[HUB ISLAND | ICE BREAKERS]

[spellheal]

Who: Coven Members
Where: Coven Base Camp
When: Day 90
Open/Closed: OTA

You're not doing anything right now, right? Good. Genette's using some of the resources taken from Aimintas to create a little get together. Even if you do have something going on, she's not averse to using a little force to make the evening magical. In fact, the magic is exactly how she's pulling this off. Genette is offering you to a little get together at the base camp, which may be all it takes for you to follow her. If not? Your hand is tethered (or some other part of you) quickly and you're led to the camp anyway. This is important, darn it! What's so important? A little "party" of sorts. There's an assortment of foods, some of which have been hastily made since some groups have gone harvesting for new resources, and a large water basin that's acting as a punch bowl. The true purpose of this little activity is a 'get to know you' exercise of sorts. Genette's got a glass container of a large quantity of Elto bones that can short-circuit the tethers, but the caveat is that you have to participate in a little, tethered sharing circle. (It's honestly a good idea to know who you're stuck within your little makeshift coven, but Genette is the pushy sort when she sets her mind to something.) The way to be released from your Elto shackles? Tell everyone your name, where you're from, your magic (seemingly left a little ambiguous) and something else about yourself. Discussions are encouraged! The more people know, the better! After you're done sharing with the class, food and drink is yours to have -- or you can just run off, that's fine too. OOC: Characters who would have absolutely nothing to do with this can of course escape, whether fleeing in the first place or using Elto bones of their own to circuit out their tether. A ▢ This is it -- your character can breathe deeply, unlock their knees and get this little activity over with. All they have to do is share the criteria and they're free to go! B ▢ Afterwards, their free to stick around the area and mingle. There IS food and also drinks. They may also want to have a more private conversation about something they learned tonight.

[rootbound]

I mean, also neither of us really knows all the implications of a blood pact with a god.

[sighs]

That's not a complaint, just...well, you know. It can be weird. How old is the art of evocation where you're from?

[rootbound]

[a tiny shrug, hunching his bony shoulders briefly]

It would be reasonable to be angry, I would think. But, okay.

[rootbound]

Today we discover whether you have the misfortune of an anti-footwear geas.

[makes a quick stop at wherever the coven keeps general supplies, picking up what they need for crude shoemaking, then heads for a good quiet spot; at least most people are still at the icebreakers and won't bother them here.]

[talim]

You're right; it would be. That doesn't mean I am. Are you disappointed?

[thatdamnknight]

I don't mind them and can handle them just fine, but Yuri's in a whole different league. It might be because he's practically an overgrown child himself.

[talim]

[ jude laughs. ]

I think I know someone like that, too.

[teratias]

Hold up. Blood pact?

[That's a surprising word choice. Waver frowns.]

It's pretty old. Millennia, to be certain.

[lalliho]

[What makes this a punishment... He certainly doesn't get this girl -- not that that's unusual.]

You can still wear it, I just think it's ugly.

[lalliho]

[He narrows his eyes a little, like studying Jude closely will let him skip asking to get all the information he needs. Really, though...]

I'm just glad it hasn't happened again. It's too weird.

[lalliho]

[Hmmn. Technically they were capable of that, he thinks, unable to fathom space, but it would be incredibly difficult. Even just getting to another part of Denmark was harsh.]

That's...impressive, I guess. Impressive and weird. [And Lalli doesn't have a ton of social acumen, but enough people have asked in the past that he has to wonder if this guy wants to as well.] ...We call them trolls. The monsters. And sometimes giants and beasts.

[spaceforged]

[He hadn’t expected an answer. Giant disease monsters and five countries. He can do the math but the questions remain. How did it end up like that?]

...so outside the five countries, the world is hostile and dangerous?[IHe thinks that over one more time.]

Space is also dangerous. Some placrs are safe, but a lot of it is dangerous and filled with hostile forces. A moon can break apart as a beast. Or a storm spin on itself for who knows how many years. To name a few things we saw.

[potentite]

Huh. That's awfully deep. [It sounds so simple but he didn't think of it that way.] Though, animals feel a mite easier to handle than people.

[soulcomet]

You're right about that ... I know we joke about cats being mysterious, but I think I've met way more people who are much harder to read.

[Madoka can't stop herself from wondering, either, if Jake feels safe around her. that would be a weird question to ask, though, wouldn't it? so she doesn't.]

That's okay, though — it's definitely not a bad thing.

[talim]

Well, weird or not, I can assure you that you don't have to worry about being poisoned by feelings.

[apatheia]

Then we can start whenever. I'm always free for you.

[Frankly speaking. The only other things she thinks she'll be doing here all involve working to improve the island, so it's not like focusing on this would be cutting into that. There was the off chance she'd be helping someone else with something, but while she's not antisocial by any means, she also doubts that many people would be going out of their way to seek her company for something.

Besides, it's Nines. Of course she's free for him.]

[thatdamnknight]

Do they also like behaving like they're 5 despite being at least three times older?

[other people as childish as yuri, huh? tell him more about this friend!]

[splinten]

Then any time you're down, bro.

[enflame]

( Akira...tell soft-senpai your woes. )

The lizard? Alright, I suppose. They like to try and electrocute anything they get their hands on, but I take that as a good sign.

[enflame]

Well, yes... ( You've certainly got him there, although Emil isn't sure what they'd have to fight on the hub island outside of some pigs.

He's not a future-thinking kind of guy. ) Not knowing how to fish seems a bit silly. It's simple, too. Where else would you get fish from if there's no supermarket around?

[enflame]

That's the dumbest power I've heard of yet. What's the point?

( Okay, he's dubious about it but...if that's true then you're royally fucked dude lol. )

[enflame]

I wouldn't, but you know those types. Thinking they have to do something horrible because it's a job and such! ( He means 'being responsible.' )

That's somehow more reasonable to me than someone actually enjoying being locked in their uniform all the time!

[enflame]

I just can't see how you don't mind if you know what the alternative is. I think you just got used to it, is all.

( No one should have to get used to that type of thing. Searching for your own food, building little grass hutches, digging latrines...god that's all so uncivilized. )

[lalliho]

[He makes...some kind of noise at that. It's a little hard to distinguish, but it's probably sort of a disdainful scoff-grumble?]

I didn't worry about emotions poisoning me. I thought I was poisoned into feeling them, and doing weird stuff. Because it wasn't normal.

[deem]

Well then...

[Prepare to be dazzled, 2B. In place of the smaller sword he gave away, he generates a fishing pole he'd crafted for her use, offering it to her the moment it flickers into his grip. It'd be utterly useless in a fight, but it's a convenient method of carrying something when the space exists to be used.

Or 9S is just a maverick and cannot be tamed]

Here, you'll need this.

[apatheia]

I suppose a knife would be the easiest to use for an animal to use... You didn't think it was dangerous for him, to pick up a knife like that?
