[OPEN]
Who: Ekkehardt and anyone who wants to yell at him for being stupid open
When: September 3rd onwards
Where: Around campus
What: Ekkehardt returns from his post-mission two week break and settles back into being a fixture of the school.
Warnings: Uh, cigarettes in one prompt? Otherwise, shouldn't be any.
A. the doctor is in
[ Ekkehardt can be found at his usual desk in the infirmary, going through all the work that's piled up in his absence. Early on in the month, if he's not busy at his computer or shuffling files, he's meticulously picking glitter and confetti off his uniform.
No matter who catches his attention, his initial greeting is always the same: ]
Hello. Is there something I can help you with?
B. musical aptitude
[ Ekkehardt doesn't seem to really have visible hobbies in the way other people do. He spends much of his time at the infirmary, involved in paperwork, or otherwise preoccupied with something or other - always on his way to something, or from something.
This month, however, is different. Anyone passing by Daybreak's non-denominational chapel on certain days might be able to catch the sound of an organ being played with some proficiency. (It's impossible to play quietly on an organ. He doesn't try.)
There are stops and starts, but as Ekkehardt warms to the instrument again, those become less frequent. He runs through his memorised repertoire at first, and then picks up the sheet music.
It's a nice accompaniment to the cooling weather, at least if you like the sound of hymns. And if you want to step inside to listen - or even request something - he doesn't seem to mind. ]
C. old, bad habits
[ Very rarely, you can catch Ekkehardt at much higher parts of the school. Usually on a rooftop, but sometimes on an unoccupied balcony. The reason he's chosen such high, out of the way spots becomes clear if he's watched for any length of time - he's smoking cigarettes. He doesn't go through them very quickly, but by his distant expression, he appears to have something on his mind. ]
D. wildcard
[ Anything you want! Hit me up! ]

I'm at your service. What kind of issue happens to be troubling you?
no subject
[ She picks out a chair and settles herself down, hands folded neatly in her lap. It feels far more awkward to hover there while they're talking and Violet's feeling awkward enough as it is. It helps a little that she knows he's not completely unfamiliar with her prosthetics, but still. ]
It's to do with my arms. [ There's a characteristic clink as her fingers curl in her lap. ] I can manage the day-to-day maintenance of them on my own, but I'm concerned about what might happen in a situation where they end up damaged or worse.
no subject
[ He hums, tapping his pen once, twice, in thought. ] Are you looking for a way to prevent such a thing from happening, perhaps?
[ Prevention is better than cure, at least in this case. ]
no subject
[ She gives him a little smile. ]
I thought it might save all of us a fair bit of time and worry if we could nip it in the bud before it becomes a problem. I imagine it's not possible to make them completely foolproof, but just knowing they've been reinforced, even a little... well, it'd be a very big weight off my shoulders.
no subject
He pauses, after a moment's thought. ] Are there any particular requests you'd like to make? Any sort of trouble your arms give you currently that need easing?
[ Metal prosthetics were always a tricky business, even with magic. Best to take care of such requests now, so she doesn't have to attend more than one extensive appointment. ]
