[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.

a.

Oh, oh! A captive audience! Fine, I know you're all dying to hear my answers. I guess I can let you in on a few little secrets.

I am the Great Mazhigigika Miludin do Din Nolurun Dou! And I come from a world quite like this. Apart from being a super talented witch, I've added noise mimicry to my endless talents!

[ she's far too calm for being trapped by these elto shackles. ]

Annnnnnnd... My books hold all the secrets you could ever dream up.

[lalliho]

[.............]

Mazingangagadindou.

[hydrostorm]

[ ............. ]

No, no, no! That's not it at all!

[lalliho]

Määzingadouka?

[how did it get worse]

[hydrostorm]

Ugh, no, it's -

[ FINE. ]

The Great Magilou, for short.

[lalliho]

...Magi.

[you can't win, magilou.]

[hydrostorm]

H-hey! That's way too personal.

[ she's losing so fast, so hard. ]

a

[spaceforged]

So that's what you meant by 'being a parrot'. [He flexes his wrist to test the tether for the umpteenth time.]

[hydrostorm]

[ keep doing that and you may have unforeseen circumstances.... ]

Mhmmmmm. What did you think I meant?

[spaceforged]

[He doesn't like restraints. Even ones that aren't by hostile dictators.]

Have you tried to parrot someone else's ability?

[hydrostorm]

Not exactly, no. I think it just works with voices.

[spaceforged]

We could test it. We're not exactly going anywhere right now. You'd just have to step back a few more steps. [He's willing to try it if she is.]

[hydrostorm]

[ you know what, it can't hurt. might as well try and learn her limits! so... she steps back. ]

All right. Go ahead, dazzle me with your powers!

[cuchulainn]

[ GESUNDHEIT ]

You're a witch?

[ because that's obviously the most important thing going on here. ]

[hydrostorm]

Only the greatest and most terrifying!

[ her eyes are sparkling. she's not sorry. ]

[cuchulainn]

Oh, really?

[ not really condescending but there's a sort of teasing tone. ]

Too bad you can't show off here. I'd like to see if that's true.

[ he knew a scary ass sorceress witch in his day so

he can't help but be curious. ]

[hydrostorm]

[ she quirks a brow. and then taps her lips thoughtfully. ]

Hmmm, who knows! Maybe I can show you in the future.

For a price.

[ she has the audacity to wink at that, a giggle bubbling up.

two can tease, okay. ]

[cuchulainn]

I hope you plan on telling me what kind of price that is.

[ he liked this girl.

yeah, it literally took about ten seconds for that to happen. look, he liked her attitude. couldn't help it when someone kept up with him.

a+ wink also. ]

Otherwise, I can't say I'll agree to it.

[hydrostorm]

[ most people want to either smack her upside the head or walk away as fast as possible. the fact he's indulging this banter is a+ quality on her end, too.

her hand falls to her hip and she gives him an appraising stare. ]

Hmmmm, that would spoil the surprise. A crafty witch doesn't go around telling all of her secrets outright.

I'm sure a man as capable as yourself is flush with cash. So it won't be a problem.

[ magilou no. ]

[allconsumed]

[Wow, shocking that Magilou doesn't seem particularly fazed by this. Velvet has already tried to break her own shackles by force, obviously without success. Honestly it was kind of embarrassing and now her wrists are sore. Magilou didn't notice, hopefully? Yeah right.

Anyway. Time to get on her case, as Velvet does.]

If you're going to lie, you could at least come up with something impressive.

[hydrostorm]

[ when does magilou never not notice something? unless she's playing stupid. which is often. so really, it's a 50/50 thing. ]

What?! Me! Lie?! Velvet, how dare you insinuate such things!

[ she's clasping a hand to her heart, the tether giving a sharp tug. sorry? ]

If you don't believe me, you could look yourself, you know. [ ......oh. ]

[allconsumed]

[Velvet lurches forward a bit, then irritably yanks the tether the other way with a jerk of her arm.]

I'm not interested.

If you're so good at mimicry, you should have been the one to embarrass yourself when we got to Loegres.

[Wow, is she still bitter about that? Yes. Very yes.]

[hydrostorm]

H-Hey!

[ don't bring that up. don't be salty. her hand that isn't awkwardly tethered falls to her hip and she tries to muster up the most off put pout she can. it's difficult. ]

It's a new power. I'm constantly learning more and more, after all! [ but that sparks a thought and her look turns a bit predatory. ]

Say Velvet dear... what's your new power anyway?

[allconsumed]

[Oh! Oh. Mimicry is really her power? That does cut the number of lies down to roughly half of her claims, by Velvet's estimation.

Speaking of lies, she could easily offer one in response to Magilou's question. She considers it, then decides against. If they get into a fight, it might be useful for her to know.]

I can heal myself by consuming blood. It has to be from a living thing.

Haven't tried it on a person yet, but – [she flexes her fingers] – my wrist is feeling sore.

[hydrostorm]

[ .......

come again? she blinks thrice and almost laughs. almost. except velvet doesn't look like she's joking. there's nothing smug about her expression and she's even though to mention her wrist.

huh. well. the more you know! ]

Oho! A real life vampire. How exciting! [ if she's put off at all, it's impossible to tell. the leer is very visible, though. she's doing that over dramatic leaning closer again. ] They say witch blood is sweet but who knows! Maybe it's bitter like my poor little soul.
