So hypothetically, if you're an atheist (no judgement on people who aren't! ♥) and then learn your magic is the result of divine intervention, does that change things for you?

I happen to be in Enprise, so they can count as a debate!

Oooooor~! I might wander around and anyone can try to steal some coins [ inserted image of twenty weird coins ] from me if they can find me! I was a priness in another life and I'm the only staff member of the Stone Pegasus Casino left in town, so I count as double rich, maybe? Either way, it might be fun to see how daring people can get!

[ Feel free to respond with like action stuff about trying to find her, or have threads lead into that. she's being vague on purpose and moving around. ]

action — guy from the iron giant saying something about ART

[usurpers]

[ which isn’t something eren’s particularly good at, so this is hard. meeting natalia at the casino and going out from there, eren doesn’t say much. not that he’s got anything new or important to say! things are still somewhat awkward despite being clear and feeling no reason to prod her for something she and elliot need to fix. it just . . . eh, it still hurts to have seen elliot upset the way he was with that.

sticking to a deck of cards, eren tries to go for a house. that counts as art, right? ]

sweet

[nachetanya]

[ Her and Elliot have talked by now but it's not like she's gone out and told Eren about it the minute that she did or anything. So instead, a somewhat amused expression on her face, she's coming to the Stone Pegasus, smiling as usual as she does at the griffon statues outside of it and steps on in.

... Oh, Eren's here earlier!

Nice! She hums as she comes in, a small bag over her shoulder. ]

Eeeeren!

[usurpers]

[ not that he expects her to either, but— nosy isn’t something he does, so the waiting game is what it shall be! concentration is set on his house of cards, that, to be honest, isn’t all that impressive. he’s at the second layer of triangles, the hardest part, only now trying to set them sideby side again. this is hard.

it’s harder than jenga

and just when he lifts his hand away from the fragile card building, he exhales and briskly turns his head at the call— just enough wind to knock the cards flat. oh. oh well. with another sigh dragged out and flicking a card between his fingers across the table, he spins around in his seat and holds his hand up. ]

I tried to get a headstart.

[nachetanya]

That was impressive looking, actually!

[ She says with a little wink, now having made it over and smiling at Eren? That said, she settles in next to him, setting her bag down on the table as well. Were we intending to just work with cards? She might have some other things in mind here, but ah well. ]

[usurpers]

It was kind of crappy.

[ huff! but in a way that represents very short laughter. ]

Have something better?

[nachetanya]

Oh, I've got something fun, yeah.

[ And she opens the bag to reveal!!

... Three boxes of some lego sets. Just some random ones (one of them is Star Wars, two of them are some sort of generic fantasy, she just wanted to have a variety of block colors ] Taaa daa!

[usurpers]

[ eren looks over the goods rather loosely until he almost does a double take because is that an all terrain armored transport

that is an all terrain armored transport, that is a giant

robot






]

Can I do this one.

[ p

lease

he doesn’t have this one ]

[nachetanya]

... Sure, but the point was to do an art piece...?

[ So to be!! You know!! Creative!! ]

[usurpers]

[ you know when someone just beelines for the last piece of cheesecake, well, this is sort of like that, except it’s a lego box to build a giant robot and eren grunts. eren speak: okay cool.

flipping the box over and going through some of the back, eren then wastes no more time in opening the box and pulling out the instructions manual. he will have this robot. he will have it. the legos are poured carefully into a pile by his side, making room and just sort of pushing the cards away he doesn’t care about that anyone, and begins searching for the base legos. ]

This is an art piece.

[ natty you’ve gone too deep, save yourself ]

[nachetanya]

I don't know about that...

[ Right? Because this doesn't... like. It doesn't express something from within, does it? That said, she spills out both of the other two boxes, mixing out the pieces a little as she tries to figure out what would be the best way to make a piece. Huh. ]

[usurpers]

Seriously? It’s supposed to be more than twenty meters tall.

[ how is that not a work of art??? and he has it now, forming in his hand . . . except, sopoiler, eren ends up building mechas like he does horror ikea pieces: only realizes he has the entire thing done backwards when he’s almost done. ]

It doesn’t have all the details but it’s still pretty big by model . . . [ he says, half mumbling to himself as he snaps legos together. ]

[nachetanya]

[ . . . Holy shit. Holy shit boy. ]

Well, if mechas are what's in your heart, then it probably still counts.

[ It's said with a little giggle though. ]
