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.
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. |
no subject
[but she's never heard of a vow like that before.]
I ... well, yes, but ... you sort of make it sound like you've made a vow like that before.
no subject
[his promises with Vern sort of even out to that being the result -- if you're not willing to live without the other person, there's not much else to do but die together, if one of you sacrifices themselves. the main difference is that their mutual promises center around the end of the world, which would kill both of them.]
I don't mind talking about it, but every time I tell people lately, I get in a fight.
[that sounds so lame, but it's unfortunately a recurring problem now...]
no subject
But it sounds like you have a lot of people who care about you, too.
no subject
[he takes a breath, thinking about how best to present the case.]
...I'll just say this part. Someone really important to me and I both thought about doing something that would get both of us killed, together. And-- we couldn't do it. Not without thinking more about it first. So if it sounds to you like I'm talking about something on my mind, it's probably that...
For something like what we were thinking about doing, there's no going back from that. Either we do what we wanted, and it's all over, or we don't, and we have to think of something else. I don't... I don't know if what you're thinking about is the same. Would you really be useless if you changed? No matter what else happened? A lot more can change than we can think of from where we're standing. We're all here. I couldn't even imagine something like this a season ago.
[he's painfully honest, giving her the muddle of his own thoughts in all their unclear logical loops and whorls...]
I don't know the answer to your question, but those are the kinds of things I'm thinking about while you're talking.
no subject
[there won't be taking back either choice she makes — whether it's staying as she is and accepting the ending all magical girls have eventually, or if it's finding a way to return to how she was (enough people here seem to think it's possible, to put a soul back in a body, that she's entertaining the idea). whichever road she takes will be the final one. that's what really terrifies her most, truthfully.]
[Geir's given her a lot to think about, but there is one thing she's certain of.]
You can make that three people, if you want? I'd like to be your friend.
no subject
[Geir ducks his enormous head under one of his coils and peers at her from underneath it, radiating pleased embarrassment and shock. what? what?! where's this coming from all of a sudden?!]
Y-y...es?! Okay?!
[IS THIS HOW IT HAPPENS? ARE PEOPLE JUST ALLOWED TO WALK UP TO YOU AND BE YOUR FRIEND?]
Are you sure--?
no subject
I'm definitely sure! You're really nice, and sincere, and I think we could be really good friends.
no subject
--come here then!
[HE'S DETERMINED!]
no subject
[Madoka pushes herself to her feet, and walks on over! what is Geir planning?]
no subject
he puts his chin on the coil to look at her, confidingly.]
You looked really serious when you came over here, so if we're friends, you should try and feel better...
no subject
[and so, she beams, and offers his tail a friendly pat.]
I'll try my best, I promise. Thank you.
no subject
I don't think you have to be useless, you know. Whatever you decide.
[a mere human summoned Geir, and might have changed the whole history of their world in the process. Geir will be the last dragon to underestimate them.]
no subject
[if it's even possible to somehow undo the contract she's made, it would mean she would go back to being human. it would mean she'd be in a lot more danger in a fight — and she wouldn't have magic to back herself up. Madoka would likely have to stay behind.]
[of course, it would also mean unraveling an infinite number of universes, but details.]
no subject
[it's what he remembers a similar conversation with Kosuzu being about. it's an interesting perspective to Geir -- as someone who's always had the power to fight, he's never thought about the perspective of someone who might not have it. he can see why that would become an obsession. still, it's one that feels very far away from him -- in the wars of the gods, where death isn't a feared consequence and everyone has considerable power to simply destroy each other, subtler forms of strength are key. the power to make the results you want happen, either through your own strength or someone else's, is always what it comes back to... at least, that's what Geir's father always told him.]
no subject
[they're friends now. Madoka doesn't mind telling Geir.]
That's what I'm afraid of losing.
no subject
[it's unlikely, from Geir's experience, but he supposes stranger things have happened.]
...anyway, I know that there are lots of people who don't fight even in worlds where there's fighting all the time. Are they all useless? Or do they just find other things to do?
[it's an honest question. he has no experience with living among craftsmen, or laborers, or normal people in general. what do they do with all their time? how do they survive when they can't show strength? clearly, they have to somehow.]
