[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.

Ireland? Hmm...

( Excuse you while Emil makes vague hand gestures in front of himself that make no sense to anyone except him. )

That's somewhere over here, right? Around Spain and Turbo?

( He means Turkey, so like....vaguely Europe, sort of???? )

[cuchulainn]

[ kid what are you smoking ]

Don't ask me to describe it like that. Those places probably didn't exist when I was around.

[ good luck deciphering that.

and, yes, the grail provides all sorts of information to the servants it summons... but that doesn't mean he's going to instantly know the geography of the whole world.

IT'S SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE, THAT'S THE BEST HE'S GOT. ]

[enflame]

( Glad you mentioned that OOCly because: )

It's in Europe, though, right? Somewhere in there! They make emeralds there!

( That's like. All he knows about Ireland. The Chaos Emeralds live there or something. )

[cuchulainn]

[ man, it's pathetic. as much as he was attached to the land he had lived in, the most he knew about it had to do with borders, enemies, allies...

oops. ]

Don't know about the emeralds part, but yeah. That was a while ago, though. Last place I was at was nothing like it.

[enflame]

( Emil knows even less about Ireland so don't feel bad. )

Where was the last place, then? I'm sure I'll know more about that one.

[cuchulainn]

Japan. A city called Fuyuki.

[ aka: a place lancer knew even less about than places outside of ulster and it's neighbors. ]

I'm an old fashioned [ HAH ] guy, but it was about as modern as it got. I mean, it wasn't so bad, but I think I actually like it a little more here.

[enflame]

Oh. I know a few things about Japan. A lot of people from there are here!

( So weird............he wonders what that's all about......... )\

But it's strange you like an island more than a modern city. Aren't the amenities much better? Running water...actual houses to live in!?

[cuchulainn]

Really? Fancy that.

[ and look, don't question him. he just doesn't mesh with modern stuff all that well. ]

Where I was from, you didn't have any of that. It's nice though, don't get me wrong. But I don't mind getting my own food and shelter, all of that.

[ even if he was lazy sometimes. and if having a roof over your head was better than camping in the rain or something. ultimately he was cool with both, but he was better suited to this. ]

[enflame]

I just can't see how you don't mind if you know what the alternative is. I think you just got used to it, is all.

( No one should have to get used to that type of thing. Searching for your own food, building little grass hutches, digging latrines...god that's all so uncivilized. )

[cuchulainn]

It's not hard when it's what you grow up with, you know. [ can he shrug more? yes, he can. ]

I can't tell if you dislike it here or not, though.

[enflame]

Of course I dislike it. Military barracks are better. The only thing good here is that sauna building.

( At least in military barracks you know you'll go home to a real bed eventually. This hut shit sucks. )

[cuchulainn]

Eh, well, you're not really wrong.

[ hey, at least a hut was a roof over your head. ]

But things could be a lot worse. You'll just have to get used to it. At least there's plenty of people here willing to help out, yeah?

[enflame]

I suppose. It's just such a hassle!

( Having to rely on people, and then only getting subpar results after the fact...he misses that posh life so badly right now!! )

I hope whatever world we go to next has real electricity and is much more modern than this floating rock chunk.
