All That Glitters (Open)
Who: Lahabrea, open
When: 6thish of Feoveuer
Where: Various Jewelry Shops
What: Acquiring some cursed sparklies!
Warnings: Contains sexy cursed sparklies. If someone puts one on who knows what might happen. General warnings for Lahabrea being a constant raging jerk.
It is the first time Lahabrea has ever gone out in public since arriving in anything but all concealing robes and crimson mask. He has been informed that doing so makes him stand out considerably more than he otherwise would, which he still begged to differ given he was brilliantly scarlet and gold in the dead of winter and was going to stand out no matter what he did. But he'd decided to allow it for ONE venture out, replacing comfortable black robes with ... equally black pants and a rather ruffly black shirt, brightly colored plumage ruffled up against the wind and snow, and gone shopping.
Which is where he can be found right now, in fact. He'd heard rumor of good prices to be had of some fairly expensive jewelry, and it surely wouldn't do any harm to increase his small hoard any.
The only problem is he's having trouble finding anything he feels is exquisite enough.
At one such pop-up ramshackle shop in the entertainment district, the half-changed dragon picks silently and deliberately through the offerings of jewels and finely wrought silver and gold, expression fixed in a scowl. He's slow about it, examining this one or that one, occasionally placing it against crimson feathers to see how it looks before setting it back down, tail a slow steady sweep behind him. Although he hasn't finished his changes yet, the ascian turned dragon certainly looks very nearly so - the only thing that would be needed to complete the image is a pair of wings, but the rest is there, from horns to fangs, to curved ivory claws delicately laced in amongst the treasure in offering.
The shopkeep doesn't seem very pleased by his silent scrutiny. No .. maybe extremely nervous is a better suggestion, by the beads of sweat dotting his brow as Lahabrea examines his wares with excruciating care.
All of the jewelry in offering certainly looks amazing! It flashes in the light, it glitters temptingly, it looks to be of artisanal craftsmanship, and the prices are absolutely phenomenal! What else could be asked for? Except maybe that all of it wouldn't be cursed, but Lahabrea's oblivious to that particular ominous looming threat.
Very slowly, a chain of braided black, silver and sapphire stones is held up. Examined carefully under the shop's less than amazing lights, and the dragon finally speaks, his voice a dry, unpleasant rasp.
"Do you have this in garnet and gold..?"
... Well, if it's good enough for a dragon..
