[open] Inkchanted things, Quests, some general prompts

Who: CĂş 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 CĂş. 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 CĂş'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. ]



「 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 by [personal profile] tryhard 」



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 CĂş 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. ]


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.

[ She had known she would find him here, had followed the pull in her chest to the shop. The Bond is useful that way, but even without it, Lex thinks she would have looked here for Caster - for CĂş - first. ]

Do you cover scars?

[ She asks it simply, stepping in closer with Dogmeat already patting past to curl up in his favorite spot in the shop. Lex likewise finds a seat, watching her Bonded work with curious eyes. ]

Facial ones, specifically.

[ The incision along her cheekbone, where the wire had hung for weeks, reminding everyone that Lex was both more than human and chimera and that she had been tortured, cut open like a science experiment. ]

[ There's a quiet hum of thought as Lex considers the question. ]

More permanent, [ she decides, ] but I'd like it to be able to be enchanted? And- to reclaim it. I don't want it to look like a bandage, to look like I'm hiding something under it. I want it to look...

[ She isn't certain of the best words. She can only grasp for the feelings and try to feed them across the bond. She wants the tattoo to help showcase her strength, the stubbornness, her ferocity even when she hadn't had talons and sharp teeth. She is the Lone Wanderer, wanted across the wastes, spoken of in awe - and while she had hated it, hated the attention, there is no getting away from being Mirrorbound here. And so if they won't let her just be Lex, she will be More than that. ]

Do you understand?

[When Near enters he hesitates a moment at the door, taking everything in with a flat, possibly thoughtful gaze. He hadn't spent too much time in the interior proper last time he'd been there. Then he walks purposefully toward CĂş.]

I may need some... touch ups. At least until the full moon.

[He holds his wrists out. The areas around the recently painted markings on his wrists have been scratched red, with some areas open and scabbing. The actual design has been marred.]

I've gotten better at not scratching, but it's difficult.

[ The doorbell rings, and a gust of cold wind blows into the parlour. Raemiel has a full-body cloak on, covering his body completely, so that he looks somewhat like a chess piece.

He strides past the employees, heads straight to Cu at the back of the shop. ]


Someone told me you have knowledge of magic to extend life. Is that true?

[ His tone is blunt but not rude, the chill rolling off him like a winter breeze. ]

[It had been some time since they'd caught up. Heck, Maria had seen Archer twice in the time since she'd last had a long conversation with Cu, it felt long overdue. What she's not expecting is running into the man at the wine shop that had put out a call for help. She'd been a little less reluctant this month to help out the Aefenglom locals; and besides, this one seemed a good opportunity to make some money, and then turn around and spend it on the wine they had helped make.

The owner had said they were expecting one more volunteer for this batch, and when the door chime signals someone coming in, Maria turns to find... well, that familiar face she hadn't expected. Maria nods to him, quietly, as the owner inquires if he's the other one that had volunteered to come in and make some wine today.
] Good afternoon.

[Near didn't come here seeking medical attention, but he did foresee the possibility of concern toward what he was considering relatively minor injuries. He frowns, but allows it. He's never really been the most self-sufficient of people.]

The pain is minor. It's the itching that's an annoyance. [It's a constant nuisance under his skin. The whole surface of it feels like it wants to break free but isn't ready yet. Part of him wants to try tearing it all off at once so he can be done with it.] It's the worst around my scalp and my extremities.

I can only assume my scales are starting to grow in, but I don't know how long the process will take. [Or what it will entail, as no actual scales are visible yet.]

I need information.

[ To the point, as always. ]

I have a customer who wants your tattoos to be done on a human about to expire. I am inclined to refuse them, but I need your confirmation or denial of its efficiency.

[ He's neglected to tell Caster that he works at a funeral parlour. ]

quest #2, possible NSFW

[Archer recognizes the voice before he registers the words. He's been, in fact, following the pull of their Bond as he tries to find CĂş. Lack of recognition must be because he's holding his wings wrapped around his shoulders like a fancy cloak instead of simply folding them like most dragons do.

He half-turns, notices the bottle Caster is holding, and starts to chuckle. Well, the joke is— he opens his hand to show identical sample. Guess who offered to test it with a willing partner.]


Fancy meeting you here.
boneofsword: (together with you)

[personal profile] boneofsword 2020-03-05 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[If asked about the Witch aura Archer would admit that he finds it captivating. Fiery glow of crimson eyes and glowing shapes flickering on his lover's skin are charming and fits his nature.

CĂş's hand is warm when Archer takes it and pulls him even closer.]


What about this place? [he indicates the building half-hidden by two others, some of its windows painted in rose motifs. He knows the madame here, did some fancy ironwork for her and knows her house is open to all.]

[Some spots are a lot worse than others, but every part of him has been itching to some extent. Whatever spot he chooses to have the tattoo redone on he'll just have to be certain to avoid scratching at it as much as possible.]

Higher up on my arms could work. It's not quite as bad there.

[It's also less likely to be rubbed off by his clothes there than somewhere like his back. He could keep his sleeves shorter to nonexistent. It's not a style he prefers, but all his protective enchantments from the cold will work better than heavy clothing anyway.]

[Tattoos have kind of a bad rap where Momo comes from, so when he first helped out with the batteries and the paint touch-ups at Inkchanted when he first arrived, the paintings drew his eye much more. Even beyond the fact that his industry means he doesn't have the luxury of modifying his body anywhere it would be seen, it's something he's used to being far more trouble than it's worth. Still, he can't deny that having a sneaky enchantment up his sleeve for certain situations could be an advantage, so once he lands some regular work, he's more than ready to come back in and inquire about his options.

He's more inclined to drop in during the business day proper rather than incredibly early or late, and gives a cheerful wave when he recognises Caster.]
Hey. Got a few minutes to enlighten someone who's still not real familiar with enchantment options here? I'm wondering if I could get some kind of protective or healing spell painted, but I don't know what would be the most useful here.

[Also the fact that his world is mundane as hell compared to most of the people here means he's still getting his head around the exact workings of enchantments in general, especially since he's not following that magic class at all just yet.]

I was only here to get some information... but I see now that it was only a matter of time before we met.

[Lorenz smiled at Cu, recognizing that face from the conversation they had earlier in the week regarding the absense of a mutual friend. The tattoo parlor had caught his eye several times, both in his periodic frequenting of the docks both to admire the sea and eavesdrop on the scuttlebutt, and during the battery charging practice they had offered the month previously. Hooking his cane, which he now barely needed but kept just in case the slick and roughened cobblestones tripped up his footing for his recently grown in hooves, Lorenz closed the door behind him and admired the facilities.]

It's a pleasure to meet you in person, Sir Caster.

We're going to play a hand in a very mushy process, more like. [Which might normally come off as a joke - from Maria, which is a rarity - but there's a bit more of a serious tone there. She's actually just stating a fact. It's going to be weird to feel squishing fruit between her toes, but, hey, at least she gets a discount on the wine later.]

We'll likely be in our own tubs; is it a dance competition? I'm afraid I'm not very good by myself. [Such a lie.]
boneofsword: (Impressive)

[personal profile] boneofsword 2020-03-07 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Caster's reaction sparks his own. Archer has been hoping for it, after all the time spent recovering. He leans so close that he can feel the warmth seeping off his lover's skin. So close that his lips brush Caster's cheek.]

They have comfortable beds. Comfortable and sturdy. [it's something he heard from the madame, not what he knows from experience.]
