[ The video opens with a perfectly still, immaculately framed sepia shot of a storefront. The glass of the windows is smudged with dirt and dust that’s far less noticeable at the center but which appears borderline opaque around the outside edges, and with a flecked paint job on the wood siding it’s clear that this particular store isn’t wearing its age well.

Nevertheless the signage above the store appears newly updated, stark and clean in sharp contrast to the rest. ]

This is an advertisement for Daemonologie. [ There’s a pause as if even he doesn’t know how to quite handle the appearance of the business he somehow has to make appealing, at least managing to hold in a sigh. ] I’m fixing it.

Check the attached text in accordance with this video. [ Which is how the clip itself abruptly ends, though not before Sasuke turns the camera to the left and then to the right to make the shop’s location in the southwestern Shopping District more apparent to any who might be on the lookout. ]

The following is a statement prepared by my employer:

Daemonologie is an all-ages magical menagerie and emporium servicing both witches and monsters. Are you tired of sourcing your mystical beasts from the Wildes? Are you feeling overwhelmed trying to find the right breeder for your ideal familiar? Do you need the feather of an enchanted sparrow for your latest potion but don’t feel like buying the whole bird?

Then Daemonologie is the place for you. We not only provide quality companionship in the form of magical creatures aplenty but we also offer a variety of animal byproducts for any of your witching needs. Quills? Not a problem. Unfertilized and fertilized eggs? We have them. Scales both decorative and deadly? You know the answer! Stop on by today!

(Note: Vampires welcome! Ask about our animal blood specials (guaranteed to be high in magic)! Also don’t miss our weekly sale items: enchanted brushes for even the thickest fur, pewter cauldrons, and a humidifying enchantment to offer comfort and relief from a dry molt.)

As a bonus we’re offering a special promotion. Comment here if you would like to take a short quiz that will pair you with the familiar best suited to your personality type. You will then receive a 5% discount on the animal that you receive as your result. What a deal!

For the first question: what is your ideal vacation spot?

A. The city
B. The beach
C. Somewhere woodsy
D. The mountains
E. The desert

Wow, ppl are really missing the point of this post.

C, definitely somewhere woodsy. I hope Eddie won't be too mad I'm cheating on him like this, but I am prepared to risk that for any and all hilarious quizzes.

[eyeforaneye]

Jonas, I'm confident in my ability to secure you a discount on other items as well. You don't actually need to go through with this.

Do you still want to proceed?

[coherer]

I sure do.

(LOL)

[eyeforaneye]

Very well.

If a friend is attempting to reach you because they think that you might be in danger, what do you do?

A. Hang up on them with no warning.
B. Try to sober up but keep in contact.
C. Inform them you need to go and message them later.
D. Wait in place for them to retrieve you.
E. Jump into the river.

[coherer]

(actually picked 'd' in his head, then realized he already chose.)

I said I was sorry!

[eyeforaneye]

Ah, of course. I forgot.

F. Jump into the river and hang up on them with no warning.

[coherer]

Well, look who's surprisingly ornery today!!!

What can I do to make it up to you?😫😫

[eyeforaneye]

Promise that you will never do that ever again.

[ This is... surprisingly serious. ]

[coherer]

(...)

I promise.

If I'm even remotely that high again, I'll make sure it's around you or Stiles.

[ ... a brief sense of relief comes through their Bond. ]

2/2

[eyeforaneye]

It's your birthday! What are you hoping for most?

A. Something to remind you of home.
B. Cash.
C. Something handmade and thoughtful.
D. A powerful rune or enchantment, duh!
E. A night out on the town with friends.

[coherer]

(jonas reads the followup text, but his mind lingers on the one before it. he isn't relieved, he's more or less ashamed he's worried him in the first place, but while it lingers it doesn't seem to in his reply.)

Seeing exclamation marks in your writing's super weird.

A, though.

What would you choose?

[eyeforaneye]

I'm forgiving you.

[ It's such an abrupt, contextless text but they both know what it means. He does nothing else to address what he's feeling. ]

I would choose E.

You just got incredible news! Who do you tell first?

A. My friends!
B. My better half. ;)
C. My parents, who else?
D. My greatest enemy, so I can rub it in their face.
E. My pet.

1/2

[coherer]

I know, but you don't have to if you don't want to. Like you don't have to forgive ppl so quickly for stuff.

That's a nice thought, though. When's yours? Mine's Dec 5th, we could go out then too? If everyone's still available, obv.

I'm choosing C for this one.

2/2

[coherer]

Wait, I'm gonna change it to A.

1/2

[eyeforaneye]

I normally don't.

My birthday isn't something that I particularly care about celebrating. I'll remember December 5th, however. It's a long time from now.

[ The switch in answers is easily explained, a painful reality he isn't sure if he should address. Lingering on it seems unnecessary but is pushing past it an inconsiderate oversight? ]

2/2

[eyeforaneye]

[ ... ]

Which do you believe Stiles said was your best quality?

A. Your physical prowess.
B. Your unshakeable bravery.
C. Your loyalty.
D. Your loving nature.
E. Your green thumb.

[coherer]

Well, I am happy you decided to let my dumbass errors slide.☺️ Not telling me your bday is my punishment, I assume, since it's not really fair when I gave you mine just now.

You might not care, but it means a lot to us American folk.

And what is this question???? Aren't they supposed to be from a pre-made list or smth???

(embarrassing and... sort of awkward. he and sasuke may be comfortably—most times—bonded, but it still feels odd to hear the support coming from him. should he think that? is it right to think that?

he promised him nothing would change.)

[eyeforaneye]

[ Ugh... the guilt... Sasuke stares at the text, fully aware that this is going to turn into Something if he answers. But how can he not, now? ]

July 23.

This question is one that I made up and which won't impact your results. I merely thought it would be something that you would like to see.

Should I move on to the next one?

[coherer]

(birthday get. even though he already had it, but now his hint to sasuke's out. jarring him with a surprise party would've been a no-no.)

Cool, thanks. And I'll answer, it's totally fine, I just wasn't expecting smth like that is all.

ig C...? Out of these choices I don't really know. It's def not A, B, or E.

[eyeforaneye]

I see.

[ A pause. ]

You're wrong, but your estimation of loyalty is being marked down.

Your annoying little brother gets ahold of your brand new shirt you've been saving up for and ruins it. What do you do?

A. Yell at him.
B. Sigh. It's just a shirt!
C. Save up to buy a new one.
D. Get your parents to punish him.
E. Blackmail him forever by saying you'll tell your parents what he did.

[coherer]

Is that a good thing, it being "marked down"? Are you gonna tell me what he actually picked?

(now is not the time to be vague, sasuke!!!!!)

But def E, bc if I had a little brother I'd bully him all the time LOL. Lovingly, ofc. That's a sibling's job.
