Selyir Mini-Event

[oi_theoi]

Who: Anyone
When: Day 53, Early Night
Where: The Common Area on Level 3
What:

[ The moment before the last rays of sunshine disappear behind the trees, when the shadows are at their longest, a misty black pedestal appears in the precise center of the common area. On the pedestal sits a simple black screen, on which scrolling words appear when you approach it. ]

Please excuse my interruption. I currently request assistance in the creation and installation of windows around the perimeter of the fourth level on this building in order to completely secure the immediate area. For this I will require multiple individuals acting within one of my domains in order to provide sufficient resources for the task. The task will not be combative, but will require you to work alongside another to complete several specified duties. Said duties will not require any individual to venture out into nature, as the personal security of residents remains top priority.

As further incentive, those whom complete the task successfully will be rewarded with a request of my own services or utilities for their keep. This includes and is in no way limited to: portals, windows, weaponry of your own function and design, armor of the same, personal and private security systems, and anything else within the capabilities laid out within the directory.

Should you agree to assist in the matter, I request your signature here. The task will begin in the morning, once the sun rises. Any questions you may have may also be left here, or I may be contacted immediately at my shrine. I thank you for your participation, if given.

[ Once the words have finished scrolling, a line appears across the screen and a black pen next to it. ]

(( IC sign-ups for Selyir's mini-event! It will begin tomorrow OOCly and last roughly until Monday or so. This will be an event that partners your character with another, with a priority to pairings of characters that have not interacted before ICly, but if you have any special requests (such as a certain pairing you want) you can leave a comment when you do your sign-in. Feel free to use this post as a general reaction/mingle post as a new one specifically for the start of the event will go up tomorrow! ))

Y'really expect me t'sit in one spot if I can move 'round instead?

[devotedtothecore]

...I suppose it was too much to ask.

[followthewind]

Well if you wanna deal with me like that again, I'll go sit real nice an' wait for you.

[devotedtothecore]

....


[ glances aside, not looking at him ]

So you're volunteering?

[followthewind]

[takes a step back to lean against the wall]

It's somethin' to do.

[devotedtothecore]

[ stepping up to reread the scrolling words again ]

I see.

[followthewind]

[I'll just slump a bit while you do that]

Weird, ain't it? This technology shit.

[devotedtothecore]

[ yes enjoy your valiant attempt at staying upright. Touching and feeling out the screen ]

...it's certainly beyond anything any of the nations achieved.

[followthewind]

[I'm doing wonderfully tyvm]

That's an understatement.

[devotedtothecore]

Though it's entirely possible it relies little on technology, if at all.

[ picks up the pen in his left hand ]

[followthewind]

[watching him]

Looks like it does t'me.

[devotedtothecore]

It's a god's work, after all.

[ signs... ]

They have other options to draw from.

[followthewind]

No kiddin'.

[pushes off the wall, taking a moment to find his balance] C'mon, let's go for a walk.

[devotedtothecore]

[ ...puts down the pen and follows ]

[followthewind]

[heading out a bit slowly, hand to the wall every so often. Heading somewhere private-ish]

[devotedtothecore]

[ see I know your manly pride would be hurt more than it already is if I tried to offer to help you

so I guess I will just walk behind and watch your back ]

[followthewind]

[little do you know . . . once he's sure they're private, stops and turns towards him, shoulder against the wall. Totally subtly and everything]

So. You owe me some stories.

[devotedtothecore]

[ ...stops. ]

...

I suppose so, yes.

[followthewind]

[pointed look at the scars, before he glances back up at Chrys]

"Suppose" nothin'. Get started.

[devotedtothecore]

[ ...reaches up to touch the faded line on the left of his neck, briefly. ]

Where shall I start?

[followthewind]

[. . . reaches up and turns Chrys' face so he can get a better look]

Start with this.

[devotedtothecore]

[ just lets him, quiet.

sure looks like something made with a blade bigger than any craftsman's knife, and not remotely as smooth. From the front, it's barely visible, and from the side wisps of hair cover most of it, but it stretches three inches long, a jagged streak slashed over the skin. ]

...

It came from a chain-toothed saw. A work of Kokoli's.

[followthewind]

[his hands are a bit too warm when he traces a finger against it, then draws his hand back, putting it to the wall as he sways a bit]

Who?

[devotedtothecore]

Kokoli. The Masked One.

[ looks at him in what might be a You Should Know This way except with 100x less emotion than it normally would be ]

[followthewind]

[the return look is the sort you'd see just before he punched someone for playing with words :x]

By who's hand was it done, Chrysos.
