spellminders | ( VOICE | DAY 32 PRE UVI ATTACK )

( Knowing there will soon be an attack on Aimintas, Emil made it a point to try and get the telepathic attention of the only friend he had from back home to make sure he was alright. After no response and a sharp pain in his signet, he'd set off to try and find Lalli, only to locate his comatose body in the deserted city.

It's not that he hasn't seen this before being that Lalli has Finnish Magic Weirdness running through his veins, but the fact that he knows there's apparently about to be some kind of attack later on in the day...Lalli please wake up, my man.

Things Emil has done to try and wake his friend up:

smooshing his face

holding his nose

slapping his face

shaking him gently

shaking him vigerously

yelling at him

trying to feed him fish

trying to feed him a bath bomb

Things that have worked:

none of the above

If he could have at the time, he probably would have asked more questions about Lalli's previous weird magic coma -- or maybe this is totally something different. Either way, Emil is panicking a little bit and he can already feel the heat of his magic going through his body. ~~maybe being on fire will wake Lalli up~~ )

Uhm...! ( His voice is shaky as it loudly broadcasts to the rest of the coven. Back home no one particularly gave a shit about Lalli being in a coma, but maybe someone here has more compassion. ) Can someone help me wake up my friend!?

( He knows you wanted to sleep bud, but now isn't exactly the time. )

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oh fuckdammit.

[WHY NOW, LALLI. WHY GODDAMNED NOW]

Can you get him somewhere safe immediately?

( HE'S A DIFFICULT SHIT, THAT'S WHY )

I think we're safe? I've got protection equipment, anyway.

( Despite being useless a lot of the time, at least Emil is well equipped with amunition and bombs. He'd just rather not have to be mobile carrying his much faster friend around like a flour sack. )

[That's at least a relief. Aghhh]

Do you know what put him to sleep?

( ...................not really, uh. )

It has something to do with his mage-magic. Not the magic from the witch. It's happened before, but this is much more inconvenient!

( Well, the hair pulling hasn't started yet so the instances are about even. )

Cool, because more complications makes it better. What fixed it last time?

I have absolutely no idea. He was sleeping like he was dead, he screamed a lot one day and eventually he just happened to wake up.

( It's not very helpful but in his defense, Lalli isn't either when it comes to talking about shit. )

So not exactly replicable circumstances. Goddammit.

Where are you? I can try to check him out.

( The person who would have more exact directions is currently in a coma. )

I'm in one of the suite rooms in the marketplace. On the left side? ( Your left, his left? Shrugs? )

[goddammit. they may just have to play marco polo]

I'm coming.

( too bad emil doesn't know what that is

But he does know this place is big and it can be hard to find somebody when you're holed up in one room. He'll try to make his place as visible as possible by standing outside of the suite chamber entrance, gun at the ready in case...whatever is supposed to attack soon decides to rear its ugly head.

At least a short Swedish dude with a gun looking like he's going to piss himself any second is s pretty noticeable landmark?? )

[IT SURE IS]

Emil. [...Waving around that gun.]

I can get you two back to the coven house immediately if you aren't going to fight.

[By.... shoving them in his sylladex and then flashstepping all the way there.]

( his gun is cool, okay )

Uhhh... ( Saying he's not going to fight seems kind of cowardly -- not that he planned on jumping into the middle of the war anyway, but he would have if it was necessary. With Lalli like this, though... )

-- No, I'm not. Thank you. ( Emil might be able to get them both to the house safely, but he won't say no to a helping hand in his time of need. )

[A pause because he has to explain this. Shit.]

I can put you both into a space where no one but me can access you. You won't experience any time and no one can hurt you while I move you from here to the coven house.

[He demonstrates with his sword, pulling it out of nowhere and then dropping it back in.]

It's called my sylladex. You'll be safe in there.

( Emil isn't going to pretend to understand whatever the fuck that means, but the demonstration is a little more clear. Woah -- that sword just. Appeared. Disappeared.

Uh. That makes him nervous. )

Are you sure that's safe? And that we'll fit? ( Magic makes him dubious, especially when it's nontangible and mysterious like that.

Also if he's going to be in some weird space pocket with a sword jiggling around, he doesn't want to be impaled. )

I took Mikleo into it the other day while he was a giant dragon. It was fine.

[Dirk manages to act like this is a deeply chill and normal thing, because Dirk, as a human, is just wrong.]

( ...There's a bit to unpack there that he doesn't really get, mostly because he doesn't pay attention to shit like dragons flying around, but he'll believe him regardless. )

Alright then. Uhm --- do I just. Jump in? Orrr...? ( Give him a second to flour sake carry his limp noodle friend, but he'll figure it out somehow afterwards. )

I do it.

[And Dirk—does. Emil will experience exactly nothing before suddenly finding himself popped out in the coven house. Lalli has been deposited on the bed safe and sound.]

You're okay here?

( True to the description, Emil can't even open his mouth to question things further before suddenly he's...in an entirely different place.

Well. That was helpful. )

Y...eah. How in the world can you do something like that?

It's just where people put their inventory in my world.

[It's just. A thing? John's Dad puts stuff in his wallet. Sometimes he puts a car in his wallet. And that's fine.]

Consider it more of a law of physics than an ability, basically.

( Again with Dirk acting like the most bizarre shit is normal...the only sane person he can trust is himself. )

Well, it's useful at least. Thank you for the quick transport. Are you going back out there...to fight whatever those things will be?

[He nods.]

I can fight.

[So he must and he will]
