jannat al-ma'wa [OTA]

[candor1]

WHO: Cassian, Jyn, K-2SO, Revan, OTA
WHERE: Neojedha in Maurtia Falls
WHEN: huh? continuity? (your choice)
WHAT: The dojo opens (multithreads welcome)
WARNINGS: facepalmingly pompous mun!wish-fulfillment re: community service and indie start-ups; any of the reasons someone might need a shelter situation; PTSD sublimation; TL;DRing up the tauntaun. 1 and 2 are kinda infodumps. 3 (knowing us) could did get smutty. 4's accessibly friendly!

P.S. on taking cultural references from karking everywhere (title: Arabic, passcode: Sanskrit, setting: Americanization of Japanese, characters: none of these…) Cassian's trying to avoid cultural appropriation without even knowing the term; I'm stomping carelessly through the tulips. Hopefully not to conflate any of the cultures or schools of thought. Thinking more of The Cloisters: a museum Frankensteined from many different religious sites and relics, exploring the differences and finding underlying agreements, resulting in a space that feels secularly holy.


1. Neojedha: the dojo (attn. Jyn Erso, K-2SO, Revan, OTAnyone who wants to stop in while the place is active)
2. Haven: the safehouse (closed to Jyn, Kay, Revan)
3. The Bridge: between them (closed to Jyn Erso)
4. Outside: the street, the back alley, the fire escape, the roof, etc (OTA - WHAT a proper prompt)
5. The world: NPC neighbors and friends (if you ever come while they're closed and ask the neighbors about the dojo's staff, this is the info you'll get)

"Then you've likely seen what we get up to here," he said mildly, deliberately misquoting her. "What you see is what you get. You can take a class yourself if you like."

[stretchy_girl]

"Perhaps." She responded to both of Cassian's statements with just the one word, letting it linger on the night air.

Cassian didn't raise an eyebrow again, stayed outwardly casual and calm, but, instinctually, this vaguely strange (…strangely vague) exchange was making his skin crawl.

If she wanted something… leaning in was just allowing her to lean back… so perhaps retreating might force her to move forward.

"I'll look for you," he said amiably. "Have a good night." Giving a nod of clear farewell, and moving away from the railing, back in the direction of indoors.

[stretchy_girl]

"I'm sure you will." Gemini replied, a flash of white teeth in the shadow to show her smile. With that, she grabbed the railing and vaulted herself over it, dropping away presumably to her death.

But should Cassian look over the edge there'll be no body spattered in the alley below, no sign of anyone in fact.
