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.

Hah, yeah, we'll be just fi—

[and then he gets whacked in the back with a knife. (1)]

Oww, the hell?

[Thankfully, it is not terrible enough for him to be like, devastatingly hurt? But that smarts and would definitely have left a bruise on a non-vampire. Malice retrieves the knife and squints at it.]

Hey, watch where you're aimin' next time!

[...they literally can't and they can't hear you either...]

[ Jing Yuan's look of judgment because who throws a knife (even unsheathed) on over. ]

I see that we found the answer to what exactly they would do without us.

[ don't be like that and let the secret petty come out ]

Anyway, it seems they are fine. They just need to cross over to where we are. But, as it is, they seem to be of the opinion that it is unwise to cross over...

[ He is not going to toss the knife over. After all, do you all honestly believe that Jing Yuan, one of the seven Arbiter-Generals of the Xianzhou Alliance's Cloud Knights, also known as the Divine Foresight, and one of the Six Charioteers of the Xianzhou Luofu, would do something like that?

...

He reaches for the knife from Malice to take it and toss it right back. ]

[just bursts out laughing, here's hoping someone gets another 1 (no)]

[foresightis2020]

[ A look of amusement even if he shouldn't. A 7 is close enough, right??? ]

[annihilator]

[we'll be lucky if we get out of this forest alive tbh]

[foresightis2020]

[ so true bestie ]

[foresightis2020]

[ A real tag, tho, because they are still in this weird space awaiting the others' arrival. ]

Hmmm...I suppose we should try to retrace our steps now.

They are taking awhile.

[annihilator]

[smh y'all.]

Yeah, probably would be better if they heard from us that it's safe. C'mon.

[So hey, can we get back or are we stuck here?]

[In the world's worst game of catch, Ahito gets hit in the stomach by a knife.]

[dyingtohealyou]

[why]

[promittere]

[You know why--]

[revengier]

[ ...........

He's just going to wordlessly heal Ahito. ]

[dyingtohealyou]

It's fine, it didn't even hurt that much.

[Just the surprise of, you know getting nailed in the fuckin stomach.]

Wherever they are, I guess they're probably still alive at least.

[revengier]

That seems to be the case.

[ ... ]

Should we follow?

[dyingtohealyou]

I don't think we have many other options at this point.

Just be careful.

[jorunna]

Let's just go.

[ worst game of catch ever. ]

[revengier]

Agree.

[ Time to cross that threshold! ]
