Name: Cú Chulainn (Caster) and Waver Velvet
Date: 4th
Format: video

[ The video feed shows the interior of a place some people might already recognize: a tattoo parlor in the harbor district that has been going through renovation and refurbishing efforts with the assistance of various Mirrorbound. Those who helped out the previous month at various stages can see things brought in or helped to fix. The place looks much more put-together now, fully furnished, clean and organized.

Cu comes on screen with a wide grin. ]


Hey, Inkchanted team here! First, thank you to everyone who helped with making this— happen. And thanks to all who helped us restock. To those who don't know what it is about? We're gonna offer some enchanted tattoo services very soon. Kind of like these here.

[ He pulls down the long glove on his arm to uncover a complicated pattern made of Ogham-like runes. ]

They're spells that can be activated without chanting them out loud. You know, like how enchantment lessons teach you how to enchant objects? It's the same, only we enchant flesh. But there is one more interesting thing that we’ve got here— [He reaches out of the camera view. ] Waver, could you help and demonstrate?

[ The camera pans to the dog Turnskin, who waves a bit awkwardly, showing off a bracelet-like design of small, densely inked runes that spiral around his right wrist. ]

Hi... yes. [ Waver clears his throat, apparently a bit nervous about being on camera, but presses on. ] See, the tattoos work for nonhumans -- for Monsters, too.

[ Lifting his wrist, he shows off the runework. Then, he brings another item up to the camera with his opposite hand. It's a large shard of obsidian set in a metal backing, as if for a pendant. Waver's fingers tighten around it, and at the same time, he twists his tattooed wrist and turns his palm up.

A softly-glowing orb materializes in his hand. A light spell. ]


By combining the enchanted ink, spell tattoos, and a magically-infused source to pull from, you can use a number of spells. The source -- think of it as a battery, basically -- can be recharged.

[ Another small demonstration: the light disappears, and Waver makes another gesture, this time away from the camera. A soft breeze flutters Caster's clothes.

Caster's eyes light up with an excited flame (firewitches and their glowing eyes, eh?). This is it, a chance for Monsters to partake in magic Witches use every day. He gives Waver a friendly fistbump on his shoulder. Be proud! ]


The spell effect varies, and I'm still compiling the list of what's available, but I thought this could be a good chance to ask the Monster populace here—

What kind of spells would you be interested in? Can't guarantee everything will be possible, but we are going to look into the most sought-after options.


ooc: both Waver and Cu are going to reply under the post, depending on the subject most likely. or preference if it's mentioned

I'll take one.

[ Just that. Just saying that. Look, it's pretty obvious her disciple did the proper work, she has no reason to not just leap right into it. ]
scatmaam: (so much sweeter than it ought to be)

All this ice and cold has had me missing my element of favor, lately. It doesn't help that all this fur leads me to feeling warmer than usual.
scatmaam: (so with a wonder and a wild desire)

[personal profile] scatmaam 2020-01-10 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A small chuckle. ] Spare me the theatrics, lad. I don't need special favors but I won't be turning them away.

Besides, I'm interested in how this battery of yours will function.
scatmaam: (nothing left to lose but your wings)

You're more knowledgeable of dogs than I am. You tell me.
scatmaam: (may the devil be the judge)

[ She was fine until he got to the bit about alcohol. ]

Don't be a smartass, lad. I'll box your ears.
scatmaam: (your empty glass is but a tear filled ey)

I'm not much for fashion or aesthetics. I'd just as soon leave it to you. Or to Marie, perhaps.

[ HOOK. LINE. SINKER. ]

[ They're all doomed. ]

And if that settles well enough, you'll give me my ice magic tattoo?

Well it's not as if I'd mind having my bonded about, but I do like the idea of not having to impose on her.

[ oh yeah she's bonded now, just casually throws that in there. ]
scatmaam: (though heavy our hearts shall always be)

Shouldn't a Caster be able to ascertain this sort of thing?

[ Of course she'd turn something so simple into a test. ]
scatmaam: (i would wrap the world in clover)

[personal profile] scatmaam 2020-02-02 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
And if it was someone you know not at all? Someone I've become close to but not seen fit to mention to you, or gesture to at all?

[ Scathach HAD been seen about town cozied up to one or two others, of course. ]
scatmaam: (like every woman she gets her own way)

Or perhaps you need to re-frame how you come to the answer at all. Change your approach to the question.
scatmaam: (from the stars that filled our eyes)

[ A small chuckle. ] I like that answer, I suppose.

Though you were correct the first time, either way.
