Cobalt's Heart - session 2

I carry you with me across these
barren lands, stretched dry and dark between
regions of kindness.

Generous with your warmth,
you have shown me
a path to guide my heavy legs and stumbling heart.

Generous with your patience,
you have shown me
how lucky I was to have something worth mourning.

I don't have any weapons, but Shen can probably help you.

[her eyes point to Cobalt when she says that. He's over there making some tea, waving at you!]

We have plenty of meteor shards, though. What kinds are you looking for?

[Waves back at Cobalt?]

[Weren't you outside???]

[But she knows about the shards, so he can wait to ask Cobalt about weapons for a second]

Uh. What kinds are there?

There are four kinds, and each has different types of magic.

[She walks around the room, plucking them out of the decorations, like they're just more of the lights]

Red ones are for elemental magic, like ice and fire. Green can heal people or slow someone down. Blue is supportive, to protect people and cheer them on. Yellow... I don't know what that does, but you could try it?

[She hands you one of each]

How many would you like? We have plenty.

Uh... as many as you can spare, I guess? And, like. Somethng to carry em in. A bag or whatever.

Hmm, let's see what we can do.

[she walks around the room, plucking colorful bits of metal from around the room like easter eggs, handing them to you one by one as she goes.]

[at the end, along with the ones you already got, you get:

3x yellow
2x green
4x blue
1x red

and a canvas shopping bag to carry them in.]

Is this too heavy? Can you carry it alright?

No, this is great.

Thanks, dude.

[Putting the new ones, plus 1x yellow, 1x green, 1x blue, and 1x red into the bag, and then putting the whole thing into the Armiger]

Anything for you, Hurricane.

[She smooths down his hair and puts a little kiss on top of his head]

Okay, I'll let you go talk to Shen about the other things.

[Oh no, adult affection, what do]

[He hesitates, then reaches out to give her a quick hug]

...for real. Thanks.

This'll be a big help.

[One last squeeze of his shoulder]

Good luck out there.

[Meanwhile, Cobalt's over there in the kitchen making some tea. He looks about the same as usual, minus the antlers.]

[wave wave]

Hey, dude.

Weren't you outside...?

Me? Nah, I've been here for a while now.

I'm glad you made it to the party! You doing alright?

Yeah, I'm doing just fine.

We, uh. We could use a little help, though.

Oh? What's up?

You got any spare weapons?

Oh, sure, I got plenty.

What kind do you need? Anything particular?

Whatever you can spare.

Alright. Let's see...

[He holds out his hands and starts pulling stuff out of his armiger one by one, handing them to Hurricane as he goes. It's all sort of junk: katanas, a broadsword that's taller than he is, shields, crossbows, a squeaky hammer comes out by accident but he shrugs and gives it to Hurricane anyway. And this broom too, why not.]

How's that?

[squeaky hammer,]

Man. You're really ready for anything, huh.

How about it? Think this stuff is going to work?

I mean, I ain't really sure what we're up against?

But this is a pretty good range. Should be ready for about anything.

Sounds good. Anything else you need?

There anything else you think we'll need?

Hmm...Well, if you're doing some fighting, then I expect the flood lights at the wall should ward off most of it, and the weapons and shards would cover everything else...

I dunno! Are you hungry? Would you like a snack?

I better not. I gotta get moving.

There's someplace else I gotta stop, if I got time.

Sounds good! I'll leave you to it, then.

Good luck out there!
