whoops
Who: Geir, Vern & you!
Where: Shehui (various)
When: Day 196 (backdated to just before the telepathic fail hijinks)
Open/Closed: Mostly open!
i. setting it up (closed to geir)
[this is it. they've spent days discreetly smuggling a small heap of Palai bones one by one to a public park in a less-busy area of the city. with traffic drawn away from it by the festival, and minimal risk of anyone actually getting hurt, it's time to finish up their plan and place the final bones. one to be the trigger, one as bait for the monitors...
they peer down the street.]
...I think we can go.
ii. kaboom (open)
[and if you're in that sector of the city today, you're likely to hear a thunderclap of noise and see a brilliant flash of light coming from said park. Shehui citizens and visitors around you exclaim and turn to look, and you may see monitors making their way through the streets to the source...
Vern speaks telepathically through the entire coven's signets before the dust of the explosion's even settled, voice clipped and abrupt]
Vern and Geir here. If you're walking the city today, don't go near-- [he names the neighbourhood of the park.] If you're already near it, don't actually go to the park; make sure there are eyewitnesses that you weren't there at this time. You don't know anything about this, you weren't involved. All right?
iii. in the aftermath (open)
[Geir and Vern don't actually get themselves arrested; they're on the ground floor of the coven house as usual that evening, if you want to ask them questions face to face in a reasonably private space. they look kind of pleased with themselves...? mission success?]

The faster we get the magic that we're looking for, the faster that we get to leave, and since no one here seems to care for us very much that's probably better for everyone.
Even if you can't get inside of the building, you could...stand outside and look intimidating so that no one bothers us.
no subject
I'm good at that!
no subject
Do a lot of people say that? You only look scary if you're really trying.
no subject
[a little smug about that; Geir does come across as very naive, but one thing he's not particularly naive about is people being afraid of his potential power.]
Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't.
no subject
[In the strictest sense she's never met a dragon before either, but they've never struck her as particularly terrifying regardless.]
Why do you like it? During the times that you do like it, I mean.
no subject
[that one requires a pause for thought.]
It's people recognizing your strength, isn't it? In its own way.
no subject
Maybe. You can recognize strength without being scared of it, though. I admire the strength of my friends! It's what motivates me to become stronger myself. If people are afraid of your power, it seems like they think you might misuse it. And a misuse of power isn't something to be proud of.
[giving a little shrug and shaking her head--she let herself get sidetracked]
Not that there's much you can do about other people's perceptions of you. I don't think you would misuse your strength, so I'm sure I'm just over-thinking it.
