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.

. . . way to frontload with the heavy stuff . . .

[he is a little bit amused]

[ was it really that heavy? ]

Hey, I said I got back in, didn't I?

It was the 'meeting God' part that's bound to throw everyone off at least for a moment.

[not that he has room to talk much about that, but, you know. actually, as he looks around the motley crew assembled here, he has to amend that statement]

Okay, maybe not everyone.

You don't seem all that thrown off.

I literally live with a dragon, my standards are really skewed . . .

[just sayin]

Speaking of icebreakers, how did you meet Geir, anyway? That should be an interesting story.

Oh . . . I told you I was researching how to end the world . . .

[keeping his voice light is a strain, but he manages it for now]

I called on him to do it.

Sooo...

[ jude glances around, then looks back at vern with a small smile. right. he's a supervillain, he forgot. ]

Did it work? The whole ending the world thing?

[. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . okay immaturity wins out again. scowls]

It could.

[fear him, he is the night]

It could.

[ jude's smile brightens. ]

Well, I'll be waiting. I guess I won't have the chance to say goodbye, though.

[tries to fold his arms, and fails entirely, since one arm is chained to Jude and the other arm is chained to someone else; lowers his head instead, using his hair as a bit of a shield]

Small gods, why are you always so smiley? I can't even tell if you're taking what I say seriously or not.

[ jude straightens out his smile into a thin line. see, he can do it. ]

I'm taking what you're saying perfectly seriously.

[ see? look how serious he is. ]

[squints at him suspiciously, like, does Jude actually FEEL serious right now, or are his emotions suggesting something else...?]

[ 100% serious.

that's why, after a suspended staring contest, he has to turn his head and muffle a laugh into his arm. ]

[just . . . yanks Jude's and the other party's hands up so he can bury his own face in his palms, exasperated]

Aaaaaaaaaargh.

[that's not even a groan he's just saying the word 'argh']

H-Hey!

[ despite his startled complaint, there's still laughter in his voice. ]

You know, you're really easy to get worked up. I'm starting to understand why people like teasing me so much.

[ it's fun. ]

Oh, discovering our inner bully, are we.

[JUST RESIGNED TBH it's not a serious accusation or anything, he's just grumbling]

[ his voice takes on a teasing lilt. ]

You got me. I've really just been a bully all along.

I knew it. I've revealed you for the villain you really are.

[vERN STOP TALKING]

[ he's getting deja vu here. he just had what was more or less this conversation in reverse with jay, like, two days ago. ]

And here I thought I could hide it. Where did I go wrong?

I--

[he is much more awkward than Jay, alas]

--actually, I lost track a little. A lot of aggravating things were going on there.

So I'm not only a villain, but an aggravating villain?

[ shock and awe and scandal. ]

Yes.

...

I'm not sure I'm actually learning anything more about you.

You learned that I met a God, remember? I'd say that's a pretty good start...

And what about you? All I know about you is that you're a meticulous, cunning supervillain with a dragon on your side to help you do your bidding.

Isn't that a lot of pertinent details about me? I know you're a person who met a god and can't be around cats, but . . . um, there's a lot of context missing.
