Who: Coven Members

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.

I know. I'll have to harden my heart, to prepare you for the cruelties of reality someday.

[actus]

Don't change yourself on account of me. You're perfect the way you are.

[ akira why. ]

[sealeted]

What a pity your tongue doesn't catch fire whenever you spit out a line like that.

[actus]

You think it's a lie?

[sealeted]

I called it a line.

[That's not what he asked, Hakuno.]

[actus]

Which implies deceit. ... Sometimes.

[ akira blinks. ]

[sealeted]

Do you lie when you feed a woman a line, Akira Kurusu?

[actus]

[ ??????? ]

I don't. A lot of people do.

[ a blink. ]

It wasn't a line.

[sealeted]

Is it, or is it not, a sentence men frequently use to flirt with women?

1/3

[actus]

It is.

2/3

[actus]

... but I'm not flirting with you.

3/3

[actus]

I'm pretty sure my boyfriend would hit me.

[sealeted]

Then it counts as a line, even if you're not using it that way. A pun versus a cliche.

[She looks at him.]

You're so flippant I can't tell if you actually have a romantic partner, or you're talking about your cat again.

[actus]

Or it's not a line or a pun but just the truth.

[ he shrugs. ...conveniently ignoring that last bit. ]

[sealeted]

Does telling the truth keep your fingers safe if it also sounds like a pun?

[actus]

Don't think so?

[sealeted]

Haven't tested it?

[actus]

I probably have but didn't notice anything weird.

[sealeted]

Huh. So that means you have to be consciously corny to get a spark.

[actus]

Which is most of the time.

[sealeted]

You said it, not me.

[actus]

And I was about to call you my friend, too.

[sealeted]

Your friends don't call you corny?

[actus]

... Sometimes they do.

[sealeted]

Well, there you go.
