Quest 015

[Attempted Private//Woefully Hackable]

I'm going to have to be very careful of her. I should've known she'd turn out to be a witch; it's like Lolotte all over again--the way she talks, the orders she gives. And that was always the fear, wasn't it? That if anyone can come here, alive or dead...that she could find me? She swore to have her revenge, but there was little to fear from it back home. A dead witch remains dead...but that's not so, not here.

At least I was careful. With any luck, she'll think me nothing more than a silly peasant girl, just like Lolotte did. And if she thinks I'm useful to her, then maybe...no. I'm not about to start making any elaborate plans, not in a place where no one stays dead for long. Especially when the people who know her far better than I are cautioning others against her. I'll have to be very careful, then, won't I...

I don't like this one bit. But it settles one thing; if there was ever a time or a need to learn about magic, it would be now.

Another curse, is it? At least this one isn't so disruptive as the last. After all, there are far worse things than waking up to find a letter emblazoned on the back of your hand.

H
Still, I don't know what it could stand for. If it's supposed to represent a sin, why isn't it an M? Happy? Helpful...?

And speaking of things that start with H--if a Mr. Harry Dresden should chance upon this, I would like to have a word with you, please, sir.


[OOC: Here's the fun thing about morality in King's Quest--killing is bad and nonviolent solutions are best...unless the person you're killing is evil. In which case, it's all good, 'cause they clearly have it coming anyway. Hypocrisy much? This curse thinks so.]

Is there some sort of test to discover if a person has the ability or not?

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

I should be able to tell if I can teach you or not.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

We would have to meet in person, then?

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

I'm good, but not so good I can sense if you can use magic over the network.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I'll take that as a yes. What time would be most convenient for you?

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

I'm free most of the day. How about 2 o'clock?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

That will be fine. Do you have a location in mind?

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

My shop is Amulets and Enchantments, if you'd like to meet me there.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

All right, I'll find my way over.

[OOC: Late response is late 'cause I checked in with the mods--her ability to use magic is limited to the ritual and object-based variety. So if he's looking for inherent magic ability, he probably won't find any; she needs something with magic already stored in it in order to accomplish anything. Just as a heads-up!]

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Gaahhhh, sorry about the delay! If you'd like to have her purchase some magical items/charms we can work something like that out!]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Not a problem! Having her pick up a magical item or two sounds fine to me--any suggestions? I'm not sure what kind of stuff Harry stocks.]

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Some protection amulets and other things. Anything you want her to have and can get mod approval for, really.]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Mmkay, I've put together a short list of ideas. I'm gonna run it by the mods and if it's cool with them, I'll pick a few and let you know.]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Aaaaand mod approval is go! Specifically, I've gotten approval for her use of amulets and a short list of rather mundane spells gratuitously borrowed from the D&D wiki that she can work with them.

I like the idea of her carrying some sort of protection amulet, so that'd be one. And I'm thinking that an amulet that gives her "Animate Rope" might be fun to play around with. Rope sold separately. How's that sound to you?]

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Generic protection amulet from low level spells and attacks and such? And anything else the mods approved would be fine. If he can't make it he can get it somewhere in the Underground and such.]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Generic protection works for me; let's go with those two. One other quick question, though--will these amulets ever require recharging, since she doesn't have magic to sustain them herself?]

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

[ooc: It wouldn't need to be recharged, no. But it might need to be replaced if she gets hit with big magic.]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Okay, I'll keep that in mind.]
