[WORLD ONE | POST-UVI CELEBRATION]

Who: Coven members and Palai
Where: In and around the Aimintas marketplace
When: Day 39
Open/Closed: Open to All



After an appropriate amount of time for mourning, the Palai have shifted into a more positive mood -- they're a very resilient species, though there is a bit of a muted tone to their celebration. The whole event is a little hodge-podge, mostly because they aren't used to having to celebrate with the coven members added to the guest list.

The Palai have gathered together all of their people and have invited the coven members to a small, intimate gathering -- the purpose of the event is to thank them for their service in fighting the Uvi, and the success of freezing the Uvi in their home. While no one knows how long the Uvi will stay gone, any amount of time without the Uvi being a concern is fine by them.

The event takes place in the very center of the marketplace, with the Palai interacting on the fringes of the party throughout the rest of the large building. The coven members have time to spend by themselves, but there's room for moving around on their own and also spending time with the Palai if they so choose.

      A ▢ One of the more noticeable editions to the food the Palai have provided is a large pile of sweet, sugar dusted pastries. You may notice that something about them seems...odd, to say the least. It looks as if the pastries are vibrating slightly, but they smell divine.

      If you're so inclined to ask what the deal is, these pastries are magically infused by Eltos, which somehow gives them a sweeter flavor and enhances the sensation of tastebuds. The Palai sometimes eat these before meals in order to better the flavor of their entire spread -- though adding this energized magic to an already magical being means magic powers may be a little off kilter. Don't be surprised if suddenly your abilities go a little crazy.

      B ▢ The Palai aren't participating the party for two big reasons. One, the purpose is to celebrate the victory of coven members. The other reason, however, is one that may be more interesting to outsiders. While previously the Palai were peaceful people, happy to exist submitting to the Uvi, the coven's show of strength and valor has inspired them to be more aggressive in their approaches.

      Grown Palai can be seen working on makeshift weapons, but the idea of smaller tools like slingshots have already been constructed and almost perfected. The Palai youth have discovered these tools and are playing with them gleefully, though occasionally hitting each other -- and potentially you -- with energized, paralyzing rocks fueled with Elto energy. Watch out or you might get zapped!

      C ▢ Other Palai youth aren't as fortunate to be so distracted and happy. While fewer Palai died during this attack, the casualty number wasn't zero. Most Palai children still have at least one family member to care for them, but they're still a little disconnected from their people by means of grief. Some are milling about with the coven members, trying to eat or pester them for attention. If you're good with kids this may be more your speed, but those bad with children can find this irritating. Some Palai youth are more muted, however, content to just sit and listen to stories or eavesdrop on conversations.

      D ▢ For some people, rain isn't that big an issue -- but it certainly puts a damper (get it?) on a party. The Palai seem a bit confused by the sudden shower that comes in heavy as the evening dies down. The Palai have never experienced rain before, using irrigation systems and existing ground water as their means of hydration (both for themselves and for plants). Because the rain is coming from the ocean, the drops are large and salty, and the marketplace quickly begins to flood.

      The Palai move the party indoors for the most part, but that doesn't mean you or the food aren't already soaked. It's much warming underneath the roofs in the marketplace, but that doesn't provide much relief since the ocean rain is warm and humid.

      E ▢ Wildcard! How will your character handle this violent and volatile situation.

[ if he was kidding, his hands would be on fire. obviously!!! ]

Yeah. [ a beat. ] I didn't pick it. I just woke up with it happening.

[Xion glances over briefly, and smiles at the familiar face.]

Hello.

[A trio of Palai end up scurrying in to take cover as well, muttering in confusion. Frowning lightly, she tries to extend the borders of the umbrella a couple inches.]

I guess this doesn't happen a lot.
actus: @ bitemark (Default)

mobile decided to call him julian why

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-18 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ ah. telepathy. okay, he can roll with that. ]

You never know until you try. I don't think anyone was happy with standing by and doing nothing.

[ but that's just his personal opinion, anyway. ]

Besides... it's just rain. I think.

[ ... MORE GHOSTS. ]

I don't think this place has ghosts. Not like the mansion.

[ please stop bringing that up. anyway, he gives another glance to the area above them, a frown playing on his lips. ]

I know my friend can make barriers. Don't know if she can make one that big...
actus: @ weeknd (pic#11552959)

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-18 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
...All right.

[ ... FINE. he tries not to make that ridiculous a face when the water soaks him to the bone.

he kind of looks like a drowned rat. ]
actus: @ weekend (pic#11557669)

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-18 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
It's fine --

[ he trails off, watching the bubble of moisture. what in the world... a tilt of his head and he definitely doesn't feel as soaked before. how did - ]

That's your power? [ wait. ] I thought you had a giant key?
actus: @ byob (pic#11552946)

d.

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-18 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Erosion... like rust?

[ he's kind of just standing nearby, head tilted to the side. his gaze flicks up from waver towards the droplets of rain pelting the festival. ah. yes. he can see that. ]

[He reads the paper over, once, twice. Then he tucks it into his sylladex.]

I promise I'll try. Dimension hopping will be required, but I'll make a go at it.

[She can't help but smile awkwardly at the gratitude. She doesn't actually feel like she did that much. Just... helped how she could with a power she was barely learning.]

I'm glad I was able to help. You were one of the people who organized it, right?

[That seems much more worthy of gratitude to her.]
needmetoo: (small flustered child)

[personal profile] needmetoo 2017-08-18 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
The keyblade is something I already had.

[She had some basic spells too, but nothing impressive. She lifts the ball up, half hiding her face behind it for a second.]

This is what I got here. With the coven.

[And funnily enough it's been more useful of late.]
soulcomet: (human ◡ 'Tis finished straight)

[personal profile] soulcomet 2017-08-18 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[that's the answer she was hoping for. even if it never works, at least they'll be connected by a piece of paper. the idea that meeting again might be a possibility.]

[she'll hold onto that idea for the others, too. Madoka breathes a little sigh, relieved. she feels much better.]


... What do you think about looking for ingredients together? For that soup I was talking about.

[she lifts her hand, holding it out to him.]

[personal profile] teratias 2017-08-18 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Salt can wear stuff down, so salt water's a problem. Have you ever seen a sea wall that's been around for a while and it looks like some of the stones have been worn away?
teratias: (Default)

[personal profile] teratias 2017-08-18 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Point. [Waver deflates at that. Damnit, why did Dirk have to bring logic into it?] Think the other two would have an idea?
rootbound: (so peel away the bark.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-08-18 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
You just -- oh. Oh. Qri gave you something difficult and useless too?

[he does not have a very high opinion of her, clearly. also he is refilling the water glass and giving said hands the intense sideeye now]
rootbound: (Default)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-08-18 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[fun

fun???

what is this fun thou speakest of]

I...I guess?

[baffled; turning this idea around and trying to make it fit in his head somewhere, but not immediately succeeding]
rootandbranch: (you're here; and that means so much)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-08-18 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
...you've had fun before, right...?

[SUDDENLY... DOUBTFUL]
rootbound: (★)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-08-18 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
I, uh, sometimes...?

[it's been a really long time, but--oh, wait, wait, he's got this]

...flying's fun...
rootandbranch: (back to you.)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-08-18 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
. . . we need to do more flying.

[vERY FIRMLY]
potentite: (Default)

[personal profile] potentite 2017-08-18 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, but... [How does he put this?] Lately, I keep wishing I could go back. Um, to how things used to be? But... even if I did, the problems were still right under my nose. I just didn't acknowledge them. I don't think anything is perfect.

[That startles a laugh out of Python. Then he glances over at the kids to gauge their reactions, and shakes his head.

Could it be... Well. Worth a shot, isn't it?]


Hell of a nice trick. Maybe I can help...

[Because, hey, what's the point of getting weird magic if he can't take advantage of it, he turns invisible himself.]
rootbound: (Default)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-08-18 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[laughs into his scales, only a little shaky]

I won't say no to more flying.
rootandbranch: (and people are singing; how 'bout that!)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-08-18 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
It's a deal. ♪

[in the meantime, hanging out quietly for a while seems like a good idea]

[In Kosuzu's prophetic dream, she did see the dragon. Thanks to that, she knew that he was going to show up and ask about the sweets. Expecting it did make suddenly being faced with a dragon less terrifying, but... Well, there's a difference between dreaming something and seeing it in real life.

Accordingly, when she turns around and sees Geir, she doesn't faint or scream, but she does immediately forget whatever she was going to say and reflexively yell the first thing that came to mind while flinching.]

They might make you see the future!
rootandbranch: (oh no.)

Re: A

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-08-18 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
What?! I don't want to see the future!

[Geir jerks back from the pastry in consternation. thinking about the future has been enough of a problem for him already; he isn't interested right now!]
decipheringeye: (Books failed me)

[personal profile] decipheringeye 2017-08-18 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Neither do I! But right after eating some of those, I had a dream that predicted the future perfectly!
