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.

I've talked about her a lot, haven't I?

[ a sheepish laugh. ]

Sorry. I know I can get carried away, but... she is a good person, you're right.

[bulletbiter]

[ It draws a slight smile from him as well - slight, but still noticeable. ]

Any world would be fortunate to have that kind of person.

[ Really, he doesn't mind listening to Jude talk. He's not one for many words himself. ]

How have you been these few days? I haven't been around a lot, I apologize for that.

[talim]

[ jude's expression softens. ]

Don't apologize. Everyone's been more or less caught up in their own thing since the move from Aimintas. It's not like I've been around much, either.

But I'm... good.

[ he means that. there's a pause. ]

I've been spending most of my time with 9S. Exploring and such.

[bulletbiter]

[ The mention of 9S brings to mind the conversation that he had with the android a while back. They seem to be good friends on this front, so he would not worry about it too much. ]

That does sound interesting. What did you find?

[talim]

We found some strawberries that can be planted and harvested, for starters... but there was another trip we wasted entirely because I decided to go and sprain my ankle.

[ a sheepish laugh. ]

Don't worry; I was able to get somewhere to wrap it up.

[bulletbiter]

I hope you're feeling better now.

[ It's said with frankness; it was an accident after all and he's not going to judge Jude for it. ]

Were those strawberries... like those you found at home?

[talim]

I am. Thank you.

[ in a way, jude can appreciate that frankness of julius'. ]

Well, not exactly... They were white, which was a little odd. They tasted the same, though. Definitely edible.

[bulletbiter]

[ That draws attention to a thought he's been having since day one: ]

I find it a little odd that we can find things that are familiar to us, here. If it is intended to be another world, then it should have its own wildlife.

[talim]

Really? I think there are just as many differences as there are similarities... it strikes me as a pretty even balance. I mean, the Palai and their world were wholly unfamiliar to us.
