[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!
Where: In and around the city land of Aimintas
When: Days 13 & 14
Open/Closed: Open to All
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.
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?

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

G.
WILDCARD.
e.
Ah ... you've replaced me already? I feel betrayed.
[ he says it in deadpan, adjusting his glasses as he heads over to give the palai waiter a charming grin. ]
He's with me.
no subject
I've been bereft of your presence for far too long and the heart wants what it wants.
[ giorno is given the dessert menus, finally. he is looking at the menus and frowning at some that he doesn't recognize, until he finally sets them aside to wait for the waiter to come back, fingers lightly caressing the insect as it wraps around his fingers. ]
What are you getting?
no subject
Probably a latte.
[ he needs to compare it to the kinds he can make, okay? he wants to feel useful and victorious once again! ]
... Maybe a brownie. I'd be down for splitting something. [ because it's a "date" ]
no subject
Sure, I'm alright with it.
[ but he orders a choco pudding on the side anyway, because it's giorno's favourite and one dessert isn't really enough for two growing boys. ]
How do you like the place so far? [ giorno glances at the lizard crowd that's finally settled down after the earlier attack; the critters he'd thrown to the crowd earlier had finally returned to their original forms. ] They're a cheerful crowd. Excitable, but that's better than anything else.
no subject
It beats the crabs from the bathhouse.
[ he leans his cheek into the palm of his hand, gaze shifting from the palai to the rest of the small cafe. it's quaint. it's nice. it almost feels like a vacation, in some sense. ]
It must be fate how we keep meeting. [ he says it cooly, in deadpan, finally looking back. ]
no subject
If we were in an anime, we'd be .... in season 1 arc 1. [ whoa giorno careful with the fourth walling. ] As one of the main characters, I think I'm supposed to warn you about how I come pre-packaged with issues.
[ as soon as the cappucino comes, giorno lets his fingers cradle its warmth, smiling easily. ]
no subject
[ he greedily takes his own drink, taking a sip. a delighted look crosses his face. ]
It's not bad. I could probably make better, though.
[ easy with the modesty there, buddy. ]
no subject
As with all things, we also need a theme song. I'm from 2001. S Club 7 is a chart topper.
[ giorno raises an eyebrow at him. ] You realize I need a demonstration now! One does not simply go around claiming they can make better coffee in front of an Italian like that.
no subject
[ time paradoxes are weird. then again, so is everything else about this situation. ]
Do you think they'd mind? I'd probably get kicked out if people start swooning over my smooth blend over theirs....
no subject
[ in all seriousness: ] I'm the worst person to ask, because my immediate response would be to Follow your dreams. But put on a little show .... and you can probably get away with it.
no subject
[ he pushes up his glasses, a grin tugging onto his face as he rises up from the table and heads over to the counter. god knows what he says to the palai in order to let him go behind the counter and start looking at the blends, but it happens. he's finding something that's not too strong or bitter, but still strong. a few seconds later, he's slowly pouring heated water over small collection of beans, watching as they blossom delicately in the cup below. it's a true art form.
he comes back over in a few minutes with a cup of coffee, complete with a side of cream and sugar if giorno wants. he isn't exactly sure how he takes it, so he didn't want to presume!! ]
A Leblanc. [ gesturing to it as he sits back down. ]
> be me googling leblanc: "what is a ... league of legends??? what u tryna tell me"
[ now. now.
the first time giorno ever got introduced to his gang, he was made to drink somebody's pee. this now feels like a century ago, but even if he and akira so far had been on good terms, excuse him if he turns his teeth into jellyfish right now until further notice. it's just a precaution. you never know when someone will spring an unfortunate prank on you when here you were, minding your business and hoping that you'll become a gangstar just like the cool kids.
in any case akira did not seem to hate him. they seem to be getting along well. the coffee seems legit enough. and he had seen him prepare it, even if he wasn't entirely in his line of sight. it's small things like these which can afford him comfort, plus the fact that he has his stand again. he will never be subject to that kind of treachery ever again.
giorno inhales the coffee smell, and puts in two dollops of cream and sugar, and tastes it - ]
Oh, very good. You should be prouder of your Leblanc. [ and he means it, too. more than anything else he appreciates someone's effort to make coffee for him even if he's not actually a connoisseur or anything. the jellyfish tea is removed and he actually takes a good drink instead of the cursory sip. ] I bet it'll go well with the desserts.
i laughed so hard i'm so sorry friend
listen, akira is a prankster but he isn't gross. he respects the art of coffee and would never try and trick you like that. for shame.
still, a tiny smile creeps up on akira's face. he nods, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. it almost feels like he's being complimented by his guardian on a job well done. awesome. for some reason being able to successfully brew a delicious cup of coffee is one of those things he takes the most pride in. probably because he's an impatient person and coffee requires patience. ]
My guardian back home owns a cafe. He's famous for his coffee and curry. [ famous is a subjective word, okay. ]
im never trusting u again
Do you work there part-time? When you're not being a gentleman thief, that is.
i have earned this shame yes
[ akira, the king of part-time jobs.
he tries the desserts, grinning when the sweet taste greets his tongue. yes, good, this was exactly what he was missing on that island. while roasting your own boar had its perks, nothing truly beat a great dessert. bless this world. ]
I never asked ... what's your power?
no subject
[ as for his power, well - ] I can turn your coffee into wasps. Or your brownie into a snake. Or your bones into vines.
I suppose the best way of describing it is .... I'm a fairy godmother. [ he smiles at him. ] So you should be very nice to me. Or you'll be rolling in pumpkins and mice soon enough.
no subject
You really like pests, don't you? [ he says it entirely in deadpan, completely nonjudgemental. he goes to take another sip of his coffee, grinning over the brim of it. ]
That explains the - ah - unexpected guests today. And don't worry, I don't have any intention of treating you poorly.
[ and here he thought his power was weird. ]
(no subject)
i am still laughing how this is happening over chocolate pudding
we can always do it over abbacchio's pee instead (long may he live)
G (after our drama log)
no subject
But really, you never had the time to watch the movies? We've got all day. Let's just sit and watch as much as we can.
[ he'll be dragging her by the hand to the posters so they can start to pick which one to watch first! ] Hey, they've got something about gangs, you wanna try that?
no subject
Time and there were only like four movies I could watch in the prison lounge, and everyone liked hogging the damn television. [Not that she could blame them, considering it was prison and you either watched tv, read or played in the court during the recess hours. It wasn't exactly a place of many options.] I don't mind a gang movie. Will it be violent?
no subject
[ they have a pretty decent concession stand at the distance, as well. if ff didn't get any time for herself to watch movies, then they should go for the full experience. popcorn-munching, soda-drinking, movie-hopping experience through and through. ]
What were you in prison for? Or, well ... the girl, anyway.
no subject
She had kidnapped a child for ten days, but it's strange. She didn't hurt the child, and never made a ransom demand. As a child she wanted to be kidnapped herself, so she simply acted on those dreams. She was a painfully shy person, bullied and kicked around in the harsh system.
People are quite strange. I know all of this about her, but I can't comprehend her actions or rationalize them.
no subject
They are quite strange.
But overall, I think the one thing people dislike the most is to lack affection, however that lack may present itself in turn. The girl isn't so different that way. At least the child was returned.
You're not so bad yourself.
- anyway. What would you like to watch?
no subject
