[ 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

A pleasure to hear from you two! I hope your business preparations fair well, so far. [Everett always needs give a proper greeting, before getting to the topic at hand.

He drums a finger on his lip thoughtfully, before going on]


Perhaps a niche interest, but I would appreciate a spell to conjure fresh rain or water. It would be most helpful in tending to my plants. Is that something that could be looked into?

Given my rather... new found aversion to fire, as a faun, any immunity would be greatly appreciated. If I could manifest water from scratch, that would also ease my mind as a protective ward and a utility for my tending garden. [always good to be prepared! He had never been terribly afraid of fire, no more than the usual person, but now it set him to fight or flight. Having a way to stop an unexpected burst of flame could be useful.

Especially when he tended so many plants, that's just kindling waiting to happen...]

Just as the magic of enchanted boar fades with time, I see. That makes fair sense, nothing can retain infinite energy without some manner of being replenished. [He's so curious how Witch magic works in general, let alone how it can be granted to Monsters in this way.]

Would having multiple of such tattoos mean only one can be utilized at a time? As in, an active immunity to fire could not be used at the same time as the water spell? [He knows he can't necessarily multi-task his plant growing magic. It took all his attention to use any one ability inherent to him. The tattoos only being a one at a time deal makes sense, but it doesn't hurt to know for certain]

Ah, that's certainly clever! My congratulations to you both.

If it's possible… I imagine some would like protection.

Water magic.

( immediate and interested. )

I don't know what kinds exactly would be feasible—I just want something that would be like what I lost.

What's feasible? I don't expect to be able to replace—everything, ( a little dubious, ) but...I could conjure water, I could use it to travel. ( it sounds like she probably means something other than 'by swimming'. ) I could manipulate it, more than the sputtering bullshit that's apparently passing for that now—

( When Your Monster Adaptation Is A Downgrade. )

I don't need to be able to fill someone's lungs with water, but being able to...it used to respond to me.

I should very much hope I wouldn't need twenty hours of continuous fire protection! Still, that is an impressive duration. [hm hm hm, what else is he curious over- ah, yes]

When a battery runs itself out of magic, what is the best way to renew it? Return to you and yours for a touch up? Or would Witch's Blood do, as with the enchanted boar?
wordsinthesoul: (out and about)

[personal profile] wordsinthesoul 2020-01-05 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, that's true. I suppose I was thinking of something like a shield.

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. ]

[ Oh, it's the shop name duo! She actually does recognize them from that other post, even though everything they're saying now totally distracts her from any of those thoughts.

Especially since being able to give monsters the ability to use some magic sounds real good, since the inequality issues still bother her. But.. ]


.. You're sure it's safe though, right? I mean, I'm not from a place where magic is normal, so you can imagine the words "enchant flesh" sound.. [ She pauses, trying to find some diplomatic way to say this. (She sucks at that though.) ] .. freaky.

[And here's one flowery dragon who is very interested in what they're offering.]

Oh, that's such a wonderful idea! [Especially since she misses her magic - ]

Let's see... I would certainly be interested in healing and protection spells. And maybe some form of immunity against ice too.

[Because going outside is a huge, tiring mission now and she hates it.]
integrous: (paid all our dues)

[personal profile] integrous 2020-01-05 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not--!

[ She starts, raising her voice already, but then suddenly shuts her mouth with a near comical speed. She can't say she's not scared and not be lying, even though it's more like being wary than being frightened.. but that's still a form of fear.

So she ends up looking more like a pouty child. ]


It's just.. a good thing to be cautious! [ Or so she'll tell herself. ] I guess trying it couldn't hurt though.. and if it really works, I'll at least give you guys some credit on doing something this good for the monster people here.

Barriers. Healing spells. I'd think both would be useful, especially without the need to say anything.
