[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!

    ( 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. )

    [ 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?
    actus: @ byob (pic#11591541)

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
    [ he's probably the worst high wingman in the world. it's fine. it's all fine. ]

    Ah. [ oh god. busted. save some face, kid, and just... adjust his glasses or something, feigning nonchalance. ] My boyfriend.

    [ except his face is a rare red. ]
    enflame: (( 086 ))

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
    ( maybe emil will finally have the upperhand?? what damage will be done??

    Wow. Suddenly everything is so real. What's real? Everything. Emil shifts his eyes from side to side, suddenly feeling awkward because of...that whole minute-long exchange. The drugs are fizzling out quickly.

    Akira seems to be feeling somewhat similarly as Emil can tell by looking over at him, seeing his redness that can be viewed from space. )


    ...Are you okay? ( There, there, Dadmil is here. )
    actus: @ byob (pic#11552947)

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
    [ critical damage. probably a one-hit ko.

    he misses the drugs. maybe they can snipe another one of those vials and go back to laughing and talking about secrets and hair. ]


    Yeah? Why wouldn't I be? [ he's not actually aware that his face is an accusing red. oops. ]
    enflame: (( 244 ))

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
    ( Feel free to get as high as you want Akira, but Emil is suddenly a D.A.R.E. supporter. )

    Your face is red -- are you feverish? ( Excuse him while he feels your forehead, get those ratty bangs out of the way. )
    actus: @ byob (pic#11552950)

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
    [ oh my god stop??? his curls are sacred. ]

    I don't think so? [ but maybe the weird palai drugs had a strange effect. he isn't going to jump to any hasty conclusions but... you know. ]

    Do I look sick? [ this is a serious question. ]
    enflame: (( 260 ))

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
    Not particularly. ( Okay, withdrawing his hand. He's about as warm as you'd expect a lovestruck teenager coming down from a high.

    Oh...a lovestruck teenager, huh. Maybe Emil's regaining some of the brain he does have. )


    ...Are you embarrassed? ( THAT'S SO SOFT. ALERT: AKIRA IS SOFT!!!! )
    actus: @ byob (pic#11552968)

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
    [ NO YOURE THE SOFTEST BOY. STOP??? ]

    I don't really... talk about these things that often.

    [ so yes, he's quite embarrassed. he's fiddling with his bangs now that emil's hand is gone, thank you very much. calling attention to his own embarrassment just makes his face flare up again. this is why he's always deadpanning. or shit posting. he's actually just a soft boy deep down. ]
    enflame: (( 101 ))

    [personal profile] enflame 2017-09-14 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
    ( just call him soft-senpai

    Speaking of softness, Emil has the perfect opportunity for that teasing Akira was talking about earlier, but! His softness is surface softness and he can't bring himself to. )


    Well, you can talk as much or as little about whatever you want. But it's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's nice that something like this can make you...feel so much.

    ( There's obviously more than happiness, so "feel" it is. )
    actus: @ byob (pic#11591542)

    [personal profile] actus 2017-09-14 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ soft-senpai. this is too much for him.

    he scrubs his face with the back of his hand, trying to will away with redness. surprisingly, it sticks. go figure. ]


    That's probably the best way of putting it, yeah. It's not just one feeling.

    [ he murmurs it through the gaps between his fingers, as if that'll save some face. god, if his friends back home were to see him now, they'd truly think their leader wasn't debonair. ]
