Wym didn't actually remember who'd been the one to suggest going to the relatively.. Strange part of town where the wizard's shop resided. Was wizard the right term? Maybe he was a sorcerer, or a warlock.

The building was squished between two others, one an abandoned sword shop and the other a suspicious unmarked structure. The shop was all glitz and glam, with a large glowing green sign that said "CHARMS! HEXES! MAGIC AND MORE!" in one of the windows. The windows themselves were covered by a dark pinkish curtain that was too thick to see through.

The roof was slanted and was painted a dark, dingy purple color. The brick walls were painted white and almost alarmingly well-kempt. The door was held open with a spare brick, but a long dark green curtain was hung over the doorway so they couldn't see into the actual store.

"I.. Suppose this is the place." Wym said, taking a moment to quell his excitement. He felt awake, truly awake; probably because this place just radiated magic. Whoever was inside was a powerful wizard. "We'll get that hex off you in no time."

//Gave you a nice jump-off point [member=155]Pyre[/member] and I also wrote a small guide on the store+shopkeep so you don't have to wait for me
[spoiler=Checkit homie]Description for the inside of the store:
The walls are covered in dark pink and dark green curtains and the floor is light-tinted hardwood with runes carved into every board.

Where the curtains on the wall part, there are shelves with various jars, bottles, bowls, and other trinkets. There are a few skulls of both humans and other magical creatures, specifically a troll skull, hatchling dragon skull and a saber-toothed feline skull.

The jars are filled with different substances, all unique in some way. The bottles are mostly filled with blood which have small labels on the front that mark whatever or whoever's blood is inside. The bowls are filled with trinkets like eggs, feathers, gems, and potions that are just sitting and would be nearly impossible to transport in their current form.

There's a table at the back wall that's carved dark wood, and is exquisite in its complexities. This table is the counter, and behind it usually stands Cristal though he is an enigma and can be anywhere in the store whenever he wants.

For lighting, there is a soft orange glow coming from the ceiling but doesn't have any specific spots where it's coming from. The lighting is magical btw, and may change to different colors if Cristal is in moments of heightened stress but I doubt that'll happen at any point during this thread.

Cristal's behaviors, explained:
When they enter, Cristal will somehow appear behind them once they are all fully in the store and will attempt to put one hand on Nathan's shoulder and purr out a greeting of "Hello valued customers, are you here to sell or buy?"

If Cristal is attacked, yelled at, or otherwise spooked, he'll teleport to behind the counter and will let them browse while tottering out an apology and either a very detailed description of any items they're looking at or a purposely vague description of whatever they're looking at, example:
"Ah yes, that bowl of eggs? Cockatrice eggs! Nasty little things, but absolutely delicious fully grown. Just keep a weasel or a rooster around if you're planning on hatching these badboys, alright? I wouldn't want you to meet such an unfortunate end."
"Mhm? That little thing? It's a bottle of Erin Serphent, dearie."

For pricing, make him ask for something absurd or strange. Get creative with that shit or go with the classic of him wanting a lil bit of Wym's blood.

For speech pattern, he's got an Aravale accent and (not because of his accent mind you) puts weird emphasis on certain words. If you're confused about what you should emphasis, just sound it out and pick the words that'll have the most focus or will be the most confusing/concerning.

He also uses pet names, regardless of if the character likes them. Example: Dearie/s, darling, child, etc. He doesn't use pet names that are too romantic-oriented however, and as an example he doesn't use stuff like: Honey, sweetie, etc. Darling is the exception to this rule, and he will absolutely use it as much as possible.

He won't visibly show any sort of fear towards Aenda, but his voice may grow strained when addressing her if she starts pushing him physically or psychologically.

I wouldn't suggest going too deep in his head or switching to his POV at any point, since I fear that it would kill us both. //joking but also Serious

I hope this helps keep stuff from getting blocked up! When in doubt, make shit up and we'll roll with it.[/spoiler]

princess of ellywynn // monotone freak

When telling them where she'd gotten her dark tome and about the wizard who might be able to reverse the hex, Natalie hadn't actually expected them to find the shop. She'd tried to go back to it several times, but it was gone each time. It frustrated her to no end, the knowledge that such power was out there, that she'd been there, but had lost her chance. Really, she'd only told them to give them a false sense of hope and get them off her back. And now look at where they were. In the shop. It was there, all the oddities she'd seen before there. It was annoying that the others now were there, but at least she was back and could do some shopping of her own.

Aenda didn't seem to trust this place, hovering close to Nathan, hand resting on the hilt of her sword, eyes darting around suspiciously. There may not be many gifted with magic in Ellywynn, but there were even less in Aravale. Nathan didn't seem to mind her presence, looking a bit nervous but determined, though what little intimidation he was capable of was undone by the flowers sprouting from his ears. Just as Natalie began to step away from the others, someone appeared behind Nathan and clapped a hand on his shoulder, which made the Prince jump and his knight spin around, halfway through unsheathing her blade before she realized the person wasn't a threat. Sheesh, one little hex and they get so jumpy.

"Hello valued customers, are you here to sell or buy?" The purple-haired man purred, accent sounding kind of familiar. Natalie glanced at Aenda and realized by the startled look on her face, the man was Aravanian. A long moment of silence passed. "Buy." Nathan said, stepping away from the wizard, giving Aenda room to angle her shoulder between them, not that it would do much since apparently the wizard could teleport. "We're looking for something to reverse the hex that made... these." He gestured to his ears.

Wym looked around the inside of the store, or at least he would if the shopkeep hadn't suddenly appeared behind them in what felt like a small burst of magic. He turned, the purred words not connecting to a specific accent in his mind.

"Reverse a hex you say? Mmmm.." The man hummed before sliding away from Nathan. Wym watched him walk over to a rack and pick up a vial of greenish goo. Wym looked at the royals and gave a small thumbs-up and a reassuring smile.

The man's magic was everywhere, not suffocating but simply.. Lingering. Wym knew this feeling from the main prayer hall in Tiaphaig's temple in Voln, but that magic had been a collection of the Virtues' and the Priests' collective magic.

"Can you do it?" Wym asked, taking a step forward.

"Of course, child! It'll be as quick as a flash." The shopkeep purred with a catlike grin. He was.. Very catlike actually; every movement calculated, a dim light of mischief in his eyes and most of all the background smell of cats. "I'll just need.. Mhmmm... A jar of pickled frog eyes as payment, and we're square." He said, turning back to stare at Nathan.

Wym wrung his hands, suddenly off-put. They had gold, but nothing like what he asked for. It didn't even make sense as a magical component. "Do you take gold?" He asked, reaching for his small coin purse.

"Gold? Blurgh. No, I took gold from her and she used my beautiful tome to curse the prince of this fair kingdom!" He snapped and twirled the vial in his fingers. "Don't think I didn't notice you, dearie." He said, his eyes now focusing intensely on Natalie but his voice was still light, like he was joking.

"Now, I'm sure we can strike a different deal but you'll have to have something better to offer than my precious frog eyes or some of your gold."

//Focused more on Cristal this time around than Wym but Wym isn't really doing much except providing emotional support rn
