out of options for who i can be

[promittere]

LIGHT UP THE FIREWORKS

Lazuli seems… agitated, this morning. Not so much in the sense that he’s irritable (because that's just normal, really), but it seems as if something has gotten under his skin. He keeps looking up, out the windows or out over the horizon, and it seems eventually he grows tired of whatever it is bothering him. He accosts whoever it is that seems to have little to do this day, gathering a group of competent (...?) wizards.

“I need you to come with me,” he says, arms crossed and a furrow between his brows. “Something’s not right, even more than things usually aren't right.”

Vague, but do you really have the option to ignore him? You can certainly try, but it won’t get you anywhere. You’re being dragged onto this impromptu excursion whether you want to go or not. Lazuli drags the group to the elevator, using a mana stone to transport everyone to the Northern tower. On the other side is the same snowy wasteland that’s always there, and nothing seems amiss no matter how hard you strain your senses. Lazuli seems to get even more tense, though, summoning and mounting his broom.

“Follow me. We can talk while we fly, but we don’t have long.”

OOC NOTES

🌙 Welcome to the mini-event! This isn't going to be anything too crazy and not likely to impact the trajectory of the game too terribly if you spend the entire thing just fucking around and finding out, so just have fun! If you play your cards right, though, you might find yourselves a new ally.

Should we find you whenever we're "done"?

[ They overheard that there's a point where Lazuli won't join them. ]

[foresightis2020]

Hmm, well...it is fortunate we'll be able to protect ourselves against it.

[ Time to use the amulet to fortify defenses...protection magic plus in our relative soon to be future. ]

A warning? About an enemy? Or something else?

[dyingtohealyou]

I just don't want to end up like the other countries' reps.

[dyingtohealyou]

Made it on my own to prepare for our own mission, whenever that happens.

[annihilator]

[trrrrrrying not to snicker, but failing miserably...]

I'm sure we'll be fine!

[...ithaqua and solomon, though.]

...Maybe.

[dyingtohealyou]

[He has a broom they can make this work one way or another mr tree.]

It's probably good practice anyway.

[dyingtohealyou]

That "maybe" is exactly why I'm practicing so much.

[meanspirited]

Yes.

[But it'll be fine... you're all capable wizards, probably, maybe.]

There's something else I need to do, is all that it is.

[meanspirited]

Unless you want to hallucinate, yes. I'm not going to make you do anything if you want to be idiots about it.

[meanspirited]

No.

[Hm.]

Don't even bother.

[annihilator]

Least we'll get some good practice today, yeah?

[revengier]

I'd rather not hallucinate, thanks.

[ But it's good to know that's what they would be doing if they didn't protect themselves, at least. ]

Why are we going there and not you?

[annihilator]

I'm guessin' it's nothin' we can help with? Can you tell us what it is?

[jorunna]

That's smart.

[ speaking of... ]

Do you have a protection spell prepared against the inevitable moon rock causing problems?

[dyingtohealyou]

Guess so. It sounds like we'll need additional wards.

[Listening in on Wanderer's talk with Jing Yuan...]

[dyingtohealyou]

...Not yet. But I do have something planned for it.

[annihilator]

[Nodding as he listens along with!!]

Yeah, that's somethin' I could use some more practice with, an' there's nothin' like practical experience to put it to the test!

[dyingtohealyou]

[Crossing his arms and gripping the broom with solely his legs for a moment in thought.]

Something to deflect toxins, huh...

[jorunna]

Can I ask what it is?

[meanspirited]

Something else.

[He gestures with one hand.]

This world is undergoing constant, rapid changes, and it's been out of balance for a very long time. Things want to be in balance, or else there wouldn't be the concept of homeostasis at all. With every change, there's a ripple, and while things are getting closer to being at balance there are still things making the world act unpredictably and chaotically.

[meanspirited]

I have other things I need to take care of. It's a multi-layered problem.

[jorunna]

Okay.

...Where are you going, then?

[annihilator]

[Malice hums in thought, head tipped slightly to the side.]

Can't say I've got much experience with that. We might have to work together on some new spell for that, if no one's tried it before.

[revengier]

Will you tell us what you're taking care of, then?

[meanspirited]

Dealing with the spirits directly, while you find whatever they're so upset about.
