lunaecalamitas | 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.

[Ahito doesn't look thrilled to be dragged along, but once he sees they're headed North he'll apply a spell to himself to ward off that frigid cold.]

Anyone need a spell to stay warm?

[The other Norths have it covered he figures, but they have wizards representing other lands, so - might as well put the offer out there.]

I'm not used to this area, so... I'll take one.

[ He's only been to North very sparingly, after all. He doesn't like the cold. ]

[Going to place a hand on Kurapika's shoulder briefly, focusing.]

The End of the World.

[Just to make sure it holds. It's more of a ward than a heating spell; the cold and the wind won't bite at his flesh, but generating his own body heat won't overheat him in his chosen outfit, either.]

[ Ah, already the wind is a lot easier to manage and he doesn't feel that bone-deep chill anymore. ]

Thank you.

No problem. I think all of us representing the north have probably been practicing.

[At least he sure HOPES they have, assuming they aren't already an abominal snowman with resistance to cold.]

[overhearing that:]

'Course I have been! Though it helps that vampires are naturally pretty good in the cold.

[so you're the only normal north here, ahito.]

Lucky you. I had to start from scratch.

You've come pretty far to be able to help the others out! Thanks for that.

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

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

I'm sure we'll be fine!

[...ithaqua and solomon, though.]

...Maybe.

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

Sure thing.

[ They have this outfit! But it doesn't hurt to have the spell just in case. ]

[Don't mind if he places a hand briefly on your shoulder, Comet.]

The End of the World.

[Just to make sure it holds. It's more of a ward than a heating spell; the cold and the wind won't bite at their flesh, but generating their own body heat won't overheat them in their chosen outfit, either.]

[ ignore the accidental tag send, Comet's very happy at the ward and sure that it holds. ]

It's appreciated. When did you learn this?

Edited 2024-05-17 19:48 (UTC)

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

That's smart.

[ speaking of... ]

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

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

Can I ask what it is?

Yeah, it's not like it's anything special.

I was just planning to ask a member of the east for some advice once they recover. Curses are supposed to be their specialty, after all.

Outcursing it...?

[ They cannot pass judgment on that when these things sure have caused problems. ]

Curses and blessings are two sides of the same coin, so I figured it might be worth looking into.

I wouldn't say no.

[ Always happy to have more help! ]

[Then he'll go ahead and rest a hand briefly on Jing Yuan's shoulder.]

The End of the World.

[It's more of a ward than a heating spell; the cold and the wind won't bite at his flesh, but generating his own body heat won't overheat him in his chosen outfit, either.]

[ This is so funny because Jing Yuan is, uh, 6'3. So if he needs to stand on tippytoes or needs help with leverage, he will assist with that briefly or smth. ]

I appreciate your assistance.

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

It's probably good practice anyway.
