Old Friends 1. Just chillin’. You just enjoy each other’s company, and you’re spending time somewhere that the only thing that matters is both of you, doing your thing. 2. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Hey man, my car broke down. Also, I might have to come stay with you a while because my significant other kicked me out... One of you is in a pickle! Time to test how far this friendship can go. 3. Bros b4 hos, man. Chicks b4 dicks. I’m really happy for your success in finding someone who might be interested in seeing you naked, but you need to remember that your friends need time too. Jealousy and friendly concern regarding relationships go here. 4. We’re gonna paint the town. Inflicting your friendship upon society. Maybe you’re going out for a party, maybe you’re just driving around. DO something together! Try something new! 5. I get by with a little help from my friends. You or your friend is in need of some emotional support during a difficult time. Whether it’s a shit situation or just whining, a friend is obligated to deal and give advice. Or are they? 6. Get in, loser, we’re going shopping. Whirlwind adventure time! Kidnap your a friend from their mundane schedule and play hookey! Run away together! 7. I love you, man. Showing your appreciation and affection for your friend, be it in gifts, gestures, or just an outright thank you. 8. Gurl, hold my poodle. A fight has broken out, and either one or both of you are involved. Do you/the friend break up the fight or jump right in to defend? Or maybe you’re in a situation neither of you could avoid - perhaps it’s war instead. What sort of team are you? 9. Long-lost. You’ve been driven apart by distance or circumstances, but you finally have the chance to see one another again. What’s the reunion like? 10. Misery loves company. Commiserating together. Maybe you’re stuck at a really boring afair, maybe you’re complaining about men/women/work. You’re allowed to be as nasty as you want in front of your best friends! 11. E tu, Brute? Betrayal. Whether intentional or not, one of you has let the other down. They’re not the person you thought they were. 12. I only tell you this because I care. Advice, possibly unsolicited. Your friend has been doing something you don’t like and you’re going to let them know. Yes, that dress does make you look fat. 13. Thinking of you. So I saw this hat on my way through the mall and thought of you! I found this cool/funny video and thought I’d pass it on! I felt like baking cookies and thought you might appreciate some. 14. Why are we friends, again? Argument! Know someone long enough and you’re bound to get in a few! Is someone just in a terrible mood? Or is there an actual issue? Fight it out, big or small! Small to big? 15. Too good of friends. Make-up prompt. You two got into it, and now it’s someone’s turn to step up and be the bigger person to preserve the friendship. How do you show you’re sorry? Is forgiveness possible? 16. Obligatory wildcard. Pick your own! New Friends Icebreakers for new interactions! Reasons (Optional): 1. Convenience. You work together and carpool. You’re neighbors. You have the same classes. It’s just easier to get along than ignore each other. 2. Through an Acquaintance. They’re a friend of a friend, so naturally, you’ve had to deal with them every so often. But maybe you want to see what they’re like when it’s just the two of you? 3. Hardship. They came to help you out when you needed it, despite being a stranger. Comrades in arms. 4. Intrigue. You seem pretty cool. Want to hang out sometime? Prompts 1. Party. So you should be friends with me, because I can drink a yard of beer and I’ve got the moves like Jagger. 2. Venue. Going to the movies, having lunch together, checking out the fair that came through town. It’s like a date, except getting to know them doesn’t come tied with a relationship. 3. Favor. Hey, I’m going out for a weekend. Would you mind feeding my cat? Can I borrow a little bit of money and pay you back later? 4. TMI. Um. No, I didn’t know you had a foot fetish! And I’m really not sure how I feel about it. I really don’t care how many cats you have. I’m not at liberty to discuss how much money I have. 5. Advice. Hey, do you mind giving a second opinion? Also, you never knew this about me, but I’m actually a ninja as a night job and I can give you some help with that self-defense issue you’ve been having? 6. Philosophy. Friendship’s first deep, serious conversation. What do you think of this current issue? What’s your religious standing? 7. Call me, text me. Hey, what’s up? NM here, just bored at work. Want to play Words with Friends? Casual conversations at a distance. 8. Forced association. Well, I’d better get going... nevermind, it looks like it’s flooding outside. Um. Usually the drive is ten minutes, but usually traffic isn’t a fifty-car pile-up... know any showtunes? 9. Upgrading. Roll from the Old Friends category and see if this friend is able to take the leap! 10. Wildcard Yep. meme by ![]() |

Old friends -> Misery loves company
But right now her Psynergy's been depleted. The ship, though it has the wings from Contigo, is in the water; Sheba doesn't have the energy to bring it - or herself - back into the air with Hover. She's clinging to the ship's railing, looking down at the water, and trying really hard not to hurl.
Slowly, she raises her head and looks to the party's other Jupiter Adept.] How much longer until we get to Prox...?
no subject
His face is positively pallid as he turns his bright eyes to meet her's.] Not long, I don't think. I hope.
[He groans, slipping down on his knees to rest his forehead against the cool metal.] But every second feels like an eternity...
no subject
[Sheba buries her face in her hands and takes a deep breath, trying to focus on something - anything - other than the churning of her stomach. She could barely stand to keep her feet on the ground normally! Keeping her feet on the ground like this was just torture. She'd take falling off a lighthouse over this any day of the week.]
Why couldn't we just fly the whole way to Prox...?
no subject
[He gives a chuckle, though it's notably diminished from how his laugh would normally sound. After a second, Ivan drops his voice to a low whisper.] Honestly? I think it's because nobody wanted to have to hear Garet whine about it.
[And they both knew he would. The big baby.]
no subject
Like he's not going to complain anyway... [She takes a breath before trying to deepen her voice in a pale, sickly imitation of Garet.] Are we catching fish for dinner again?! ...hah...
If we were taking more breaks we could dock somewhere and go to an inn and they'd make meat... he'd be happy.
no subject
He should be happy, anyway. [Sure, it wasn't Garet's idea to head to Prox by sea--he was much more the type to try and hike the entire way even if it was improbable or dangerous.] He's not the one who's seasick. I'd eat fish every night for the next ten years if it meant I could have the energy left to complain with.
no subject
[She pulls a face at his next words and nods in agreement.] I guess fish isn't so bad, but... I'd give almost anything for a nice hunk of roast lamb... [She sinks down to a sitting position and sighs heavily. Traveling left a lot to be desired, as far as eating went.] That'd give me more than enough energy to complain. I just know it would.
[It would also give her more to throw up, but eh. Details.]
no subject
[...it really wasn't much of a bright side. In fact, it was more of a slightly-less-terrible side.]
no subject
[Which would be drastically unfortunate, given that they needed to make absolutely sure that that the beacon on Mars Lighthouse was lit. It would be sort of difficult to accomplish such a thing if they were all suffering from scurvy and various other illnesses contracted at sea.]
...some of the old women back in Lalivero used to say that fish was good for the brain, though. I wonder if that's true? I guess we'll know if Garet starts showing more common sense by the time we arrive.
no subject
[And Ivan didn't even want to imagine the careful attention and training it took to be a sailor. It definitely wasn't an occupation he was planning on picking up. Really, anything that involved a decent amount of muscle mass ruled him out.
The kid was a bit on the shrimpy side. Not that he cared to admit it. Or think about it.]
I don't know. Maybe it does good for the brain, but I doubt it can cure stubbornness.
[And Ivan had a feeling that most of Garet's silly griping stemmed not from a lack of common sense, but a lack of will to listen to his common sense.]
no subject
[Just think of all the uses it could have! And if it was a cure that had to be taken in small doses, well, whoever managed to come up with it could be guaranteed a good amount of orders from the Warriors of Vale. Garet's strongmindedness could be endearing at times, but other times it was just... well...
It tended to land him in a lot of hot water. See: Jupiter Lighthouse.
Sheba manages another chuckle and shifts a little so that she can look at Ivan. Her stomach is starting to settle a little, though whether it's because the waves are also starting to settle or because of the distraction is anyone's guess.]
I can't wait until we get to dry land again, even if it is cold up there. [None of them are really dressed for the cold, save for Mia. For a moment Sheba debates borrowing a warmer cloak from her, but then she decides against it.]
no subject
[He'd been all over the place in his adventures--both with Isaac and Garet and Mia and everyone else and also with Hammet. Though he wasn't exactly raised in a desert city, everywhere he could call home was more on the warm side than the cold side.
Suddenly, as his eyes meet Sheba's, Ivan can't help but crack a wide grin despite his (faintly subsiding, thankfully) sickness. The blonde boy beings to laugh.]
I guess we should probably take it a bit easier on Garet, huh? If we're going somewhere cold to travel, we're probably going to need the help of his Psynergy [And Djinn.] to stay warm!
[But he was just such an easy target.]
