[open] Mareuer catchall

Who: Urianger and various
When: the month of Mareuer
Where: Various
What: General catchall prompts
Warnings: TBD, none so far



Library (repeatedly on different days throughout the month, open to anyone)

[Over the course of the last several hours, a table in the corner of the library has become increasingly piled high with books. A very tall man with shaggy silver hair, pointed ears, and a neck a little too long for most people to be confident in calling him human is just visible over the tops of them, and in the gaps between the piles; he appears to be taking swift notes from the book currently open in front of him, and occasionally pulls a different tome from one of the stacks to consult something else in it.

It's pretty easy to catch his attention when he gets up to retrieve yet another book, if you want to talk to him. If the book you're looking for on folklore, astronomy, or abjuration magic has gone missing, there's a pretty decent chance it's in one of those piles. Sorry.]


Tea shop (early Mareuer, open to anyone)

[Urianger doesn't indulge in a lot of luxuries, but it's important to find good quality in the few he enjoys. He's examining the wares of a local tea shop, carefully sniffing at the samples. The selection is diverse, though, and most of the labels aren't quite familiar. Seeing the clerk busy helping someone else, he'll smile at a nearby fellow customer and strike up a conversation.]

Art thou familiar with the local brews? I should not be opposed to a recommendation, if thou hast any to offer.

Haven (all month, open to residents and visitors)

[The Exarch invited Urianger to take up a spare room in Haven when he arrived, which he accepted in lieu of trying to hunt down a roommate himself or - Twelve forbid - actually figure out how to earn money to pay rent somewhere. He's finding it nice, really, to live among other people again.

The time spent in Il Mheg seems to have affected his preferences for scenery somewhat; he still does most of his actual studying in his room, but when he's reading for relaxation he can be found lounging under a tree outside, or in common areas of the house if the weather is bad. He's also taken up actively tending to the garden when he's not reading somewhere, and can be found working among the plants at least a few afternoons a week.]


Wildcard

[If you want something else, hit me up on Plurk ([plurk.com profile] Renegade_one) or Discord (sylviaviridian#0158) and we'll discuss! It's safe to assume he's still learning his way around town and making friends with bookshop owners, if you want ideas to start with.]
morbide: (what'd you say?)

Right, Black Magic! That would be it. I think I've heard someone call it that before. It's as I always say: it's not the magic, but the wielder. I don't really say that, but I'm pretending I do.

I think the big difference is that we're not really told not to be careful. Why be careful when the entire point's to cause massive destruction, famine, and terror? The bigger the explosions, the better!

[Henry mimes as he speaks, especially as he talks about how big explosions should be, a broad sweep of his arms even as he holds the book. Dark mages are a Plegian staple, and it's easy to assume that anyone practicing just... comes from there. He may as well make the generalization, figures Henry.]

We're at war, us dark mages. With the Halidom. Well, we WERE at war. War's over, and I guess you could say that team dark mage-and-company lost! [WAVES ALL THAT OFF WITH A FLAT HAND...] Aaaanyway, here and now, it's Abjuration and stuff for me.
