[WORLD ONE | DING DONG THE FISH IS DEAD]
Who: Coven members and the Palai
Where: Celebrating the Uvi going boom-boom
When: Day 67
Open/Closed: Open to All
OOC Note:
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!
Where: Celebrating the Uvi going boom-boom
When: Day 67
Open/Closed: Open to All
OOC Note:
For decades, the Palai have had to deal with the threat of the Uvi invading their homes, killing their families and returning 30 days later. After the coven found their way to Aimintas, the Palai found that the threat wasn't so...threatening. After the last attack, with many more Palai lost as compared to previous Uvi instances, some Palai had lost hope. Now, after seeing their nemesis blown to bits and falling out of the ocean, their faith in safety is restored. While the Uvi are still committed (by and large) to learning more about barriers and other forms of safety, the time for focusing on serious things has passed. It will return, but tonight? They celebrate. Unlike their last, shrimpy festival, this party has a lot more going for it. The Palai have had time to process the events and prepare themselves for a grand celebration. The Palai know how to party, but you ain't seen nothin' like this.
B ▢ Despite the adults getting lit, there are obviously a lot of baby Palai on the lose. Responsible coven members who have their own babies will have the ability to let them run wild and play with their lizardy cousins. If you want to spend time with your baby, the nursery caretakers have platters of crackers with mushy foods adorning them -- these are essentially candy to a tiny Palai. They may also be tempted by other foods present at the festivities, but you can avoid them getting a tummy ache if you have a watchful eye. C ▢ Speaking of food, there certainly is a lot of it. There are large grills being heated by the newly found bone structures. These hold shrimp and fish, grilled vegetable skewers and other foods. Instead of the Palai doing the serving, the coven members and other Palai are instead encouraged to utilize their own raw ingredients (which includes several large sharks, dolphins, etc.) in whatever fashion they choose. It's essentially a "build-your-own-kabob" station with no limits. D ▢ Because the party is lasting on into the night, some Elto have decided to light the marketplace with some of the bone structures they found by powering them and inserting them into small cloth bags that they then magically levitate around. While they provide a powerful light source that can increase the party's longevity, they're also floating live wires. Bump into one of these and you'll get a nasty shock! This is doubly concerning since Palai babies are fascinated by following these floating "toys." E ▢ The Palai, feeling more familial and supportive of their ideals than ever, haven't let go of the whole family/romance pushing on the coven. Their newest attempt is a bit of a prank (probably due to high Palais) who have taken magic bone structures and tied thick strings to the spines that poke out of them. At the end of these strings are loops that they're quickly slipping around the wrists of coven members they find. You may find that you're suddenly magically connected to someone -- or two other people if you're lucky enough -- by a magical thread that's VERY hard to slip out of or break. F ▢ Wildcard Part 1: Other previous party prompts can also be considered here, from the rolls that make magic go haywire to the aged liquor that causes a bit more than a headache. G ▢ Wildcard Part 2: Any prompt you like! |

She was seven feet tall and had horns, as well as a face that was best suited to glowering, especially with how conflicted her thoughts were right now, so she definitely looked more intimidating than comforting as she loomed over the girl.
"You should be more careful."

At least this lady didn't seem too roughed up for her good deed. He kneeled down next to her, giving her a few pokes with a gloved fingertip.]
Need some help gettin' back up, or are you just takin' the opportunity for a nap while you've got one?
d is for man d-d-d-d-down
[If he sounds a bit out of breath, it's because Lenka is also flat on his back not too far away, being casually bounced on by a curious and confused tiny lizardlet who had been using him as a jungle gym. Incidentally, he had been trying to navigate his way to the edge of the festivities where hopefully there would be less hyperactive lizardlets.
Let's rewind a bit, because he's also a victim of circumstance here:
1. Spotted Yukari and the small entourage of high-velocity reptiles orbiting around her
2. Judiciously decided to avoid combining his couple of high-velocity baby reptiles with hers
3. In attempting to avoid the Yukari Daycare, spotted her and one of her charges headed directly for a cluster of bone decorations(?!) and attempted to shout a warning
4. Forgot to watch where he was going in the meantime, and walked smack into both a glowing bone and the side of a stall at the same time
5. Should he pretend nothing happened, and he's lying here on purpose??]
... You should all be more careful. And warn people.
[That one is to the Palai children, a bit reproachfully -- especially the one on top of him; it giggles and thumps him a little in the ribs with its tail, so clearly he wasn't reproachful enough.]

In truth, Waver wasn't sure about the turn of events. Sure, the Uvi were gone, but there were a lot of unanswered questions remaining as far as he was concerned. Where did the Uvi originally come from? Sure, the Palai had figured out some very good use for the structures, but could that be trouble down the road? What would become of their dead with this kind of power?
Most importantly: were there other groups of Uvi out there?
All of these were questions that gnawed on Waver's mind as he made his way through the festival. The Palai had outdid themselves, but the one thing Waver was intent on (in no small part because who knew what the food situation on the hub would be) was eating his fill. The kabob station in particular had his attention, and Waver was soon walking away with an ungodly pile of shrimp paired with an equally alarming pile of fish next to each other with no care for say, anything like vegetable on there.
"Hm," he said to himself, looking around for a table. This wasn't the kind of plate one could eat on the go. Everything would just fall off.
E is for Entwined!
He probably overdid it on the protein, in retrospect. Waver was moving around the festival slower than before, having overeaten and then some. He was not proud of himself, and he was not proud of the fact his capabilities seemed duller.
No small surprise that Waver did not feel a loop slip around his wrist. When he did, Waver's first reaction was to flail wildly, and his second was to yank on the string, hard, furious.
"What the hell is this?!" he demanded, like the string was going to give him an explanation. "Come on, we just had a big fight don't tell me this is some weird Uvi sneak attack!"

[9S doesn't think much of it when he's offered what he assumes to be some kind of beverage. The taste is strange, but he finds nothing particularly remarkable about it. That is until he starts hearing static and his vision becomes unsteady, flickering when he moves his head even a little, and then he's pretty sure he's made a mistake.
It reminds him of the E-drug Jackass concocted, the way the world becomes unsteady around him and his sensory inputs fail to work properly. But where those effects were relatively brief, he doesn't know how long this is going to last. And the more it lingers, the more alarming he finds it.
He thinks perhaps he should hunker down somewhere quiet until it passes. Peeling off his goggles he tries to get away from the crowd, but in an effort to make this strategic withdrawal, he bumps into tables and partygoers alike. Life's tough when one's vision is a mess of static crackling and broken frames]
All A[B]out Crackers
[For the first time since his little Palai child emerged from its egg, 9S is seeing some pretty willful behavior. Where he's lucked out in getting a little Elto with a mild disposition, that all seems to change when certain crackers become involved. At first he can only marvel at the intrepid efforts the little creature makes in trying to get to these treats before he gets the hint and collects one for it.
The cracker's gone the instant it's within reach, and he observes curiously as tiny hands shoot right back up, grasping at the air for more]
Guess you really like these, huh?
[Seeing no harm in it, he offers the little Palai another. And then another. This process might continue indefinitely, for all that he has no idea how much the kid's supposed to eat. He knows what they can and can't consume, but not the quantities they ought to consume...]
[D]ouble Trouble
[The evening's been eventful to say the least, but 9S' adventures in parenting continue on. He's finding out quickly just how much work it actually is, especially when his little Elto child is chasing after every impromptu lantern that drifts into view. He's more than sufficiently quick enough to keep up, but on one occasion he bumps right into a lantern in his haste.
The jolt makes his vision crackle and dance in an unpleasant reminder of an earlier point in the evening, and he hisses between clenched teeth. This, it seems, is enough for his little companion to stop and look up at him with concern, a tiny hand reaching to touch him in a comforting manner—
Only to zap him a second time. There's no winning]
H[E]lping Hands
[After finding that the Palai were quite adamant about pairing them off, 9S has done his best to discourage any further efforts to couple him with others. This holds especially true of the human members of the coven, for all that his programmed sense of inferiority rails against the notion. And he thinks, erroneously, that he's finally gotten through to them.
That is, until he finds himself bound to a fellow coven-member with magical handcuffs. His first instinct is to attempt to tug himself free. Even with strength inferior to a Battler model, is sufficient to drag the poor soul bound to him along for the ride, and possibly knock them right into him]
Er, sorry, I just— what are these made of, anyway?
[If he sounds a bit offended, like he's just found sand in his boots, it's because he is. How many times does he have to tell the locals how very inappropriate this is?]
[W]ildcard
[Have other ideas? Hit me up!]
e
[ an exasperated sigh. possibly a little overdramatic, but jude isn't exactly thrilled at the moment. ]
Seriously, I thought they were over it by now.
[ he hesitates. ]
... But look on the bright side? I think there are worse people I could be bound to.

[ ... he's usually pretty good about avoiding anything that could inhibit him. anything that could alter his perceptions. but the palai are sneaky and not everything is as easy to detect as it is back home. so here he is, sitting on the grass at the edge of the party, palms pressed to the ground, staring up at the "sky" in absolute wonder. ]
...Do you ever wonder why it's so big?
[ yes, the crime boy is in fact the palai equivalent of high as a kite. ]

[ well, this is new to him. although the effects of herbs haven't completely worn off, he's a lot more lucid. coherent thoughts are actually a thing now. unfortunately, in his stupor, he allowed himself to be tied to you, unsuspecting person! now, he's staring at the strings and tight loop around his wrist. this looks painful. why is this happening? ]

For that reason he hasn't tried anything for himself, too concerned with the potential risks to his health when there aren't any replacement bodies to be had. He's had plenty of deaths under his belt at this point, he can do without another.

[There's all sorts of small children, granted most of them scaly, running around the festivities, so what's to notice about one more? Well for one thing, Cagliostro has made another earthen throne by one of the grills, taking a seat in it like she owns the place. A snap of her fingers and a spike of earth shoots up over the heat source, one of the large sharks impaled on it. And in the shocked silence after that display, its easy to hear the pop as she uncorks one of the drinks going around and starts chugging it down, a supremely satisfied look on her face as she settles back in her seat.]
Ahhh... maybe an otherworld vacation isn't so bad every now and then.

E - Not Really a Red Ribbon

( Emil is certainly trying his hardest to be a responsible lizard father, but his little one is making this so hard. At first they were crawling around happily, but soon his tiny Elto started to crawl up the leg of his pants, claws clacking to be held. Okay -- what baby wants, baby gets.
b: For a softer moment, his tiny Elto is greedily making grabby hands at whatever food they can spot, first going for those tempting crackers, but also at more adult-sized options. If you have some food in your hand, they're certainly trying to reach for it. If they get a hold of your hand, you may even get a shock. Emil, control your child.
d: For more electric fun, the Palai's newest fascination are the floating cloth bags wafting through the air. It's not long before they grab one. Emil at first isn't exactly worried about it, but they quickly begin to take extreme glee in how they can make his hair stand on end if they put the bag juuust close enough. Don't tell him, he'll lose it )
a;
( i'm going for it a little bit.
As compared to drunk Emil, high Emil is a lot more sluggish. He has the same open-hearted quality to him, but he suddenly feels more tired and clingy than loud and bombastic. He only indulged because his tiny lizard was preoccupied shocking other Palai youth and he was assured the concoction would calm his frayed dad nerves. This is definitely more than he bargained for.
Emil's also going through something of a physical contact withdrawal, which may explain why he sluggishly slumps against you with no concern for your personal space. )
The air...it's sticky, isn't it? Like I can chew it...almost. ( Trying to chew the air may have actually happened. Getting air in and out of his lungs.....oh my god why is this so hard all of a sudden, help him can he even BREATHE. )
A
if camilla wasn't sure this poor thing was going to literally die from this poor guy tripping balls, she would have gently eased him down and gone back to the children. alas, between her maternal instincts and the fact his weight isn't exactly unpleasant, camilla humors him for now. besides, it's...kind of cute... it makes her wonder how leo would react if he'd just light it up for once. ]
That's the humidity, you silly thing. Be careful, lest you choke on it. Chew it thoroughly.

[It's probably karmic retribution that Al's egg hatches into one of the most aggressive young Palai of the bunch. Beware if you're trying to eat or drink--a tiny lizard baby might dive bomb your ankles to try and steal your food. Sheepishly, Al clanks up behind him.]
Sorry! I can't get him to listen to anything I say.
[This is why no one lets you have cats, Al.]
e.)
[The kids are running wild and most of the adults are wasted. It's not, to put it lightly, Al's kind of scene. He's just about to duck out for the night, when a couple of Palai decide to help by literally anchoring him to someone else.]
Hang on. I can get out of this.
[Except the strings are magically powered too, making phasing trickier than he expected. He tugs at his hand to no avail.]
Just... give me a second!
g.)
[Raise your hand if you want to be a killjoy and skip out on the party to mess with Elto bones all night! That's what Al's going to do, once he's escaped and the baby's finally fallen asleep. He can be found not far from the coven house, turning one of said bones over in his hands and looking entirely too serious about everything.]
g
It is why, when Dirk spots a fellow wet blanket possibly about to engage in stupid science, he actually relaxes.]
Any luck?

Oh, hello Eva. ( He finally finds him at the bar, though he isn't looking to get liquored up himself. For now he's more fixated on what's going on on Eva's face than Lisko trying to swipe at an owl in the air. ) You've got a little...?

so, whether you're an unlucky passerby or a parent with a hatchling of their own, or even just another helper-- if you get just a little too close to auntie camilla for the little guy's liking, a small palai will give you a shove, smack your butt, or give you a nice, direct notice. 'she's my camilla, get your own!'
camilla just laughs at your misfortune. ]
What's this? Were you planning to steal me away?
( C )
That's far too much meat. Why don't you add a few more vegetables, too? The vitamins are good for you, no matter what your age.
( G )

Camilla's laugh in the background is a surprise. So's the smack.]
What the...? [He looks down, then blinks.] Jeez, someone's being overprotective.

[the biggest downside to having manners and attempting to always be polite is that refusing offered goods can't happen. needless to say, flynn couldn't say no upon being offered a vile. or two. or possibly 3.
what this leads to is a very relaxed and very happy and very high flynn. his body sways lightly as he leans against a table. the ground got so unsteady that table ended up the only thing keeping him from falling over. an earthquake? who knows! everything is great, even the earthquake. the lazy smile on his face and half-lidded gaze only emphasize his level of relaxation. he lifts up a hand and studies it far too intently.]
Have you have noticed how hands are just forks but on your arms?
[what an insightful thought! whatever these herbs are, they really allow for meaningful epiphanies. he'll have to take one or two and save them for another time.]
d.
[a good way to snap flynn out of his waxing philosophical thought is witnessing people in danger. babies drawn to dangerous floating orbs does the job well enough. lack of balance be damned, he can't let innocent children potentially harm themselves! several babies avoided shocks thanks to his effort.
another baby drawn to those pesky orbs catches his eye. he darts on over as fast as he can, which isn't the brightest idea considering his current inability to walk properly let alone attempt to run. even so!! the faster the better for the child's sake!]
Please stop! That's dangerous!
[just as flynn moves to pick up the baby, the baby spots something more interesting toward the left and unexpectedly changes directions. the suddenness of that coupled with the lingering effects of the herbs and his speed mean three things happen: first, flynn's eyes follow the child while forgetting to look ahead, then, he loses his footing while attempting to change direction himself and finally, he falls right into whoever's in front of him. whoops?]
e.
[what is it with the palai and trying to set people up! it's cultural, yes, but why keep dragging him into these awkward situations? attempting to break the string proves futile. figures. flynn tugs on the string one final time before letting out an exasperated sigh. he'll give whoever's unfortunate enough to be stuck with him a small smile.]
You wouldn't happen to know how to escape this, would you?
[short of cutting off his own arm, he's willing to try anything.]
a
[This guy seemed so chill the other day what happened--well, he's still obviously chill, but this isn't the type of chill Souda is looking for. He's been unfortunately unable to hide out in the house away from the celebration as even pink mechanics must eat and the minute he was outside Palai were all about hustling him along to their newest celebration.
Now here he is. He's not imbibing anything in a vial given to him, that's too suspicious so he's just pop-eyed at everything... going on...
Including Flynn.]
I mean, I guess, but? [???] Are you okay...

[Taking an egg was stressful enough, but now that it's hatched and already active, he's dying. Jake looks haggard as he chases a tiny lizard who is trying to put food they shouldn't have into their mouth.]
You're too young for that I think! [He doesn't even know for sure but he's very afraid of something happening.] Please put it down!
[The Palai child seems to think their father-person is playing a game with them, though, so whoops.]
[E for Entangled]
[The good news is that he found people happy to take the baby off his hands. The bad news is that his hands are now occupied with that odd loop. He doesn't seem to realise it's connected to someone, only that he's now shackled.]
Do you have something sharp...?
[He's asking without looking up from his efforts to pull it off, not knowing he is probably connected to you.]
E
[That deep, smooth and somber voice should sound familiar. The same loop is tight around Jumin's wrist, visible only because of the glass of wine he holds close to his chest.]
Good evening, Jake. Have you eaten?

[It isn't really her intention to get the effects from the vial. She actually tried to decline. It was kind declining at first, and then it was offered again with a promise that it was just something that would help lighten the mood.
The initial effect is just warm. She's warm, happy, and maybe looking for someone to stand with.]
Do you mind if I rest here for a moment? I feel a little dizzy.
[Here meaning, on your shoulder.... and she didn't give much more of a warning.]

[Are you the lucky number two to be tied to Haru?! If so she's going to turn to you immediately and start apologizing.]

This was a celebration of victory, but it wasn't one she had taken any part of. It didn't feel RIGHT to be involved with this festival.
Which is why Jodariel was standing at the edge of the crowd, staring over the sea of diminutive palai enjoying themselves and looking surly. She wasn't angry, she just didn't feel like she had any place among any of the dancing people.
She glanced down as you wandered over.
"Do not worry about me. Go enjoy yourself."

She pauses for a moment. "So why don't you want to celebrate?"

[ An Elto baby is an effective deterrent when it comes to the generous Palai carrying the vials, and Hibiki's quite thankful for that. He's a parent now, he must be twice as responsible, even if he barely has any idea what is he doing.
Why didn't the egg come with an instruction, honestly?
The nursery caretakers might have some answers to his questions, though, which is a relief. It seems that he's going to spend a while here, given the fact that he approaches with a few sheets of paper full of various questions considering the Elto babies...
In the fervor of asking questions, he might not have noticed his baby lizard scurrying off to play with their cousins. ]
Ah? Where are they? Don't tell me I've lost the baby already...?!
[ There's no point in questioning the caretaker any further for now, even though there are still 61 questions left. ]
( D )
[ After losing and finding the lizard baby, Hibiki doesn't really need any more thrills tonight. Too bad that the tiny Elto has a different opinion on that. Unaware of the danger at first, Hibiki allows them to climb up all the way to the top of his head...when he realizes what this is about.
Something's floating above him...a bone, no less. He scoops the baby with both of his hands and starts scolding them, wagging his finger.
It must look really delicious for some reason because...the lizard bites on it. Well, maybe they just don't agree with Hibiki's parenting methods. ]
This isn't how you thank someone for saving your life.
[ He's mildly annoyed. What an unruly baby. ]
( E )
[ When the baby is finally asleep in his pocket (it's way past bedtime, too), Hibiki can finally relax.
Or so he thinks. It might be a bit difficult to rest when you're the victim of a Palai's prank. It's too late to do something about the loops that connected him with another person, though. ]
Their sense of humor is truly exceptional.
[ In a bad way, that is, which is written all over his face. ]
B
ah.
percival follows, only to then stumble into another...unfortunate, makeshift caretaker. ]
Clearly. Their characteristics: name them, and do a sweep of the perimeter.
