Day 134(+135?) | Dry Lightning

[stormsinbraids]

Who: Tris, Briar, Rosethorn, and EVERYONE IN BASTION. Yes. All of you. Including the dragon. They will find you c:
OPEN
Where: All over the bastion. There will be a note on the monument, then Tris/Briar/Rosethorn may just come find your character (If that is all right-)
When: Day 134, (135 if needed-)
What: After the events of that gathering and the arrival of one of their teachers, the Winding Circle mages think everyone needs to meditate. Its a good idea. It will help. Really. And no, they don't plan on giving much of a choice.
Format: Will match!
Warnings: Will edit if any are needed!


It starts with a plate of cookies (The ones Tris pretty much always makes), and a piece of paper stuck out by the monument. The paper shows a figure, with an upset face and leaking lines of some sort, then the figure settled in a circle in what should be a fairly standard meditation seat, then the figure again, although this time with a smile and no leaking lines. Completely clear, right?

It gets a little more vague. This looks like the shape of the Bastion, with a bunch of figures in it. One even looks like a dragon. The figures are all inside a circle right after that. Is that clear? No?

Well, there are three mages looking to talk to the residents of the Bastion today. Tris, Briar, or Rosethorn can explain. And they intend to explain to everyone why its a good idea.


(OOC: You can : Pick a location and a mage (in the headline) if you prefer one, or just a location and whoever is on will jump at you.

Monument - any

[gianthobo]

AZ has, by now, set up a small camp for himself and his Pokemon by the western ranch and farmland. It's not as if they need much - AZ has gathered some grass for a pillow and his jacket keeps him warm enough.

Still, he makes his usual rounds for the day, and eventually comes across the monument and its drawing. The cookies look inviting, but he hasn't been specifically offered any, so he keeps his hands to himself. Floette floats just above his shoulder, and they both examine the drawing.

... It's a little hard to miss them, given his massive height.

Rosethorn is impressed by the restraint, and as she gets closer she notices the lingering smell of grass. The smell of plants on someone usually bodes well. Distracted momentarily by Floette, her gaze lingers on the Pokemon before she looks way way up at AZ to address him. There are so many things she's never encountered before. Rosethorn hasn't entirely gotten over the wonder in it despite her homesickness. Tris's living glass dragon Chime is a prime example; even from her own world, there are new things she's found since coming here. Questions about Floette can wait, though. "You can eat them, but the drawing shows what we're asking in exchange. Have you heard of meditation?"

Don't think for a minute that he'll escape without hearing.

AZ looks down at her, and nods slowly. "I have. But it isn't something I do much on my own."

He's tried - but all that ever comes to him is the suffering of his people, his own anger, and images of the desolation he caused.

I'm so sorry about the wait.

"Any reason in particular you want to avoid it?" She supposes there are legitimate reasons, but there are also people who simply don't have the patience or were never taught properly.

No worries. <3

"... I've had more than enough time to think on things. Setting aside time to try to clear my mind of them doesn't help. They aren't things so easily pushed aside."

The Pokemon at his shoulder reaches out to pat his cheek a little, but doesn't say anything.
