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.

Oh.

[ummmm]

It won't be like yours. Mine only has five countries and is covered in disease monsters.

[So. Yeah.]

[spaceforged]

Disease monsters??

[He pauses, thinking that over.] It definitely isn't like that. We had brought our technology to the level of exploring past the sky we could see. That's where I've been.

[He wants to ask about the monsters but if it isn't being elaborated on. He isn't pushing it.]

[lalliho]

[Hmmn. Technically they were capable of that, he thinks, unable to fathom space, but it would be incredibly difficult. Even just getting to another part of Denmark was harsh.]

That's...impressive, I guess. Impressive and weird. [And Lalli doesn't have a ton of social acumen, but enough people have asked in the past that he has to wonder if this guy wants to as well.] ...We call them trolls. The monsters. And sometimes giants and beasts.

[spaceforged]

[He hadn’t expected an answer. Giant disease monsters and five countries. He can do the math but the questions remain. How did it end up like that?]

...so outside the five countries, the world is hostile and dangerous?[IHe thinks that over one more time.]

Space is also dangerous. Some placrs are safe, but a lot of it is dangerous and filled with hostile forces. A moon can break apart as a beast. Or a storm spin on itself for who knows how many years. To name a few things we saw.

[lalliho]

[Nod-shrug? Yes, probably. He doesn't know -- he barely left Finland!]

The moon? [ALARMING...] What made her mad enough to do that?

[spaceforged]

No, it was just time for it to hatch. [He pauses, realizing how freaky that sounds.] The dust and debris that formed the moon were wrapped around a giant space egg.

[lalliho]

Formed the moon...

[what even is science]

Where was its parent...?

[spaceforged]

[Science is terrifying.]

...

I actually don't know. [It was a massive bug.] I was focused on saving the people displaced by the hatching. [Also to not die.]

[lalliho]

Mmn... I guess that makes sense...

[lives over weird scary bug, gee Lalli, you think?]

You should be careful if it comes back, though. Um, when we go home.

[spaceforged]

We will be. [That reminds him of something that's been bugging him.] Back home, how do people travel between the five countries?

[lalliho]

[Ah, well... He has to look up to the sky while he's thinking to really concentrate.]

Mostly boat, I think? That's how we got to Sweden. I didn't like it. And then we went on a thing called a train, and another kind of train. We used a care that wasn't a car for a while. It broke. Now...we're going to walk, I guess.
