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.

They were referring to Faygo. All of my supply was consumed by an alien clown. Sorry, bro.

[Honestly... he misses having orange soda...]

I'll show you if we find a world that has any.

[lalliho]

Oh... We didn't have that. We didn't have a lot of things?

[Faygo... Definitely never heard of it, or the alien clown things that drink it.]

Mostly water, so I want to see it.

[splinten]

From one post-apocalyptic dude to another, I swear that I will not deny you the taste of sweet, carbonated sugar water.

[on that note]

That's assuming I was right in interpreting your comment from speed dating as meaning you were from a world that had taken massive damage.

[lalliho]

[Let him...mentally interpret... There really is some lag during their conversations because of this.]

...Yes. Everyone got sick and died or became trolls.

[mmm]

[splinten]

That almost wasn't ridiculous until trolls came in. Nice save.

[lalliho]

Thank...you?

[?????? he doesn't get it]

[splinten]

[The important thing is Lalli is just confused and not in some way upset.]

For the sake of comparative metaphysics, what are the trolls like?

[grey skin candy corn horns obnoxious typing quirks???]

[lalliho]

For the what?

[Like, he's not even gonna try that one. He knows the important part of the question, though!]

They're all really different. It depends on the environment the infected stuff is in...but...death. They look like scary, gross death.

[splinten]

For the sake of comparing your universe's trolls with mine.

[Let's say that and not get into the narrative connections he was implying with that metaphysics comment.]

That's unfortunate. Why were the most Northern countries alright? Or was that not the defining feature of survival.

[lalliho]

[ummm this is a tough question for someone who never really thought about it before and just spent his nineteen years following orders and being depressed.]

...I guess Tuuri says some people think there are people far, far away that are okay, but we can't hear them and stuff. I don't think so. The old gods blessed us with magic, though. Except Sweden, because they don't believe in any.

[splinten]

I have some serious questions about how the Swedish can be that oblivious.

[there are TROLLS]

[lalliho]

[SHRUG. If he knew what Dirk was thinking, he'd make sure he knew that Sweden knew about trolls.]

They think they're really great and smart because they could fix their problems with the Illness with weird technology instead. They have more resources.
