[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.

[ damn it! you got the in before!

still, akira thinks for a solid minute before he unceremoniously reaches for emil's hand. yeah, this is going to be weird. at least they're already tethered. and at least akira is actually doing something useful for once, which is guiding emil's hand up to his signet because it's time. it's time for some mental images!

it's a cat in a bag. how impressive. ]

[enflame]

( Woah -- okay, touching him is happening. Akira...this is very sudden, especially considering where the signet is. Yikes!!

Emil's taken aback....ness. Is rewarded with a nice mental image of a cute cat in a cute bag. Worth being confused for a second! )

Oh, a black, short-haired one? I like long-haired myself, but this one's nice! It'd be useful to have a cat here, but the lizard is enough to keep me preoccupied. Not that they've been abundant here or in Aimintas, anyway.

[actus]

[ at least emil knows he wasn't trying to be creepy. trust your friend, emil. trust is good. ]

You brought Lisko back with you?

[ listen he's trying so hard to remember names and important things about his new friends. he didn't bring his own back with him, uncertain about his own ability to care for the small creature. that, and the island wasn't exactly the best for people, let alone lizards. ]

[enflame]

( Excuse him while he fawns over that image for a second. Ah, the feeling of a cats tail. Scratching their back and the little bumps in their spine under your fingers. THE TOES, THE TOE BEANS!!!

Oh, Akira said something. )

Hmm? Oh, yes. It seemed irresponsible not to. We'd already spent a lot of time together and all, too, so shaking up their routine just didn't feel right.

( Like taking them to a floating island with wild boars isn't shaking up routine but whatever. )

[actus]

[ THE TOE BEANS ARE SUPER IMPORTANT. ]

I admire that.

[ and he isn't being a sarcastic shit for once. he nods, a tiny smile creeping up on his face despite how nostalgic this conversation is. he still feels bad but at least emil is doing a good job of cheering him up. ]

How is he doing here?

[enflame]

( Akira...tell soft-senpai your woes. )

The lizard? Alright, I suppose. They like to try and electrocute anything they get their hands on, but I take that as a good sign.

[actus]

Probably a sign that they're happy, yeah.

[ he gives him a rather fond look, all things considered! ]

... I still feel bad I left mine.

[enflame]

Mm. I...wouldn't. I think the true point was just to babysit them. They gave you options after all.

( Thinking about it leaves Emil feeling a little vulnerable, not used to issues coming in shades of gray. There were really pros and cons either way. )

I wonder if it was really so okay to take Lisko...I mean, there likely won't be any other lizard creatures where we go next. They may never see someone that looks like they do ever again.

( Actually saying that out loud puts a little pang of discontent in his chest. Is it possible that maybe he, Emil Vacuumcleaner, may have decided something without thinking all of the merits through? Never. )
