[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.

Oh? You don't have any wilderness skills? I'm surprise to hear. You seem kinda prepared. Are you by chance part of the military or some kind of government official?

[She wouldn't be surprise if he was either of those. With the way, he has taken up the leadership mantle, no one without experience in leading would be able to accomplish as much as he has.]

It is fair, but we need to keep in account that not everyone will have the skills, talent, or willingness to go along to do anything they aren't used to doing. Not after the initial shock of getting kidnapped and all. We can't always assume people will be responsible neither. What if we get nobles or high class citizens that have never worked a day in their life? Do you expect them to change their ways over night? I think we need to set the example first than just expecting others to contribute. I rather they decide to help out from their sense of responsibility than pressuring them to.

[It was clear she was speaking from experience in dealing with difficult people. Nobles and high class individuals, especially. She wants to give people the benefit of the doubt and encourage them to help out. A society isn't created through force, but rather through volunteer efforts from everyone in the community.]

But, I agree. We can do that. In the long run, those with the skills to hunt, fish, and scavenge will always have an advantage over those who can't. They can always collect more food while those who can't do any of that will be unable to. Once they realize the importance of learning a skill and contribute to the group, then they'll be more willing to do just that.

I can fish a little, and hunt. But no, I'm primarily a strategist and . . . I suppose you could say something like a spy. I don't work formally for any government, though I have done work for them in the past.

[He listens carefully to everything she has to say, head tilted. When she finishes, there's a slight smile on his face.]

You're an idealist . . . you want people to choose to work of their own free will. Well, you're not wrong that some of the people who are brought here may need time to realize that helping is to their own benefit. We'll certainly provide for them, the same way we would for anyone who needed it, and hopefully in time they'll come to see things the way you do.

[drizzle]

You definitely fit the role of a strategist! After witnessing and overhearing everything you've accomplished. But I don't think I've ever met a spy before though. Are you sure it's okay to admit that?

[All said with a light tease in her tone, she couldn't help hide her concern in a way to not offend him if he was proud of his title. It won't be long until her smile changes from a playful grin to a....really weak smile because....after hearing the word "idealist", she was expecting her to berate her for it like a certain precocious fiance would.

It isn't until she realize it wasn't the case because...]

That's actually what I'm expecting to happen! After those with no skills realize the importance of team work can be in gathering materials to help us all survive as group, then they'll want to cooperate. After all, there is very little in ways of comforts here, so they won't get distracted by anything other than their need to survive. Idealistic or not, in this current state of affairs, I think it'll work out. I mean, what else is there to do on this island? If it even is one...
