[ 001 - HANGER BAY ]

Jyn knows something familiar from home is in that hanger bay and it drives her insane that she can't reach it. Which is probably what draws her back to the door morning after morning, checking to see if the doors will open.

They do not. She kicks them. They still do not open.

Something something put your freakin' dog tags on and get over it, Erso later and she gets inside to peer at the other ships, but mainly it's to throw herself on Cassian's U-Wing and just sit there. It's a study of pointlessness since she can't go anywhere on it, but it's from home and that's all that really matters.

[ 002 - TRAINING FACILITIES ]

Her trips to the training facilities garner better results, at least if you consider siphoning off excess energy through a violent explosion of fists and feet to be something better. The training dummies fare better than, say, a person would, but it's honestly hard to tell if Jyn would pull her punches with a person. She works herself until her limbs are shaking and her muscles are strained to breaking point and then simply moves on to the next apparatus.

The circuit she makes quickly becomes her standard, even when she ventures into the gym late into the night. Boxing, running, climbing, running again.

She's hooked into the climbing wall when her fingers slip and she goes flying down before the auto belay catches her and jerks her to a stop with a hastily aborted shriek of surprise. She kicks the wall. It does nothing.

"Damn it!" She jerks on the belay to lower herself down but finds herself... stuck. Which is just great. She jerks at it again. Jerks at it gently like maybe if she is nice it will give in to her. Guess what? It doesn't. Stuck and only half unwilling to wrangle herself out of the harness to climb down freely, Jyn glances around for someone else to press the button from the bottom. She tips all the way back until she's basically upside down and calls out, "Hey! Could you give me a hand?"

[ 003 - SHOPPING CENTRE ]

Maybe, maybe, if her assigned job wasn't as an exterminator, Jyn would actually work. She has no particular distaste for bugs and parasites, but she also doesn't have any real need to work with them on a daily basis. Not being incredibly social doesn't mean she wants her companions to be bugs.

Still, she works at least one single, solitary shift for the extra credits only so she can paw around the shopping center without dragging Cassian away from his own job. His own much less generally offensive job. Meandering around a market is not something she ever had time for, usually striking with precision and retreating. Now she wanders, unsure of how to find what she's looking for.

The confusion doesn't look comfortable on her expression, eyebrows knitting together in annoyance.

"I guess that's...a good point." It is true that none of them asked for this. If there isn't a way to switch jobs, he isn't sure if he'll be able to force himself to go to one that he's so uncomfortable with.

Apparently, he's also thinking along the same lines as she is. "What're you going to do if you don't have a job to fill up part of your day?"

[realists]

"This." She gestures around the gym set up. She hasn't gotten bored from hitting things since she was six, it doesn't seem like a foregone conclusion that she will now. It's more likely that she'll go absolutely stir crazy in the span of a couple weeks being cooped up on this ship with nowhere to go, but. Semantics.

[yokunaru]

Spending most of the day in the gym? That, at least, is something he's familiar with. "Not a bad idea. It looks like they have just about everything in here."

Except an ice rink, but Viktor's apparently already got that covered. "Oh, I almost forgot, that's what I came here to do. Looking around at the facilities, I mean." He offers Jyn a small smile. "I should probably get back to that. Um, I'll get back to you on the language lessons? We can figure out a time to start."

[realists]

"Yeah, sure."

Jyn is the last person to stop someone from ending a conversation, that's for damn sure. She steps back, as if offering him the all clear to go about her business unhindered.

[yokunaru]

It's a trait that he definitely appreciates. "See you around, Jyn!"

Shooting her a grateful smile, Yuuri lifts his hand and waves before he trots off to examine the private rooms in the back.
