[spellbindmods]

Who: Coven members and the Palai
Where: Rebuilding the Aimintas marketplace.
When: Day 59
Open/Closed: Open to All
OOC Note: For Prompt A -- the egg claiming is closed to those who selected eggs from this thread! Anyone can use the prompt creatively, but please don't give your character an egg if they aren't listed in the above thread.

The initial setting information found here should be utilized for threads here.

There's no official OOC account for the Palai people. You're free to roleplay their actions and reactions on your own, as in depth as you want -- asking questions, hand-waved interactions, becoming best friends. The new world is your oyster!

Many efforts have been made to help rebuild Aimintas, which has become a little bit water-logged and bloodied after the confrontation a few days previously. The Palai are fully capable of rebuilding their own city on their own, but with coven members around and willing to help, hopefully the repairs that need to be done can be completed much more quickly. The marketplace is quite expansive, which is both good and bad when it comes to coven involvement. While the areas that need to be repaired are expansive, this creates the opportunity for most coven members to help rebuild in some way or another. With everyone taking responsibility for a task, the work can get done much more quickly. Aside from the repairs, many Palai are still in mourning. Because this incident happened during their mating season, many Palai are essentially shut out of reproduction or are going to potentially lay eggs a month from now without one of their previously supposed parents. The demeanor around the marketplace is glum for this reason, though the steadfast species is certainly not giving up. A ▢ Because some Palai families were killed in their entirety, the hatchery is being cleaned out. There is a big discussion in the marketplace with those responsible for taking care of eggs making sure they have the future Palai youth properly sorted. Those eggs that are orphaned have mostly been handed out to Palai family units, though there are some left over. Because the Palai trust the coven members as stronger and more capable to protect their eggs than they are right now, these eggs are being handed out to them instead of doubling up already child-bearing families. Are you willing to take an egg? B ▢ Half of the battle when it comes to rebuilding the marketplace will be the large quantities of standing water in certain stalls and enclosed spaces. Some of the Uvi's ocean masses burst or were used as a sort of liquid smoke grenade for defensive measures -- some water was absorbed into the dirt in outdoor eating areas, but a lot of it is stuck in businesses, suites and other rooms. The Palai have buckets, but they sure could use a hand getting this stuff out of here. C ▢ From slamming large sharks into the front of stone store fronts to stabbing down doors without barriers, the Uvi certainly did a number on Aimintas. Stone fixtures are certainly more difficult to repair, though the Palai have concocted a cement paste that they're using to help fill in seams. The biggest issue to deal with here is that water-logged and damaged wood needs to be hauled away or destroyed (safely!). At the same time, new wood needs to be installed to doors and stalls, and tables need to be rebuilt in order to return the majority of shops to well-working order. D ▢ Working hard isn't the only task at hand, either. There are Palai in restaurants and eateries that ARE mostly functional, hard at work preparing canteens and food sacks that need to be passed out to workers expending so much energy for their city. This also means the return of their energy drink (see TDM #2, Prompt E). This can cause hallucinations, power malfunctions and extreme giddiness and euphoria, for those who didn't experience this drink the last time it made the rounds. E ▢ Another "low-level" task focuses on keeping the younger Palai entertained and out from under the feet of those who are working hard to repair the city. The hatchery is being emptied for repairs, so one of the more untouched open-air areas of the marketplace is now a makeshift daycare. There are obviously Palai helping to attend to the children, but there are a lot of them -- some are more docile and easy to entertain, others scuttle out of the enclosure and try to help the coven with their chores. This may or may not go well...have you made a new little friend? F ▢ More detail-oriented coven members can help with the management side of things. These tasks can include restocking and carting a round food stuffs (produce, shrimp, other food goods), getting rid of damaged goods (some of these are only slightly damaged, so maybe you can get some discounted, barely working merchandise), and redecorating storefronts. This work is great for those who aren't as good at physical labor and still want to help. G ▢ Most of the Palai who were put up against the Uvi found themselves fatally wounded, though there were some lucky lizards out there. One of the other open-air areas of the marketplace is essentially a medic tent, which serves as both a makeshift hospital for coven members and Palai alike who are still nursing Uvi wounds, as well as a first aid station for any rebuilding-related injuries. Healers would definitely be appreciated! H ▢ Wildcard!

[Waver can't believe it took that much yelling for him to even come up with that suggestion. Well, never mind, it worked! Yelling, slight lying, and then being smart!

Either way, Waver does stick next to Emil while the doctor takes a peak under the wound, only to yell for a nurse to go and get what's needed. Waver sighs, shaking his head at everything that has unfolded.]

I guess yelling summons doctors.

[enflame]

I'll remember that next time I've been maimed if it gets things done.

( Sigh...guess you have to act like a brat to get your way; that's the lesson to be learned here. )

But now I have to deal with this and finding a healer. I don't think my doctor friend has any special abilities, and who knows where that pink-haired person is.

[teratias]

[WHAT A VERY GOOD LESSON!]

It works, doesn't it?

[At any rate, the Palai doctor rips the gauze off of Emil's arm, just in time for the nurse to arrive. Waver decides to keep his focus on Emil and only Emil, because hey, better for him, right?]

Look, I'll keep an eye out for Madoka in the next few days, but also find me if you get someone else to take care of this.

[enflame]

( On the other hand, Emil is squirming while he stares at what the Palai are doing, torn between not wanting to look at his flesh cut open and needing to make sure these lizards don't manhandle him. )

Fine, fine. I'm sure I can find someone with telepathy at the very least. If I have it why not u-- OW!

( The Palai nurse has applied an antibiotic salve while the doctor considers the wound, beginning to stitch it closed. Oh my god he can't look at that, his poor skin. )

This hurts worse than the damn cut does!

[teratias]

[Rather than reply mentally, Waver just responds out in the open to Emil.]

You're doing fine. Tell me a bad joke or something.

[enflame]

Joking is the last thing I want to do right now!

( The whole "distract yourself through the pain" is totally lost on him, instead trying his best to send his mind as far away from the sensation of the needle...without actually doing anything. )

How long is this supposed to take, anyway?

[teratias]

[Someone just missed the point.]

A few minutes, if that. Rushing it isn't a great idea.

[enflame]

( Welcome to Emil. He shuts his mouth, though, letting the doctor do his work. The Jeopardy theme metaphorically plays and the job is eventually done. )

Ugh...this looks gross. ( It's not the worst job in the world. The cuts about two inches long and could easily heal over but he's stitched up like some kind of pillow. ) If you're wrong somehow, I'll never forgive you for this.

[teratias]

[Waver just rolls his eyes, especially as the doctors walk away, chittering about the drama of it all.]

It'll be worth it, just stop looking at the damn thing.
