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!

[She's a little tense and ready to bolt the second those hands come near her, but it's over as soon as it started and she's just letting her take a look at them. Despite herself, she is noticing those scars on her hands, huh. Jolyne's look... recent, probably a few weeks old at the most.]

... Right. [Green. Green is always the one to go with and she's picking it to sit down in at least.]

Goddamn, where to start... [Probably the burns thing.]

So, um. After prom I... kind of jumped another student, fucked his shoulder up with Stone Free's help. Kinda... got set on fire for a little bit from him protecting himself, was in bandages until kinda recently.

That's... the first awful thing to happen recently. There's... there's more. [But she'll let her process or ask questions on that shit first.]

[She's nodding slowly to that gesture, might as well.

Continue, right.]


... Dunno if you heard that I went back home for a few days. Mostly to see my mom and chill a little. Ended up... tracking my ex down and cutting his goddamned tongue out with my strings. I don't... really know if anyone cared that much that I did it. At the time felt like it was the right thing to do, now I don't have a fucking clue.

[LOOK, IT MADE SENSE AT THE TIME.]

He was the prick that put me in prison. [Blunt. To the point. And in an oddly low volume for her.]

[O o f, she's well aware of that tone and is looking down at her hands.]

It did at the time. That's... I guess why I'm here now? I thought that'd be the end of it, that I'd be satisfied with that. But I'm... not, just kinda feel empty instead.

Not in much of a violent mood right now. [Now that is fucking new.

She does quietly listen to her talk now, however, she'd hoped maybe it was just because it wasn't worth it. But fixing the damage he'd caused? She's not... too sure if that's even possible at this point.]


I don't... know if it's possible to undo that damage. The records are still there as far as I'm aware and everyone here practically hates me anyway. One exception and only one, as far as I know, so what's really the fucking point?

You sure about that? Sure feels like I can be.

[Tea, right. Tea's good. Ugh, she's just going to quietly sip on that for a moment.]

"Some" black marks, seems like it's being a little understated. It's weird, though, as far as I know, no one's... really said anything about the assault incident or the Romeo incident. It just seems they shrugged and moved on. The... faculty, anyway, which is weird, but works. [That's not how that shit works Jolyne, oh my god. But it does get under her skin since it doesn't really get her the attention she'd wanted.]

Question is where do I even fucking start?
strings_theory: (ida27)

[personal profile] strings_theory 2019-07-08 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
... Why? [Goddammit, Jolyne, no.

She's rubbing her face once again with a small sigh. Of course this wouldn't be easy, she already knew that it wasn't going to be. But there's something about knowing that it might just not even work that's making her far more uncomfortable about everything.

Why is she here. Why is she admitting any of this. Why this?]


Probably be better if I wasn't here, honestly.

[Does she want to change, though? That's the real question. She does like the fights and getting herself riled up, but then it comes with consequences that... aren't as good. Which leads her to quietly rubbing at a particularly nasty looking scar on the upper side of her wrist.]

I'd say there's ways around that, but that sounds ominous and... not something I'd actually do. [Nah, even if she was in the lowest of the low, she's not someone to go out with a whimper. Not her style and it never would be.]

And you really think I'm capable of change? Not just bullshitting me so I'll get the hell out of here?

[What is positive physical contact? What. But she'll take that, even if she's so damn confused right now.]

I... I guess so?

Um. Thanks...? Shit, I don't know how to end any of this. I guess there's always more shit to say but that's not really relevant to anything right now. [Liar. But the violence thing is probably the priority.]

[She wants her to do what now? She's quiet for a moment as she's turning that over in her mind, normally once it gets to that point it's not really easy to think about anything other than that...]

No promises, but I can try?
