Previous CR meme comment here! No overt passingly notable changes. Jade's been keeping himself just a bit more withdrawn than usual of late, and in the downtime he's been kind of weirdly swinging between wanting to throw himself even more into his little magic workshopping projects but also wanting to just sort of slow down on the busywork and try to enjoy what little brief quiet they've currently been afforded. The sense of burnout in multiple aspects got a bit real! But as usual, it's a rather useless sentiment that he'd still rather forego showing off to the world, so in outward casual interactions it's still cheery professionalism all the way...! For the most part. Fairly convincingly.
Routine: ‣ Keeps very sparse sleeping hours and meticulous early morning habits. He's still maintaining his spearmanship training, marksmanship practice with the light-magic gun, and fonic arte experiments with some discretion, usually preferring to work on these things in the relative solitude of less-trafficked hours of the day. But naturally it remains impossible to keep things entirely private on this boat, so people are free to have spotted and noted his habits with any of these things.
‣ He typically likes to canvass all accessible ship locations at least once every couple days to check for notable changes in status, but will generally be most commonly found in the library or on the atheltics/pool decks. The lobby also makes for a fairly quiet spot.
‣ Occasionally he's also poking around in the kitchen. He's not quite as fanatical about it as Some people in there, but! He does enjoy the agency of putting together his own small meals on occasion. One of these days he might get bored enough to start doing questionable food experiments again, though, and when that happens yall gonna be accepting any samples of food he might try to offer you in passing at your own risk smh--
‣ He's also been sliding back into a somewhat habitual drinking pattern again (kick-started back up by the memory rifts and then exacerbated by the labyrinth saga rip), though he does still usually try not to overindulge! Haunts Tauva and the wines there in the later evenings sometimes.
‣ He's keeping subtle but fairly steady tabs on his close friends and pleasant acquaintances where he can; he might not be creeping from the shadows exactly, but he's making note of established habits and any recent new activities, and may be found incidentally hanging around the same areas they might frequent for no particular reason whatsoever. Honestly, it's fine, don't worry about it! Goodness what a small ship huh!!
Plotting: Jade will not be attending the excursion this month! Certain charges friends have actually decided not to throw themselves into reckless death for once, and he knows they'd feel obligated to come if he tried to go now. Plus there's also the more tactical part of him that's still feeling a bit wary of this new variety of excursion going forward! He'd prefer to first learn about how a guaranteed-death scenario like this one goes down before outright leaping into the fire himself, insofar as the tortures at play & energy results with this certain number of people might be concerned. He's also not convinced that those staying on the ship will be entirely free of hardship in the interim. So somebody probably ought to be around to keep an eye on this end too, at least this time around...
Which is his perspective on current proceedings so far in a nutshell! And one I'd be happy to have him share with others, if they want to ask him about it! Otherwise he's in a bit of a holding pattern this month, as the wait for the excursion shoe to drop goes on. I haven't got a lot planned for him atm, but would be happy to get anything rolling! Hopefully as time goes on Jade will be more apt to get caught up in the horrors again, but for now it'll be interesting to see how this all shakes out first.
