out of options for who i can be

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.

It is, isn't it? I wonder if what I gave you is of some significance, in that case.

[jorunna]

[ Bleh. But good on them maybe for having a good time up until they poofed.

Quick check of the fire pit itself then! Anything unusual or is it just burnt out like most millienials? ]

[dyingtohealyou]

[He will in fact take it with him and go see what the others are up to!]

[dyingtohealyou]

[Walking over with a small shard of crystal.]

Find anything?

[leewards]

It may be one of those things that only show its worth in certain situations. As to what situation... We shall have to see.

[revengier]

I did. I found a crystal that I gave to Ithaqua.

[ He looks at the shard in Ahito's hand. ]

Seems like you did as well.

[promittere]

[There's no remains that he can find, but as he pokes around he finds what whoever lived here has left behind. Clothes, more books, utensils, even the odd weapon or machine...

Then, in one of the buildings the furthest from the fire pits, he finds what looks like might be the source the crystals. It almost looks like an odd mirror, an elaborate golden frame encasing polished crystal, though there are several pieces missing, leaving a large crack in the middle.]

[dyingtohealyou]

Yeah, it was by that rusted out structure. It doesn't look like we'll be able to use the ramps; they just drop off completely. The inside's no go, too.

[revengier]

[ He nods. ]

I agree. Here's to hoping that it won't be a pain to use.

[promittere]

[Just burnt out! Alas. Ithaqua's found something interesting, though, so it might be time for everyone to reconvene.]

[revengier]

Would a broom up to the top work, you think?

[leewards]

[Well. If it's a puzzle piece, might as well solve it...!

So Ithaqua is going to start to stick the piece he has into the mirror to find where it may fit.]

[dyingtohealyou]

Maybe if we could use them again...

findings

[foresightis2020]

[ Okay everyone is pretty much scattered, so he raises his voice. Time to get organized, maybe, so that everyone knows what needs to be done, maybe?? ]

Hmm...has everyone managed to find anything of importance?

I managed to locate a history book of some sort.

[ Holding up the one he got. ]

[jorunna]

[ :ok_hand: ]

[revengier]

Mm... if we could, this would be a lot easier.

[ He sighs.

Any of them good at rock climbing— ]

[revengier]

I found a crystal, but I gave it to Ithaqua. It was a bit heavy for me.

[ He shoves his hands into his pockets. ]

What did you find in the book?

[annihilator]

Huh, did it have anythin' useful in it?

[Malice holds up his prize, which is a crystal like several others have gathered!]

Found this, wrapped in a black cloth!

[foresightis2020]

[ He will simply nod at this response and reply to the question: ]

It's in some kind of indecipherable language, but...it had illustrations to indicate that it was essentially a book about history. Such as having images of people, monsters, and cities alongside landcapes.

It also featured a man with short hair, in spiky armor, and wielding some sort of spear. He must be an important figure of some type.

[dyingtohealyou]

I found a small shard.

[It looks similar to the other crystals around! Just smol.]

[revengier]

Hmm... I wonder if we could look through the library at the manor and find someone similar.

[ But who knows. ]

Were any of the landscapes familiar to you?

[foresightis2020]

It was written in a language I didn't understand, though clearly held images about the history of various places, judging by the illustrations. That is, of people, monsters, and other things.

There was also a man with short hair and a glorious-looking spear represented a multitude of times. Though unfortunately the colors have long since faded.

[ Glancing on over at what Malice has, though. ]

...I do wonder what happens to be the purpose of these.

[promittere]

[The piece Ithaqua has found makes up most of the crack, with only a couple smaller pieces missing.]

[foresightis2020]

Another one?

[ Hmm...would you look at that. ]

We should try to figure out what their purpose is.

[leewards]

I have the answer to that. [That's said as he emerges from one of the buildings furthest from the fire pit.]

They're puzzle pieces.

[Then he beckons to Malice and Ahito in particular.]
