Characters: The Magic Peddler
Open? Yes~
Where: Everywhere~
When: All day the 16th of Rebirth's Height.
What: The Magic Peddler is out selling his wares. What plot significant magical and cursed little do dad will your character acquire?

He's a slightly wizened old man; the large pack on his back has bent him over the years and his long grey beard looks to have not seen much of a comb in years. Yet he is clean, his brown tunic studded with light green tile that look like faded lily pads drifting in a muddied swamp, washed out from sun and wash. The charms hanging from the gold bands adorning his arms glitter, polished white and smooth as they clink together with every step.

There's something about him that draws the curiosity. The hopeful, the unguarded, the ambitious, those who have much to gain, those who have little to lose. He has something for them all, hidden treasures none have ever unearthed before. What is waiting for you, inside his pack?


[[OoC: All items from the Magic Peddler are two fold in nature, often cursed as well as blessed. If you have a specific sort of object you'd like your character to get, PM or stick it in your reply!]]

Walking along a dirt road Eagle was surprised to see the older gentleman with the pack on his back walking along in the same direction. That pack of his looked kind of heavy really. Was he planning to walk all the way to the next village like that? Well, Eagle decided to ask.

"Ah, excuse me. Are you traveling very far?"

I forget, did you have something in mind for him?

[thequestgiver]

"Only as far as these old bones will take me," came the pleasant reply.

Nope! I was one of those annoying 'random' people. ^_^

[for_that_i_run]

"I could help you with that for a bit, if you would like. We both seem to be going in the same direction."

Pesky random people making me think~ :)

[thequestgiver]

"Many thanks to you, oh kind sir, but I would only ask for some company on my journey. I've been carrying this pack so long, it feels as if it were part of me, and to remove it, I would lose myself."

^,^"

[for_that_i_run]

"I wouldn't mind some company myself."

It was a decently long walk to get to, well, anywhere from here. The company would be a nice change from just watching the horizon. Eagle fell into step beside the older gentleman.

"Are you a trader of some sort? Or maybe you just enjoy traveling?"

Faolan is running after a butterfly when he sees the peddler, and stops giving chase. He trots over to the man, looking at him curiously.

"Hi!"

[thequestgiver]

There was a kind smile in return. "Hello there, young man. Enjoying this fine day, are you?"

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"Yes," Faolan answered decidedly. "Sun is bright, colors are nice, butterflies are there."

[thequestgiver]

"Good boy, enjoying the simple pleasures of life," the man returned, tone pleasant. "Fond of nature, are you?"

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"Yes!" Faolan answered promptly. "Outside is good! Inside is sometimes good, too."

Rapunzel had decided that today, she was going to explore this new place a bite more. Sure, it wasn't the place where she wanted to go originally, but she thought that it had a nice little...something about it that she rather enjoyed.

With her hair trailing along behind her, Rapunzel walked barefooted along the way, looking around at the various sights that were before her. Once however made her ever so curious, she just had to talk to him.

"Hello there"

Any specific thing or type of thing you want for her?

[thequestgiver]

"Hello, young lady! Where are you of to on this fine day?" the man returned with a pleasant smile.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

[trappedinatower]

"I'm just wondering around, trying to get a better idea of this place," she said happily as she leant in slightly "What about you? You seem to be off somewhere."

I'll think of something random then. :) Serious or light hearted?

[thequestgiver]

"Aye, I'm always off to somewhere," the man replied, still smiling. "These old bones only feel at peace on the road. There's always some place to be, somewhere to explore, something to find."

Light hearted

[trappedinatower]

"Places to explore, really?" Her eyes sparkle at the thought, she had never been outside her tower and now that she had, she had wanted to explore it more and learn as much as she could. She just hoped that her mother was proud of her.

[goldeneyeball]

Who was this? Who was this peddling around in his field? At least, that's what James thought of it as. Wizards are territorial creatures and when he poked his head out the door, he narrowed his eyes. He watched the strange man for a while before creeping out of hiding.

He drew himself up and approached the stranger the same way one would a stray cat that was sunning themselves on their brand new car.

"Hey!"

[thequestgiver]

"Hello there, young man! Is this where I the great and powerful wizard of the demon shack may be found?"

[goldeneyeball]

JW rubbed his chin and looked behind him at his shack. One of the shudders fell off and crushed the pitiful-looking flowers he'd planted under the window. He groaned. Just because he was a lazy, selfish bastard didn't mean he didn't like to make his place look nice.

"Eeeeh, depends on who's askin'."

[thequestgiver]

"Just a traveling," the man replied with a smile. "I was told by a great sage that that wizard would be the one who would be able to use one of the artifacts in my possession and was charged to deliver it to him when the time came that he arrived in this world."

[goldeneyeball]

The scowl that seemed to be permanently etched into the antlered mans' face grew shallow. His brows drifted upwards. There was a prophecy? About him? He rubbed the back of his neck.

Could there possibly have been a reason he was plucked from his own time and rocketed forward, only to be snatched away again?

The potion fumes had really been getting to him.

"What kinda artifact?" He leaned to look at the things the strange man carried with him.

[tatra]

Tatra fell both into the categories of the curious and those with little to lose. Her life here in Schwanheim was peaceful and pleasant, but uneventful. She wanted to help the others with their quests, but there was little she could do.

"Hello," she called out with a pleasant smile. "How are you today?"

[thequestgiver]

"Quite well, my lady, quite well!" the man smiled pleasantly. "And yourself?"

[tatra]

"I am well," she answered cheerfully. "I haven't seen you around before."

[thequestgiver]

"That would be because I am a wanderer, my dear lady. My soul will never rest unless my body is in motion."

[tatra]

"Welcome to town, then, however long you may be staying," she answered with a small curtsey.

"Would you tell me of your wares?"
