driftfleet | festival day!

Who: EVERYONE
Broadcast: Up to you
Action: Everywhere in the Yadrolla system!
When: 5/30

[At last, the day has come: Festival Day! Once again, the Starstrikers have taken the trophy this year. But that doesn't mean members of other teams, or those who didn't play, can't celebrate with the rest of them!

There are parties everywhere. Ribbons, streamers, and confetti litter every major street in the system. (Remember what they say about glitter...) There is food on every block, and people cramming into shops to get in on the merch.

Don't forget about the reason for the festival-- the pet adoption drive! A large playground-type area has been set up on the Starstrikers' desert moon where people can play and interact with the lovable creatures needing new homes. Whether you're looking for companionship or just something to do, there's plenty to coo over! Every pet comes with an info card listing a fanciful name and a general description of their age and temperament. Maybe Sir Pringle the puppy or Marquess Mariana the fish can become your new best friend.

Sadly, the Fleet will be drifting in about a week... but feel free to party until then!]

[Kramm peaks his brow ridges.]

Oh? Things a little chaotic over there?

No. But I was recently made Captain and I wish to implement some change.

Oh hey - Congratulations!

[Kramm reaches over and with a heavier hand than intended (thanks booze) claps Loki on the shoulder.] So, what sorta changes you looking to make?

[ Loki blinks, surprised by the physical contact before he shies away. ]

Well, the ship itself is rather basic. I'm planning on commissioning an artist to paint some murals on the walls which I will enchant.

[Normally Kramm tries to be a little more conscientious, but the beer and the high of the party are overloading some oft he more nuanced cognitive functions.]

Oooo, enchant? You do spellcasting? [Kramm smiles wide at the thought, thinking of the Warlocks and Scorcerors and Wizards of his own world.] Like how?

How?

[ His brows furrow. ]

I use my own internal formulas to conduct magic.

Wow, that's super cool! [Something like a Scorceror, he thinks? But worlds are different so he knows it's not an exact comparison.]

You going to make like, moving pictures or or - some, effect? Like smoke?

[ He nods. ]

Correct. It will be coded to touch.

Coded? Like, a trigger sort of thing?What is it wizards say ... Activated?

[ Loki nods. ]

Like so. Certain magics react to the aura of a person.

Cooool, let me know when you're done; I'd love to check it out!

[ Loki blinks. He's not used to people being enthusiastic about his magic. ]

I — If you like.

[While magic is a pretty prevelant thing on Kramm's home, it's not something he's able to really do himself, so there's definitely a fascination with people who can.]

Great! Can't wait to see it!

[ Loki doesn't know what to make of that. ]

I doubt it will be very . . . fancy.

Eh, I'll take it. It doesn't have to be fancy to be effective, right?

[Okay he might be a little disappointed; Loki you are competing directly with magic missile here.]

The less fancy magic is, the more effective it can be.

[ Which is hilarious coming from Loki, but he generally doesn't use his magic for special effects. ]

Oh? Is that how it works in your world?

[Successfully redirecting Kramm's attention from aesthetics to function, but no he still looks pretty excited.]

Magic is magic. How it works depends on how it is used.

Huh, yeah, I guess that makes sense.

How familiar are you with the trade?

Oh, magic users are all over in my world. I've adventured with a few - wizards, warlocks, the odd sorcerer here and there. It's not something I can do myself, but I've seen it in action.

Oh?

[ That's not too surprising. ]

What were they capable of?

[Kramm tries to think back on the engagements he's been in and what he's seen, ticking them out on his fingers as he goes.]

Blasts of arcane magic, firebolts, clerics can heal and revive people, oh! Druids can change into animals ... and talk to animals ... I've seen people throw whips of thorns they pull out of mid-air, ah, you know ... stuff like that.

[ Loki nods. ]

Nothing special then.

[Here, Kramm deflates slightly.]

Well, I thought it was pretty special. I can't do anything remotely like it.

[Well, he can rage, but the situation has to be just right.]
