[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!

[cadventuretime]

A -- A Slip

[Her biology is tailored to handle stimulants pretty well. The palai drink made her feel like she had a pulse again, but the hallucinations? Yeah, no. So while she ordinarily would like to drink the palai juice she has been uncharacteristically been keeping away form it.]

[But there was something about the moment, the energy? The excitement? The festiveness? Either of those, and the zombie girl decides to partake, and boooy will she be regretting it later.]

[FOR NOW THOUGH.]

Hey...... can I touch your face?

[THEY HAVE TWO SECONDS.]

E - Not Really a Red Ribbon

p[One of the consequences of being a little tipsy is she's much more open to doing things that she normally would. So when a random Palai decides to do some loopy romantic thing? She's all for it. Though to be fair it wouldn't take much prodding to get her to do this anyway.]

[So here's a slightly soused zombie latching onto you right now and looking quite pleased.]

Hey...... you're pretty.

e.

[akumas]

And you're a living corpse.

[Hope Rottytops doesn't mind latching to a small man who is just... staring at her with the clinging. Even if they seem to have a string of fate connected to them.]

Release me.

[cadventuretime]

[Even were she not tipsy, she wouldn't really be bothered by that kind of bluntness. Instead, she just giggles and leans in close to the small man.]

Hey. Hey. Hey.

I've been trying to let you go. You're the one that's holding on to me

Do you liiiiiiike meeeee?

[akumas]

No, you are the one that is clinging onto me!

[w h y.]

I don't even know you!

[cadventuretime]

[She lifts her hands (and probably drags his along with) to his face and shows him.]

I'm doing nothing, see? You can walk away if you want. But I think you want to be here.

Are you sure you don't want to know me more, sweetcake? Or maybe you're faking hard to get? Hmmmm?

[Rotty, do you even know what you're saying?]

[akumas]

[And out sheer embarrassment, he tugs backwards away from Rotty even if it pulls her with him.]

I'm not interested in courting, but I will listen in your life story if you wish to share.

[just keep it cool, eva. just keep it cool. don't run for the hills yet.]

( a )

[enflame]

( Oh my god he thought he was done with you...........it's not that he doesn't recognize her, but Emil has to scan her a few times to make sure that all of her parts together AND to re-examine her skin tone.....oi. )

No...? What do you want to do that for...?

( HE'S SUSPICIOUS, DON'T YOU ZOMBIFY HIM WENCH )

[cadventuretime]

[Oh hey she remembers you. Kind of. It's really kind of a blur as she's trying to understand the waving colors of Emil's face, and noticing how its kind of... wavy.]

[And yet he still manages to have a sort of aesthetic appeal. The firm jawline. Those icy blue eyes. The prominent nose. Oh wow that nose. You could probably hide a giga dragon up that nose...]

[So her thoughts were "Dear sir, I do believe that your nose is of such considerable magnitude that it may in fact be a sufficient hiding spot for one of my legendary beasts. I would like to inspect this possibility in order to determine the full abilities of your appendage's storage capacity."]

[Instead she just giggles and you get:] Because your nose is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-*BREATH*-UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE.

[Nailed it.]

[enflame]

( .........................what the fuck, thank God he's not high yet. )

What did you just say to me? ( He says this with an angrily offended tone but Emil is also quickly covering his nose in a panic because is he secretly DEFORMED holy shit. )

[cadventuretime]

[Its a good thing she doesn't know that, because she'd be going on and on over how the Palai herbs are greeeeeeeeat.]

[That being said, she just sort of... giggles again and maybe even cups her hands in preparation for docking with Emil's nose.]

Your nose is than the schnozes of the Rhinosaurus people of Big Nose Island. And theirs is mostly horn. So, c'mon. Let me touch it? Just for a second?

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-*breath*-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?

[enflame]

( Wow Rotty, you're really bad at trying to get what you want. Emil now has both hands on his nose. He has a vague image of a rhinoceros (which is what he assumes she means, although he's actually thinking of an elephant but you can't win 'em all), so he truly knows just how insulting she's being right now. )

You can't touch my nose or any other part of me! Ever! And for your information, it's perfectly preportionate!

a.

[thatdamnknight]

[lucky for her, the one whose face she wants to grab has also had a few viles already. none of flynn's usual pearl clutching comes at the request. instead, all he does is tilt his head curiously.]

Can you really touch it?

[somehow the idea that someone can touch his face seems so amazing! not in the way that everything feels amazing right now, but EXTRA amazing.]

[cadventuretime]

[After a few seconds of staring at her fingers to make sure they are hers (and only coming to the conclusion that maybe only one hand is?) she has change to the topic of whether she could reach him.]

[Unfortunately as soon as her focus goes to that she starts to believe her hands are becoming shorter. With her eyes squinting in concentration, she takes a deep breath, reaches out...]

[And gives Flynn what can only be described as a full-bodied palm strike to the chin]

[thatdamnknight]

[ouch! if anything else, she did manage to touch his face. what a painful answer to a simple question. the bad thing about being, simply put, high off his ass means his balance is severely lacking. so, in addition to being utterly startled, the strike also ends up completely taking him off balance.

so what does he do? reach and grab for the closest thing by him to help him from falling, of course! the closest thing also happens to be rottytops' hand. with how he's falling over, grabbing that hand might also result in dragging her down to the ground with him.]

[cadventuretime]

[Were she completely with it, she'd probably be able to step out of the way -- or at the very least, let her arm pop off to spare the rest of her the fall. But, no, she's pretty out of it and so when Flynn gives a tumble, so does she.]

[There's a huge CRASH and after the dust settles, the zombie finds herself pressed up against Flynn.]

[She takes a moment to look down at their predicament, before slowly drifting over to his face.]

Heh. Looks like I'm falling for you.

[thatdamnknight]

[the herbs make flynn's reaction a little more chill than normal. okay, A LOT more chill. a lady ontop of him and so close would've made him turn tomato red while flailing like crazy. it's not appropriate!! not okay!!! all he does now is blankly stare back at her and then crack a grin at the joke.]

That's funny. Falling because we actually fell.

[there's a laugh because this has to be the funniest thing he's ever heard!]

You'd make a great comedian.

e

[secrowtary]

I'm not!!!

[ Defensive much. ]

You should most definitely cut back on Palai drinks.

[ Sorry Rottytops, you've latched to a boring person. ]

[cadventuretime]

[He's boring and dull and... and...]

[There's a hand that flips up his bangs.]

Have you ever thought of trying shorter hair?

[What.]

[secrowtary]

[ Hibiki flinches at that, completely forgetting to swat her hand. ]

Why are you bringing up this subject all of a sudden? They're not that long anyway.

[ He's so confused right now??? ]

Are you feeling alright?

[mech_and_mutt]

[Well, onlookers can now DOUBLY marvel at the oddity here; a dog and a zombie. Unfortunately, Red's still a bit too sober for this.]

I, uh, didn't know you went for guys with facial hair, Rotty.

[cadventuretime]

[She laughs. Ooops. Well, its going to be more fun to play with this than not.]

I mean it, Red! Why don't you stop chasing after cats for once? You know they just scratch and spit and lead you into trees.

[SMRIK. Like there's any way he'd go for that...]

[mech_and_mutt]

Hey, now, she never spit.

[Some days he might have been a bit more receptive to Rotty's usual jabs. But come on, these were starting to approach the beltline.

Not that he was above returning the favor.]

Besides, am I really your type? I've still got a pulse.

[cadventuretime]

But you're not saying she did the other things~ [Push push.]

[But at that comment she just rolled her eyes.]

What, zombie guys? You really haven't met very many, huh. They're all arms and mouth and they're only interested in my brain.

[She chuckles a little and leans in closer.] If I'm going to find somebody, I need to... keep my options open.

[Especially since for her to date would require a pretty open-minded sort of person.]

[mech_and_mutt]

HEY!! [Well, it wasn't at all difficult getting him worked up, was it?] Don't twist my words to make me sound like kinda pervert!

And no, I can't say I've met a zombie guy, but if they're like how you desc--

[mech_and_mutt]

[...Interested in her brain. He may not have been the best in his studies but slowly, surely, all those oddities of nuance in the way she talked about that started to line up.]

...Oh my Dog.
