[open] Inkchanted things, Quests, some general prompts
Who: Cú Chulainn (Caster) and you!
When: through Mareuer
Where: Aefenglom, the Wilde
What: Inkchanted things, Quests, some random prompts
Warnings: one of the quests could go NSFW, will update if necessary
INKCHANTED, business hours
[ Even before opening the business harbor has been very familiar to Cú. Now it's closing onto the range of "second-home" especially as the staff's room of Inkchanted allows crashing over for a night. Something both he and Waver have been doing not just once, or twice. Workshop and office rooms certainly helps. Now with the daily rhythm, of coming here everyday it starts to feel even more so. Though Cú's also aware that while right now the familiarity is grounding, it might one day become something he feels tired of.
It is not yet that day, and it is not close any time soon. ]
A )
[ Should you arrive in early hours, just before opening, or just before closing, you might find him inside, unceremoniously working a tattoo into his own skin. It's still might be very much in progress or close to what it is intended to be, depending on the day of the visit. A clear sound of a bell rings every time someone opens the front door even if the bell itself is not connected to the door, and placed in the main room ]
Ah, are you here for a session or to set up one? [ Caster tilts his head seeing early/late client or guest, but does nothing to dissuade them to leave ] Come in here, it's empty for now.
B )
[ Entering during the proper business hours guarantees a similar, welcoming treatment. No one is put away, albeit they might need to put you on the calendar first, depending on what kind of spell or design you'd like to take. Paintings and small tattooed spells, or touch-ups can be made on the spot should there not be anyone on the chair (or someone has canceled appointment), larger projects typically need to be put on the calendar.
Any inquires regarding the materials in enchantment used will be answered, but if someone askt the question of too much detail he will put his finger to lips and playfully declare it a trade secret. ]
QUEST #2 - L'Amourtentia (can go NSFW)
[ Maybe the bubbling energy comes from the official mark of his recovery, maybe it's the side-effects of the Moons (or rather whatever bleeds on the Bond he has with his Monsters), but enjoying the evening, the bars, and everything else the Entertainment District has to offer to the fullest— it just seems like that type of night today. Sometimes this is exactly where the city feels more alive.
Perhaps that's how Cú finds himself, and so do few other people, handed the samples of famed Kiss of the Rose. What an unexpected surprise. ].
It would be rude to refuse such a gift, no? [ There's teasing lilt to his voice, playing it off as a joke. But truth is, he can't really refuse food or drink being handed to him by a woman. He's not willing to try breaking off his geis, besides it's not like he's opposed to it in the first place. ]
And there are a few places around that would allow the quiet spot to drink.[ Lounges are one, pleasure houses are other if the drink really could work as advertised. ] Though last time they were giving these there were mazes covering the district to give one another a chase
[ Ah yes, Litha. That was fun. ]
QUEST #3 - Strae
[ It takes a moment to gather all the information needed. Seeking a fabled flower to save the love of one's life— good material for a story, but... it's close to a sad ending, isn't it? Fortunately, a few rounds of drinks and an acquainted Wilder confirms the existence of said flower ]
Sorrowful Sapling tree— Truly a crying tree they said. Looks like we got a large area to cover if we want to find it, let's make it on time.
[ That's the last moment to check supplies and get some new ones before heading out. All the equipment for the expedition, check. Some alchemical tools to extract and transport the flower. If not for the threat of Cwyld in the marked area, he'd take his druid staff but this time he opted for a dragon-scale spear. It's lined with carved enchantments and needs just a bit of magic to activate the spells— magic is effective against the Cwyldtid. ]
Are you ready? [ The expedition is marked by an air of sombreness and urgency, but there is still something almost up-beat about going outside the city. ]

｢ ooc: if your character participated in the battery-charging fun at the beginning of February/or got a tattoo/painting already, and you'd want to handwave some initial introductions, let me know. The tattoos are ICly handled by CU, painted spells by Waver, only they need to be at the end enchanted by a witch after finishing (either Cu or Iskandar, depending on the type of spell). More info here, there's also a pinterest board for a reference for the tattoos/magical batteries/and jewelry available and also for a board for decor made bytryhard ｣

WILDCARD + shorter prompts
｢ ooc: Wildcard aka hit me with whatever, but also a few prompts/facts that are a thing but didn't get their own prompt. If you're interested in any of that let me know and I can write you a starter, or just hit me with yours :
- occasionally he can be found fishing in quieter spots of the harbor
- just meeting him at some kind of bar crawl is easy enough for more social situations
- alternatively, he also hangs around DiplomaTea, prefers this place to study/research spells in fact
- Coven lessons, while his general specialization fluctuates between Evocation-Enchantment-Alchemy for the first time ever he can be found attending Abjuration classes. Yes, he is starting to study healing and protection spells.
- can be found chilling in the garden of his cottage, spending time with very lethargic and zzz Petalwolf (looks they prefer burying for winter most of the time). The gardens remain green despite the winter thanks to a combination of his own Enchantments and Fauns magic. A spot for plants that require winter hibernation has been made outside of the green zone. While Garden Warfare seems to be paused, be warned that trespassers might still accidentally walk onto, screaming plants ant the like.
I'm always open for plotting through plurkaetarna, discord: shuu#0043 or PM ｣
inkchanted b - Mikasa did the battery charging and cleaning but probably didn't talk
A fae. One of the monsters with a weakness to the Cywd and more prone to infections.
It was a long shot but she'd ask. Quietly walking in and waiting until someone seemed free.]
Do you have anything that would help prevent infections?
[Like would deflect blood splatter. Creating a barrier. She didn't know how any of this worked.]
no subject
With a gesture he invites inside, another one to indicate the 'take a seat' ]
That's a bit broad wish. We might have something, but the more we can narrow it down, the better will be the results.
[ Infections cover many things ]
Are you prone to getting colds and coughs? Or is it blood infection, and you're expecting getting wounded without the ability to dress the wound quickly? [ Or is worry about Cwyld? ]
no subject
I was hoping for something that could help block Cywd infected blood from making contact. It's hard to dodge the splatter in a fight. And I've been told I'm more likely to catch it.
[But the other ones sounded useful as well. ]
no subject
[ At the end of the day, Enchanting a person is a much different thing than any kind of object enchantment. It took him weeks to find someone even dabbling in this form of magic at all, let alone learn it ]
It would be an interesting project to undertake, but also— [ Can't really ask a customer for being a guinea pig, no? ] It would take time. I imagine you need more immediate results. The first thing comes to mind is an enchantment that would make liquid not stick to your body.
[ So, making a fae extremely hydrophobic ]
no subject
That would work. Especially if I came across something that spat...But wouldn't that cause issues as well, for drinking and washing?
[There was also the factor of her insides. Because they also had quite a bit of water...Or she assumed. She was looking to avoid blood from other bodies, but her's bled too.]
no subject
Drinking... probably not, as only outside of your body would be affected. But yes before attempting a shower you'd have to deactivate the spell.
[ He snaps his fingers and creates a flame on top of his finger, lines tattoos running around his palm light-up... then immediately the light fades when he puts the flame out ]
It seems highly specialized for few and far between situations. [ Fights in the Wilde ] So you'd keep it not running for the majority of the time. And well, if the tattoo is not activated, its effect is not happening. But if you're worried about something going awry and not being able to take it off... just take off whatever is working as the magic battery.
[ As a Monster she is not a source of the magical energy herself ]
no subject
Okay, the eyes widen again as she blinks at the flames. Only just understanding the example. Giving another blink as she stares at where the lights had been on his hand. Mikasa knew they were tattoos and that they'd be visible, she hadn't expected the lights though. There's another few seconds of silence before she swallows.]
And how are they turned on or off?
no subject
Focus mostly. A word might help, or a gesture. But after some practice, it's going to activate simply according to your will.
[ Way of casting magic that suits him far better than the regular way of forming spells. Especially when it's outside the walls and facing danger ]
Chanting spells and making complicated gestures never was my style.
Probably close to the end here
I see... Do you know how much something like that would cost? [And there's a small huff. Because she should mention this in advance.] I probably won't be able to get anything for awhile though.
[She poor.]
