[ karen starr, post-pan plot ]

[ god, it had been a mad start to the new year.

john had not been involved with the rescue but, as a former army surgeon, he volunteered his services. according to what he heard, the spell had been broken but people were killed and pan had escaped. it wasn't the resolution he was hoping for, but at least it was over and heropa was no longer some terry gilliam inspired version of neverland.

sitting hunched forward in the living room and scrolling through his phone for train times, john side-eyes the feline glaring at him through its slitted eyes from the opposite chair. ]

Right, cat food. Thanks for the reminder.

[ oddly enough, they have been getting along far better than when he and karen were living together. ]

[ gregor vorbarra, mid january ]

[ john had started cycling to work again. domesticity often meant putting on weight and he was aiming to lose the seven pounds he had somehow put on over thanksgiving and christmas. this morning though, he had left his bottled water behind and stopped by a café on the way to work, leaving his bike opposite the parking meter that had a man staring cluelessly at it.

that is nothing unusual – john doesn't know how parking meters work and they've never responded when he swears at them in frustration. it's only when he comes out of the café with a bottle of water and finds the man is still there that he wanders over. ]

Are you all right mate?

[ wild card! ]

[ maybe you’ve got a GP appointment with him. john works at a small clinic in heropa and has recently been taking work at some of the after-hours walk-in centres. you could spot him waiting for his order at a take-out place, drinking at a bar or signed up at one of the gyms your character attends. he can be accosted at any of these places and anything goes! ]
