Event Two.





Dust if you must, but bear this in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go, as go you must,
You yourself will make more dust!




t hasn’t been long since you’ve arrived. The dust has settled, so to speak. And there is… a lot of dust. The town is in disrepair. Some efforts have gone into making it a bit better, but it’s going to be a lot of work, there’s no denying that. There are only a few livable buildings right now, and even those are prone to letting the rain in, or missing stairs to the clearly present second floor, floors crumbling or creaking.

So it is that after a week or so to get used to their new living quarters.... There’s finally activity on the forum. Activity that doesn’t come from any of the people living here.

There’s a stickied forum post, and in it, a single post, from a user FFFFFF:

All-endearing cleanliness,
Virtue next to godliness,
Easiest, cheapest, needfull’st duty,
To the body health and beauty;
Who that’s human would refuse it,
When a little water does it?

Requirements: Everyone

They only have a bit of time to try to figure out what, exactly, it wants from them -- and then things begin to happen.

[This random passerby is PISSED. A little wind? A LITTLE WIND?]

Do you have any idea how long it takes to do my hair every morning?! And now I'll have to wash it all over again! Do you have no common sense or manners?
windeity: (UNSURE ♫ nervous as fuck)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-03-26 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just kind of lets her freak out, still floating in the air and giving an apologetic shrug.]

Well, I did not actually think anyone would pass by before I was done. When I checked the area was clear. Sorry.
troubadamsel: (Permit Me Darling.)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-03-26 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
No excuse! This is a town, and town have streets, and streets have people! If you must practice your magic, there is an empty beach and forest to do so!

[pause.

he's floating.
]

Uh.
windeity: (GRIN ♫ windy things)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-03-27 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[...eheh. Surprise?]

I thought about it, but I want to keep cleaning and this was way faster than trying to sweep everything up. Plus I do not really need the practice! I've been doing this for a while now. [Everything else, well, that's different but let's not talk about that.]
troubadamsel: (You Can Do It!)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-03-27 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I... admit this is a different use of wind magic than I am accustomed to.

[why are you still floating. rude. GET DOWN.]

... If we're to have a proper conversation, you should be on solid ground.
windeity: (CALM ♫ sheepishly)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-03-27 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[...THAT'S FAIR. He'll slowly float down until he's on the ground again, giving her another embarrassed kind of grin.]

Sorry. I forgot most people are not used to that. Better? And sorry again about your hair. [Hm.] You know other people with wind powers?
troubadamsel: (Default)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-03-28 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Why, wind magic is the most basic spell for early magic users.

[Not meant to be a diss, i swear.]
windeity: (GRIN ♫ that's right!)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-03-28 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Luckily John's easygoing enough that an insult isn't even a thing he considers.] So you come from somewhere where magic users can use all kind of elements, I am guessing. That's awesome!

[He also...really likes magic...] My aspect only lets me use the breeze but it can control a lot of other things so I guess I never thought of it as basic.

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-03-28 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone starts out with wind tomes, but it doesn't take long to advance to fire and lightning.

[Speaking of which... where is his tome? His hands are empty, but surely he must have one on him, otherwise how can he use elemental magic?]

Hmmm...
windeity: (NEUTRAL ♫ no comment)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-03-28 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[He tilts his head at her inquisitive "hm", but.] Okay but what's a tome? Like one of those giant books?
troubadamsel: (Permit Me Darling.)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-03-28 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[... that answers that, doesn't it.]

What? How can you possibly use elemental magic without a tome?!
windeity: (ATTENTIVE ♫ hm?)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-03-28 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just my aspect. [This is apparently the only answer.] I think all of us just kind of figured out how to use them without books or anything.
troubadamsel: (En Garde!)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-03-28 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"All of us"? There are more people than can... No, it's impossible! You need the tomes! It's like a swordmaster without a sword, you need the tools!

[I REFUSE TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE]
windeity: (EMBARRASSED ♫ yeah about that?)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-03-28 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
We have our weapons, does that count? [Given his grin he knows it doesn't. Sorry about him, Maribelle.] I think it was just part of the ascension thing. No tomes necessary.
troubadamsel: (Permit Me Darling.)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-03-29 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Tomes are always necessary! Where else would the specific element of magic come from?!

[You're kind of breaking her brain here.]
windeity: (CALM ♫ and interested)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-03-29 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Being a god, I guess? [Welcome to Homestuck, Maribelle, where everybody's brains break a little.] It is a little complicated to explain but all of us were set to have aspects or something like that so when we went godtier we got access to those powers.
troubadamsel: (Look At This Weakling!)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-03-29 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[STOP RIGHT THE FUCK THERE.]

You are NOT a god!
windeity: (GRIN ♫ smirk actually)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-03-29 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Just a minor one. That's kind of what godtier means.
troubadamsel: (En Garde!)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-03-30 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I've had quite enough of this! Doing magic without a tome is one thing, but actually claiming to be some kind of deity?! Now you're pulling my leg, and I won't have it!

[SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTH]
windeity: (FLOAT ♫ heir shit)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-03-30 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well. Okay. He just gives her another once over before he shrugs, starting to rise up into the air again.]

Okay. You don't really have to believe it. [When you die and become a god you kind of don't forget stuff like that.]
troubadamsel: (Look At This Weakling!)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-03-30 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[NOW YOU'RE PISSING HER OFF ON PURPOSE]

Oooh-! I don't have time for all this... lies and nonsense! This entire town needs to be cleaned up!
windeity: (FLOAT ♫ hurricanes)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-03-31 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it does. [She might be pissed but he's mostly letting her wind herself up while going about his business. He's pulling a rag out of seemingly nowhere and he's working on cleaning the windows.] It is going to take a lot of effort but at least everybody seems to be working together.
troubadamsel: (En Garde!)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-03-31 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
But I will not be working with some lying child who has delusions of deity!

[MARIBELLE OUT. She throws her hands up and heads for the door.]
windeity: (FLOAT ♫ heir shit)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-04-02 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Huh. Okay then.]

Good luck wherever you end up then. [He's not going to stop her at least.]
troubadamsel: (En Garde!)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-04-02 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[She SLAMS the door on the way out. Classy as always.]
