The monk is in
Who: Bai Lin and YOU /points at camera
What: Various things
When: Throughout July
Where: Around campus
Warnings: Morning people
-1: Cram sessions-
As has been pointed out, Lin is NOT actually an accredited therapist. She just gets along with people and is good at calming them down. She still got the job, somehow, and she's determined to do it RIGHT, dammit.
This means taking online classes herself and reading lots of books on psychology. She spends a lot of her spare time in the library, and often has a book propped up in front of her during meals in the cafeteria. Cerebral pursuits like this don't come easily to her compared to more physical activities, but Lin still fights at her own perceived inadequacy with just as much determination as she does at physical physical foes in battle.
-2: The doctor is always in-
Lin's job, on paper, is student counselor. She takes it very seriously. Her office hours are technically posted as 2-6pm on weekdays, but unlike Professor Andersen she is ever so flexible. She will answer any call from a student as long as her life is not in danger, or at the very least call you back within the next few minutes. Or you can just flag her down wherever you find her, or stick your head into her office, or even knock on the door to her apartment at 2am on a Thursday.
-3: Morning people are the worst-
Lin's morning routine is like clockwork. Up every day at 6am, stretch, jog around campus, grab breakfast in the cafeteria, shower, meditate somewhere for a while (sometimes in weird places, like on rooftops with no obvious access point.), and be ready to face the day by 7. And not only does she do all this every damn day, she does it all while looking bright eyed and bushy tailed, with every sign of enthusiasm. Absolutely disgusting.
-4: Wildcard!-
Message me on Discord (overbringer#2743) or plurk (
overbringer) if you want to scheme up with a starter for your character with me. Or just throw a scenario at me! I'll probably just roll with it!

With a slightly annoyed noise she's knocking on that door, arms crossed in an attempt to hide the burns again. She can try, but that's a lot to try and hide.]
no subject
After a few seconds of the attack not coming, she slumped her shoulders slightly in relief and stood aside so Jolyne could come in if she liked.]
I have to admit, I wasn't expecting to see you again any time soon.
no subject
Wasn't in the cards, really. But it's either that or talk to those fucks in Soleil and like fuck if I want to do that shit.
[She's just going to make her way past her, looking a good bit more on guard than she normally does. Different from the constantly wanting to aggro everything.]
This shit doesn't get out, right?
no subject
The office was sparsely decorated. Lin didn't really have a lot of STUFF. There was an electric kettle in the corner, next to a water tap and a collection of different kinds of tea, a bunch of books about stuff like computers or psychology on the bookshelf, a filing cabinet, and the kind of laptop all teachers could get standard issue from the school on her desk, along with a bunch of papers and a few files.]
Of course. Whatever you tell me will stay between the two of us unless I think your life is actively in danger. I take this very seriously.

Tokidoki, I believe? How can I help you?
no subject
[It feels weird talking to her in person when his only conversations had been short and blunt text messages.]
I just... I came back from Soleil a couple days ago and then I posted a message to the Network for people to air their grievances with me and such, and I... I wasn't ready for some of the responses that went off topic and I'm... I guess having issues with adjusting and coming back to this environment again...
[He's not sure if that's explained sufficiently, but it's a start.]

She'll poke her head into Lin's office during office hours at some point with a sheepish smile.]
Do you have a bit?
no subject
[Lin waved her in to the sparsely decorated office.]
How can I help you?
no subject
Something's been... bugging me a little since prom and I thought talking it out might help a little.
no subject
Lin gestured for Cordelia to close the door behind her and sit down.]
What's that? Nothing you say in here will leave this room unless you want it to. Or someone's life is in danger.

If they didn't eat in their apartment Nekane tended to pick places on campus where people generally didn't go. Even if it meant breaking into places they weren't supposed to be. So like Lin, Nekane also manages to get up on the rooftop...although they stop when they see her.]
Guess I wasn't the only person with the same idea.
no subject
[Lin was sitting crosslegged on the edge of the rooftop with her eyes closed. She jerked in surprise when she heard someone behind her.]
Hello? Sorry, I wasn't expecting anyone else up here.
no subject
[Pretty interesting she got up here without any obvious access point, but Daybreak hired everyone they could get their hands on. If Lin has some teleportation trick or something like that it wouldn't be much of a surprise.]
Looking for a quite place to eat. But I can fuck off if you want me to.
[She was here first and all, and Nekane's not really in the mood to argue it.]
no subject
She shrugged.]
Moment's gone now, you might as well eat your breakfast.

[Kokoro is also running, although she seems a little unused to doing this for recreation compared to Lin.]
However useful joining up may have seemed for the sake of training, Track Club is a formidable obstacle in the mornings...
no subject
[Recreation wasn't quite the right word. She was just used to training every day and also had a naturally cheery disposition.
Her pace was quick. Kokoro would have to hustle to keep up.]
It's good to push yourself! Keep at it!
no subject
In the spirit of training, one cannot complain!
no subject
[Seeing she's having trouble keeping up, Lin slows down slightly. At her new pace, Kokoro CAN keep up, but only just barely and only by really pushing herself.]

Mostly, this means the library, which Vivi likes, because that means they're often in the same place. With his usual eclectic combination of books (this time it's the histories of various great inventions and their magical enhancements), he sits himself next to Lin and continues where he left off.
Eventually, though, he peers over his book at one of hers.
"You read a lot of books on the same topic," he artlessly says, blinking curiously. "Does that mean you like it a lot?"
no subject
She barely looked up from her book.
"I need to know this stuff, though. People are counting on me now, more than ever."
1. 7/5
He pauses. Probably for a moment too long because now he feels like he's obviously been staring at the spines of her books and now he feels weirdly obligated to say something. Even though, he honestly fucking hates counselors on principle.]
Those books actually help you understand people better?
no subject
[She didn't really know Keith, but had seen him around in the library a lot recently. Then again, she wasn't much of a bookworm herself, normally, so maybe he was always in here and she just hadn't noticed before.]
