The doctor is still in. And also she isn't a doctor

Who: Bai Lin and others
What: Catch-all for August
When: August
Where: Around the school
Warnings: Implied offscreen naughtiness

-Office hours-

2-5pm, mon-thurs are the official times that Lin can be contacted by anyone who needs to talk to the school counselor. The reality of it, however, is that she will talk to anyone at any time who needs her. She is a sucker for a sob story.

Her office was starting to look a bit more lived in. Aside from the standard issue furnishings (filing cabinet, bookshelf, desk, chairs, etc), she had added a teapot and a bunch of varieties of tea, a baby animal wall calendar, and a small incense stick holder (currently not in use).

-Training hours-

Lin had promised several people that she would try to teach them what she knows, for various reasons. Either they wanted her help or she thought they needed it and had talked them into it. What she had NOT promised to do, despite what others might think, is to actually teach them martial arts. Her techniques could be alarmingly lethal and, in the wrong hands, could get a lot of people hurt. She was very careful about who she taught them to. Meditation and breathing techniques, however, were perfectly safe to teach, good for mental health, and legitimately the foundation on which a lot of other stuff was built. So technically she hadn't lied to anyone!

She generally met people in the gym at the Legionnaire Quarters, as she found the Mythril Cage to be too hostile looking for her preferences.

-Power hours-

Lin loved new experiences, but she also found routine comforting. It was how she had grown up. In the morning she jogged and meditated. In the afternoon she worked. In the evening she lifted. Back at the Legionnaire Quarters, but on her own time now, Lin made ample use of the weight machines. When you don't have a flame, or a magic crest, or a daemonic contract, you have to grab every advantage you can, and that means staying swole as fuck.

Who else uses their evenings to hit the gym? She's not here EVERY night, but she's here often enough that one might be forgiven for making that mistake.

-Wild hours card-

[If you got other ideas hit me up on discord or plurk, or just throw a prompt at me and I'll roll with it.]

Sounds like something you should have to earn. [Stop that.

But she's not entirely sure how to approach this and is just slumping down into that chair.]


Given the reputation, you're probably familiar with Toki by now, right?

[There's a small bitter laugh as she hears that last part, of course he is. Of fucking course.]

Goddammit, I'm not surprised in the fuckin' slightest by that. But yeah, it's... kind of a lot. He's gotten better, a hell of a lot, since I first met him. But, you know, he's gotten better and I'm still over here being an utter fuckin' trash fire.

[She's quiet for a long moment, focus turning to her hands. It's not a wrong assessment and she hadn't really thought that she'd remember any of that shit.]

Am I wrong for thinking that? It was either come here, learn, and eventually be thrown into this hunter business, or spend fifteen years in prison for something I didn't do.

Either way I'm stuck somewhere that I'm not completely sure is actually a good thing for me. I mean, this is a more plush option and has less rules on it, but I'm still not really able to leave if I wanted to.

[That's the million dollar question.]

... No fucking idea, honestly.

[She's just rubbing at her face for a moment, why does this sort of thing always happen to her? God.]

Yeah, yeah, that's the same kind of shit I heard before and yet here I still am not knowing what the hell is even going on. I don't like being tied down to something, I like having an option. Which I sure as shit don't have here, not the school's fault on that one, though.

[That's not really helping much, Lin, but the thought is... appreciated? Maybe?]

And that sounds annoyingly familiar, too, the whole classes thing. [She didn't fail everything last time, so hey, that's at least a good note on her end.]

Here's the thing, I doubt even once this shit is over that I'm going to have an option of what I want to do. I owe some people a debt now, more or less, and given my fuckin' family, trouble's gonna follow me no matter what I do.
