[WORLD ONE | FINAL GOODBYES]

[spellbindmods]

Who: Coven members and the Palai
Where: The Palai Marketplace
When: Days 75 & 76
Open/Closed: Open to All
OOC Note: This is for any and all unresolved threads you'd like to get out of the way before the coven leaves Aimintas. Feel free to backdate specific prompts to whatever day is suitable for you.

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!

Since the Palai discovered that the coven is preparing to leave, they've been preparing for the moment their friends do eventually vanish. This means wrapping up large baskets of food and other supplies that will be given to the coven for their large caravan -- but they also like to give out little personal gifts to those that they recognize or have formed a bond with. Though the Palai are usually people of celebrations, this event is much more muted and personal. Gifts are given and they're certainly congregating, but there's also a dull hum of sadness in the air. The coven has done a lot for their people and helped them establish protection for themselves, so how they fare from here should be positive. With the Uvi gone, will another threat arrive? Who knows -- but the coven won't be here to witness it. A ▢ For those who have Palai children to take care of, the time for their final decision is here. Will they leave their hatchling with their people, or has it become a part of their own family? The Palai are fine with either decision. If your character wants to give up their Palai baby, this is their chance to say goodbye. If they don't want to, the time to choose has come. The Palai will tell them more about their children and how to care for them -- think a regular baby parenting class, except with lizards. B ▢ Certain Palai may have gotten to know your character over their time in Aimintas -- or maybe they barely know your character because they're newer! No matter who your character is, the Palai will give them personalized gifts. These can be based on your character's appearance, extremely insulting, just what your character needed, etc. C ▢ Finally, the Palai are grateful for what the coven's magic has done for them. Some of the Lyna have created little amulets out of the Elto bones, inserting them into glass spheres that glow and prevent some of the electrical sting. These can help your character amplify their powers, which may be fun to play with. Focusing on telepathy while using these amulets, however, will also amplify speech -- leading to some telepathic screaming that your character maybe didn't intend. D ▢ Wildcard! What unfinished business does your character have remaining in Aimintas? Now's the time to take care of it. They'll be gone come tomorrow afternoon.

[ being here that long gives you a lot of knowledge, but it also leaves a bitter taste in your mouth: seeing people come and go with no reason. it stings. you make friends and they disappear. it's ... hard. ]

It's fine. [ what a talker! ] It's nothing like this.

[talim]

Hmm.

Well, who knows when I'll get the chance to see it, right? It's impossible to predict anything in this place.

[ jude shakes his head. ]

I'm glad you were able to meet Hibiki and share a connection with him, though. I mean it. There's something undeniably precious about forging a close bond like that in unfamiliar circumstances like these.

[ oh my god.

that's enough to make akira fidget with the front of his bang, twisting a curl around on his finger. ]

...Thanks. It's made a lot of this easier.

[ it hadn't ever been his intention to get involved with anyone in that way, especially with how uncertain this entire situation was, but things just happen sometimes. unexpectedly and without reason. so it's fine. he's always taken things as they come. ]

[talim]

[ did akira think he was getting off the hook without a jrpg protag speech? he was dead wrong.

jude wonders how much easier things would be if milla were here, but... the thought disappears as quickly as it came. there's no point in entertaining it. ]

I can imagine.

[ jude offers him a sunshine smile, hugging the books closer to his chest. ]

I'm glad I got the chance to meet you. I hope we can become friends, too.
