[open to multiple] Stepping back into the world
It's been three weeks since Seth escaped from the rebels, and about two weeks since he moved in with Gabe - though he doesn't stay there every night, and hasn't really moved that much in. He got another apartment as well, once he managed to scrounge together some more money through not particularly legal ways. Some nights he doesn't want to be around people (or dogs), and some nights he doesn't want to be alone, so he ends up going back and forth, which also helps in not making him feel like he's inconveniencing Gabe. It's been working pretty well so far, and Gabe is amusing company.
Besides that, he's been busy taking steps to protect himself by tracking down powers he wants. Of course, a large part of the difficulty is that he mainly wants defensive powers to do with hiding or escaping, and people with those powers are pretty hard to get hold of. Another is he either needs resources to buy the power off of them, or enough justification to simply take the power from them. He had felt absolutely no remorse for taking back accelerated healing from a particularly vicious rebel member he had given it to some months prior, but in most cases people with these powers aren't evil or using their powers for anything particularly morally objectionable.
In between that, he's been simply trying to readjust to society. It's mostly to that end he's sitting at a table in Wilmot's End tonight, having a quiet drink.
Of course, he could do that in any bar, but this one has the advantage of letting him scout for interesting powers at the same time, and he knows that their patrons' safety is the most strongly enforced rule here, and you don't really want to make an enemy out of the owner, so he feels relatively safe here.
So if anyone wants to say hello, he'll be fairly friendly.
