. In fact, he’s made sure to mention it multiple times to his lovely employees so they’ll hopefully get him gifts and/or work harder if they’re scheduled that day. He’s a great boss like that.

But instead he woke up this morning with this strapped to his chest. The blastia seems to serve as his heart here too, which has led him to a minor meltdown this morning. He’s actually a little late when he sends the text out.]

Leviathan’s Claw will be closed today. You don’t need to come in.

[That’s it for the message, no explanation or anything. He sends it to all his employees, even the ones who aren’t scheduled today, because quite frankly, he can’t be bothered to remember who was working today in this state.

He’ll be fine eventually, he’s just really not fine right now.]

II (1/20)

[The blastia sits oddly on Jaeger’s chest, which means that none of his clothes actually fit properly anymore. He’s already had to change his wardrobe up thanks to Retrospec’s interference but having to do it again is frustrating. But Jaeger doesn’t have much of a choice, now does he?

He’s able to keep the blastia covered so no one can see it, thankfully. Unfortunately that means he’s back in that outfit he got several months ago. He looks ridiculous with the purple hair and this stupid outfit on, but he’s doing his best not to think about it and get his shopping done.

You can run into him just about anywhere that’s selling men’s clothes, though he does prefer suits and the like. He’ll be looking over the selection with a critical eye, the usual expression of cheer gone and replaced by a small frown. He doesn’t seem too bothered though, all things considered.]

III (1/21)

[Shopping yesterday was mostly successful, so Jaeger’s wearing something normal today as he heads to work. Leviathan's Claw will open at the usual time and Jaeger seems just as chipper as usual. There's no explanation given for why he closed the shop down yesterday. He certainly doesn't seem ill or anything, he's acting like he usually does, if perhaps a bit more annoyingly over-the-top.

Occasionally you can catch him with his hand on his chest, almost like he can't quite catch his breath for a moment before he notices what he's doing and forces himself to stop. You're welcome to call him out on this, of course.

Otherwise he'll be aggressively cheerful and spending most of his time out in the shop proper today instead of doing work in the back. He'll absolutely try to sell you something if you're checking the shop out, be warned.]

IV (1/21)

[Well, Jaeger did manage to get some work done today, but he closes the shop up early and heads down to the tunnels. He’s got a briefcase in one hand, a flashlight in the other, and a backpack on his back. You can find him checking out the train cars, though most don’t hold his interest for very long.

It’s the one with the instruments that catches his interest, and he’ll enter the car and check things out in here. Unfortunately for him (and you, presumably), the doors slam shut. Jaeger goes to try to get the doors open, but the music starts playing and the car begins moving.]

Looks like we’re in for a ride. How annoying.

[He doesn’t look all that annoyed, though. He’s still smiling, after all.]

(For this one I’m willing to use any memory from here or we can use one of your memories! Just let me know what you’d prefer in your comment!)

V (1/21)

[Jaeger eventually reaches the central station, which is exactly where he was trying to get today. The incident in the car earlier doesn’t seem to be bothering him as he makes his way to the shop with the Retrospec symbol. He’ll be in here for a little while, studying the different pamphlets until he comes across one that cheerfully reads “Welcome to Terca Lumireis”. His grip is a bit too tight on that one specific pamphlet and his smile is gone as he studies it. It doesn’t seem like he’s finding whatever he’s looking for though, but he pockets the pamphlet anyway.

The “Welcome to Recollé” book holds his interest for a bit as well, and you can find him taking pictures of a few of the pages, anything that catches his eye. Eventually the electronic recording will interrupt him and Jaeger glances over at you after it’s over.]

That’s strange. Should we check it out?
