Who: Coven Members

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.

[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!

[spaceforged]

[He shakes his head slightly and changes. His yellow eyes glow as he sits back on his back feet and offers her one metal paw.]

Alright. Let's see if this works out.

[hydrostorm]

[ you know, this may reach her top ten strangest moments. which is a real shocker. calmly, she reaches out for the paw and focuses. and waits... and all that seems to happen is her cracking open on eye to peer curiously at the metal creature. ]

Nope. Nada. Zilch.

[spaceforged]

[He watches her with glowing yellow eyes until the test ends in failure. No second horse-sized Black Lion. Shiro carefully pulls his paw back and puts it back on the ground.]

Well, it was worth a shot.

[hydrostorm]

How long are you stuck like that for?

[ she'll be serious for a second, just because she's curious. ]

[spaceforged]

Only as long as I want to be. So far I haven't found an upper limit. But I can only hold it for seventeen minutes. As I get used it that should go up.

[hydrostorm]

I see! There's really no pussy-footing with you, now is there?

[ she's giggling because wow did she just really make that pun? yes, yes she did. ]

[spaceforged]

[If lions could make faces she'd be getting an unimpressed look at that pun. Shiro returns to normal and pops his shoulder.]

It doesn't make any sense to beat around the bush about it. We'll all be working together for who knows how long. And there's no telling what sort of situations we'll face on other worlds.
