Who: kylo ren and others.
When: may.
Where: haven, the city and beyond.
What: may catch-all and quest.
Warnings: one prompt will involve an encounter with an infected creature so expect some violence, possible injury. i will update warnings as necessary.
( it’s difficult, at first, to wrap his mind around it. books – actual printed books on actual paper – are a rarity in his time, what surviving examples of printed media remain are typically kept locked away, safe from prying eyes and sticky fingers, not left out like this for anyone to handle.
except that it’s really not everyone doing the handling.
the volunteers are given a rundown of what is expected of them: gather the returned books, inspect them for damage – recording any fines accrued – and then re-shelve them in the correct areas. avoid engaging with the students more than necessary.
simple enough, really.
what time he doesn't spend replacing books is often spent perusing, his attention drawn particularly to histories of the land and magical theory. )
( haven. he recognizes the place from earlier restoration efforts – efforts he’d assisted with, and been compensated generously for – but is surprised to find that this is the coven’s idea of suitable alternative accommodation.
the buildings start out tall, almost too grand, and far too large for a single person to occupy on their own. eventually, they begin to taper off into smaller, more modest housing. apartments and cottages – two to a place. more manageable than the alternatives, even if it means having to consider the idea of a roommate.
stalls line the streets. perhaps he will step closer to peruse what they have to offer, taking a particular interest in the trinkets of even the slightest magical nature. he might even go so far as to make an inquiry – how much? where did you come by it? a few hundred cunes tucked away in one of the pouches on his belt.
eventually, he’ll move on, heading toward the barracks, though it’s really the bright wall he's hoping to get a closer look at. )
I wonder what it’s made of.
( word of the wilders – the witches that venture beyond the wall, to scout the areas most affected by the cwyld – finds its way to him, and he is quick to volunteer himself to their cause. it’s an excuse to see something of the land beyond the wall. to see if the stories those hushed whispers and ghost stories hold any merit.
their guide certainly seems to think so.
preparation for their venture is a day long affair. In addition to food and water, they are given protective gear – “catch it early enough, and maybe they can save you, but best not to push it” – and a run down on several of the more basic abjuration spells.
they are then lead out of the city, through the bright wall and into the outer city. they are then lead down, past even that, into a nearby wooded area that reminds him a little too much of that earlier dream, even without the tar-colored corpses and eerie quiet. )
Look, ( a soft murmur, pointing toward some of the nearby trees. rather than a lush, healthy green they are yellowing at the edges. )
( anything else goes here? kylo's also signed up for the gardening with class mission, in the hope of learning something about aefenglom's local flora, so feel free to join him as he tries to make heads or tails of the language of flowers and flower arranging. otherwise, i'm open to anything, and you can reach me either via pm or at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

[ Quarantine zones, staging areas... they could all be set up. Treatment locations just outside the wall, though she knows it could ruffle some feathers, seemed appropriate; while there would almost certainly be complaints, at least no one would literally explode in the city itself. The Coven and Parliament could surely work together to make sure there were resources outside the city itself - maybe even another barrier. ]
Parliament closed down all of the theaters because a Witch freaked out on stage and started a fire, but they treat the Cwyld within the city. I don't get it.
no subject
( somehow this had escaped his notice, too caught up with rey and the looking glass house to really look into the local talk. a mistake. one he would need to correct as soon as possible. )
no subject
[ So at least the local talk isn't too recent. ]
Parliament closed down all the theatres, plus there was however the Coven punished him; sounds like no one's heard from the guy since. Not around the Entertainment District, anyway.
no subject
there will only ever be one darth vader. )
Did they say what set him off? ( whomever had shared this information.
it's difficult to imagine a witch turning suddenly violent without some kind of provocation. and then there's the fact that they had felt the need to shut down all of the theaters, not merely the one where this had happened. the obvious answer is that it was something to do with the theaters themselves, but that too is only half an answer. )
no subject
No. Just that he has some sort of meltdown on stage. Could be a lot of things - stress, high emotion from the play, his girlfriend making out with someone else in the audience...
[ As far as she knows, the only person who would know for sure is the missing Wizard Jenkins. Well, 'missing' - she hasn't checked if it's official. ]
no subject
( that seems to be their primary means of checking themselves, at least. the one that they cite most often whenever the subject is raised — and sometimes when it isn't.
and he understands it, oddly enough. if not a part of the culture it's likely some tradition, spanning back decades if not centuries. something they cling to. however, and perhaps this is his personal biases showing, it doesn't sound all that efficient. they should be learning to harness their own power, to not over-extend. )
no subject
[ The idea had all been so new. With as hard as Bonds were preached, it seems like the lack of one resulting in a disaster would have been spoken about more. It makes her think maybe he had one, and maybe that wasn't the problem. Not this time. ]
They just said it was a meltdown.
