[spellbindmods]

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!

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. A ▢ As a birthday tradition, the Palai give the birthday lizard a special concoction. It contains Elto energy and a combination of found herbs that can easily be located in Aimintas. When these herbs are combined with the Elto energy, they create a sort of...hallucinogenic experience. It's supposed to feel extremely relaxing and give the Palai pleasant visions, but in human bodies it's essentially just getting high. There are vials of these being passed around like candy, so don't worry about anyone running out. 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!

Medical school. Where else?

[ he attempts to match her expression, but it... doesn't quite work on him. not when he's this far gone.

[hydrostorm]

All right. Put that brain to use and diagnosis yourself.

[ because although she doesn't really know him at all, this is just weird. ]

[talim]

Uhh...

[ his brain is sort of out of commission right now. ]

There was definitely something in whatever the heck I just consumed.

[ a pause. ]

Oh, well. Letting loose once in awhile isn't so bad. Is there any more around? Because I think I could use some more. That sounds good. Yeah.

[hydrostorm]

Oho? Be my guest.

[ consume as much as you want!! she's smirking and she's just going to... kind of... flick his forehead. ]

Just don't pass out, Doc. That'd be hard to explain to the innocent children.

[talim]

[ his response to that forehead flick... jude just giggles yet again. ]

— Oh no.

[ his expression is quick to change. that's right. the innocent children....... alvin and/or elle is keeping an eye on the palai, right? right. everything's good. ]

Pass it over here?

[hydrostorm]

[ right??? no. ]

As I said, be my guest.

[ she's going to pass him the infamous substance and just try not to smirk too widely. ]

And here I was thinking you were a stiff!

i can't believe i came up with this pun

[talim]

Hey, what's that supposed to mean?

[ jude crosses his arms and downright pouts at her before he tips his head back and downs the mysterious concoction in one gulp.

everything is spinning.

if jude wasn't invading magilou's personal space before, well, he is now. he slumps against her with a pleased sigh, hair tickling her cheek. ]

Feels good...

[ he passes another vial back to her. ]

You should try this stuff. It'll make you... it'll make you... witchier.

[ he doesn't know, he's just trying to sell her on it. good job jude problemathis, you're being an enabler. that's alvin's job. ]

i'm v impressed

[hydrostorm]

[ good god this kid. well, he's a bit too old to be a kid, and teenagers were never her speciality, but at least this guy is amusing.

she just wishes he'd stop. clinging to her. jesus. ]

My, my you're certainly a charmer, Doctor. But I'll pass. After all, I have this amazing figure to maintain.

[ get the vial. out of her face. she'll lightly nudge at it with two fingers. for you, jude. for you. ]

i try

[talim]

[ something about being called a charmer (sarcastically, but details) makes him laugh. jude accepts it back, but fortunately for both of them, he passes on it for now and hands it over to the next person in this odd bunch. ]

Does this really have calories in it?

[ he squints. ]

I should have read the nutrition label.

[ there is no nutrition label. ]

[hydrostorm]

It'll go straight to your hips. Or worse, your abs. The horror!

[ she's quite thankful that the stupid vial is far away from her once more.

but now that he's (sort of?) distracted, she'll take that opportunity to invade his space and sling her arm around his shoulders. ]

So, kiddo. Wanna spill all your secrets?

[talim]

[ ?!?!?!?!?! ]

What secrets are you expecting me to spill?

1/2

[hydrostorm]

[ she leans in suuuuuuuuuper close to his face

-- ]

[hydrostorm]

All of them.

[talim]

[ hmm....... ]

How about this?

[ this might be a fun game. magilou seems like she likes games. ]

A secret for a secret.

[hydrostorm]

[ ... okay this sounds fun. ]

Oh, why not? What's the harm? You first, kiddo.

[talim]

[ jude hums... he doesn't have many really interesting secrets, does he? ]

My best friend is the reason I'm petrified of bugs.

[hydrostorm]

The creepy crawlies, huh? Does anyone like them?

[ ... besides that kid. anyway, moving on - ]

What'd your friend do? Shove them down the back of your shirt?

[talim]

... Chase me around with a stick.

[ he's 100% serious. ]

Your turn.

[hydrostorm]

[ are you serious...... ]

My best friend in the whole wide world won't give me a nickname because she has no heart.

[ ........ oh okay????? that sounds really fake - ]

[talim]

That's... um.

[ that sounds a little extreme? but sure. ]

Well, what is your best friend like?

[hydrostorm]

Mysterious. Callous. Lacking a sense of fashion.

[ uhm???? ]

She also eats people with her arm.

[talim]

[ without missing a beat: ]

I think you might have taken more of this stuff than I have.

[hydrostorm]

I'm being completely serious.

And besides, I don't eat or drink things I don't know about.

[ CROSSING HER ARMS. ]

[talim]

Are you ever completely serious... ?

[hydrostorm]

Right now.

[ she's narrowing her eyes. ]

Don't blame me when you meet her and she tries to bite off your head!
