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.

G'raha Tia.

[Oh... Now that he mentions it, he is kind cold.]

Ah, thank you. I owe you quite a bit for all of this.

[dyingtohealyou]

G'raha...?

[The name is so unfamiliar on his tongue.]

Where are you even from?

[erythropoiesis]

Aye. And you are?

[He has an inkling his name is confusing, since it's not like all variations of miqo'te use the same naming conventions... But he's not going to explain it because what if he gets it already!!]

[dyingtohealyou]

[He doesn't even know what the fuck a Miqo'te is.]

Oh - Ahito. A wizard representing the Northern country... in this world at least.

Which is where we are, incidentally. A pretty bad place in the Northern country.

[He's got a million other questions tbh buuuuut now probably isn't the time, so...]

I guess we'll just head back for now?

[erythropoiesis]

Northern... country.

[That's it? That's all the place is called? The country up North?]

Yes, that may be for the best.

[hooray they did it...]

[dyingtohealyou]

You- probably don't have a broom, that would be wishful thinking...

[Mostly talking to himself with that. But:]

I can give you a ride.

[erythropoiesis]

[A broom... His first thought is of the enchanted brooms Matoya uses to tidy up, but then Ahito mentions giving him a ride and it makes more sense.]

Are brooms normal for mages here?

[because Obviously ahito is a mage,]

[dyingtohealyou]

[He is and he hates it thanks.]

In this world, apparently. But magic doesn't seem to work in this area, so we'll probably need to find our way out of the forest before we can fly back.

[erythropoiesis]

Not as nice as flying carpets, but it's all well and good.

[A Corvosi flying carpet would be great right now, honestly.]

Then we should head out. I trust that you know the way out of here?

[dyingtohealyou]

[...................]

Think of it as a fun group adventure to get to know everyone here?

[Yeah. Something like that.]

Also hang on, you need another barrier before we go.

[Let's just protect the catboy from forest toxins before we walk out into said forest toxins.]

[erythropoiesis]

An adventure does sound quite nice.

[Even if the Warrior of Light isn't here... but this could be an opportunity to regale his dear friend with stories for once, instead of the other way around.

His tail lashes in excitement, but his face remains respectfully neutral.]

Is there a reason all of this protection is necessary?

[dyingtohealyou]

North is cold, forest in the north is cold and toxic.

You need a spell to protect you from each. ...Mostly because I already knew about the "cold" part but only found out about the "toxic" part earlier today.

[Probably there is a more efficient way to go about this but he can only do so much with the info he had ok!!]
