folklorist: (I suppose that works)

ϡ - Chapter FortyThree; The third year anniversary (forward dated to the afternoon) [action|video]


[ The video feed turns on to a rather chubby little dragon wagging its tail happily as it watches a man, Helios to be more exact, standing over a glowing circle. He’s in his boom shack today, practicing a rather hard enchantment and so far it’s going well. The air in the shack is cold and the heat from the burning candles gives it an eerie fog like affect that is ever present in the video feed. Helios himself is standing at one point of the circle, eyes closed, as he mutters something under his breath. It’s an old and ancient language that not many people in his world know; runic old and ancient magicians used to use this language and then translated it into latin to make it easier to learn from. The lighting in the shack changes then, as the line of the circle turns from red to blue to purple and then green. Each color illuminating the foggy shack by the second as they constantly cycle through one another as Helios’ pitch and tone gets a bit louder and clearer. And then there is a crackling noise of energy as if stray bolts of lightning are trapped within the circle’s walls and then fizzle and flash in the video’s transmission. It’s all over with a bright flash of light and a shrill little chirp from Luminair, before the transmission goes back to normal with a sparkling smoke. It drifts lazily about the camera before Helios can be seen smiling broadly as he picks up the efforts of his work. A single solitary silver ring, now etched and engraved with magical symbols, it also holds a green emerald at its center. Helios for the record looks a bit tired as he comes over and scoops up one little dragon and said journal. It’s only then that he realizes it’s on. His green eyes widen in mild surprise but he just laughs and shakes his head. ]

Luminair you spoiled the surprise. Ah, well, I suppose it’s a good time as any to talk about it. If-if anyone was watching I recently m-made myself another ring. A, um, mirage ring to be exact! It-it helps change a person’s look by the illusion properties I enchanted this ring with. It works on dragons, werewolves, vampires, and all other sorts of mythological beings. But I’m not sure how much power this one will have, given the circumstances of Luceti. But it should work, most certainly at least when it’s not under the one hundred percent power cap or some other anti-magical shift. [ Said ring is held up to the camera and Luminair chirps in confirmation. ]

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in h-having…something of a private order type of enchanting service. I-I know that we have people here that can do so already, with specific gems and jewels from their world. Perhaps we could collaborate and, um, work together on making better more refined types of enchantments. We could probably use them to help f-fortify the defense of the village too…when you think about it! Maybe even apply defenses to the buildings and those sorts of things! If-if you’re interested in discussing it more I-I wouldn’t mind doing so at all. I think we could all benefit from such a thing, really.

[ And here he pauses looking thoughtful and rather pensive for the moment. ] It’s funny when I arrived here three years ago on this very day I never would have considered myself talking about magic so openly. Talking or evening using magic so openly, with people I-I hardly knew, in my world there’s serious ramifications for such things. But here we are, and here I am t-teaching magic like I wish to back at home. It’s a warming experience to go through, honestly. [ He wishes he would remember it once he left...if he left. Who knows if that'll happen anytime soon. And he's not sure how he feels about leaving, especially all of the people he's befriended here and the like. But like everything in this life and in general, only time may tell when such things will occur. ]

If anyone stops by the town plaza today I’ll have freshly baked cookies out for the occasion.

[ Helios likes to give something back, just to show how much he cares about the people here and how grateful he is to know them. ] It’s…sort of a way of s-saying thank you, for everything really. [ And with that Helios will turn off the video feed but leave the voice function on, in case anyone wants to talk over the journals as he goes to bake up a storm. ]

[ Action ]

[ Otherwise Helios will be found in the plaza that late afternoon with a table filled with all assortments of cookies and even a cake and pie or two. Feel free to take as much as you want, there's plenty to go around! ]

[Spock was out for his daily walk when he came across Helios in the plaza...


...with cookies.]


Greetings Professor Helios. May I inquire as to the purpose of the...baked goods?

[A familiar looking young man, lacking both his trademark headphones and sporting blue wings, is exploring the plaza curiously and in awe. The buildings and architectures are very different from what "Abel" is used to.

The sight of a table full of odd items drew his attention, bringing him to a stop and stare in curiosity.

[This intriguing display renews his interest in a man who otherwise seems so dreadfully soft-spoken and meek to him.]

And you are most welcome, my dear Helios. 'twas a charming little demonstration of clever sorcery.

[Spock nods his head...]

Then I believe a certain degree of congratulations are in order, that is a rather significant amount of time.


[Spock casts a glance over the baked goods on the table...] Is there anything here that does not contain chocolate?

Helios, you've been here for three years now? I had no idea.

[She's sitting in a chair peering into the camera, her expression curious and her tone light, even concerned.]

Would...you like some company?

Of course I'd be interested in working towards greater enchantments. The village could use them, and it'd be good for everyone if we were able to combine efforts into something stronger.

[She'll get to the time thing later, this sounded more pressing.]

[Rachel, for her part, is still adjusting to the "Everything is free" part. So, when she sees a guy out on the plaza distributing sweets, she's... a bit intrigued.]

"So you just have those out there for anybody to take?"

Ko...?

[It took him a moment to realised the man was referring to him. After the his confusion earlier in the day, it's still strange to think of "Kouki" as his name.

He glance at his blue wings, and looks back at him.

What do you mean by that?

I agree. Like how we built the wards at the shrine. Though...if I remember right, wouldn't that require some sort of focal points to build them onto?

What...was the word? Locus? Loci? Something like that?

I'll help you with the cooking then. At least I can keep the dragons out of the sugar bowls.

[From across the room, Maggir makes a rather audible squeak of frustration!]

Then perhaps something a bit more advanced than mere practice is in order. But first... [He jerks his chin towards the screen.] I should like your creature to demonstrate the power of your ring.

That is a most interesting phrase... it is used often regardless of its contrary nature.

[Spock tilts his head and walks towards the sugar cookies... and opens the container.


...he picks one up and inspects it for a moment.]

[ Hilda's out on a quick jog (gotta burn off all that christmas food) when she enters the plaza and spots the table and the assortment of baked things. The purpose of the jog seems to be conveniently forgotten when she approaches to get a closer look. ]

Hey! Mind if I have a few of those?
