[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!

[For a second she thinks is a good idea, but the more she thinks of it...]

...that's a terrible idea.

Even if you painted it perfectly, it still wouldn't be... [she waves a hand to the sky]

This is moving! This is fluid! This swirls and bobs and bends and shakes and lobs~ Its perfect and its imperfect! You could spend a lifetime trying to catch even an inch of this thing and it still wouldn't be as... as BIG as this.

[She's now transfixed... and not entirely sure she understands what she's saying.]

The best thing that we can do is try to take in the moment and keep it as a memory. That's all anything comes down to, in the end.

[actus]

That was deep.

[ he doesn't even sound like he's making fun of her. he's just blinking, very slowly, nodding as he processes everything she just said. that's something that should be written down...! ]

Are you an artist?

[ because that makes logical sense??? the only other person he's heard ramble about something like that with such precision was yusuke. ]

[cadventuretime]

[A con artist, maybe.]

[She laughs at that, as she feels she was just spouting gibberish. Instead, she decides that sitting down and staring at the sky sounds like a good idea, heedless of what Akira has to say on the matter.]

Naw. I'm more of a... well, lets just call me a treasure hunter.

And you're not an artist, then?

[actus]

[ he perks up instantly. ]

Treasure hunter?

[ oh my god. he's perhaps scooting just a tad too close, eyes very nearly sparkling at this point. ]

I am, too. ...Sort of.

[cadventuretime]

[Is he... hitting on her?]

[Nah, that's not possible, she's dead. Still, her smile spreads and she looks over at him.]

Oh, competition huh? Well, don't think I will hold back just because you're cute. Hehehe...

[He's seems as cute as he is rude, really.]

[actus]

[ ... oh. that actually earns a fetching shade of pink. his face is warm. ]

Ah... I wonder if there's anything worth stealing here, though. I'm not used to the boring treasure hunts.

[ he flicks his gaze away. ]
