12 - [Action]
[It's one of those days when Eley feels like heading into the village and perusing the shops to see if he can find anything interesting. Today, he's lucky! Or so he feels anyway, for sitting on a shelf in a brightly coloured orange bottle is some substance labelled only as 'Magic Bubbles'.
Eley had become rather interested in the concept of magic from other worlds since his stay in Luceti, so naturally he found himself wondering what kind of magic could be contained in this bottle. Obviously something to do with bubbles... was it water based then? How did it work? What exactly did it do? The Spirit had to find out for himself, so he wasted no time in taking a bottle and heading outside with it.
He'll be spending the rest of the day doing the following:
First he'll end up sitting by the fountain in the plaza and unscrewing the cap to the bottle to find a strange wand attached to it... It'll take him a while to figure out exactly what the point of it is and you'll likely find him trying to look through the hole at the end or holding it up to the light to inspect the rainbow sheen of the soapy film across the gap.
Eventually he'll try waving the wand (perhaps it's like a tiny scepter?) and thus produce a stream of small bubbles. Ah, so this wand creates bubbles? Interesting! He'll try waving it some more in long sweeping motions... until it runs out.
Not realising the stuff in the bottle is what's responsible for creating the bubbles in the first place, you might find him wandering around the village shaking the wand with varying degrees of ferocity out of frustration that his new toy isn't working anymore.
Later on, he'll have finally figured it out, so you'll likely see some stray bubbles floating around and perhaps a rather easily amused Spirit trying to make new amusing shapes out of the bubbles, or trying to make a huge one... or maybe just trying to make as many as he can by trying to master how to use the wind against the wand in the most effective way possible.
Feel free to play with him! or help him out!]

Wow, I haven't seen any of those in the store in a long time!
no subject
They have been here before? Perhaps you would know what is 'magical' about them then.
no subject
Yeah, they show up in the store every so often. I don't usually make a point of looking for them... for all I know, they may be there more often than I've noticed.
I don't think there's anything actually magical about them, though. We used to make something like them in my world out of soapy water-- you would bend a piece of wire into a hoop, dip it into the water, and then use that to blow bubbles just like those.
no subject
I had thought there was something more unexplained about them, but at least it seems simple enough to recreate them. Perhaps magic does not necessarily have to mean some force or power created by the elements or the body of a person.
[He tilts his head as he regards the bubbles more thoughtfully now, before blowing another stream and watching them float into the air.]
no subject
I don't think it really matters whether they're magical as long as they're fun, right?
no subject
He gives a nod in agreement.]
I think I am beginning to realise how important fun really is. Perhaps... you would like to join me?
no subject
I'd like that a lot! And then maybe I could show you how to make your own bubbles so you can still play with them even when that runs out.
no subject
I would like that. I am sure this bottle will not last for long... it would be a shame to have to wait a long time for the next one.
[He offers Emil the bottle though, perhaps a little tentatively because... well, he might be a bit attached to it now. It's his prize! But he did ask if he wanted to join, so why not?]
Here. You should try for a while.
no subject
Are you sure? I mean, it is your bottle of bubbles... I wouldn't want to use it up or anything. I'm okay with just watching, or maybe playing with the bubbles themselves.
no subject
[Emil's offer meant that this was just one bottle of many, right? He's holding him to his word and that means he might be a little more willing to give this one up for a little bit.
He presses the bottle to his hands because he's not taking no for an answer. Feel lucky, Emil!]
no subject
[And he accepts the bottle with a smile to show how grateful he is for this. Yay!
He dips the wand down into the mixture for a moment, swirling it around to make sure it's got plenty of bubble solution on it, then withdraws it and blows on it, sending a stream of bubbles... right at Eleytheria! Okay, so he couldn't really help himself there.]
