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!))

[ ... he's very familiar with horticulture, thanks to a certain fluffy-haired girl that is also part of the coven. still, it's a bit jarring to see a dragon trying to plant seeds. it's almost like a childhood book come to life. ... it's kind of cute. ]

Yeah. [ a small nod, head canted to the side. ... dragon. ]

Not sure how much they'll sprout, though.

[he was expecting it but, because Geir is very large and Vern is very flimsy, he stumbles forward a step or two anyway, with a noise of amusement]

Geeeeeeir.
rootbound: (that casts a shade.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-08-18 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
[he IS kind of surprised already, in that he was NOT expecting a surprise]

What. What? What have you done now.
rootbound: (fear no weather.)

[sets the small spade he was using down and lets himself be herded in that direction, both hands up]

Okay, okay, I'm going! You're so excited.

[gives him an odd sidewise look, expression soft, and then stoops to pick it up from the dirt and see...]
rootbound: (fear no weather.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-08-18 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
[no

no!!!!

Vern's face doesn't light up all at once; it's a slow helpless spreading smile, his hands careful around the figure]

You...

[into his DUMB GENEROUS SNOUT, overcome enough that his voice comes out as a squeak]

You're ridiculous...

[ Julius is naturally drawn to plants. The fact that he turned into a tree aside, their presence had always been calming. Geir would have been joined by a blond youth wearing a cloak. He looks unassuming physically, but there's a dampened light inside him that definitely isn't human. ]

I could. How many?

[ Maybe it'll ease his restlesness a little. ]
bulletbiter: (i still don't have a happy icon)

[personal profile] bulletbiter 2017-08-18 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Julius was raised as part of the military of a ruined world. Food was made in factories, so farming was only recorded down inside history books. They were in many ways only a dream. ]

Not much, I'm afraid. But soil, seed and water should be the basics...

[ He trails off, tilting his head in contemplation before crouching down to try and seed some of the furrows. His arms are cleanly bandaged up to the wrists, but they don't really affect his careful movement. ]

[plunks down in the dirt so he can tug Geir's nose all the way into his lap. yes. yes Geir can have so much affection. he has sort of given up on trying to avoid petting him out in the open because that's really difficult]

Thank you. I don't have one for you right now, though...

[ ... huh. it's an interesting power, no doubt, and he can see how it'd come in handy, especially back on the island. ]

Sprouts, huh? ... It could work.

[ he gives a nod, the weirdness of a talking-dragon wearing off. he has a talking cat back home, this is fine. ]

Where are the seeds and I'll plant them for you.

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-19 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [ he gives it another weary look. ] Do you think it'll actually work?

[ from what akira knows of saltwater, it seems like it'll have to be pretty sophisticated in order to separate out the salt. ]

[ but.... he goes for the seeds anyway and starts placing them where indicated. ]
