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 nod of her head.]

I'm going to try my best to keep an open mind and expect the unexpected for as long as I remain here.

[After all, she was a rain summoner, her duties are to protect everyone and help them in anyway she can. She wasn't a warrior type, but she did have the power to reach people's hearts and make their burdens her own. It's her job to do this even without her rain summoning abilities.]

Not entirely, but it isn't an incorrect guess. I can create ice as long as I have enough water and the correct components to make it happen. My powers are related to the weather and winds. Rain, especially.

[Along with controlling the thunder/lightning and summoning storms if she wishes for it. Which she won't. She much prefer create rain, fog, clouds, and all sorts of rainbows.]

[alphonse]

I think I understand.

[Manipulation of elements already present is similar enough to alchemy for him to grasp the concept, he thinks. Compared to a lot of the magic he's heard about here, hers sounds pretty sensible.]

Is it something you had to study or are abilities like that something people are born with where you're from?

[drizzle]

Both, actually. Everyone in my family is born with the skills needed to summon those elements. Learning to control it, however, is something all the children are trained for. It's our primary lessons.

We're expected to know how to summon and manipulate it upon our fifth birthday.

There are children that can do it and others that need more training or never had the talent to do it in the first place.

[Now, where Nike lies in the scale between talent and hard work, it falls upon the latter than former.]
