[bastionpc]

Who: Everyone in the Bastion
Open: Open
When: 346-352
Where: The Bastion in general
What: This is the calm before the storm. Any last conversations with NPCs? Any last things to take care of? Do them here.
Format: action
Warnings: none so far


When you make a thread in this post, please put the names of the NPCs you want to respond in the header of the first comment.

As a note, this is also your last chance to make any changes that will affect how endgame begins. All things that help or hurt the Bastion residents will be tallied up on September 18th, and the final post will go up shortly after that. So if you want to catch the thief, form any alliances with other NPC groups, or anything else, now is the time to do it.

[Well if N is being looked for, chances are high he'll be found at the daycare. That is where he's usually found, after all.]

[twinked_witch]

Ah, N.

I have a little something for you and Hilda.

[unwrittenformula]

[N had been playing with the Cottonee that had hatched way back when, visible easily from the back yard beyond the fence. Hearing Meg, he looks up and walks over, Cottonee floating behind him.] You do?

[twinked_witch]

Yeah. Gifts for... Well, they're planned for the worst-case situation, but they have plenty of other uses.

[And Megaera passes N two pairs of two items. Unfurled, he finds two simple cloaks and two simple backpacks.]

A good bit of my old homeworld's magic permeates both of those; the cloak will keep you warm, dry, fed, watered or tea'd, and can even pop into a tent. The bag simply holds more on the inside than out, and absorbs the weight of what's within.

Don't put anything that's uncovered and sharp or that needs air in the bag, though.

[unwrittenformula]

[That earns a raised eyebrow, but he admires the items anyway, curious as to what this was all about.] Any particular reason for this? Other than 'worse case situation'?

[twinked_witch]

A bit of peace of mind, a form of a wedding gift... And just in case the time for a journey approaches whenever, even if things are going well.

[unwrittenformula]

Ah...

[Word does get around quick here, doesn't it?]

Thank you for that...

[twinked_witch]

[Megaera chuckles. Is it possible she didn't know about the wedding before now and it was just a joke? Probably not.]

I want to do what I can, and for now, this is one of the best things I can think of.

[unwrittenformula]

[Doubtful. Everyone probably new by now.]

It's very practical, I'll give you that.

[twinked_witch]

... And sub-fashionable as-is, but it's how the items were back in my world, so...

[unwrittenformula]

I'm not one to care about fashion even normal times.

[twinked_witch]

[Megaera shrugs. She's... Very distinctively dressed still, and she pointedly doesn't have either item on her.]

Yeah, you and Hilda seem to be very much the practical sorts.

[unwrittenformula]

It's the nature of trainers to be practical, especially when so much of their life revolves around traveling from place to place. [He's not really including himself in the "trainers" part of that, but his life after leaving the castle did have similar elements.]

[twinked_witch]

Precisely. There's better luxuries in some places, sure, but a thing that provides the basic essentials to live... Well, in good or bad, that's useful.

[unwrittenformula]

It is. Yes. Thank you.

[twinked_witch]

Enjoy. I'd... Best get onwards with things.

[unwrittenformula]

Right. Thank you again for the gift.
