A Mingle!

[cobanpcs]

Who: YOU!!
When: Early Day 9 and onwards.
Where: A city corner!
What: WISHING WELL(s?)

At some point during the night a wishing well appeared in the corner, maybe it was a garbage can a second ago and you saw it blur, maybe it was a fire hydrant, maybe you just hadn't seen it before, but there it is!

There's a sign next to it reading: "Toss a coin, make a wish!"
(WISHES NOT GUARANTEED TO COME TRUE)

Maybe you don't have a coin, but Coba's got your back; there's a pail full of coins next to the well.

So go on, make a wish. Or spy on other people making wishes (Or steal the coins). Surely nothing can possibly go wrong.

Comments

[tinywoof]

[The small woof is looking between the coins and a dispenser machine nearby. He could wish for a candy bar, but he could also just take the coins and get one.]

[andps]

[tiny woof what are you doing.

You have a vampire coming up to stand next to you]

This isn't suspicious at all.

[complicity]

You know, if you want something, all you need to do is ask. [From behind him, a faint smile playing over her lips.]

[craftylikea]

[forget the wishing well, for some reason the dispenser machine isn't shifting when Lyall comes by, so...he's staring at it intently.]

What fascinating progress.

[insistent]

[Caroline had been picking up a few things for the Grill when she found the well and just stopped, eyeing it for a few long moments. ]

[lockwouldnt]

It's not any weirder than usual. [Tyler's voice comes from beside her as he too approaches the well, this time with school supplies in hand.] Still probably wouldn't make a wish.

[fistallday]

[ The resident MASSIVE 7'7" HUMANOID MAN picks up a coin between his enormous sausage fingers and contemplates, turning it over and over. ]

A wish, eh? I wish... me company mates great success on their hunts!

[ And he flicks it in, smiling to himself. ]

[andps]

Holy - you're huge.

[that's it, that's his greeting]

[breakrecord]

[HOLY SHIT THAT'S A HUGE...PERSON?]

Giant! [And then, much more calmly:] I bet you could hunt things just by throwing yourself on top of them.

Open!

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[She has a wish and got startled by seeing the random wishing well. Reaching into her purse, she pulls out a coin and rubs it a bit, thinking of her so called wish.


'I wish there wasn't so much conflict and drama between my friends and I. I want us to get along.'

And she throws it in. Not likely going to happen but she could humor the city.]

ETA, absolutely open

[darkshooter]

[...Make a wish? In many ways, it feels like her life's just begun...what was there to wish for?]



[...that could work, couldn't it? A lovely idea.]

[Noire reaches into the pail, withdraws a single coin. Holds it to her chest, and prays silently...then drops it into the well, in what she hopes is a respectful manner. It might have been more noble to use a coin of her own, but she wasn't sure she had one.]

[And, well, it seems that's that. The wish is made, so...perhaps we should move along? Or was she supposed to wait?]

[heptagram]

[HEY LOOK WHO IT IS... where has she been for the last week? Probably keeping to herself, honestly.]

Oh? Hi, Noire.

OTA

[shiroganeheir]

Naoto is on the way to her office when the trash cans (Isn't that one of the trash cans on the way to school?) turns into a wishing well in front of her.

Staring for a moment, she pulls a hundred yen out of her pocket and flips it a few times in her fingers, thinking. After a moment, she tosses it in an arc into the well, a strange look on her face.

Eventually, she speaks. "As my wishing well luck is probably about as good as my shrine fortune luck, just... make sure someone else doesn't get something terrible."

placeholder and i'm sorry

[mrlivingskull]

[not five feet away]

[fwoosh! this passerby suddenly catches fire. and he doesn't react with jumping or screaming or anything of the sort.]


[his head just...slowly...slowly turns...to look in your direction.]

also OTA~

[mrlivingskull]

[...a wishing well, huh. What could go wrong?]

[No need to pinch any coins, we've got plenty of our own. Matter of fact, we're going to will a space-time continuum hole next to said well, out of which will appear a giant hand holding its own little coinpurse bag thing...somehow.]

[And then we're gonna pull an Elizabeth.]

[entertainheir]

[Yuya's just over here, staring. Weird wormhole, giant hand, stream of coins - yeah, this is weird.]

That's not Solid Vision, is it...?

OTA

[complicity]

[ The wishing well held no real interest for her, but she was standing nearby watching the people who did come to visit it. ]

Re: OTA

[keymash]

. . . Are you okay?

OTA

[conjecture_this]

... Make a wish?

[Nagi's High Pixie flits around the well, unseen by most and only visible to those who can see supernatural creatures. She's peeking around all sides of the well curiously.]

It doesn't feel harmful anyhow. Maybe it's just a custom around here.

[lockwouldnt]

[Yeah, guess who sees that pixie and is thoroughly convinced he's high? Even though he hasn't smoked anything in years?

Sorry, Nagi - Tyler's gonna stare for a little bit at the pixie, before he quickly downs the rest of his bottle of whiskey.] I've really gotta start sleeping in more.

[captainkink]

Damn, where did I keep all my 21st century money.

[tinywoof]

Uuh, there's a bucket full of coins on the other side.

[entertainheir]

[Yuya finds the well while he's still exploring the city for the first time, and he's seen a couple of these before at home but as far as he knows nobody's ever actually given out coins for these before. They really are generous here, aren't they?

In the spirit of things he takes a coin and tosses it in thinking of Yuzu. It lands in the well with a plop, and - that's it. Something feels weird about that, and he takes a minute to place it.]

Geez, it's no fun without everyone here...

[tsooki]

[In his walk around the town- he's still getting used to this place (he kind of likes it- no Hinatas or Kageyamas or any loud, nosy, obnoxious people YET) he spots the well. A wishing well. With hands in his pockets, he edges towards it, giving it almost an evil eye.

Then he snorts-]

I can't understand why people believe in such things.

[keymash]

Why not? It's not like it's hurting anyone.

[keymash]

[ Peter knows what he'd wish . . . especially since he's cost a lot of people their lives. So he twirls the coin in between his fingers distractedly ]

[prefers_magneto]

[Suddenly it lifts out of his fingers and flies through the air to hover above this prick's hand.]

You look pretty deep in thought for someone contemplating a children's game.

[ibideficitorbis]

A wishing well? Might as well be nice to the deity guarding it. Shura takes one of her own, gold macca coins, and tosses it it, then claps her hands three times to get the deity's attention.

"A girlfriend, please. I promise not to complain."

Maybe she's lonely, okay.

[tsooki]

Tsukishima's been lurking around the well for some time. It popped out of nowhere, so he can't deny it's intriguing. What's annoying is that people believe it will actually grant them wishes.

Like this girl for example. He has to huff a laugh.

"What? Do you think that well would cough her up?"



[ooc: I am terribly sorry in advance for his personality.]

[billionerd]

[And over on this side there is a real life adult in full scuba gear tying a very long rope to the top of the well.]

Would anyone like to give me a hand?

[ibideficitorbis]

Look, this half-naked lady in full body tattoo will just... stare. Okay? Okay.

[neverlosemyfocus]

Siri picked up a coin, turning it idly over in her hands before carefully reading the sign by the well. Quite frankly, it made no sense. What was the point of tossing a coin in a well and making a wish? Was this actually something people did?

Kriff, Earthers are strange.

open

[heptagram]

[Patchouli didn't have any money with her, so the coins were appreciated, but she wondered at what point that wounded the integrity of the wish. She's also curious as to whether or not they have any real value.

So yes, instead of chucking a coin into the well, she's giving one of those coins a very thorough examination. Honestly, she doesn't know what to wish for.

Feel free to interrupt her, though.]

[anelegantmyth]

[She's looking down at the well, then inside her wallet, then down the well again. If she had a coin, she'd totally go for it. But right now, all she had was her cards...so that's a no.

And she didn't really trust that pail full of coins.]

Hmm...

[forgingbonds]

[There's a very dapper-looking guy sitting on a bench in a section of park that strongly resembles part of New York's central park. He seems to be just sitting and soaking up the atmosphere. He's ignoring the nearby well but he is idly letting one of the coins from one of the pails play across his knuckles]

[anelegantmyth]

[Wishing wasn't really her thing. Magic and mystery played a huge part in her every day life. So today, she decided to take a break from all of that. Today she decided to take a seat on a random bench and read that book she borrowed from the library.

Fairytales. They don't exist in her world.

However, she does notice the man seated at the bench next to her, playing with that coin.]

Do you think it's real? The well, I mean.
