[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
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.
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. |
we've given the machines too much power....
Yeah. We've done the best that we can.
[ expecting perfection was... well, silly, right? ]
Did you wear a suit this time?
did we not learn anything from the terminator
Yes, but this is just my business suit. My formal suit is at home.
[Jumin has. A lot of suits.]
I see you're not wearing one.
[So why isn't he?]
apparently nothing?!
Ah. Actually, I don't own one.
[ there's an almost modest twinge to his tone just then as he flicks his gaze away. listen, he's had no reason to have one, and they aren't very comfortable. his uniform is bad enough. ]
How are you comfortable?
no subject
[It's why he told Hakuno it'd be cheaper for her to be a squirrel forever.]
But they're a good investment. Everyone looks better in a suit. Don't you think so?
no subject
Mostly everyone. I'm sure there are some people that look better in something else.
[ like hippies. or something. he isn't sure where he's going with this. ]
I'm still growing, or so I've been told. Would be a waste to get one now.
no subject
A waste? The only waste I can see is a man nearly as handsome as I am who refuses to take advantage of his youth.
no subject
Ah... I'm pretty sure I'd look like a kid playing dressup than anything else.
[ he sheepishly rubs the back of his head, though, averting his gaze. ]
no subject
[aaand jumin is back on his bullshit.]
Don't look away. One who isn't aware of what they have is only half of what they're meant to be.
I'll get you a suit.
no subject
You really don't have to do that.
[ what? he doesn't need a sugar-daddy...! ]
I don't think there's a need for one around here.
[ back on this train of thought. again. ]
no subject
I didn't mean now. Don't be absurd. You'll be with the coven for a while, won't you?
no subject
[ he pauses, hand going up to fiddle with the front of his bangs again. ]
We don't really get to decide that, do we? I doubt the people that have already disappeared chose to.
[ even if everyone logically wanted to go home. ]
no subject
He folds his arms.]
... We don't choose to leave, true. We don't choose to stay, either. If not now, then I doubt we can go home anytime soon. Rather than pin our hopes in an opportunity that might never come in our lifetime, it's better to focus on the present. The present is always certain.
no subject
[ he shrugs. ]
Isn't that a little depressing? Just living in the moment and not thinking about the future?
[ says the king of #yolo. in isolation, perhaps, but just living in the present and not working towards a better tomorrow, a better future, he's learned, is problematic. ]
no subject
[Certainly, he thinks ahead for the good of his father's company. But living in the present — not dwelling on either past or future — has given him no trouble in his life. Professionally, at least. As far as he's concerned, it works.
It helps him think about other things.]
... I've never thought about that before.
[Ignore other things.]
I don't think I've ever been burdened by such emotion.
[Feeling is one thing. Understanding it is another.]
no subject
... I don't think it's much of a burden. Maybe an inconvenience, but feelings are rarely burdens. [ a beat. ] ... But that's just my opinion.
[ people have their own stories, their own blooded histories, and he learned long ago not to judge a book by its cover.
people have reasons, and so long as they aren't actively hurting anyone else, they deserve respect. ]
no subject
He stops thinking.]
Yes, well, we're all entitled to our opinions.
[He adjusts his cuffs, though there's nothing to fix.]
That's a nice bird you have there, Akira. I hope you don't think it's a burden.
no subject
[ none of his persona are a burden. perhaps the weight that's been placed on his shoulders back home is more of a burden, but he's never truly thought that. confused at times, aggravated at others, but he's never really labeled it a burden. ]
I'd say he's an asset, but that's kinda callous.
no subject
[If it was a person, that'd probably be a different story. He regards the bird with a sort of forced curiosity. If they were talking about anything else, it's been long discarded.]
Though I suppose I could use an introduction. What is it?
