[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.

[teratias]

Well, that's true. [Waver was still not sure how to react to any of that.]

Your servant's....interesting.

[sealeted]

He's certainly something, alright.

[She rubs the back of her head.]

What interested you in particular?

[teratias]

Mostly he got huffy that when he asked me to tell you I was looking for you, I suggested he use the telepathic network instead.

[sealeted]

Well, he doesn't like standing out that much, but he probably also felt a little silly for not thinking of it himself.

[teratias]

[...Okay, Waver can relate to that second part.]

...Well, it's kind of hard not to stand out when one's a servant.

[sealeted]

Not for him.

[His whole Noble Phantasm involves subterfuge, but Robin would get grumpy if she spilled about that.]

[teratias]

That's something I'll take your word on. [He isn't about to pry, that's for sure.]

Does all of this mean you're free from those dumb shackles yet?

[sealeted]

Yep. What about you?

[teratias]

[Let's say he has a thread even though I'm not making one due to leaving for vacation soon.]

Hm.

[He pauses, given a tug and....]

Looks it.

[sealeted]

That's good.

[She grins. It's always nice to see Waver in a good mood.]

Oh, by the way, why was I being looked for? Or when, I guess.

[teratias]

...Honestly, he didn't say. It was back when we were with the Palai, at any rate.

[More importantly:]

How much of the island have you checked out so far?

[sealeted]

Not much at all. Vern is going to help me make some sandals later on today, though!

[teratias]

Jeez, no lizard was willing to give you shoes?

[sealeted]

Well, they were, but they'd still have to make them from scratch. There wasn't enough time.

[teratias]

[Waver nods. That's fair.]

Well, after you get those settled, would you uh...do you wanna go exploring together or something?

[He's not blushing. He is not.]

[sealeted]

I'd love to. Have you looked around much yet?

[teratias]

Well, last time I found an old field which had grapes that tasted like meat growing in it. I was thinking of going beyond that area, just to see what's there.

[sealeted]

Maybe you'll find birds that taste like peaches next!

[teratias]

Yeah, that seems like the right level of weirdness for this place.

[sealeted]

...actually, would wine from those grapes taste rancid or like cooked meat...?

[teratias]

I....

I don't know. I don't know if we should find out.

[sealeted]

Are we prepared to meddle in forces we don't yet understand?

[teratias]

We'd need baskets to carry enough grapes to even mush them up, first of all.

[sealeted]

And then a barrel to seal the juice into, among other things...

[teratias]

We could just try making the juice to begin with. Two baskets and a bucket would be enough to see what comes of the juice.
