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.
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. |

[ jude puzzles over how to go about this before a metaphorical light bulb pops up. ]
How about we play a game? I tell you one thing, you tell me one thing, rinse and repeat. Good idea? Yes? No?
no subject
[raises an eyebrow, though]
You go first.
no subject
[ jude hums, thinking. it's not easy to come up with a random fact on the spot, especially an interesting one. ]
Maybe we can both ask the questions, too. Go for it. Anything you want.
no subject
[let's start with the loaded ones sure why not]
no subject
[ jude actually chokes on a laugh. wow, good one. ]
Sorry to disappoint, but I'm just a boring old human. Nothing special about me.
[ speaking of loaded questions... ]
So why did you decide that you want to destroy the world?
no subject
[maybe a little amused, though, until Jude moves on to his question
aw man does he say 'because people are bullshit and killed my family'
no the last time he tried that he made the mistake of trying it on Flynn Scifo who was entirely sympathetic and made him feel uncomfortable and like a dick for laying it on like that
also this is Jude and bluntly laying tragic backstory down doesn't seem to work that well
work that well on what, Vern? what are you trying to accomplish here? he asks himself
gods, he just doesn't know. three years on an aborted vengeance quest and it's still huge and fraught and complex in his own head but at the same time, it doesn't strictly affect anyone here as far as he knows, he might be wrong but he doesn't think anyone else here is from Midgard as he knows it, and with everyone but Geir that makes his personal situation something more distant, something examined rather than lived, and from a distance...
well, from a distance, it kind of looks like melodrama, doesn't it.
...
okay yeah maybe he'd better give a more nuanced answer]
...because the world's system is broken where I come from. Men want to join the gods in their halls, so they fight, and fight, to get there. I've never known a truce in my life or our immediate history that didn't last more than a year or two before someone stomped on it again, and the wars ruin everything they pass through. So it seemed better to...
Well, to start over. "After Ragnarok, the world resurfaces renewed and fertile."
no subject
So, if I'm not misunderstanding... you want to destroy the world for the greater good? Is that it?
[ there's no judgment in jude's tone. for once, it's hard to discern what kind of reaction there is. ]
no subject
Well, that was more or less the plan, and also more or less the fancy justification. That's not really how I thought of it day to day.
Why aren't you angry when you hear about it?
no subject
I'm just... trying to understand. Everyone has their reasons, their motives. That doesn't mean I endorse destroying the world, but I want to understand yours.
[ because... to feel this strongly about a world that has wronged him, vern must be suffering. he must be suffering a great deal. ]
no subject
It would be reasonable to be angry, I would think. But, okay.

[ jude pauses, an anxious frown tugging at his lips. ]
I'm sorry you've had to suffer so much. And thanks, for sharing all that with me. I have to admit that it's a lot to process. We'll talk again.
no subject
You're not so bad to talk to.
[and he's off]
