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.

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. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

[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.]

[revengier]

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

Thank you.

[dyingtohealyou]

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.]

[annihilator]

[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.]

[dyingtohealyou]

Lucky you. I had to start from scratch.

[annihilator]

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

[dyingtohealyou]

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

[annihilator]

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

I'm sure we'll be fine!

[...ithaqua and solomon, though.]

...Maybe.

[dyingtohealyou]

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

[annihilator]

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

[dyingtohealyou]

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

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

[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...

[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.

[dyingtohealyou]

Maybe a barrier that purifies any air that enters? ...It'd be better with a southern wizard though.

[He says, while Comet is Right There.]

[jorunna]

Can do, my specialty back home.

[ Basically they'll do what they tried in the South, focusing on the air to be pure within the implied bubble. Will move it with them too. ]
