[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!

    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!

    So it's like friendship, but a lot of friendship at once. ( That's what you said and that's how he understands it, okay.

    But then that's also making his brain churn with questions of how much friendship does normal friendship feel like? Do you have to divide friendship by fights and stuff and then that makes it less friendship? Are there friendship multipliers for other relationship things??

    Oh my god fuck math. What more information can he weasle out of Akira, oblivious to any discomfort or lack of knowledge depth, hmmm. )


    How did you know? When you started to like him instead of just the regular friendship stuff? ( This drug is unlocking some really weird subconscious part of his brain that he likely won't remember all that well come tomorrow. )
    actus: (pic#11624368)

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
    Yeah. Maximum overdrive friendship.

    [ these are the modifiers he chooses when drugs are pulsing through him. either way, he's going to give that last question some more thought. he falls silent, fiddling with his bangs again. how did it start? well, he knows vaguely when he started floundering around like the teenager he was, but that was extremely circumstantial.

    so. hm. akira wiggles his nose again and just. hums. ]


    We were talking and I was stupidly happy. Like, waiting for his responses. And then when we met up again it felt different. I was excited? Kinda like you get when you're waiting for something to happen? I also started teasing him a lot more.

    [ akira you aren't helping???? ]
    enflame: (( 037 ))

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
    ( THAT DOESN'T HELP, HE CAN'T TELL IF HE'S GAY OR NOT )

    Friends do that kind of thing to... Not that it matters, but it's good info for the future. One day.

    ( Maybe his vial is wearing off but the topic is suddenly making him feel more squeamish. You can't catch me, gay thoughts I don't even understand that I may or may not have. )

    At the very least, I'm glad that you're happy. Very happy, it seems.
    actus: @ bitemark (Default)

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
    [ QUICK FIND ANOTHER VIAL. THESE GAY THOUGHTS THEY NEED TO CONTINUE. ]

    Sometimes you just ... know when it shifts. I think.

    [ it's hard to explain, but sometimes it just feels different one day. it's very hard to put into words. ]

    If all fails, kissing someone tends to solve it. [ AKIRA STOP???? ]
    enflame: (( 107 ))

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
    ( NO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, NOT MAKING IT WORSE AKIRA

    Emil wrinkles his nose. He's not opposed to the general idea of kissing AT ALL but. )


    That's a really...love...y? ( Still a little high, can't think of the word 'intimate.' ) Thing to do if you're not sure. And then shouldn't you want to kiss them before you figure it out? And if you want to kiss them shouldn't that tell you anyway?

    ( He' somewhat worried about wasting his first kiss on a maybe; he's a romantic, sue him. Emil also realizes he's talking about kissing with someone and oh that certainly is a wave of embarrassment that just hit him like BRICKS, SO MANY BRICKS. )
    actus: @ bitemark (Default)

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
    Ah... it's probably an extreme idea, yeah.

    [ he wouldn't kiss without confirming his own feelings. but some people are like that. and he's not exactly expecting emil to be a romantic or to never have had his first kiss. so there's a lot of mixed signals here. ]

    You could always pull a me and keep teasing them until they call you out on it.

    [ #obvious much, akira? but really, he tosses emil another look and then laughs, the drug still definitely there but slightly wearing off. ] Mm. There's no rush, though.
    enflame: (( 213 ))

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
    Yeah, I know... ( About the rush thing...oh my god some part of his brain wants to sink into a hole now. The other part is still slightly high and helping him remain #chill. Also Akira is like is almost 4 years younger than him, Emil you're a loser. )

    I don't know if I'm much for teasing...I also didn't know that was some romantic indication.

    ( He got teased a lot when he was in school for a short period of time, and he's like 100% positive that wasn't because a lot of people had a crush on him, if you can believe that. )
    actus: @ berselius (pic#11438190)

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
    Maybe it's a teenager thing.

    [ teasing the people you like. he isn't sure. and what do you mean people didn't have crushes on you, emil? you and your catacomb hair. gosh!! ]

    You could always ask my boyfriend. He's your age. [ he thinks. it's hard to assess people's age here, but he's certain that emil is older than him. just. saying. ]

    Maybe he'll have valuable insight.
    enflame: (( 185 ))

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
    ( Being fat and smart-mouthy gets you nowhere in the real world, who'd have thunk.

    Dang though, Akira...you go from no details to about to give up the dude in full. Character growth )


    Sure? But it's not like it's something pressing in my life. ( At least he thinks so, anyway. Emil also went a little wide-eyed at the word 'boyfriend.' He can't help but feel a tiny tingle along his spine. ) Weren't you keeping his identity a secret? It seemed like it.
    actus: @ byob (pic#11552949)

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
    [ is boyfriend the key to start the gay feelings ignition? ]

    It's still a secret. You haven't figured it out yet.

    [ that, and akira enjoys poking fun when it causes no harm. a chuckle bubbles up from his throat and he twirls his curl around his finger tighter and tighter - ]

    Unless you have.
    enflame: (( 090 ))

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
    ( no but listening to a guy talk about gay stuff is turning the battery on )

    I can't ask him if I don't even know him! ( Not that he needs to ask or anything...he may not even know this person and it's pretty headass to just telepathy ping a guy you don't know like "hey explain like-likeing to me please." )

    Give me another hint, I'm sure I can figure it out. ( Emil knows like 15 people in the entire coven, so no he probably can't. )
    actus: @ babyjail (pic#11585844)

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
    [ who knows. maybe he'll talking about hand-holding next. because akira's (surprisingly) innocent. ]

    Ah.... [ blame the drugs for this. otherwise his lips would be tightly sealed. it's just easy to talk to emil like this. for some reason. must be the impeccable hair. ]

    He's been here since the island. [ which severely reduces the candidates, in fact??? ]
    enflame: (( 239 ))

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
    ( Oh that's fine since Emil's actually done that....yes he's that ignorant. )

    I can think of a few people...wait. No. ( Dirk and that other universe friend of his is a teenager. A few of the other people he knows are also teenagers -- well, he's a teenager but an adult teenager. )

    The only other person I can think of is Lalli so I need another hint.

    ( unless ur fuckin dating lalli and then he will DIE )
    actus: @ byob (pic#11552947)

    i cant stop laughing????

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
    [ can you imagine? akira says in deadpan that he's dating lalli. just to... see the reaction... no, he's on too many drugs to be that furtive. ]

    Mm. Maybe you haven't met him. [ akira is endlessly amused by this, watching emil out of the corner of his eye. ]

    He practices a lot. [ that's not helping the #notlalli explanation.... ]
    enflame: (( 236 ))

    oh my GOD

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
    ( THE SMALL MIRACLES

    Yeah, Emil has no idea. Definitely, a sign he needs to get out more. )


    Another one. ( His brow is furrowing; the high half of his brain is making him so paranoid. Oh my god the puzzle pieces are coming together...... )
    actus: @ byob (pic#11552953)

    actual tears

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
    He sort of worked for something like the military back home? And likes sweets?

    [ (no i'm not cherrypicking details to confuse emil????)

    akira can't help the (stupid) smile on his face when he's explaining this. sober akira would realize he's just rambling and completely defeating the whole "mystery" angle. but sue him. he's a dumb teenager. ]
    enflame: (ss005)

    akira is a demon

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
    ( I can't believe that Akira was living while Emil was DYING. The difference in their expression is notable, between Akira's dopey smile and Emil's confused angry face.

    Lalli did explicitly say that he liked Akira maybe...he'd been emotionally weird lately. His mind is completely glossing over some things that make it completely obvious that this is untrue but. Nah.

    Bieng high officially sucks. )


    Will you please just tell me who the hell you're talking about?
    actus: @ bitemark (pic#11584725)

    did the magical plate summon him?

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
    [ what in the world is with that attitude shift? like, whoah. bring it back down, buddy. relax. chill. ]

    Wha --

    Oh. You think it's Lalli.

    [ PLEASE CLARIFY.... he's trying not to burst into laughter because wow - ]
    enflame: (( 187 ))

    SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH???

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
    No...well, he did say he liked you!

    ( NOT LIKE THAT BUT THAT'S THE MOST DAMNING EVIDENCE )

    I don't actually think that, you're just listing a lot of things that match up with him is all. He must have a twin I don't know about.
    actus: @ byob (pic#11552954)

    UGLY CRYING

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
    [ ????????? ]

    I think tolerates me is a better way to describe it. [ but he's amused, and he just sort of, while still in this drug-induced stupor, pokes emil's forehead. with his index finger. ]

    Maybe we're similar. [ what does that mean, gosh. how suspicious and subtle. ]
    enflame: (( 067 ))

    ive lost control of this thread oh my god

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
    ( Is this confirmation like..........what is he going on about?? )

    No, he told me he liked you, maybe! ...Also maybe don't tell him I told you that. ( Maybe that's supposed to be a secret WHO KNOWS. ) Does that mean...?

    ( Being real, the thought is actually kind of painful for not-so-gay reasons (also slightly gay reasons, but I digress). Lalli'd told him recently sometimes he couldn't talk to him about everything because it was hard. Would this be something that was too hard? Would Lalli find somebody, whoever they may be, and not tell him about it?

    That cuts deep. )

    what the hell is even happening who let this happen

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
    [ liked him? he just talked about life and consequences with the poor guy... clearly emil just means like as in friendship. especially because they talked about emil like... 50% of the time. ]

    Ah, no I -- [ he can see the whirring conflict and he realizes he may have phrased that poorly. god damn words. god damn drugs. ]

    I meant that we hang out with similar people. And are friends with similar people. [ abort mission!!! ]

    He more than tolerates you. He talks about you all the time. [ there, that's more on track? ]
    enflame: (( 171 ))

    looks at you......looks away

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
    ( If he was privy to that maybe his Palai weed infused brain would shut up.

    Except wait, maybe he is privy to this now. .........Oh. )


    Wait...so you're not...? What are you talking about?

    ( Emil understands very simple concepts right now, please just say yes or no and spare him the torment. Also he's aware they talked about him once (Lalli apparently knew Emil was worried about him during the whole coma thing via Akira), but...? )
    actus: @ berselius (pic#11438190)

    shhh shhhhh

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
    [ oh my god does he still think -- ?

    there's a quick blush that appears on akira's face despite the calming effects of the drug. he lifts a hand up, nearly hitting himself in the face, before he begins to swish it around in front of him. ]


    What -- No. I'm not dating Lalli. [ just clarifying in case he? still thought that? he was? oh my god? this is so embarrassing. he's nearly tugging his bangs off his face at this rate -]

    I was just saying Lalli and Hibiki are similar, so we're probably similar, too. [ GOOD JOB AKIRA. ]
    enflame: (( 056 ))

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
    ( Okay, thank you. His high brain is satisfied.

    But his high brain is also stupid. )


    ...Who is Hibiki?
