The stronger with the cloth mask is pounding some black-purple substance on a large cyclopean pestle with a big, elongated hammer covered in eldritch runes. After every strike, he dips one of his gloves in water and folds the mass over with it, then repeats the process. After a bit, he turns and waves back to the newcomer.
The Giff walks over "Ello brother!" He said, having some sort of accent best described as Jamaican "You are?"
He leans against his hammer as if it were a cane. He offers his other hand to shake. "Never. I mean, my name is Never. I was almost Doctor Never, but things didn't work out. How about you?"
He takes it and suddenly produces a bottle of soemthing, it's a brown glass bottle with no label. "Here ya are boyo!" He said, grinning happily "and I am well!"
Felix makes a pleasant murmur and hugs Mauric back. "I'm sorry. I should have held my tongue."
“AND NOT TELL ME?!!” He yells, pulling his face out of the depths of Felix’s shoulder. “If you’d done that, I’d have tracked down a spell scroll of reincarnation and brought you back, JUST TO KILL YOU MYSELF!”
"No... I shouldn't have yelled at the shinigami..." he whispers. There are tears in his eyes.
She nods along with their words, though she doesn’t understand too much of it, not being her field of understanding “Hmm, I ain’t gonna tell ya I understood all that, but I’m sure that you do.” She says with a smile.
He doesn’t lean back farther, looking back at it, not with hostility, though that’s his first instinct, but instead simply with a passiveness.
As soon as they round the corner into the alley Thane picks them up with one hand “I ain’t some kid, I know yer my boss an’ all, but ya don’t need ta watch my every move.”
“Basically, it merges the study of the brain with the study of how spells and magic move and interact with the ambient forces in the radiosphere. I’m not doing a good job of simplifying this, am I?”
“Hhhhhelllppp…” It croaks, its guttural voice barely audible.
“Whoa!” Rio is easy to lift but also offers no fight. “I’m just trying to make sure you stay safe, man. I know I gave you a tall order and I realized that it wouldn’t do well to send you out there without any protection. You’re exposing yourself to the world and you have quite a few enemies.”
“Ah don’t worry ‘bout it sweetheart, I ain’t helpin’ ya build it, but I know somebody who would take some real deep interest in this. Real handsome too.” She says, winking at them and cackling “Really though, he’d be happy ta help.”
He stands up, putting his helmet back on “Help with what? Where?” He says, having had nothing to do for days.
“I know I got enemies, but don’t worry ‘bout me. I’ll do self indulging an’ all that without gettin’ myself hurt. I’m strong, real strong I’d say.” He puts them back down on the ground, sighing and adjusting his bowler hat.
*I DONT KNOW! I JUST WANT TO RP! If that’s okay with you of course.*
*alright, alright!*
Mother Misery is on a bench inside her hospital church, polishing her golden mask. This means anyone can see her skeletal, weeping face, so she’s turned away from everyone.
Vanilla is in the tavern, a bored expression on their face. Each moment, they summon some treat or candy in front of them, and seem unsatisfied, getting rid of it and summoning another. He looks tired. Or well, more tired than usual.
Darius sits next to them, he has a hole in his chest, perfectly clean and definitely not there last time they talked. He doesn’t look at her, knowing she wouldn’t like it if he did.
Tim is sitting at the fire, sipping cocoa and trying not to be sad, looking at the fire with distant eyes. The magic usually coming off of him is even more than usual, the air around him warbling from the power.
Algernon Never, wrapped up tight in college clothes, a mask, gloves, and a cloak, is extracting blood from a dead beast out in the woods and examining it.
She nods along with their words, though she doesn’t understand too much of it, not being her field of understanding “Hmm, I ain’t gonna tell ya I understood all that, but I’m sure that you do.” She says with a smile.

“Who’s he?”
It only emits a blank hissing sound.
“Okay. Just… I worry about you, y’know?”

Mother Misery notices him, puts back on her mask, and looks to Darius. It takes a moment for her to realize he has a hole in his chest. “I- are you dying right now-I-I you should be dying right now-… how… how did this one happen?”
Vanilla looks to Tim, twirling a candy cane in his hands. “What’s wrong?”
He leans against his hammer as if it were a cane. He offers his other hand to shake. "Never. I mean, my name is Never. I was almost Doctor Never, but things didn't work out. How about you?"
He takes it and suddenly produces a bottle of soemthing, it's a brown glass bottle with no label. "Here ya are boyo!" He said, grinning happily "and I am well!"
He looks at the bottle, drumming his fingers against it. "Is this safe for drinking?"
Algernon Never, wrapped up tight in school clothes, a mask, gloves, and a cloak, is extracting blood from a dead beast out in the woods and examining it.
*gasp-i know that character!*
Vanilla suddenly appears, sitting high up on a nearby tree with a little, ‘poof,’ sound. He has some hot chocolate, and he watches Algernon with intrigue. He makes no attempt to be quiet.
She nods along with their words, though she doesn’t understand too much of it, not being her field of understanding “Hmm, I ain’t gonna tell ya I understood all that, but I’m sure that you do.” She says with a smile.

“Names Arthur, I could set ya up with ‘em if ya want ta get ‘some work done’.” She says, happy to help.
He sighs “Can you show me how I can help at least?”
He smiles, nodding “Thank ya Riotan. It means a lot. How ‘bout ya help me, I ain’t exactly good at this whole self indulging thing.”

Vanilla looks to Tim, twirling a candy cane in his hands. “What’s wrong?”
He looks down to the hole, raising an eyebrow “I probably am dying.” He turns to them, smiling softly “How are you doing? Well I hope.” He says, the wound slowly leaking blood.
They turn down their head, looking deeply sad “M-my friend, he’s hurt, and I can’t help him, no matter what I try.”
Felix makes a pleasant murmur and hugs Mauric back. "I'm sorry. I should have held my tongue."

"Gah!" He drops the vial, but manages to catch it despite looking too hefty to make any quick movements. "W-where did you come from?" He stares for a second with his big, purple eyes. "Want some magic mochi?"

Thane is taking care of his child, he has nothing else to do at the moment, so this is the happy life he gets to live. He sits on the steps to the Inn, cradling the child in his arms.
