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's the forest itself that produces the toxins—the trees within it release it into the air, and it's always been like that since the forest existed, so your goal isn't to try to clear the forest of the toxins.

I've heard the hallucinations are quite nice. Dreams of what you want to see most, of what would make you happiest, which is why it's so dangerous to people who are unprepared.

Especially out in the cold like this... I'll figure out a ward before we get there.

Better think quickly, then.

But if the worst happens, use this.

[He'll toss something over toward Ahito, so he better be ready to catch it or it's going to fall a long way down.]

[dyingtohealyou]

[-!

Catching it, what did Wanderer just give him?]

[meanspirited]

[It looks like...a cloth doll? Weird!]

It's a protective talisman. If one of you is about to die, give it to them.

[dyingtohealyou]

...Thanks, I'll do that.
