WHAT: Newcomers, a surprise gift from Tatianna, and a visitor!
NOTES\WARNINGS:
 ⏵ arrival ⏴ Welcome to Etraya! Arrival goes as expected - characters awaken on hospital beds and are offered an explanation of their situation: that they have arrived in the city of Etraya, and they are their world's only hope. They are welcome to wander the hospital if they would like to - the upper floors are mostly empty, full of pristine hallways and numerous rooms filled with supplies, cots, and things one would expect from a relatively average 21st-century hospital. The lobby is filled to the brim with tables of freshly baked goods. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" banners are taped to the walls, and several other typical birthday decorations can be found in this area. A few of the baked goods tables are lined with massive cakes covered in unlit candles, just waiting for someone to grab a lighter and sing off-key. Is it anyone's birthday? Who knows! The companion bots seem to believe it's every new arrival's birthday and will greet them as such - with friendly waves and cheers as they make their way to the lobby. A coat rack is situated by the doors leading out of the hospital, covered in warm clothing that fits the new arrivals just right - whether it's to their preferred style or not is something else entirely. Some of them appear normal enough. Others? Well. They can't all be perfect, now can they? Outside the windows, the grass is covered in a couple of inches of loosely packed snow. We hope you enjoy your stay.  ⏵ an unexpected gift ⏴ Out by the hospital stands a tall, decorated tree covered in candles and golden pinecones with a handsome, red velveteen tree skirt. In front of it are a few oversized wrapped gifts for show- and atop one of those sits a familiar woman. Or unfamiliar, if this is your first time. It's Tatianna in a slutty Santa outfit with a big ol’ burlap sack. “Hey, I got something for you,” she says, digging into the bag and rummaging for a moment. She produces a painted egg and holds it aloft. “It’s your Winter Solstice Egg! This is the egg holiday, right? Wait, shit. I’m mixing them up, aren’t I? ...Well. It’s a little late to change it. Here you go!” How one treats their egg is fully up to themselves. They can choose to ignore it entirely, or destroy it and leave the yolk and innards to rot on the ground. They can hand it over to someone else or care for it as if it were something precious. No one will prevent them from doing whatever they please with it!  ⏵ naughty or nice ⏴ Those who keep the egg and tend to it will get the benefit of being able to watch it hatch seven days after they are handed the egg. Eggs that are treated with attention and love may yield a loyal companion, or a weapon of choice that always returns to its owner, while neglected eggs may yield a curious, cursed trinket or an animal who treats its new owner very much the same way its owner had treated it before it was born. Please submit an egg request below for what items you would like your character's eggs to hatch into! Please note that these cannot be things that would be applicable in the game. Those whose eggs are destroyed or forgotten will simply get the gift of... nothing!  ⏵ free your spirit ⏴ With the winter chill gripping the air, a mysterious figure makes their presence known in Etraya - a towering, horned creature dragging a massive sack behind them. Regardless of a character's strengths or weaknesses, they will find that when Krampus raises his massive sack over their head, they are powerless to stop him from catching them. Those capable of great magical feats or other supernatural abilities will sense something... otherworldly about Krampus, but will not be able to place the source of that sensation. Once within Krampus' sack, they are welcome to fight, but escape is impossible. It will feel as if Krampus is dragging them over every rock possible, dragging the sack in through the rivers to the point it soaks through and drenches them - potentially almost drowning them. When the sack opens, they will find themselves in an impossibly dark space. Around them are others who have also been captured and dragged here by Krampus, trapped in small cages hanging from a massive, wiry tree. Krampus will return often, banging clawed hands and birch rods on the walls of the cages and knocking them into one another. The whisper resonates through the darkened area, regardless of Krampus' presence. Confess your secrets, and be freed. Otherwise? You'd better hope someone figures out where Krampus has set up base; those who refuse to confess may find themselves stuck here forever. Krampus' base is under Etraya! Deep within the catacombs, he has set up multiple cages to capture those who inhabit Etraya to punish them for their naughty habits. Fighting him is possible! Defeating him by means of combat is not, however, possible. Think of it like fighting a god: Krampus creates the rules in the space around him, including who can use what ability.

If you don't, I won't hesitate to start breaking down walls.
1/2

you
no subject
He's scooping down to pick up rocks to toss weakly in Accelerator's direction. ]
Get ... out. I didn't... ask... for anything!
no subject
The rocks, though....
He just stands there for a few moments before walking over. Since his reflection is working, any rocks that get within a few centimeters of himself will automatically ricochet off into the sky or embed themselves into a nearby stone wall.
He lets out a squeaky chuckle.]
Shit, this is even more pathetic in person.
no subject
[ His voice comes out in wheezing gasps, but it still has the same bite as ever. The issue is, of course, presentation with him hunched over with a blanket wrapped around him. Not to mention his glasses sliding down his nose as he peers at him from just over the top of the frames. ]
Are Espers immune to colds?
[ Seems like he's planning on coughing on him if he gets closer. ]
no subject
I am. I can automatically reflect subatomic particles, and viruses are made up of that shit. I'm not gonna breathe in anything I don't want to.
[Once in front of Vincent he's stopping and holding the bag of medicine and baked goods out.]
There's acetaminophen, pseudoephedrine, and dextromethorphan. There's also a thermometer, if you have a fever fucking call Aurora so the bots can hospitalize you.
no subject
I'm not going to call them to hospitalize me! [ But he does take the bag with as much force as he can muster. And then he adjusts how his blanket is resting on his shoulders. ] I'll tend to myself and die in my citadel if I must.
[ Another wheezing cough. ] What do I owe you, then?
no subject
I don't know. Figure it out when you're not sick.
[He personally doesn't mind an IOU, though he's guessing Vincent will take offense to it. Oh well, he gets to deal with it.]
no subject
Both you and him. It's a small debt but still a debt.
[ Vincent can't even say that due to being ill he's making a mountain out of a molehill. This is the same reaction that he had when he realized he owed Barnabas some small favor due to telling him about the companion bots coming to this place every so often.
He clicks his tongue again. It's another debt - another favor - if he keeps speaking but: ]
Don't tell anyone I'm here.
no subject
He can understand not liking it, he supposes. Being indebted to people back home usually meant they were going to take advantage of you in some way, or outright blackmail. The latter was the reason he ended up having to work for scumbags, and he's lived with a lack of agency for most of his life. It's frustrating, having no power.]
............
[Wait, is he sympathizing with Vincent? Gross. His face briefly contorts into an expression of disgust, and his response to what Vincent says is more aggressive than necessary.]
Whatever. Who the fuck would I even tell? It's not like I'm talking about you to other people.
no subject
Good. Why would anyone talk about me?
[ As far as he's concerned, he's a very average person. Honestly, he'd be surprised if people didn't find him boring with how normal and dull he presents himself to be.
Sniffling loudly, he pauses to hack something onto the stones.
Ugh. Mucus build-up is the worst, but it's not his fault the teen had to see that! If he kept his nose out of his business, he wouldn't have seen anything. ]
All right. Glad you're an Esper so Heathcliff won't kill you. Although kind of wish he did so I wouldn't have had to accept this care package. [ He turns his head away yet again to wheeze out a laugh. ]
no subject
Who the fuck's Heathcliff?
[That isn't a name that he's familiar with, and it sounds like he probably should be if it's something that could kill him.]
no subject
[ He gestures with his hand toward the bridge which Accelerator must have flown over? teleported? who knows? ]
no subject
Must not be a very good guardian, since I didn't get shot down.
[........ Not that most things could shoot him down to begin with, but details.]
no subject
[ He attempts to wave both hands dismissively with the bag being flung about with the gesture. ]
no subject
That thing is lucky it didn't meet me, you mean. And don't lose that shit before you can use it.
[Geez, even when he's sick he's animated. His brain must never get a break.]
no subject
[ He leans over as he lets out a long wheezing sigh. With his free hand, he runs his hand across his forehead. Ugh, it's wet - and he isn't sure if it's because his palms are sweaty or his head.
His tongue slips out for a second before standing properly. ]
Whatever. It's mine now. If it's lost, it's my problem, right?
no subject
Yeah it is. I don't see why you'd make your life more difficult, though.
no subject
Just because you brought me medicine doesn't make you my caretaker. [ He sneers as best as he can in his weakened state. ] You don't get to look down on me because you're healthy and can avoid the weakness of being human and getting sick.
Understand?
no subject
Then he sighs.]
That's where you're wrong. I'm not looking down on you because I'm healthier, I'm looking down on you because you're being an idiot.
no subject
[ His eyes snap to the pier, like he's thinking of throwing the whole bag of goods into the water just for that comment alone. ]
no subject
Accelerator turns away, waving a hand before jamming both into the pockets of his coat.]
Nevermind, I'm fucking out. Have fun being sick.
no subject
[ Sneering yet again, he supposes he could choose something else to tell Accelerator to leave, but the teen's already going so there's no need to say anything more.
Shuffling back to the citadel, he glances once more toward the pier. He could throw everything into the water as the esper goes! He could show him he doesn't need anything and so doesn't intend to pay back any debt.
However, Accelerator also didn't say anything else, so -- he'll let it pass and keep what has been given to him. ]
