[Open] Heat Haze
Who: Jail, various bystanders, and you.
What: Installation and maintenance.
When: Throughout July.
Where: Anywhere on campus.
Warnings: Jailbreak continues to Jailbreak.
I. Hot air
[Usually, Jail's own worktable in her room provided enough for her to work with. But some projects required a little extra space. And, well, if you've got the resources so generously provided by an institute as well-funded as Daybreak, you may as well make use of them while you have the opportunity. Hence why you might potentially run into Jail working on something large and complex with a lot of fiddly mechanical parts in the Anvil of Hadur.]
[Which is pretty reasonable and fine. The part that's a little less reasonable is the bit where she's also wearing headphones...]
-can tell your boyfriend, if he says he got beef, that I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fuckin' scared of him~!
[And singing along to the music. Loudly.]
[Man, the acoustics are great in here.]
II. Cool breeze
[So, interesting fun fact: up until this year, Daybreak Academy did not have an actual air conditioning system. Mostly due to the fact that the majority of the campus had been built multiple centuries ago.]
[And by "this year" we mean "literally the start of this month", because Jail is physically in the process of installing one.]
[For once she'd chosen to ask permission instead of forgiveness, and had received it for everywhere except the classrooms, library, and belltower.]
[Stupid historic building preservation codes.]
[Anywhere else, you may hear some quiet clanking and sotto voce profanity going on in a steady rhythm somewhere above your head. If so, you can look up to find Jail sitting on the ceiling and tinkering with a newly-installed air vent, defying the laws of both gravity and work safety.]
[On the bright side, if you hang around long enough, you could learn some really interesting new vocabulary.]
III. Summertime
[Wild card, offer your own prompt.]

[Muttered under her breath:]
An entire goddamn council of Seers and nobody thought maybe we should install AC before summer hit.
[Okay, admittedly, she's also a Seer and didn't think to do that, but in her defense she's not supposed to be the responsible type. The rest of these people want to actually be seen as professional adults.]
no subject
[The way she all but flops onto the biggest available space on her work table is maybe a touch overdramatic.]
I thought I was going to end up melting before the next school year started. Summer in NYC could get pretty miserable, but not this miserable...

[...Hopefully, this isn't one of the kids who signed up for that alligator mission. Otherwise that's going to be a bit ironic.]
no subject
I wouldn't know, I've never been. Is it really that miserable?
no subject
But yeah, the weather's fucking murder. ...Also, mosquitoes.
no subject
[Admittedly, Lia's pretty down for some of those simple pleasures. There's still a pause, before--]
I'm not sure they'd make the weather and the mosquitoes worth it though. [She snorts.]
