BOND Campfire Friends

[overworker]

Who: Thyme and friends (everyone)
When: Day 56, evening
Where: Outside, a little ways away from the train

[ Tonight, everyone is invited to a campfire get together. While it was organized by Thyme, friends and new faces alike are welcome to join in. They have all the things you need to make some great s'mores by the fire; including some nicely trimmed sticks for all your toasting needs. ]

We thought it might be nice to get everyone who wanted to come together and tell some stories. For us, this is an official way of bonding. But in general-- I think it could be good for everyone. So it doesn't have to just be us. If you have a story, you're welcome to share it! That goes for any other fun activities you might have in mind.

[ There's plenty of open space-- room for people to improvise if they want to add to the event. ]

The important part is that everyone gets to have fun together after all. So I hope you all enjoy yourselves. If there's anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

[Eliza's distracted scribbling on a notepad and feeding the pages into the fire— every time a sheet goes in, the flames flash a different color! pink! blue! green! purple!]

Whoosh!

[overworker]

Woah! How are you doing that--?! So pretty...

[ What delightful bursts of color. ]

[holds up her notepad. it's scribbled with latin inside a circle and... an HTML hex color code?]

Magic! It's a visual effect.

[overworker]

That's a different kind of magic than what I'm used to. Arts are visually stunning, however-- they're primarily for combat use.

[Which makes them infinitely less fun.]

[bowtiedbones]

Are there any rules stopping them from being used not as intended?

[overworker]

Well, at least arts as I know them only have one use.

...that said, there are witches who can do a lot more than that. But sadly I don’t know much about it. I’ve only ever met two myself. They don’t really show themselves to humans much.

[bowtiedbones]

The big destructive ones could possibly be repurposed into mining or contruction... Are witches not humans?

[overworker]

Looking at them, you wouldn’t know they weren’t. I know I sure didn’t when I met Emma. However... from what I know, they all live in an isolated village and don’t associate with humans. I assume it’s in their bloodline but... admittedly we know very little about them.

[bowtiedbones]

Isolated humans can still be humans, but... Every time I hear something about your world it's super different from my own.

[overworker]

Eheh... well, to be fair, it’s not something I knew about until fairly recently either. Most people in our world don’t. But apparently their leader is tied to a story that was written about an ageless vampire long ago. Apparently she doesn’t age at all.

[It’s Weird.]

[bowtiedbones]

Is agelessness a thing that happens a lot in your world? Or is that rare?
