Slide the Light Off You
As promised, the evening of the 21st finds the Jormun hosting a party on Ensō's largest beachfront. Near immediately, it should be clear that they've spared absolutely no expense when it comes to showing their story-walker brethren a good time.
Of course, they may also be...showing off a little.
Large slabs of driftwood have been laid out to form impromptu tables, bristling with the Jormun's culinary expertise: fried squid, seaweed wraps, spicy pickled kelp, kebabs of roasted eel, hard-boiled snapling eggs, and so on. The vegetables and meats of the sea have been laid out for all to enjoy, so tuck in!
Throughout the evening the air will be filled with the sound of music, with multiple Jormun eager to show off their skill in instrumentation. Conch-shell horns, carved driftwood flutes, urchin-needle harps, and countless more contraptions engineered by a deep sea-dwelling people fill the air with the most peculiar but nonetheless not unpleasant sound. Most of the bands will be set up in the shallow waters, however, as their instruments are not made to be used in open air - try playing them above the surface of the water at your own risk.
Of course, there's plenty more to entertain even the most difficult of people.
You're Living the Strobe Light
Those interested in proving their strength and skill will be encouraged to enter one of the many tournaments across the shoreline. The tournaments vary, featuring such challenges as play fights with the schlacknorkcvic to prove who is the greatest warrior, timed events to see who can stay on a bucking tigershark for the longest, and even a tourney of brovonkosshk, a board game somewhat similar to chess. Don't see anything you're interested in? Make your own. If you can think it, the Jormun will happily accommodate it - impromptu challenges are the highlight of such evenings, after all, though the Jormun won't be taking any responsibility for the first poor soul that decides to usher in a drinking contest.
A small variety of walker games are also available. Jormun children are more than eager to play such games as hide-and-seek or red light, green light, while Connor Murphy will be bringing his Cards Against Humanity deck, for those ready to completely screw with the idea of a fourth wall. There's even a game of Spin the Bottle... except the bottle is being spun overhead like a mace. Being hit by said bottle requires you to do a stupidly ridiculous task, so perhaps it's best to avoid that particular adaptation...
And of course, there's the lightshow.
Additionally, skilled Jormun will be happy to assist those who care to dress up for the event with intricate applications of shellivthiss - a style of waterproof body paint that is not only bright, but luminescent. Something the Jormun may forget to mention, however, is how similar shellivthiss is to henna; should you decide to get all dolled up, except to shine bright light a diamond for weeks to come.
Lastly, those who wanted to bring their own adventures are welcome to as well! Supplying some dope roast? Bringing those sweet, sweet greens? Have some alcohol to supply? All is welcomed by the Jormun - and undoubtedly, your fellow adventurers as well.
You May Find Some Peace

( CODED BY BOOTYCALL )
Legion | OTA
(They ...have limited experience with parties.
It doesn't help that they have not ceased to be nervous around organics.
At least at first, they'll be hanging awkwardly at the fringes of the festivities, reluctant to initiate interaction with anyone they do not already know.)
B
(A bit later, and they're a lot more relaxed ...and also glowing? Glowing and dancing, apparently.
They did say, after all, that they would dance the robot.)
C
(Being around organics without harassment occurring has emboldened them somewhat, and they've decided to compete in a tournament.
Specifically, fighting.
Anyone up to challenging the big scary killer robot?)
C
That's a robot she's facing. Um.
Steady, Pyrrha. Breath through your nose, out through your mouth. Don't have flashbacks.
Uh.... wave?]
Hello there...? I'm - My name is Pyrrha?
no subject
(She appears nervous. Perhaps she is frightened of them.)
Fear is unnecessary: harm is unlikely.
no subject
Oh... no, please don't worry about that. I'm not worried!
[Not worried at all!!!]
no subject
(Perhaps they misjudged. Regardless, it is her decision if she wishes to fight.)
no subject
That's probably settled. Okay, Pyrrha. Just breath in. Out. You've got this. You're over it by now. Those memories have to be let go.
She takes a stance, staff ready]
I'm ready if you are. Let's begin!
no subject
(They ready their own staff, and take a swing.)
no subject
Practiced reflexes let her bring her staff up just in time to block the hit. It's successful, but she's getting pushed back a little. Wow, what a strong opponent.
She shifts her weight, aiming to direct the force of Legion's strike in one direction while she tries to poke the robot in the chest with the other end of her staff.]
no subject
So long as she doesn't mess with that giant hole they have, in which case the fight will be ending now, because those are their internal organs glowing inside there, they'll take the hit and let themselves be pushed back a little as they stumble to the side.
They chatter. She is skilled.)
A
Thing is, he sees nerds much more frequently, he's got nerd-proficiency, and their awkward hovering is like a distress beacon. Time to bother this robot.
"Sup, Partybot? How's it hanging?"
no subject
They startle slightly, and stare.
"Our designation is not Partybot."
no subject
"Yeah, I can tell. What is your designation?" Taako squints a moment as a thought trickles in, and then his voice takes on a suspicious tone. "And why are you plural? Are you a real robot or are you just a bunch of dead people IN a robot?"
no subject
...Well that's a depressing description.
"We are not dead. 1,183 programs reside within this platform." They're... definitely a robot, just a very weird one.
A weird nerdy one. Now they're just standing there and staring awkwardly, as though waiting for Taako to say something else.
no subject
That's a pretty ominous name for a pretty unominous robot. But he gets it, this is just what conglomerational entities are into.
"Is that a lot? What's a Geth?" He almost manages to stay on topic, but at the last minute, there's a sharp left turn. "You know what, why is no one ever just like, a farmer or something, huh? Everyone that comes here. 'S all fight boys and orphans and competent women, and now a robot. Why is that?" Fuckin, robo-google that.
no subject
"The Geth were a machine race created by the Quarians. We contain approximately 11 times as many programs as are housed in a typical platform."
The next part seems to interest them, and they consider it.
And consider it...
Wait for it...
"Uncertain." Yeah they don't have an answer.
no subject
"You really had me going, there for a minute, Partybot," he gestures at them with his drink-holding hand. "Thought you were gonna trot out, like, some statistics, the meaning of life, whatever."
He takes a fortifying drink, because you just know the answer to his next question is gonna be some bullshit. "Why are you so many programs? Is each one, like, a person?"
no subject
"Our designation is Legion." It's hard to tell how actually bothered they are.
They chatter.
"Though individual intelligence has been enhanced, Geth programs achieve sapience when networked together. Our platform is unique, designed to function in organic space. It was judged that a single platform carrying many programs would be less likely to incite hostility than multiple platforms networked together."
A pause, and their flaps ripple.
"All Geth are people."
no subject
Like, that right there about hostility. Yeah.
"Sure, buddy. You're at least one person, just wanted to know if you were, like, a bunch. It's a whole thing." He waves this away, a conversational dead-end he is choosing to bypass. "Why, uh. Was it judged that? The hostility thing, I mean? Someone wasn't a fan of robots?" A realization. "Hang on, are you the only like, meatspace robot?"
This is getting very philosophical for a party, and Taako was not ready.
no subject
"Yes." ...Accurate but not very useful answers are fun, huh? But then again, it is the answer to all of those. Why waste time answering questions independently when one could be efficient?
