[mission: hyrypia] then the holy paths we'll travel strew'd with rubies thick as gravel

CHARACTERS: EVERYONE
WHERE: Hyrypia - The Graze
WHEN: DAY :014 - 016
SUMMARY: Two days of horseback hunting training, followed by the second round of competition.
WARNINGS: Will update as necessary. Need a warning added? PM this account please!






THE GRAZE
DAY :014 - :015

THE DAY FOLLOWING the festivities finds the majority of competitors and spectators still buzzing with the competition’s failures and successes, but there is little time to gloat or moan about the results. By the time the sun has risen over the graze there's a new announcement: there will be two days of additional training followed by another day of competition. Today and tomorrow will be dedicated to learning skills vital to the hunt.

0. TRAINING

THE TRAINING FIELD has become familiar, but the decor has changed- as have the the teachers. Unlike the previous riding and herding lessons which featured ropes and hooks, today's syllabus includes a series of more dangerous tools. The short spears that line the racks may be dulled but they still look painful, and the speed at which they're hurled from the intricately carved Sarvat - the traditional spear throwers - is intimidating.

At first glance, the slings of woven and stained Gryer leather are less impressive-- but the different ammo that can be loaded in them proves interesting: a bio-luminescent tagging liquid that stains the targets that it hits and leaves distinct trails, hard metal weights, and carefully handled poison globes.

Over the next day the envoys are are trained to use the weapons from Elinback in addition to being schooled in a number of simple traps and snares that leave little confusion as to the nature of the next challenge events...



THE GRAZE &
THE MINIATURE FINGER MAZE
DAY :016


I. THE CHASE

THE HERD of technomanced automaton Gryer sits idle in the knee-high silvery grass of the Graze. They're nothing like the Elin (who exhibit all the traits of live animals); these automatons seem to know only two basic concepts: don't run, and run. Right now they're practicing the former as the competing riders are divided into large, mixed hunting parties. Once the parties have been formed, they take turns taking their runs at the herd. Among the herd of thirty, four Gryer have been painted a brilliant sapphire. To strike one down requires either two metal weights to the head, a spear to the neck piece, or two spears to its midsection.

When the hunting parties take off so do the automaton Gryer. And they're fast, moving as of one mind - a school of mechanical fish through a sea of silver grass. It'll take cleverness, skill and a bit of daring riding to either cut the targets free of the herd or go crashing through among the running Gryer to strike a target down among its brainless brothers and sisters. Once struck enough times or in the right place, the sapphire Gryer will lose power and drive spectacularly into the earth.

The attentive audience (many of them armed with an array of binoculars from their personal belongings) might cheer when appropriate, but due to the distance at which much of the action takes place most of the observation is spent eating, drinking, and enjoying the shockingly pleasant weather.

II. THE 75th HUNGER GAMES PURSUIT

THE BREEZE GROANS through the shadowy pocket of the canyon system, whistling tiredly through the coral structures - along narrow bridges and between tight passages. Familiar to anyone who competed in the individual race on Day :013, this shadowy miniature canyon is crawling with automated creatures to 'kill.' The only problem? Beating everyone else to one of them. With the blare of that now-familiar horn, the hunters mounted on their Elin take off into the canyon and rapidly splinter into disparate groups or simply go off on their own into the tangle. It doesn't take long at all to lose sight of other riders, to begin to feel completely alone in the low light of early evening. Mist rises from the canyon floor and the breeze moans ominously through the pockmarked coral structures.

It'll take more cleverness and accuracy than high speed riding skill to claim a prize here. But best work quickly and quietly to avoid having your target poached out from under your nose…

III. THE AFTERMATH

THE SECOND CHALLENGE ENDS with a long, mournful cry of the now-familiar horn. All of the possible targets have been captured and to the victors go the spoils in the form of the accumulated scores, carefully kept by the judges. The losers are left empty handed-- at least until the spectators and competitors alike have made it back to the tent encampment. Then their hands are filled with the same liquor and a new spread of simple, filling, and delicious dishes expertly prepared by the servants of the manor.

There’s some ceremony to it - the meat they are eating is the same that they would have served if their hunt had been for something more than machines. However, mostly this seems to be a chance to relax sore muscles. That's aided by the addition of several leather-enclosed tents raised earlier in the day. Once the sun sets, these tents are filled with hot, relaxing steam and lined with benches: saunas! ...which might provide some comfort for anyone not stuck wearing a heavy robe. :(






((OOC Notes: This log covers the two days of mounted combat/hunting skills training and the competition which follows. You can find a full breakdown of the events/a place for mini-event specific questions HERE. Sign-ups will remain open until the next event log for the finale goes live, however going forward please make sure to either join the individual event or have a full team selected for the team events.

A. Hail the conquering hero?

[ Asuka's solo event had not gone nearly as well as she would have liked. She'd been prepared to be able to peg targets. She was good at that - what she hadn't been prepared for was the stalking and hunting part. She grew up in a city and she'd never actually gone hunting - so she'd blundered through on her Elin, chasing after her targets with increasing frustration. She'd shrugged off attempts to help. She needed a solo win - and she'd come up empty. Worse, she'd taken a tumble off of her Elin in the process and she's fairly sure she's going to bruise (or worse). She's carefully picking her way back through the tents, head down, unseen features creased in a frown.

The buzz and emotional high of the last few days has worn off and now she's back to feeling isolated. Funny what a few bad moments can do to you. She elbows past someone before realizing it's another Host. She pauses for half a moment before she speaks, voice sour and reluctant.
]

...Sorry.

[ Which is better then it might have been. At least she's not yelling. ]

...did you see the last event? [ Maybe her humiliation wasn't spotted by other members of the Nest. ]

B. Wildcard

[ You know the drill. ]

[ there was nothing to gain and nothing to lose from a little check-up, he'd told himself. anything less would be callous of him, he'd told himself. ikari's arrival had surely psyched her for the worse, he'd told himself. the ball was in her court to dismiss him at any time, he'd told himself.

she was best left alone, his better sense had replied. the robbers who'd ransacked her life were those very presumptions of adults who thought they knew better, his better sense had replied. a group to which he belonged, his better sense had replied. after this, he was going to hell, his better sense had replied.

and yet here he stands, only moments away from having a conversation with asuka soryu, for reasons as yet unknown. he catches her at the camp enclosure. it is not so much her height but her posture, spine perpendicular to the ground, those stubborn shoulders, that tip him off.
]

You've been really putting yourself out there, Asuka. [ so this is how a young girl will interpret his challenge, forget or die already. it is no marked departure from her coping mechanisms from before. any changes to her tried and untrue routine were perfunctory, cosmetic alterations that didn't even pretend to interrogate the dissatisfaction in her heart. kaji doesn't understand. it wasn't as if she had a lover that kept her from reprieve. her life was truly her own, no strings attached, her own to consummate.

he guesses, that's part of the problem.
] How's it finding you?
redheadcarrier: (Fingers on the screen.)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2017-09-04 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Asuka, as always, is stuck between wanting to be alone and wanting to have affection and attention. It's her duality. It's the problem that's plagued her for most of her life and that hasn't stopped here, although to a certain degree she's been inching toward something more stable now that there seem to be people who will accept her for who and what she is. She's on her way to some minor errand, cloth and veils trailing behind her. She slows and then halts as Kaji speaks to her and her body language shifts.

it goes from being large, from being determined to take up space to something that's slightly more recognizable as a teenage girl. There's an undercurrent of excitement and her movements are quick, fueled by the spark of joy that bursts at the back of her mind.
]

Kaji!

[ There's no mistaking the happiness in her voice, either. She makes a move as if she wants to give him a hug or embrace - and then seems to stop herself, fingers curling as she forces her hands behind her back, swaying on her heels. ]

I'm doing great!

[ Well, not so great on her very last attempt, but an effort was made. ]

Learning how to ride has been kind of fun, actually. Even if it's nothing like what I'm used to.
ryohji: (pic#10951761)

[personal profile] ryohji 2017-09-08 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it was times like this that you had to give asuka langley soryu credit where it was due. whatever the girl's flaws in personality and temperament might be, her dedication to the great facade of i'm doing fine-ness could not be denied. she couldn't convince a blind-mute if her life were on the line, but there was something to be said about her persistence. and following that something, whatever it was, were the qualifiers maddening, hopeless, counterproductive.

under the hood, kaji's expression is less than friendly, but he refrains from any knee-jerk responses. drop the act, asuka. if she wants - needs - to play this game... well, she'd be hard-pressed to find a better athlete than in him.
]

You can say that again, [ from her lunges to her knife-work to her gun-work, asuka's piloting style was a macabre mixture of ballet, surgery, and demolition. ] And to think, you were too young to drive a car around Berlin or Tokyo-3. Seems silly to think about, doesn't it.
redheadcarrier: (glasses)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2017-09-09 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She has to keep pretending. It's only partially for the benefit of everyone around her that she does. Quite often it's for herself. If she can only fool herself into believing that she's happy, maybe it will be true. Although deep down, she knows she isn't. Never will be. So she keeps moving forward, keeps trying, keeps pushing for the sake of finding a space where maybe she won't hate herself as much as she does. ]

Little bit. Why don't they let us start driving younger? Especially people like me.

[ A pilot before she was even out of grade school. ]

To what do I owe the honor of a visit?

[ There's a touch of suspicion below the surface. As happy as his presence sometimes makes her, she knows that he's always avoided entangling himself with her. So why is he here? ]

Laws rarely correspond to logic. And, adults don't appreciate the idea of getting upstaged by a child.

[ difficult as it is, kaji succeeds in avoiding any changes to his tone. that was his tactful and politic answer. fighting angels was one thing, self-contained incidents that began with klaxons and ended with a deluge of blood, but the thought of asuka on the road, accountable to often purposeless traffic laws, without a crisis looming... some thoughts were just too terrible to contemplate.

it didn't matter anymore. kaji wonders if it ever will.
]

I've been known to swing by here and there, [ like comet viewings, these events were widely known but no less rare or isolated. ] without special reason. So, I'd appreciate if you'd drop the suspicion.
redheadcarrier: (Monochrome phone.)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2017-09-11 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
You never seemed to care that much before.

[ It's direct and blunt and she sends that spinning straight at him, because there's nothing here to stop her from doing so. There's no structure, there's no fear that Kaji might leave her, because she knows that he's already made his choice. She's already lost him once. Never had him in the first place. So why bother trying to appease him anymore?

Even if he does make her happy.

It's complicated.
]

Adults always want something. [ The cheerfulness had been relatively genuine. Now it's falling away. ]
ryohji: (pic#10951793)

[personal profile] ryohji 2017-09-11 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
People show their care in many ways.

[ she throws and finds her aim hitching, because while the accusation spins straight it does so straight over his head for all his reaction shows for it. for example, people can show their care with distance. and kaji would argue that distance was the best care he could offer her, given the nature of their relationship and the illusions she held concerning it.

he hopes, that they could now talk about those illusions as something of the past. something held then abandoned, like a parting hug before boarding a plane. like old love.
]

That may be true, but the same can be said for children. The relationships between people are inherently reciprocal. There's nothing wrong with that, provided there's a fair give and take.

[ look at him talk, as if his own relationships came close to making the grade. but frankly, there was not a single thing he wanted from asuka. ergo, the distance. ergo, her suspicion. ergo, his need to justify it with axoims. ]
redheadcarrier: (Silent misery.)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2017-09-13 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's like that with Kaji and Misato both, although at least Kaji has the kindness (or foolishness, maybe) to not completely dismiss her out of her hand and treat her as little more than a fixture in the room. Better than being treated as nothing. Better than apathy. She takes a breath, gaze dropping away. How does she deal with this? He won't take the bait and he won't answer the question. She wants to be happy he's here, but it feels hollow. Like there's another shoe waiting to drop. She can't ever be quite comfortable around him, because there's the chance that this is going to end up as nothing or just another distraction. ]

Do you care?

[ It's quiet and it's direct. She wants to believe. She desperately, horribly wants him to actually care. She knows that he's never going to love her, there's never going to be a romance. But she still craves his approval. ]

[ She hates everything about Asuka's life and drives. Probably because there's nothing real different in her own past. Child soldier, must succeed at all things. She's silent for a long moment. She doesn't want to give the girl some useless fucking platitude about how at least she'd tried, but that is how she feels. They're doing their best to keep this mission running, and it wouldn't look good if none of them gave it a shot. ]

I flubbed my riding event too.

[ A shrug. ]

What can you do? Some people spend their whole lives mastering this shit, and we got a couple days.
redheadcarrier: (Monochrome phone.)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2017-09-04 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Asuka's still smarting from her failure. She'd done so well on the first even and she'd even managed at the second. And then she'd completely blown it on the third. Her shoulders tighten and she glances at Annie as she approaches. She grits her teeth and straightens her back, throwing her chin up. ]

It wasn't my fault.

[ She needs to accept that responsibility, honestly. But to do that in front of others would risk her fragile, budding sense of self-esteem. ]

If I had more time, I would've cleaned up!

[ More time to... what? Hunt? Learn? Train? ]
sistershoggoth: (pic#10136211)

[personal profile] sistershoggoth 2017-09-04 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's what I mean.

[ It's probably not exactly helpful that Asuka's outrage slides right off of her. Sometimes there's nothing more enraging that someone standing there unflappable in the face of your hurt. But, well, she gets it. ]

Can't be the winner every time.

[ Annie glances off at nothing, her own thoughts wandering. ]

( It's pretty hard, going from a setup where you know all the rules and shit and exactly how to be the best at everything, to this. Pisses me off too. But gotta take your lumps and let the other fucks clean up this time. )
redheadcarrier: (Yelling match imminent.)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2017-09-04 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Logically, Asuka knows that Annie is right. She can't win every time. She shouldn't expect to win every time. But she still feels crushed when she fails. She still feels as if she's let down everyone around her. She's failed herself. And she's right back to being the worthless nothing that people tolerate. ]

I should be able to, though. I'm better than that!

[ Saying that doesn't mean it'll happen. And it sounds a touch petulant, but Asuka doesn't really know a better way to express it. She settles for letting her words do all the talking for her this time, choosing not to respond via the link.
Yet.
]
sistershoggoth: (pic#10136242)

[personal profile] sistershoggoth 2017-09-04 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ugh. Asuka's guilt and anxiousness hits Annie like a thunderstorm, stirring up resonance that she'd rather not share. Then again, when has she ever been any good at hiding it? She'd spent all their time on the Station harassing everyone she could her hands on to train, to prepare, because she couldn't stand the thought of not doing everything she possibly could to guarantee success. Not her own, maybe that's the difference. She'd fail a thousand times if it meant they all survived this. That wasn't the way it used to be, it all used to be about Annie and her success. Look where that's gotten her.

She rubs her mouth through the rough fabric of the hood, feeling the urge for a cigarette. Fighting it because she's in the middle of something here. ]


Nobody thinks any less of you right now, that shit's all in your head. You went out there and did it, more than I can say for myself.
redheadcarrier: (Monochrome phone.)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2017-09-04 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Of course they think less of her. If she's not succeeding, what good is she? Asuka's stuck halfway between believing that and wanting to discard it entirely. She's spent most of her life stuck in that headspace, though, and it's not easy to just discard it. Even if there are people trying to tell her that it (that she) matters. She shrugs, not sure what to say. She's not used to sharing feelings. The link has forced it on her and it's still hard, even with people encouraging her. She should be happier.

It's not that easy, though.
]

How do you know that?

[ Asuka's reply is surly. As if Annie needs to convince Asuka that she's not trash. ]

I wasn't good enough.
sistershoggoth: (pic#11186174)

[personal profile] sistershoggoth 2017-09-04 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's interesting how pervasive self-hate can be. Annie is certain she's the trashiest trash to ever be trash. She knows what she's done, even if sometimes she won't admit it out loud that she does. She's weak and cowardly, and that sure is a pathetic way for Earth's savior to behave. Sure was pathetic that Earth got its ass saved by a psychotic junkie. She bites at her lower lip. There's no one who can possibly hate themselves more than Annie does. That's just the way that emotion feels.

And she looks at Asuka and thinks... she can't even know. She can't even know how much worse things can get for you on the inside. Doesn't even know how much more disgust and suffering there is to go as the world shits on you, as you lose more and more loved ones, as the spark to keep fighting drains out of you and you have to keep going.

She bites at her lower lip, wearing at it. ]


This time, doesn't make it permanent. Maybe there isn't time now, but we can go over it again.

[ It makes her nauseous to say that, to enable Asuka's need for perfection but Annie doesn't know any better way to ease that ache either. She has it. She has it because she knows that every imperfection can let someone down, can let someone die. ]

We've got backup, this time. It's ok.
redheadcarrier: (Darkness)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2017-09-05 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Asuka probably understands it more than Annie realizes. She's been there; running on anger and a determination to make one's self loved until there's nothing left but a hollow emptiness and a bitter apathy towards existence. The only thing that's saved her is, funnily enough, her own experience of death and the impact of having herself turned and twisted by forces beyond her comprehension. That's only taken her so far, though. She has to do the rest by herself - and that's the difficult part. She doesn't know enough about Annie to judge, doesn't know her demons.

So she sort of thinks of her reassurance as being... empty.
]

It's still a failure.

[ She's being stubborn. Her mind is telling her that if she keeps making mistakes, if she keeps failing, she's going to end up discarded all over again. Just like last time. ]

People don't want failures.

I didn't end up seeing much from the middle of it.

[ The prickly emotion Asuka radiates don't strike Bellamy as particularly out of the ordinary. Asuka is combative. Bellamy's accepted this and prepared to roll with it; he'd handled Jasper nearly the same way. He's had practice. ]

Are you okay?

[ He hadn't heard anything about injuries, but that doesn't remove the possibility. And it's hard to see for sure with the robes covering every inch of skin. It'd served Bellamy well after using his powers before the last race, but the drawbacks he'd considered when Rhan had first showed them the robes persisted. Keeping their cover was still an inconvenience. ]
redheadcarrier: (ok lets go)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2017-09-11 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine.

[ She's brusque and a bit blunt, but that's how she normally is, these days. The happy-go-lucky Asuka doesn't come out all that often anymore. She rolls her shoulders in a shrug. ]

I just - I didn't do well. I failed.

[ She sounds sort of upset about that, maybe for good reason. ]

I should've been better.
deployed: (058)

[personal profile] deployed 2017-09-12 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ Asuka isn't expressing anything Bellamy hasn't felt himself. It's something he'd felt as he'd slid off his own Elin, empty-handed and faintly frustrated. He shakes his head. ]

I didn't catch anything either.

[ Coming close didn't cut it in this competition. Bellamy doesn't bother appealing to the idea of near-misses. ]

But some of our people didn't fail. That still keeps us in the running, Asuka.

[ He can't blame her for feeling responsible. Bellamy doesn't know if Asuka feels the same crushing urgency towards this mission that he does. But he senses that she'd like to suceed one way or another, despite how flippantly she'd taken to Misato's suggestion of destruction. ]
redheadcarrier: (Silent misery.)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2017-09-13 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't me.

[ It sounds selfish and it really is. It's the cry of someone who wants attention, who wants respect, who wants so much and a part of her still sees stacking up victories as the way to do that, even if she knows deep down that the only way to climb out of the hole she's in is to drag herself. ]

I failed.

[ She could make excuses or push the blame on someone else and she'd like to, but it was an individual competition. And she knows that ultimately it does come down to her performance. ]

I shouldn't have.
deployed: (280)

[personal profile] deployed 2017-09-17 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The sentiment Asuka's putting forth is more complicated than Bellamy had intended. He has to pause to consider it, and set it against the prickles of her mind against his own. She's young. Right now, she reminds him so much of Jasper it's painful. ]

You're as new to riding Elin as the rest of us. You shouldn't do this to yourself.

[ This being make herself solely responsible, blow up a failure into a monstrous thing. Bellamy has some experience with having done that. ]

There's more than one way to be useful here. It's not as straightforward as winning a competition.

[ As much as Bellamy wishes otherwise. ]
redheadcarrier: (Surly)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2017-09-18 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's fear there, as well. Fear that the people who have praised her, who have propped her up, who have encouraged her are all going to leave her in the dust now that she's made a mistake. It's real and unshakable, no matter how she tries to hide it behind mental walls. And with it is a muted scorn. She doesn't need them - didn't want them anyway.

Sour grapes.
]

Shouldn't do what? Tell myself the truth?

[ Tell her she's wrong, Bellamy. Please.

It's what she wants.
]
deployed: (069)

[personal profile] deployed 2017-09-26 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not the truth.

[ Talking to Asuka sometimes makes him think of unsteady ground, rocks shifting underfoot or a grounder-laid trap opening beneath him. He latches onto the thin thread of fear, follows it past the initial burst of scorn. ]

There weren't enough targets. We're doing this as a team. It doesn't matter if you or I missed the mark. We know other people didn't.

[ This assurance isn't enough. Not against the urge to prove herself he can feel thrumming in Asuka's gut. But Bellamy offers it anyway, steady and unflinching; maybe it will be enough later, when she hears it repeated from another person's mouth. ]
redheadcarrier: (Surly)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2017-09-27 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ She wants to believe that. Really does. A part of her aches for that to be true, but the rest of her tells her that it isn't. That she's failed and because of that, everyone around her is going to look at her as useless. That they'll toss her aside because of her failure and she'll be left alone again. Just what she wanted (and doesn't want, hates, loathes, desires). ]

I'm not other people. I'm not supposed to make mistakes!

[ Which is a lie, but everyone knows it. She knows it. So why not lie? ]
