JOGGING.
Akechi really needs a proper set of atheletic wear... Granted, it's not really his biggest concern right now as he jogs along the sand paths. It's not as engaging as rock climbing or as refreshing as cycling, but he gets far too restless just sitting around during his spare time. And falling out of shape would be... what... unseemly? Disgraceful? Either way, exercise seems to be one of the few things that keeps him from wallowing in despair, and with an objective, it keeps his mind busy.

Indeed, as he walks around the outer-most routes, if one happens to be around, they may notice him actively scanning the area... and possibly getting frustrated as a result. Miserably, his hand comes up to touch at his hair, which shines a bit from grease. Perhaps the shower would be a luxury, but at least some proper toiletries would be nice? ... his hair is suffering... And it bothers him much more than he'd really like to admit...


KNITTING.
This is so much more difficult than any layperson would take for granted. In fact, Akechi had gotten so frustrated and discouraged at points that he'd sometimes given up. And yet, even as lethargic as he still is... there's something about this challenge that grates against him.

He won't let himself be beaten.

So maybe you're a knitter too, or maybe you've just happened to stumble upon the place where they're keeping their resources for this, in which case... you may see Akechi working very, very hard at getting better at knitting.

It's a point of pride, okay?

Perhaps he's so into it he doesn't even notice your presence, in which case, you probably shouldn't try sneaking up behind him... but, well, the option is available. Or maybe he's just finished a course and is examining his work. But for the love of god, do not rip out his course, accidental or otherwise... you have been Warned.

[He can in fact see it. Carpet pauses in response, tassels raising a bit to sign back up at him.]

Even though we haven't found the places you were looking for yet?

[lowkeycrazy]

[I think getting stunned by a blaster is more than enough.

Some flickers into his gaze then— surprise? Curiosity? He himself can barely conceive the idea of being punished "enough" for his crimes. Yet this man, Poe, was also responsible for the lives of so many ending early— but he could claim he'd already suffered sufficient punishment?

...granted, the way he talks about it...]

You claim the blaster is "more than enough", yet it seems you still can't fully decide whether or not it was the right choice. If you were truly in danger of having your fleet destroyed as a result of leaving them be, would there really have been a better option to take? I assume you weren't disobeying orders up until your decision to attack. Does part of the blame not rest on your superiors for sending you into a zone where you were likely to come across an opponent for which you were just barely equipped to handle?

[lowkeycrazy]

We won't be able to explore the entire city in a day, and the sun is starting to set.

We have plenty of time to do more exploring in the future.

[He gives Carpet a little patpat.]

[ Any start to a war is complicated. Poe knows that what he did could easily be held in a court or hearing. He could easily be told to leave. Deep down that would only hurt him further. He knows what he had done wrong and the only thing he can do is wait until gets back home. Poe ended up here after being stunned blasted. The Resistance could already be on transport ships that are basically defenseless. His friends were caught by the First Order on a mission he believed they could handle and succeed at. ]

It's the choice that I made. At the time we didn't know what they were capable of. The option was to take the command and get our fleet back to the main cruiser and flee. We were on the run no matter what after that. It was my idea to face on their fleet as a direction so we could get away. Then I decided we should finish. The general didn't really like my idea but let me go with it. I'm not sure who else would have gone out to face them if I hadn't. War is tricky. We've been trying to avoid it for a while. Resisting it. I've certainly learned that I'm inexperienced and everything I know otherwise is second knowledge.

If I'm to be court-martialed in anyway I won't run. It's just how that goes.

I guess it will get pretty dark soon.

[A little disappointing, but a sensible choice. Carpet soars upwards once more, though at a more sedate pace this time; in an unfamiliar part of the city like this, he relies on getting a bird's eye view to regain his bearings and know which direction to head.

It's kind of like getting lost while taking a stroll because you drive everywhere, isn't it? Even if the streets aren't familiar, the roofs almost always are. There are the edges of the sand paths there, and farther in that direction is the square and fountain, which means the houses are..... this way!]

[lowkeycrazy]

Well, if anything, people can't claim that you're a coward.

[Unlike... some people. h e h.]

And still no luck on finding anything. I suppose our only option is to expand.

[lowkeycrazy]

[The view is even more enchanting at sunset. Even romantic. Despite not having found what he wanted... Akechi feels refreshed from this ride.]

Thank you, Carpet.

[gotyourselfapilot]

It's definitely not anything anyone lists off when they talk about me. [ Including to his face. ]

If you want to continue forward, I don't mind. Otherwise we can start heading back or go our separate ways.

[lowkeycrazy]

I think that's enough for now. It was nice talking to you. I wouldn't mind talking again sometime.

[preferably about space]

[gotyourselfapilot]

It was nice talking to you too. I'm sure there will come a time for it.

[ He gives a nod to Akechi before going off on his own way. ]

[lowkeycrazy]

Until next time.

[A person who grew up within a colonized galaxy... this world truly was something else. Granted, that's if he was telling the truth...

Heh, he's still so skeptical, even now.]
