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 ([plurk.com profile] 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!

[As much as she doesn't want to do this, there's not many options that aren't hardcore deal with whatever the fuck place Toki's in and those doctors there. That's a little too much for her and she's not entirely sure how Lin's going to react to her being there in the first place. It's been... a couple of days into spring break and she's not too keen on talking about why she's back from her home so quickly.

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.]

[Yep, that's the reaction she expected from her and she's immediately frowning. Everyone seems to think she immediately goes for attacks now, huh? Great, grand.]

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?

[Toki has been back on campus for only two days, but he's already here at Lin's office at 2:07. It's as punctual as he gets. There's no outward signs of nervousness as he knocks on the door; softly and politely.]

[personal profile] yokeye 2019-07-08 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, uhh, hello.

[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.]

[Who's got two thumbs and actual willingness to talk about things bothering her? This girl right here.

She'll poke her head into Lin's office during office hours at some point with a sheepish smile.]


Do you have a bit?
buddinghopes: (I'm listening)

[personal profile] buddinghopes 2019-07-08 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[She slips inside, glancing around the office as she does.]

Something's been... bugging me a little since prom and I thought talking it out might help a little.

[Nekane is very much not a morning person, but they are also not an afternoon or evening person either. Who would have thought that going without sleep for as long as possible makes you grouchy?

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.
opheliaafterdeath: (.7)

[personal profile] opheliaafterdeath 2019-07-10 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Nor was I. Great minds and all that shit.

[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.]

[personal profile] stavros 2019-07-08 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Good morning.

[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...
stavros: Kokoro cheering and fistpumping. ([c] go go go!)

[personal profile] stavros 2019-07-08 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Kokoro takes a deep breath and runs in a burst to catch up, then, panting, starts to slow down again.]

In the spirit of training, one cannot complain!

Miss Lin is a lot more busy now, but while she might not have as much time to talk to him as before, Vivi's happy to follow her around when he's not in classes and see what she's up to.

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?"

[Well, Keith's never really been a student you find hanging out at the library, but these days he's in there a lot. buried in his own pile of books about the Outlands. He spots Bai Lin similarly curled up with a stack of psychology books which is... not unexpected for their school counselor, but like... is this supposed to be in anticipation of lots of traumatized students coming in wanting to talk about how godawful Australia wound up being?

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?

[personal profile] marmoron 2019-07-19 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
But does it actually help you? Understand people, I mean. Or is that stuff more of the usual "theoretical knowledge doesn't replace experiential knowledge."
