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!]

[The sight of Eley shaking what looked like a piece of plastic with such ferocity wasn't what Tear expected to see when she goes about her daily errands in the plaza. In a way it was amusing, but she decides to see what has him frustrated anyway.]

Eleytheria? What are you doing?
seleniahymn: (Whatever you say.)

A magic wand that creates bubbles? [But it just looks like a piece of plastic.]

Maybe if I had a look at it, I could help you.
seleniahymn: (I concur my good sir.)

[His reluctance is a bit endearing honestly, and she even smiles a little at it as she takes the bottle and wand carefully, examining it.

Then she puts the wand back into the bottle, waiting for a few moments.]
This is exactly how it was?
seleniahymn: (Hm?)

[personal profile] seleniahymn 2013-06-22 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[So it seemed, Tear waits a moment longer before extracting the wand from the bottle, once again covered in the soapy formula and raising her eyebrows only just slightly as she studied it.]

... It seems perfectly fine to me.
seleniahymn: (Helpful hand.)

[personal profile] seleniahymn 2013-06-22 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
In a sense, all you have to do is put it back in the bottle to load more of the liquid. [See, she'll hold it up so Eley can get a better look.]

Why don't you try blowing in it?
knightofratatosk: (Happy smile)

[One such stream of bubbles nearly hits Emil in the face as he walks by on the way to Celsius Tear in the morning; he blinks, surprised, then laughs when he realizes what they are and blows on them, sending them whirling away from him.]

Wow, I haven't seen any of those in the store in a long time!
folklorist: (I'm just your average headmaster yep)

[ Helios is mucking around the village getting all sorts of party favors and plates and cups for the solstice party when he happens upon the spirit. He can't help but take a break to actually go over to the other with a beaming smile and see what he's up to. Don't mind the big box filled almost to the brim with party things. ]

Eley? I see you've found the store's bubble supply.
seleniahymn: (A touch of understanding.)

[personal profile] seleniahymn 2013-06-23 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Were she not so in control of her emotions she would have openly laughed at just how cheered up it was, it truly was cute in its own way. There is a fond smile though, and she has no problem with watching the small spectacle he displayed.]

It's no trouble. To tell the truth, I haven't played with bubbles in a long time. Only once.
knightofratatosk: (Smile)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-06-24 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Grinning, Emil wanders closer to Eley with a wave.]

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.
seleniahymn: (Whatever you say.)

[personal profile] seleniahymn 2013-06-24 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, suddenly there's a bottle in her hands. Looks like it's time to cue blushing, because while she has no problems with seeing Eley playing with them, doing so herself is another story.]

What? But it belongs to you...
folklorist: (Oh is that right)

[personal profile] folklorist 2013-06-24 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A big party that's what. Helios' smile only broadens. ]

Bubbles are quite fun, I have to admit. Then you get some people who can make shapes and animals out of them! It's good for parties.

[ Speaking of which...Helios blinks and then looks down at the bundle in his arms. ] Oh! Yes. Ha! I-I got sidetracked, but yes! There's a party being held down by the lake for the summer solstice. You-you should drop by! Everyone is invited and, well, it's also Max's birthday party too. You're welcome to join us and anyone else you think might want to bring along.
seleniahymn: (Conflicted.)

[personal profile] seleniahymn 2013-06-24 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-Yes, I do... [Honestly she would love to, but that mentality that she has to keep up the stern and cold soldier front all the time is getting in the way.

... But is it really necessary right now? Eley is a good friend.]
All right, I'll try it.

[Work with her, bubbles!]
knightofratatosk: (Ehehehehe...)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-06-25 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Emil nods, feeling just the tiniest bit bad about spoiling things for the other man when he sees that look of disappointment on Eley's face.]

I don't think it really matters whether they're magical as long as they're fun, right?
