WORLD ONE: AIMINTAS

You blink and that's all it takes. At first the picture doesn't come in clear, like you're waiting for a screen to fully load -- more aptly, it's like you're waiting for a camera to focus so you can find image clarity. Before you happened to rapidly close your eyes and open them, your life was normal...well, normal for you, anyway. Fighting an alien, making a quesadilla, dying. And then that blurry picture suddenly takes over... Some of you might open your eyes to find yourself wandering around a sandy area, outside of a large stone house. There's a large glimmering caravan floating around outside, which might intrigue you. There's also a lot of supplies, food, clothing...all just laying around outside. It's worth investigating, right?
- A1: Once your character touches the caravan, they can't remove their appendage from it. Kick it? Their foot is stuck. Touch it? Their hand is stuck. Lick it? Their tongue is stuck. They'll remain like this for 15 minutes without magical intervention. - A2: Your character's hand doesn't stay for long, but the caravan holds onto that hand for five seconds while giving your character a pretty excruciating burn. Medic! B ▢ Maybe they're smart and they don't touch the caravan. Let's go through all of this cool stuff on the ground! It might be sort of obvious that it belongs to someone -- a lot of someone's -- but your character is thirsty, confused...maybe there's some water or answers in this pile. And maybe there's also someone who catches your character going through their shit. |

Other new potential coven members will find themselves in a completely different part of town. These lucky individuals will have suddenly appeared in the marketplace area of Aimintas, surrounded by walking lizard beings that suddenly turn and take an immediate interest in this stranger.
On the other hand, you might learn something interesting talking to them. A friend might join in either way! D ▢ Once you break free of the Palai, you'll find that this marketplace is pretty interesting. It's a mixture of primitive and semi-modern technology...or is it totally unfamiliar to you? Never seen a cellphone before? Unfamiliar with the concept of women wearing pants? There's certainly something to see that'll interest your character here. E ▢ Finally, you might be hungry and thirsty after suddenly appearing. The Palai are masters of making food, including a new concoction of theirs that they're trying out in honor of all the new people. It's a sort of bottled fruit juice that has been energized by the Eltos. It's essentially the first Aimintas Red Bull, except on acid. The drink immediately makes anyone who drinks it extremely giddy, hyper and they may potentially hallucinate. It doesn't seem to bother the Palai's biology, but everyone else...oops! |

The setting found in Aimintas is pretty expansive, so you have a lot of room to wander around. Here are a few things that might catch your eye if you're really committed to wandering around.
G ▢ The Palai have constructed a large library in the middle of town. If you wander in here, you'll find a myriad of books in a strange language. The Palai are a rather visual people, though, so many include pictures and illustrations. They also have a collection of computers here that connect to the Aimintas internet, as well as visual media stations that can play videos -- though they're really just powered tablets that play video files. Time to get a little taste of the Palai culture. H ▢ Wildcard prompt. Go nuts and utilize your own creativity within the setting. This can mean striking out on your own or utilizing a certain location in a different way. The world is your oyster! |

You shouldn't touch that, ice princess.
[ He says that now, knowingly being unhelpful. ]
no subject
I'm trying not to! [ tug. TUG. tug. ] I didn't even mean to, I wasn't trying to take anything.
[ you try blinking into existence and keeping your balance - wait this is ruby and yang's weird uncle, he probably did that. ]
no subject
[ And no, he didn't do this to her, but he wishes he could because it's a tad hilarious watching a Schnee struggle. ]
no subject
[ why is this the family member she is stuck with where are her teammates ]
Just not a very discerning one. If you'll excuse me!
[ ............TUG. tug tug tug TUG okay come the fuck on she seriously didn't want any of your crap, caravan, ease up?? ]
no subject
[ As fun as this is, it's not like he can just leave the kid trapped like this either. ]

ii-b;
They don't seem to have much here to defend themselves with. Their weapons are mostly knives and clubs, things that can easily be made but are not the most effective. Why they don't use their technology to make better weapons is something you'll have to ask them.
no subject
They don't seem to let monthly attacks get them down in the least...at least, they all seem so happy. But they don't even have, I don't know, Hunters! Not that I can tell, anyway. I suppose it's a cultural difference, but that's too many lives lost that shouldn't have to be.
no subject
[His words are bitter. He doesn't understand how the Palai can just sit by and watch their own be killed. His home world of Destiny Island is pacifistic as well, but they don't have a group swooping down and killing villagers every month. These people aren't in a situation where they can neglect the need for basic survival skills. Including fighting.]
no subject
[ no one asked for help? and yet she is Decided. done deal. ]
no subject
[He's 100% in on this plan tho.]

It suddenly doesn't weigh an obscene amount but he's left wheezing and clutching the computer, rolling his neck to stare at her and glare lightly.]
Happens to the best of us, but a little warning next time would be nice.
no subject
[ she could like try to help him up with gravity powers but those are untested and it occurs to her that someone may not want her to use glyphs on them after she accidentally smashed them, so "here" is followed by a simple outstretched hand. ]
You have my most sincere apologies. [ sound a little less stiff, girl. ]
no subject
Thanks. [There's a grin and he immediately lets go after that, rubbing the back of his head from where he may have landed thanks to the laptop.] But don't worry too much. It's probably your new power, right? All of us have them now which is a little strange, but you'll learn to get better! ...well, probably.
no subject
I suppose it must be. [ qrow PROBABLY eventually explained, or someone else did. ] I seem to be able to change the weight of things in a certain area?
[ if she sounds uncertain that's because she is. not everyone gets strips of paper saying exactly what their powers are, SADLY...! ]

Even so...she hadn't quite expected that effect. Yang looks around, but doesn't see a glyph that could be doing this (not that she's sure there's a glyph Weiss knows that would do that anyway).]
Uh...Weiss? You feeling okay?
no subject
[ look at least she is Mostly down from it but she's still a lil smiley-er than usual. and a little floatier... ]
no subject
[Is this...is this what DRUNK Weiss is like? Because if so has YANG STRUCK GOLD. She is clearly amused by this, at least knowing that Weiss doesn't seem to be suffering any other changes. It's mostly just weird...but everything has been weird.]
No, can't say I've tried any "juice" yet. Is that what this is?
no subject
as she speaks, her feet do hit the ground again though. so there is that. ]
It was this very - fruity juice! The Palai gave some to me, you should try some! It came with those little drink umbrellas.
no subject
Well...I can't deny that I don't love a good umbrella drink. But one of us should probably keep her head.
[Yang can pass on the fun for once--plus she isn't sure she wants to get so loopy as to miss out on the fun of happy fruit juice Weiss. It's just too perfect.]
Maybe next time though.

iv-a
so she's not expecting to spot a familiar head of silver-white hair but IS REALLY GLAD TO? and is kind of running full tilt at weiss. ]
WEEEEIIIIII-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[ they're floating? THEY'RE FLOATING RATHER HIGH?
good news is that ruby is not able to near-tackle weiss, bad news is where is the ground going ]
no subject
OH NO ]
Ruby! What are you doing?
[ weiss you're doing it ]
no subject
[ "something" because what the heck messes with gravity?? it sounds like a semblance someone could have but neither of them do so. what. ]
We have to get back down!
no subject
[ look. LOOK. okay she reaches out her hands towards ruby. ]
We need leverage. [ SO USING TEAMWORK... ]
