[WORLD ONE] AIMINTAS (INTRODUCTION)

Who: The coven & Palai people
Where: In and around the city land of Aimintas
When: Days 13 & 14
Open/Closed: Open to All



  • The initial setting information found here should be utilized for threads here.
  • There's no official OOC account for the Palai people. You're free to roleplay their actions and reactions on your own, as in depth as you want -- asking questions, hand-waved interactions, becoming best friends. The new world is your oyster!



    Just like how you arrived, the process of leaving the hub and reappearing somewhere else is quite quick and uneventful. Brie and Genette gather as many people as possible so that everyone can explore the new world together in a group, which is where they all land once Qri has worked her magic. If you weren't in the vicinity, or thought that not being social meant you'd get to stay on the island, you come along as well, though you didn't exactly show up with the group.

        A ▢ Everyone starts their journey a reasonable distance from the outer city walls of Aimintas. It's about a four hour trek to the rocks on foot, which Genette tells everyone to move towards -- though you're free to do as you please. You may discover that traveling on your own too far away results in something quite unpleasant.

        The initial terrain is quite interesting -- it's at least different from the hub island, though you may not be particularly impressed. There's sticky kelp to step in, water in the sky to look at and sand to get stuck in every orifice of your body. How do you like the new digs thus far?

        B ▢ Genette explains that the gang must enter the city of Aimintas to survive, but it's easier said than done. Maybe as something of an incentive, Genette climbs into Qri's caravan and it floats away, over the rock face. There go all the supplies you brought!

        The rest of you losers will have to climb through the craggy rock walls, hundreds of feet tall with very few crevices and cracks that are navigable. Hope you can climb...or maybe you can find a way to get through using someone's magic?


    The sun sets while the coven is busy trying to get through the craggy infrastructure (at least, that's the fate of those who don't find a quicker way to get into the city). Brie locates a large cave in one of the rocks, and that's where everyone sets up camp for the night. If you want to carry on, that's your choice...but who knows if anything that goes bump in the night is out there bumping in the night time?

        C ▢ What will your character be doing tonight? Sleeping on a hard rock? Stuck awake? Even if they do manage to fall asleep, they may be haunted by the occasional high pitched screech that comes through the night, though the location of the noise is unknown as of right now.




    It takes about a day to travel to Aimintas, climb through the rocks and come into the city. Thankfully the city hub is close to the side of the city the coven managed to climb through, so civilization is awaiting. That civilization is decently modern, lizard-like and very, very nosy.

        D ▢ Upon entering civilization, the Palai are immediately curious and in awe of their taller, bipedal visitors. They've only seen people like those in the coven in pictures, and if they learn that your character has magic? It'll be as if an A-list celebrity just wandered into town.

        Because they're so enamored, the Palai will readily give coven members gifts as a token of their appreciation. What exactly do they appreciate? Don't be afraid to ask a few simple questions. They'll be more than happy to give out answers.

        E ▢ Some Palai, though, will want to see some of that magic before they offer up any gifts. Some may be a little demanding, just because their curiosity is so overwhelming. A harsh no will result in an apology and a gift anyways, but maybe just show them some magic anyway...?


    Even outside of interacting with the Palai, there's quite a bit around here to look at. Genette can be found in the middle of one of the parks, handing out the stored supplies to their owners. (Don't worry, she'll tell you where she is with a little telepathic poke. Your supplies will give you access to shopping and bartering...your status as a magical humanoid thing will only get you so far.

        F ▢ The Palai marketplace is rather large and home to a variety of businesses, shops and services. Want a good night's sleep? Want to eat a delicious shrimp wrap? Need your hub technology charged? You can do that here. What strange items will you fine? Is their technology level something you're familiar with?

        G ▢ Finally, the Palai are a people of culture. That culture can be quite unforgiving to those who choose to wander around alone. Some Palai people, after the initial wonder has worn off, will deny services to people who are on their own. It just doesn't compute! Your character is better off with a group of three, but a friend is fine. Travel in groups or couples and your character will find that they get fewer strange looks and questions.




    It can be easy to get overwhelmed within the Palai marketplace, so no one will blame a coven-member for escaping the city for a bit.

    On the outside of the marketplace is a very large house with dozens of Palai congregating -- and my dozens, we mean at least 200. A Palai mate triangle just committed to each other, and this is certainly worth celebrating.

        H ▢ The guests feel blessed by the presence of a coven-member, and they readily invite any that happen by to the festivities. There's cake, alcohol, drinks, dancing. The Palai people certainly know how to get down.

        I ▢ Wildcard! How will your character interact with this new and unusual world?

    ...Hey, what are you doing screaming about like that? You're going to scare people.

    [Says F.F., wandering through the area looking for something to eat. Whatever those brightly colored and decorated things are, they sure look pretty.]

    Oh, hey Giorno. [She cocks her head at the theatrehouse, giving it a look over. She has a vague sense of what this is from her host's memory.] I never watched any movies before... well no that's not true. I watched this really funny movie by "Happy Gilmore" and it made me laugh a lot!

    [personal profile] liveinskin 2017-08-02 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
    [So she has no idea what the hell that giant fluffy thing is, but it looks cool as hell. She's just kind of staring at it in awe when he asks his question, catching her totally off-guard.]

    Um, I better not. I never rode one before, I don't want to do anything wrong to it.

    [Though her voice betrays that she's intensely interested and curious. She just doesn't want to hurt it by accident.]
    soulcomet: (human ◡ 'Tis finished straight)

    [personal profile] soulcomet 2017-08-02 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
    [she nods, and, with the utmost seriousness in her voice, as she holds the Soul Gem up so that Haru can see.]

    I'm a magical girl.
    soulcomet: (magi ◠ you gotta live)

    [personal profile] soulcomet 2017-08-02 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
    [... something about his last sentence really tickles her, and she snorts a bit.]

    That sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe once we're in town and everyone's settled, we can go together?
    soulcomet: (human ◡ hold on a second)

    [personal profile] soulcomet 2017-08-02 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
    Maybe? I have no idea ... That's kind of what I'm hoping, though.
    soulcomet: (human ◡ mind itself deludes)

    [personal profile] soulcomet 2017-08-02 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
    I think so, too.

    [there are far too many people carrying far larger burdens than they ever really deserved. if she knew, her offer to hope for him wouldn't waver.]

    [but Madoka can't escape sleep forever, and she does eventually start to doze. it probably isn't all that comfortable, but it is something.]
    rebells: side view, incredulous (disbelieving)

    [personal profile] rebells 2017-08-02 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
    It is, yes.

    [There's a funny twist to his mouth, before he moves on.]

    Reaching a peaceful resolution would obviously be preferable. They seem reasonably intelligent, if they can conduct raids.
    rebells: (belaying)

    [personal profile] rebells 2017-08-02 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
    They didn't; they've been oddly silent ever since we arrived in this place. [A little annoyed, though not at Lenka; he doesn't like being deprived of information.]

    It would help if they at least told us what they wanted us to do. But since they don't seem to be doing that, we have to decide how we'd like to deal with the Palai situation.
    parodeity: (Default)

    [personal profile] parodeity 2017-08-02 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
    So action film is the agreement?

    [ to double-check. ]
    probablynoteren: (logic comes after e7 tbh)

    [personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-08-02 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
    Since we're in their city, does that mean we're siding with the Palai...?

    [Certainly, they've been more than generous with their gifts and their rooms, so they do owe them as hosts -- and as overwhelming as the general hospitality has been Lenka doesn't mind it beyond situations where he has to throw down refrigerators and run away.

    There have been a few of those now.

    (Who is he kidding, it's not like he can just watch a raid and walk away. It may be a character flaw.)

    But if they're expected to fight, or have been put into a situation where the fight's going to be brought to them...]

    I guess we should learn more about the attackers.
    teratias: (Default)

    [personal profile] teratias 2017-08-02 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
    That's stupid that no one told you one way or another. [Waver's nose scrunches up in obvious distaste.]
    rebells: smile, amused (belle)

    [personal profile] rebells 2017-08-02 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
    Are we? We can do as we like, of course.

    [But he's more prodding at Lenka than actually raising an objection; he's concluded that given the makeup of the coven, some of them probably will try and help.]

    The Palai are the best source of information we have. Although they may not have been in a position to make a lot of observations.
    soulcomet: (human ◡ In ruin ’tis hurled)

    [personal profile] soulcomet 2017-08-02 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Madoka lucked out in that the network here isn't too different than how she communicates with fellow magical girls. still ... not used to the text messages, though.]

    Fenrir? That's a cool name... It sort of sounds like something you'd hear a secret agent say.
    puddingemote: (i don't know where i went wrong)

    [personal profile] puddingemote 2017-08-03 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
    You just surprised me!

    [Who the heck teleports around with a scythe in a crowded street anyway!? It's dangerous! Tamaki folds his arms and huffs.]

    I'm not used to people popping around like that.
    splinten: appl-juice42 @ tumblr (IT KEEPS HAPPENING)

    [personal profile] splinten 2017-08-03 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
    [Well. He does know there are odd conflicts between humans and the Radiants (??? he thinks that's the divide) so he wonders if that's been an issue as well.]

    Not necessarily an indication that they'll be willing to make peace. We could try to learn how they conduct their raids and put a stop to that.
    splinten: appl-juice42 @ tumblr (are you next?)

    [personal profile] splinten 2017-08-03 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
    Yeah, the gesture resembles snuffing a candle out.

    [deliberate misinterpreting though]

    [personal profile] billionboy 2017-08-03 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
    I wonder if when they send us back that you can come visit just for a short while? It'd be a shame for anyone not to be able to taste Tonio's food. He's also real friendly guy and probably ask million questions on what food you know so he can make his food even better.

    Maybe ya'd even get it all for free!

    [ His hand slaps the back of his neck as he ducks his head. A gentleman? Him? A street punk like him? A real nice refined lady thinks that about him? He rubs and messes up the back of his hair. ]

    Ah, I don't know what to do with a compliment like that! Thank you! Ya, a nice lady'd like you be able to get lots of free food. [ These are the compliments. ]
    parodeity: (BLANK 🎧 well shit dude)

    [personal profile] parodeity 2017-08-03 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
    For most people, anyway.

    [ like. DAVE REMEMBERS DYING SORT OF PERMANENTLY, so this is maybe better than that he guesses! ]
    parodeity: (Default)

    [personal profile] parodeity 2017-08-03 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
    [ who is the other person who called her zoro...

    ALSO WHAT THE HECK ]


    ...Nice dress.

    [ HE'S NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO SAY ]
    parodeity: silisboo @ tumblr (SNICKER 🎧 you're an idiot)

    [personal profile] parodeity 2017-08-03 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
    If your soul likes me does that mean you like me too?? Is this a confession?

    [ HE IS JOKING ]
    parodeity: nubbybuns @ tumblr (YO 🎧 you make no sense)

    [personal profile] parodeity 2017-08-03 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
    Rose and I got on a meteor? That was kind of...outside of our universe? We got there kinda via, like, uh, dyin' and there was an explosion that made a sun and yeah.
    actus: @ byob (pic#11552968)

    [personal profile] actus 2017-08-03 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
    [ WOW. ]

    What? Dude, no, that's...

    [ he shakes his head, almost face palming. listen you're cool dude, but... please stop. ]

    No.
    teratias: (02. Excited)

    [personal profile] teratias 2017-08-03 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
    [Sure. Let's go with that. Waver nods, this totally being intentional.]

    Yeah. Just sometimes the candle's got a weird shape, and is probably composed of rectangles.

    [He has gotten so damn good at rectangles.]
    parodeity: mrharrisonford @ tumblr (CHUCKLE 🎧 you knucklehead)

    [personal profile] parodeity 2017-08-03 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
    [ the problem with being super straight faced...dave laughs, though. ]

    Chill - but hey, like, how does it...work. Are you a magic user back home, too? Like, does everyone where you come from have soul buddies?
