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.

[ He's gonna be looking around the buildings... anyone inside of them? ]

[promittere]

[There is nobody inside of the buildings, all of them quite empty, but in one of the videos he does seen another blue crystal, similar to the one Malice found but a bit larger in size.]

[revengier]

[ Oh!! Can he pick this one up, or is it too big?

...But before he tries to pick it up, he's gonna make sure it's not cursed first— ]

[promittere]

[He can pick it up! It's larger, and a bit heavy, but it's not unwieldy by any stretch, nor does it seemed to be cursed or have any magical signature at all.

And like the piece Malice found, it looks like it is missing pieces.]

[revengier]

[ Time to lug around this rock, he guesses... Kurapika isn't really muscular though, so he's having a bit of trouble carrying this around.

He spots Ithaqua walking around and— ]

Hey. Take this.

[leewards]

[To which Ithaqua notices even with his sniffing around. He just didn't bother doing anything until Kurapika outright approaches--]

Bit too heavy for you? [Look, he can't judge people's strength by their looks because, look at him, but...

He's noticed that he's the most fit out of everyone here.

So he takes the crystal anyway and tilts his head at it.]

I do hope you made sure it's not cursed before passing it on to me.

1/2

[revengier]

[ He looks a bit relieved when Ithaqua takes it. Honestly, Kurapika is really only built for moving like a gymnast, not lifting and carrying heavy rocks. ]

Too late. You're cursed now.

[revengier]

[ He smiles. ]

Just kidding. I checked before I even thought about approaching it.

[leewards]

[If his mask wasn't on, Kurapika would have seen him rolling his eyes.]

Still, too heavy for you. Ah well, I suppose I shall be the pack mule. All of you are lacking in strength.

[revengier]

My strength lies in my stamina.

[ Unfortunately, he only has very light muscle on his arms. ]

Thanks for taking it.

[leewards]

If you had stamina, you would have been able to carry this.

[He tosses it up and down once to make a point.]

In any case, what else have you found from this?

[revengier]

Don't be a showoff.

[ He rolls his eyes. ]

This was all I saw looking through the buildings.

[leewards]

Hmm. Strange, then, that only these few trinkets survived whatever it is that happened here.

[Which he was trying to find out.]

[revengier]

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

[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]

[ He nods. ]

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

[dyingtohealyou]

[Walking over with a small shard of crystal.]

Find anything?

[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.

[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]

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

[dyingtohealyou]

Maybe if we could use them again...

[revengier]

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

[ He sighs.

Any of them good at rock climbing— ]

[dyingtohealyou]

Let's look for other options first.
