[Log] A sort of magic... do you want it?

Characters: The Magic Peddler
Open? Yes~
Where: Everywhere~
When: All day the 15th of Rebirth's Decline.
What: The Magic Peddler is out selling his wares. What plot significant magical and cursed little doodad 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, and can often be lurking plot devices. If you have a specific sort of object you'd like your character to get, PM or stick it in your reply!]]

[ And the Magic Peddler will find another potential victim buyer today as Helios walks around a bit more chipper and cheerful thanks to his recently healed arm. It's nice not being in tremendous pain and Helios likes it very much. He'll wander over at some point looking at the items with interest. ] This is a rather amazing collection you have.
folklorist: (Ever so curious)

Not that I can think of. Surprises could be cool though. >:3

[ Helios will smile back and nod as he looks over the amazing collection. ] It must have taken you quite a long time to accumulate all of these. Are all of them, ah, m-magically enhanced in some way?

[ Helios is no stranger towards enchanted objects that's for certain. ]
folklorist: (Considering)

Awesome!

All of them, really? [ Helios looks over the items once more with a very keen interest now. His gaze ticking back to the elder man when he says that. ] I've never heard of someone being immune to magic before. But, ah, well this place is a bit different in that way isn't it?

[ He pauses momentarily. ] Are you really thinking of s-selling them?
folklorist: (I'm just your average headmaster yep)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-08-17 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah that's very true, very true. [ Helios will return the smile, albeit a bit sheepishly as he does so. ] Whose hearts call out to them, hm.

[ His own eyes gaze around at the objects no single one pulling at his own heart at the moment. ] I suppose it's one of those if you're destined to have it then it should be yours.

[ Helios rubs his chin and nods with an acknowledging nod. ] N-No nothing in particular for myself really. J-Just browsing I suppose.

[ Though perhaps he could get Ginia something for putting up with him and getting injured because of him. ]
folklorist: (Ah that's going to leave a mark)

Ah. W-Well something of a scholar. I-I run a school back home. But, um, here I'm just well a normal man. W-Wizard they...this place gave me the t-title of a wizard. Why?

"Ah..." Helios will take the book with cold hands a hand running over the cover and leather. It wasn't any book he was familiar with but it was strange that the pages were all blank.

"Wh-what does it do? Do you know? W-Writing on the pages I mean." Something like this is bound to have some consequence isn't it? Most magical artifacts acted like that anyway.
folklorist: (I suppose that works)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-08-21 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Helios nods with a warm smile. "Th-thank you then. It's, um, very lovely. I-I'll make sure to be careful with it."

And he might experiment over the course of the day with it too.

"There's always time to learn you know? I-I'm sure that things often lost can be found at-at some point." An optimistic outlook Helios has.

((ooc; Ohoho this is going to be so devious!))
folklorist: (Er. Um. Don't kill me please)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-08-23 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Helios laughs sheepishly as he rubs the back of his neck. "O-Oh! No need to, um, thank me. I-I should really be thanking you f-for this." He shrugs with the book in his arms.

"D-Do you...want any payment for it?" It seems a bit unfair to just take it like this after all.
folklorist: (I came across a strange thing)

[personal profile] folklorist 2012-08-27 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
"O-Oh. I see. W-Well thank you, very much. I-I'll be sure to take good care of it." A pause as he looks over the other things.

"Would it...be too much to ask if, um, you have any information on the places where you acquire these things?" Helios would love to visit especially if magical items and artifacts are in the picture.
folklorist: (Never seen anything like it)

"I suppose you're right." He'll look over the book again with a small smile.

"I'll have to try and see how it works. I-I wonder if anyone c-can write in it." Hm. All good things to consider and think about. He gives the peddler a nod and a warm smile. "Thank you again."
