Always give without remembering

Who: Simidele, Saeri, and YOU
What: Simidele thinks he has a flawless plan to help Saeri make friends and it involves gifting runestones and/or crystals to anyone he meets! That means you, and you, and yes, even you! When she remembers to look for them he's going to be in so much trouble...
When: Last week of September
Where: All over Trench

Content Warnings: Memory issues, possible language, overeager dumbass omen shenanigans



[It had all be so unfair. He'd had plans. Saeri never celebrates her birthday and he'd had just the plan to turn that around! Only for them to even forget she had a birthday for WEEKS. And by the time she remembered--and he remembered with her--it was days later and the moment for his perfect birthday surprise had passed. He couldn't reclaim it again. How was he supposed to get Saeri more friends when she kept avoiding spending time with new people? How was he supposed to show people what she brought to the friendship table?

Then Saeri had bumped into one of her dangling bowls of runestones and knocked one out of the bowl to the ground, a cooling stone that immediately caused ice to crackle across the floor. The air around it was so cold it fogged, but the reaction was brief before the power in it faded. While Saeri grumbled and cursed, hiphopping around to avoid stepping on it before she picked it up, the inspiration struck him. The answer to their problem was right there.

Unfortunately, he had to wait...and wait. For all of two days. TWO WHOLE DAYS. For Saeri to be busy enough to not notice the noise he made getting one of the baskets down. It was filled with stones and crystals with single use runes on them. Saeri used them in her experiments as one time additives, but surely other people would find them useful?

And so he struck out. Whether slinking casually down the streets of Wilfull Machine, or flying over to one of the other districts, the strapped of the bowl tight in his teeth. If he saw someone he thought might be a good friend, he would approach them immediately, earnest and proud.]


You look like you could use some magic! My friend is giving these away, do you want one?

[Please listen to him and accept his gift! No, he doesn't know what exactly each stone done--he would if he bothered to look at them, but who has the time to look at all the runes when he was on a mission?--but they were single use. They couldn't be that dangerous, certainly. But he knew he had to get rid of all of them before Saeri realized what he did and came looking.

So he had probably an hour. Plenty of time.]


{OOC: None of these runestones or crystals are particularly powerful. They are single-use runes powered by different blood types and other magical properties. The power in them will only last for a very short while once activated or in one burst of energy. Just be careful about grabbing that lightning stone, oops. Saeri is going to be hunting Simidele down and all of the people he gave stones and crystals to.}
eudaimonikos: (would you give me)

Energy? Like this?

[One of his hands - not the one holding the rock - bursts into blue flame!]
eudaimonikos: (and I'm on that faded love)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2022-09-30 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, no protest means it must be fine to do!]

Okay.

[LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS]
eudaimonikos: (the song of god)

Ah! [Michael laughs. How fun! Aaaaand here's some lady?] It's a fog machine!
eudaimonikos: (on the way to language)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2022-09-30 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, it's a rock.

[Michael holds up the rock, watching the cat slink back from the corner of his eye. He knows the look of someone caught out when he sees it - clearly, there's more to the story here.]
eudaimonikos: (Default)

Even applying magic fire? That seemed to sort of break it up.

[That's mildly interesting, and also yeah he's just gonna completely ignore the rudeness right now!]
eudaimonikos: (proposition)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2022-10-01 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
It's sort of my thing.

[It's funny, how easily he can say that these days after having kept even the slightest hint of his natural form under wraps for so long...but it's true, he uses it a lot lately.]

Didn't want to bleed on it, anyway. You know, you should think about including instructions with those things. Or a description of what each one does.
eudaimonikos: (meno)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2022-10-02 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...sure, I guess.

[Michael doesn't really need an ice rock - fog rock? - but again! Free stuff! He'll hand it over, casting a glance from the corner of his eye towards the basket of rocks.]

Why do you make so many, if you don't trade them or anything?
eudaimonikos: (one look from you)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2022-10-04 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Neat.

[Michael's a darkblood himself, so he recognizes that ink! He looks down at his hand, flexing it thoughtfully; like he said, he's never really used his own blood for much of anything before.]

What is it you do?
eudaimonikos: (ampliative)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2022-10-04 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
No, what's your job?

[He didn't mean the stone at all, he's got that.]
eudaimonikos: (make it on the list)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2022-10-04 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
That's easily one of the top three things humans say to new humans they just met.

[It's a very common phrase!]

Golems?
eudaimonikos: (either/or)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2022-10-05 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, I guess. I don't know what kids talk about.

[He doesn't interact with young kids all that much!]

That's fun. They don't end up being people?
eudaimonikos: (a boost over heaven's gate)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2022-10-08 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah. I've got a friend back home who was supposed to be sort of an automaton of sorts. Not alive like she is now, at least.
eudaimonikos: (and I'll tell you that I am fine)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2022-10-09 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Sort of? What happened with Janet was a bit of a unique case - I wasn't, uh, really following the standard operating practices there. It wasn't exactly on purpose.

[He's glad it happened that way, but he'd sure never intended it!]
