Who: Anyone
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 41
Open/Closed: Open! Geir will tag responses to B only, but feel free to use any or all of these prompts for your own shenanigans ☆


A (the rain in Spain falls mainly on the...)

[you know that the strange seawater rainstorm at the festival two days ago flooded out the marketplace and part of the city. the question is, how far did that rain fall over the hard, sandy soil that surrounds the city of Aimintas? what kind of erosion happened? perhaps you have a hankering to go out and see the effect that the water had on the crags outside the city, or the humid plains covered with native plants. there are four directions to explore, north, south, east, and west: which way will you go and how will you get there? fliers and adventurers, take notice!]


B (how does your garden grow?)

[Geir, at least, is more worried about the plants in the farmed area. he doesn't know much about plants, but he has a vague idea that sowing fields with salt is something one does to one's enemies. since these plants are irrigated with freshwater, more salt rain is not likely to go well for them.

right now he's glaring at a small plot he's dug out out with his talons. he's seeded some of the bark from the strange shrubby filtration plant into it, trying to check if that will help the soil deal with the salt water, but he's run into a problem: there are no plants there yet.]

--can you plant seeds? My claws aren't small enough.


C (after the storm)

[the festival aside, there was a lot of damage to the Palai city -- like, a lot. so many bloody fights happened in the streets, so many powers got deployed, so many giant fish landed on buildings... the damage is considerable, and now that they've buried their dead and celebrated their victories, the Palai who aren't making weapons are out and about repairing their city instead. any characters who show an inclination to help are promptly given piles of bricks and mortar and wooden planks, though they might want to ask each other or the Palai for help and direction to repair things...]


D (rain rain go away)

[there are a lot of different reasons to go swimming in the strange overhead ocean right now. maybe you're trying to find out why the rain fell from it a couple of days ago, or maybe you're checking to see what the frozen Uvi fortress looks like. maybe you even want to go visit the strange island above the waves again -- who knows what there is to find?

or maybe you just want to go wrestle sharks in there. go wrestle those sharks, no one's judging.]


E (free fall)

[come up with your own prompt and run with it!]


((quick links -- the world doc is here for ideas. if your characters want to try something cool and you need mod input, comment here with your question, and if your characters go ahead and do the cool thing, let the mods know here!))

Hey...hey.

[squeezes both arms around Geir's huge snout. he's got him.]

[personal profile] imsorey 2017-08-22 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
So you want to ask them for details on that particular story and see if we can pull some useful information from that? I'm curious about it myself, so I'll do what I can. Did you ask them something already?

[he turns to the Palai like he's half waiting for a response, his interest officially piqued]
probablynoteren: (why does he look 12 here)

D1!!

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-08-22 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
You're going to look up there?

[Lenka tilts his head at him after waiting patiently for Jake to finish his meandering sentence -- he's been rather curious about the fuss when it comes to the rain too, not to mention water from the sky seems to bode ill in a place where water is the sky. But he can't fly or teleport, at least not reliably (not reliably at all), so... he's been grounded so far.

It's frustrating, but there's also so much to deal with already at ground zero that he hadn't had as much time to think about the weather. Still.]

I guess we should. I don't know how much help I'll be, but if you know how to get up there...

[Like, he definitely has never fought underwater (fighting in rain doesn't count, right) and he is pretty sure refrigerators are harder to operate underwater. Oh boy.]

[ Julius watches with intense attention - it's actually similar to his own ability, except it requires no physical contact. ]

Are you alright?

[ Considering the strain his own magic places on him, it can't be easy. ]
bulletbiter: (i still don't have a happy icon)

[personal profile] bulletbiter 2017-08-23 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Considering that there's no physical contact, that probably explains its relatively smaller effectiveness. ]

I was given a similar type of magic. It might make them grow a bit more.

[ To make the change obvious, he means. ]

Should I use it?

[ that's an adorable power, actually, and he can't help but wonder if he's met haru. she'd love him for so many reasons. ]

Yeah. One of my best friends likes plants a lot. She started teaching me how to grow them back home.
actus: @ byob (pic#11591541)

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-24 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. She's here.

[ matchmaking time, clearly. there's a small laugh under his breath. ]

... I don't know that much. Probably about the same amount as you.
actus: @ byob (pic#11552965)

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-25 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
That makes sense.

[ on both accounts. wanting haru to give her opinion and then a few other eyes to comment on the various patches to see what is the most effective.

he knows it may be "rude" to ask, but ... ]


Are you always a dragon, or is this just your cool new power?

[ Given that he still retains some of his regeneration, it should be fine. If they're small. ]

Alright. I'll try once, to see if it works.

[ He shifts so that he can crouch down and put his hand next to the small seedlings. A moment later one shoots out a root and ingrains itself into his hand, growing visibly by the second. The plant saps his vitality in exchange for growth, but it also lessens the ever-present pain that weighs down his body. So it's a good exchange.

Peering down at the plant, he'll cease his magic after about half a minute. ]


I think it looks healthy... for now, at least.
bulletbiter: (i still don't have a happy icon)

[personal profile] bulletbiter 2017-08-26 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He knows, and he definitely did it on purpose. ]

Yes.

[ Well, he also knows that it's quite the thing of contention. It doesn't stand out as strange to him, however. ]

That was the catch to my magic. But I can replant it, I'm sure.

[ It is usually a weird thing, but it wasn't so strange for Aragami, who are essentially massive hiveminds of single-celled organisms. ]

Qri's work.

[ He'll try and gently remove the roots so that he can put them back into the soil. Once that's done, they can move. ]
doublesharp: (pic#10810934)

SORRY FOR THE WAIT, AHHH....

[personal profile] doublesharp 2017-08-27 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, wait, you're serious? You could take me flying?!

[Who cares about composure when this is something straight out of a fairytale? COUNT HIM IN.]

I mean, if you'd be totally, completely, 100% sure, that would be the best....! But I don't want to make you carry me or anything! Or like.... wait, is it hard to breathe up there?

[ Geir is quiet company, something which he appreciates greatly. Not needing to make small talk means he can focus more on the work at hand, on the plants and refining his magic to make the transfer more effective. The more the plants take, the clearer his mind becomes. ]

We can write down the instructions.

[ Or pass it on to the Palai in some other form. He isn't sure if the language here would be compatible with their own. ]

But first, we need to rest.
bulletbiter: (Default)

[personal profile] bulletbiter 2017-08-27 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's not quite sure where he should settle himself next to a large dragon, so sitting down next to the plants will do. ]

Nature is wonderful. Especially if we can help it thrive.
bulletbiter: (casually leaning on the wall nbd)

[personal profile] bulletbiter 2017-08-28 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
Not much. So I treasure the experience whenever I can.

[ A God Eater's life is spent on the battlefield. They rarely had time to pause and admire the scenery; and farming as Geir knew it was no longer feasible in his time. Given the work that Julius had to do, it would have been impossible for him to get his hands on planting at all.

In this way, this is a good form of respite. ]
