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.

[Oh. Hm.]

Aether is what all living things are made of, and the manipulation of aether can cause various effects, forming the building blocks of all magics.

[,,,]

Though not all stars call it the same thing, and there are other forms of unseeable energy out there, it could be entirely possible it's not a concept you are familiar with or that is relevant to a place such as this.

[leewards]

[Actually, wait, that is interesting.]

If aether is the foundation of life and magic... then should it not be present? Otherwise, you and I would be quite dead by now and... [He raises a clawed hand and flexes his fingers.] I am assuredly alive.

Perhaps you're still adjusting to this new world, or you've not completely woken up yet. [Or maybe it's just a side effect of being in this strangr space.]

[erythropoiesis]

It should be, and it's possible it is but hard to sense with everything going on right now...

[They're definitely still alive! So what gives?

Ah, the mysteries and joys of being dragged to new worlds.]

[leewards]

Given circumstances... Perhaps it's it we remove you from this place, heheh.

[Now he straightens up, and stretches.]

[erythropoiesis]

Yes, it... probably is best we head out of here. This chill is... quite bracing.

[His poor ears are quite sensitive...]

[leewards]

Ah, yes, we are in the Northern Country, the coldest place in the world. Heheh.

Are you familiar with warming spells?

[erythropoiesis]

No, I can't say that I've much experience with that, but it sounds so much more convenient than simply relying on coats and heaters to keep warm.

[He's going to have to figure that out ASAP even if he has little reason to hang out in the cold...]

[leewards]

Unfortunately, I've no need for such things, so I don't know a spell.

[He looks over at the others, and then gives a nod.]

Perhaps the others know, so they can assist you.
