The Market Post

Who: Merchants and You
What: Open Market
When: M12 D14
Where: The Market
Notes & Warnings: Warnings will be in individual thread starters as players see fit. Here is the market OOC post.

The weather is starting to warm from the dead of winter, but it's still cool out. The morning in the market is foggy, too, so the warmer food is still getting a lot of attention. Soups and hot teas and cocoa (refined from the beans gathered in the planet's jungles).

After the recent efforts to clean up the town and the brief increased access to other universes, vendors there are a lot of vegetables brought in from that, too. This has been the first time in a long time there has been such a variety so take advantage of the displays. There are also people that have been trying out the potion samples here and there, doing things like attempting to set themselves on fire or inhale water. Luckily 99% of them are stopping when they're warned when their timer is running out.

There is the odd idiot that doesn't know how to hold his magic. Injuries won't be grave when they do happen, just incredibly stupid.

If anyone who helped investigate swamps wants to talk to travel agents about potential trips home, this is the chance to do it. Remember that you can also take visitors with you when the time comes around.

How soon can you be ready?
impossibilities: (Surprisingly)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-04-27 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
I can be ready as soon as an hour.

[After everything, she's a little surprised Emilia would spring for it that quickly. Grainne half expected she would think about it for a few days, but it didn't deter the answer.]

If that is what you wish. Otherwise, I can be ready at any time.
ewestmarch: (stare)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-04-28 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I want to go over it first. What you want to try, how it works.
impossibilities: (Surprisingly)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-04-28 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods, slightly relieved to hear that.]

OF course. I will need to know how he came to be this way as well, and what kind of magic was used. I will need to examine him. Do you have a work shop already set up?
ewestmarch: (stare)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-04-28 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I have my store, and the apartment above it. What would you need exactly?
impossibilities: (Thoughtful/Staring)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-04-29 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
A space to work in that is well closed off, preferably constructed of something solid like stone, warded, and well used for magic and best out of the way of any bystanders. I will need blood undoubtedly, but I can provide that myself.

[There were few things more potently magical than Servant's blood, but she wasn't able to provide an alternate as easily as a male Servant would. Besides, blood was more appropriate for life and death magic.]

The space being made of stone isn't quite as important as being closed off, however. And I will need him. The chances of anything I attempt being very dangerous are high.
ewestmarch: (hmmm)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-04-30 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
No doors or windows?

[She's thinking logistics, now. It would need to be portaled in and out, which is a lot of energy.]
impossibilities: (Surprisingly)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-04-30 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Windows, no. Doors are all right once they are closed. The room serves to keep prana from escaping. Glass is very bad for that.
ewestmarch: (hmmm)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-05-01 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Prana is magical energy, huh?
impossibilities: (Thoughtful/Staring)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-05-01 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what we call it. [She nods. Then, after a small pause, she shakes her head and asks,]

Are you sure you wish to try today? Are you ready for something... like this?
ewestmarch: (stare)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-05-02 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Not today. I don't have your room, and I need you to tell me more. But I want to start getting ready.
impossibilities: (Encouraging)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-05-02 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods, obviously relieved Emilia wanted to be cautious as well.]

Very well. I will draw up a list of items I will need that I can't get myself.

Before we part though, I would like you to know I... I understand. [A small hesitation, as if she's debating finishing her thought.]

Always wishing someone back, and being stuck with the heartache that they will not. But keep in mind, [she swallows, feeling a small lump,] there is no cure for the feeling of succeeding where it was once thought impossible and yet nothing being like what you hoped. I sincerely wish that all goes well for you and will do everything I can to help.
ewestmarch: (light)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-05-02 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
If I can't put him back right it's not worth trying.

[She glances around the market.]

Are you finished for the day? I want to ask you more.
impossibilities: (Surprisingly)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-05-03 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I've concluded my business for now.
ewestmarch: (stare)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-05-03 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
Good, walk with me then.

[Emilia whistles and the abomination scurries to heel. She sets a brisk pace off down the square.]

What spell would you be trying?
impossibilities: (Thoughtful/Staring)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-05-05 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
A basic revival spell. The most simple I can think of to start with. It will help if his soul and mind is there, it may be just a matter of reintegrating it with his body... he has life of a sort and seems to be aware on a basic level.

[Grainne spoke softly, almost as if she were speaking to herself, following Emilia almost automatically.]

If it works, it will seek to bring everything back into focus and fit together again. Such magic is very difficult though, even a simple one. I will lay out all of the steps before we start.
ewestmarch: (stare)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-05-05 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Revival. It's intended to bring the dead back to full life? Not like this?

[She pinches her own cheek with claw-fingers. Part of it flakes off.]
impossibilities: (Staring off)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-05-05 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Unable to help herself, Grainne winces slightly.]

Full life... yes. I do not know what exactly will happen with him being partially alive though. It may only bring back his mind, and make him as you are.

Though, I do know spells also that only restores partial life to a body... It is less that they are supposed to work that way and more that they do not function properly.

ewestmarch: (hmmm)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-05-06 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Why, what goes wrong?
impossibilities: (Thoughtful/Staring)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-05-08 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not know. I do not think it is anything that is specifically wrong, it could be the spell is incomplete or the power needed is beyond the mage casting it.
ewestmarch: (stare)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-05-09 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
You haven't tried?

[Emilia stops to stare.]

But you have tried the one you're proposing to use on my brother, right?
impossibilities: (Surprisingly)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-05-09 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I have. I have tried all of them that I know. [Grainne stops as well, sighing.] I just did not have time to go over why that one did not work. It just... failed, and it seems to me that it had been flawed to start with. The one I would try has worked and I have seen it so, and have made it so.

Do not mistake me, I know how important this is. Bringing back... him, is what lead me to become what I am in the first place. I would not offer lightly.
ewestmarch: (stare)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-05-09 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Who?

[She crosses her arms. Not going any further. Come on, you know you want to say it.]
impossibilities: (Expectant/Waiting/What)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2015-05-09 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[No she really really doesn't!

For a second, Grainne looks sad and worried, but tries to chase the emotions that threatened to overwhelm her away.]


Someone that I thought loved me. It was my fault he died.

[Bitterness colors her voice.]

And after all my work it turned out to be pointless, in the end.
ewestmarch: (hmmm)

[personal profile] ewestmarch 2015-05-12 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
You didn't try your spells on him?
