[WORLD ONE | DING DONG THE FISH IS DEAD]

[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!

NOOOOOO

[teratias]

[Hey! Hey! Waver huffs up at that, glaring.]

Don't put words in my mouth! And it wasn't like I had the time to learn from anyone either, jeez.

c: c: c: sucks to suck

[hydrostorm]

[ that huff is worth all the gald in the world. sucker. ]

Oho? What were you doing that was so important you didn't have time to learn to do basics?

truly!!!

[teratias]

I-- [Waver clams up immediately. This is personal! And he isn't going to tell someone who's inclined to immediately tease him!]

Something happened in my family, okay?!

poor waver what did you do to deserve this

[hydrostorm]

[ she cants her head to the side. the sharp teasing tone dies down just a little and what she says next is almost wistful. ]

Families. Can't live with them and certainly not without them.

[ her eyes affix themselves on the nearing coven house. ]

absolutely nothing he just attracts a certain type

[teratias]

[Waver breathes out, exhausted and sounding a little stressed. At least the topic's been handled...better than he expected.]

Yeah. Something like that.

[But that brings up another question.]

Wait. Can you cook?

so does she apparently

[hydrostorm]

[ like hell she'd ever tell anyone her sob story beyond vague metaphors. but she gets it. and she'll respect the whole "family" issue as something she won't poke fun at. ]

Of course I can. What kind of respectable witch can't cook?

[ that, and she had to learn a lot of it when she was traveling with velvet and the crew. you tend to do a lot of impromptu camping. ]

one day he'll accept it. probably.

[teratias]

[He appreciates it, and there'z zero intent to ask after why she so willingly backed off. It's probably just as personal.]

I dunno. Lots of people don't have the skill and there's stuff like take out to fill that void.

[Waver shuffles along, eyes ahead. The coven's housing looms closer and closer.]

If we get to some place with cheesecake, I'll get you a slice. Fair?

[hydrostorm]

[ .... why is he being nice all of a sudden? she wants to question it but just... doesn't. she doesn't like to call attention to that sort of thing. ]

Oh, I suppose.

[ a beat. ]

Wait, are you expecting me to cook for you? Oho, I didn't know we'd reached that level already!

[teratias]

Hey! What'd I say about putting words in my mouth?! I was just trying to make up for the thing we just experienced and agreed we were never going to talk about!

the fact that this tag right here isn't a gag tag baffles me

[hydrostorm]

What? Do you want me to put something else in your mouth?

i'm just DELIGHTED also forgive this absolute idiot

[teratias]

I...!

[Waver is just fire engine red. Why hasn't the sea floor opened and tried to swallow him? Someone save him.]

What would you even put there instead?!

i can't stop laughing. bless this.

[hydrostorm]

[ oh my god she found an idiot blushing virgin. wonderful. ]

Do you want a bulleted list, or....?

Neither can I these two are an endless treasure trove.

[teratias]

[SHE KNOWS.

SHIT.

No! I mean, obviously I know I was just....just calling your bluff!

the comedy duo of the century

[hydrostorm]

[ ..... UH-HUH. ]

Reallllllly? My, my I just don't believe you.

i'm so proud of them both

[teratias]

Well! You're wrong, so that's that!

[Oh thank God, they're at the door. Waver just barrels right in, this is ending no place good.]

oh m god why is this happening

[hydrostorm]

[ ....... she's just going to follow him. and make sure he ends up in the large kitchen. nerd. ]

Is that so? Wanna make this girl a believer?

they keep egging each other on that's how

[teratias]

[Shit.

Shit shit shit.

No, he was going to go to bed why are they in the kitchen?!]

What, here? So you can think about lizard milk again?

it's spiraling out of control i love it

[hydrostorm]

[ SHE SAID NEVER TO TALK ABOUT THAT AGAIN. SHE JUST WANTED YOU TO TELL HER YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HELL FRENCH KISSING IS - ]

Lizard milk, huh....

What a pervert! You're ruining my innocence, Mister Mage!

guess what if this goes where i suspect it's probably waver's first kiss

[teratias]

You're the one who even got us into that situation!

[HE DOESN'T SO HE HAS TO OBFUSCATE!]

IM DYING.......

[hydrostorm]

I'm but a delicate, withering flower! And you're over here taking advantage of poor little old me!

What a heartbreaker!

[ she's clasping her hand over her heart again. ]

FACEHAND FOREVER AT THESE TWO

[teratias]

Wait how the hell am I taking advantage of you!? You lead me back here to a nearly empty house and cornered me in a kitchen!

I CANT EVEN RIGHT NOW

[hydrostorm]

I did nothing of the sort! I made it very clear I was hungry and you willingly followed like a good puppy.

I CAN AND I'M JUST DYING

[teratias]

All of the food is at the festival though not here!

RIP US

[hydrostorm]

[ ..... she's quirking a brow. ]

You mean the disgusting fish food? I'll pass.

But back to the heart of the matter! Your bold move! At least be polite and compliment a girl first before you proposition her!

also rip waver at this point

[teratias]

I! I wasn't propositioning, I didn't even know that...!!

[Wait.

Waaaaaaaaaaaait a minute.]

You're actually...interested in me like that?

[It sounds fake to him ok.]
