The cold weather never stops the grindstone...
[January had, mercifully, been an easier month for Gunvolt, short of helping with the whole Fear the Great thing. ...And the whole thing with Vivi nearly dying, but it all eventually working out. Okay, so maybe it wasn't a totally easy month but at this point, if there was a moment on the horizon where things weren't looking almost apocalyptic or potentially dangerous for anyone immediately around him, then that was a moment he could be relaxed, relatively speaking. Especially now, knowing one of his best friends wasn't going to die by expiration date.
Once that was cleared up, it was a lot easier to settle back into what could pass for a routine. He kept up his training, but looked to other pursuits.... and perhaps somewhat oddly for him, he seemed to be in brighter spirits despite the darker, colder days of the waning days of January, the dead of winter.]
[A]
[With most of the post-submission reworks on his prototype railgun now done, it was time for Gunvolt to work on a new runic project. But he decided this time it wasn't going to be for a weapon. Or armor. Or anything with combat application. No, this time he was working on something a little more personal, for someone very important to him. And it was also something secretive. He kept most of his notes and progress securely locked away, and anyone in the workshop with keen eyes would notice he never seemed to work on it if Monarch was with him.
If you happen to be an expert in runic inscription or in advanced technology, you might have Gunvolt coming to you in the lab.]
Hey, do you mind if I pick your brain for a little bit? How much do you know about magical or holographic projection? Or advanced illusions? Or application of magical telekinesis?
[...Those certainly are unusually specific questions. Alternatively, he'll be posting somewhere private on the school network, away from prying eyes of a curious AI core.]
So, do we have anyone here on campus that has experience with hard light? Or... maybe advanced robotics? I think we had an android student here at one point, right?
[B]
[An odd occurrence happens in the quad rather spontaneously one day in January, on a gray day while snow lightly fell. Atop one of the switched off fountains, a bright looking girl belted out cheerful winter songs while decked out in heavy winter clothing, with big orange and black butterfly wings behind her. Something of an impromptu concert led by Monarch, meant to brighten and liven the days of the students during a dreary and cold day. Of course, that meant if Monarch was there, Gunvolt or Desidera probably wasn't far away either... so no funny business would be tolerated from the gathered pool of fans.
That said, once she ended her impromptu performance and the crowd mostly dispersed, if you happened by whether having been watching or not, her hologram would float over to you, wings carefully flapping to make it look like she hovered, to speak with you. She wore a bright smile, but one that wasn't performative.]
Ah, hello! Did you enjoy the show, even if there wasn't any new material? There's more of that coming though, I promise! ...Once I'm able to do a comeback show, of course!
[She looks very hopeful for this... though there's doubtlessly more than few hurdles in the way for that. But if you wanted to ever talk to Monarch one on one, this seems like a good chance to do just that. Though don't get any ideas of trying to do something to the AI core.]
[C]
[When not busy working or relaxing, Gunvolt can be found in the common room of Aube, working on homework and studying (despite all the hard work he puts in, there's still the fact he has to go to classes, after all!). He might be in there with you comparing notes for class, practicing conversational Italian, or whatever else. Otherwise, he'll break for the kitchen, cooking a simple meal of instant noodles and a sandwich for lunch. Something of an indulgence, considering Gunvolt normally preferred to eat healthier options at the cafeteria to keep in shape.
Either way, whenever you come by, he greets you with a wave.]
Hey, good to see you. You just passing by, or are you here to visit?
