Omori is in the woods, continuing her practice of the druidic magics.
KK is at the Faceless Fair, repairing a mannequin by stitching its arm back on.
Helianth is looking for the coach driver from the day Felix died, silent.
The driver is long gone. He left, terrified of any reproach. Felix has a statue set up on his grave, made by a strugel craftsman who came all the way from Honkachu to build it here. It depicts Felix as an almost divine figure, probably what is considered beautiful by strugel standards.
It approaches the statue, its previous feelings of anger dissipating for a while. It is silent for a while.
"...I will find a way to fix this." It mutters, pain in its voice. "To make things right. We'll see the stars... together..."

"The only one who gets off on violence here is you."
*got any other characters you want to use since the Saphuno one's finished?*
"No problem." Rio smiles kindly.
Those words seem to break him, and he sighs. His eyes, what used to be red with black symbols set in them, clear up, to normal, piercing blue ones. "I don't know why anymore... I didn't used to be like this. It's that goddamn book!" he yells out, throwing it away and tearing up. But, it returns shortly after, sat at his feet.
*sure.* Toothless is working in the tavern, though, it's hard for him as he's learning to speak Common.
"Bloody 'ell... that was good..." he says, leaning back after eating. He hasn't finished the sandwhich, though. "Thank you, so much..."
Mauric just stands there, blank, his anger neutralized but not gone.
Thirteen is at the bar, writing.
“No problem. Anything else I can do for you?”
"I'm not a bad person... I'm a god. The Autumn God... I accidentally picked up this book one day, and it's just been... making me want to kill people with it..." He says simply.
"Can I get... you something... drink?" He asks slowly, pausing here and there.
"Not right now... thank you." he says, hugging Rio again.
"Then... find a way to get rid of it...?"
"No thank you. I'm alright." Thirteen smiles kindly.
Rio grins and hugs him back.
"I don't know that I can... But, I will try. Worst case scenario, I find a way to suppress it instead of giving in to it. Maybe use it for a noble purpose?..." he asks, trying to convince himself more than anything.
"Something... eat?" he asks, still polite, and smiling wide.
"When I get a few days under my belt, maybe a couple of gold... I'll pay you back.... I promise." he says, just simply grateful for his help.
"But like... since you got it from somewhere, that'd probably mean it can be passed to someone else... right?"
"No, but thanks."
"Don't worry about that! I can help however you need, no repayment necessary."
"I picked it up from a random [GP] spot on the ground... Belonged to some shinigami who accidentally killed himself with it by killing somebody else... Details are fuzzy. In any case, I'll have to visit some of my connections, see how to pass it off. In the meantime, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea? I'm quite enjoying this moment of lucidity, and would like to share it with a new friend."
"You're... friend of boss, right?"
"No, I want to... Please?..."
"I'M NOT YOUR FRIEND! YOU STILL KILLED FELIX!!"
"Indeed. Saphuno is a good friend of mine."
"Alright then. But don't think I'm the one holding you to this debt, 'kay?"
"You're quite rude, aren't you?..." he says, very offended in his lucid state. "I didn't kill him, I used a fake Note. And, besides, I wasn't in my right mind."
"Boss is nice... pretty, too. You're detective, right?" he sits down
"I'm holding myself to it... It'll help me recover." he smiles, beaming. "I should... go to bed, I'll see you tomorrow, 'k?" He gets up, but stands there briefly, looking into Rio's face. Does he want something else?... He waves it off and dashes off... into the other corner booth of the tavern, trying to get to sleep.
"You still caused it! It's your fault, even if you didn't directly make him die!"
"No, I'm a writer and scientist."
Rio follows him. "Hey, you looked like you were gonna ask something back there. Did you need anything else?" Persuasion: 26
"I panicked him, sure, but he never came and saw me. I was gonna burn the page anyway! But, look. You're missing the point. That's not who I am, or who I want to be."
"Ohhhh... What do you write about?"
"I was..." he sighs, digging his heel into the ground and grabbing his right arm tightly. "I was gonna kiss you... But, I just... didnt think I should... You're too nice and... not a screw up to want me..."
Mauric doesn't answer, but still glowers at Omi.
"Physics, magic, and the environment, mostly."
"Well... yeah, you probably shouldn't. I have a boyfriend. But I'm very flattered that you'd consider it."

No news is good news…
I'll lay a white rose on the cold earth, knowing it that it has not claimed your soul.
"I see. They're good, and they last a while, so I think you'll make a profit." He bags up the 10 jars and takes the silver pieces. "Would you like help carrying these to your cart?"
The presence communicates a vibe. A faint sorrow, but primarily gratitude.
"Oh, it's not far." he says, holding out his hands, the handle of the cart appearing in them. "She comes with me everywhere." he says, smiling.
"But, you always bounce back, right, little man?.." she asks, sitting down next to the headstone, leaning on it. "I'm just am sorry I didn't get to see you before... y'know. You were one of my only friends, man."
He smiles a little wider. "Is she magic?" He carefully puts the bags in the cart.
A bit more sorrow, then a comforting vibe. She can feel his presence laying beside her.
He walks over to them, clutching their staff tightly as the fire spirit follows soon after “If you insist, I guess.” He looks at his feet, then shifting in the snow.
He puts his head to hers, holding their legs sides of her face “Don’t say that, rest, you will heal. I… you must live… for our family… for me…” He says, tears beginning to well up in his eyes.
Marie chuckles, as well as her cousin the Duchess “Of course not, as well as Jax comes back I will not worry much.” She says, though her eyes are filled with worry at the mention of Jax being gone.
"Unless you'd rather not. It's fine by me." he leads them to the courtyard outside his house. It's tucked away into a neat corner of the Autumn section of Aspen, the seasonal town.
"It's not like I want to go... I just don't know that I won't... Find somebody, if you can... I'll just... rest." She says, closing her eyes and nodding off.
"I've brought no harm to him, I assure you." She grumbles. "He came to visit me recently, looking just the most upset little pup ever..."
He looks to the building curiously, though happy to be somewhere warm “N-no, I… thank you.” He says, not wanting to ruin this gift or say something that’s just stupid.
He puts the covers over them to keep them warm, and begins looking for someone, anyone that could help with this in any aspect, moving through trees and along the ground as quickly as possible.
She sighs, slightly more relieved, but not much “Do you know where he might be? I just… I wouldn’t want to lose him, as you know.”
"Two copper pieces, friend. Thank you for supporting my lessons. These days, so many children don't understand themselves, each other, or the world around them. They're confused by the simplest things, and that confusion turns to hate, and that hate turns to violence. I believe that if we help them grow strong when they're young, they'll be kinder as adults."
He nods. “I’m glad to help. You’re right, this world is real violent. I’m glad that people like you are helpin’ change that!” He chuckles, counting the number of jars he’s taken, over thirty, and giving him the copper pieces, plus two extra silver.
Franz grins as he counts the coins. "An extra donation? You're very kind! I very much hope you enjoy your jelly. I make it myself, so I can make sure it's as perfect as possible." His blue eyes glitter like diamonds.
He grins. “Ooh, that’s awesome. I bet it’ll taste great.”
*Anybody want to rp while I’m here? You don’t have to pick, but you can if you want to.*
*Anyone else?*
*PLEASE?!*
*yo*
*Oh hey, wanna rp?*
*yeah*
*Who would you like?*
*Hunter and John*
*Of course lord clone Jobah.*
Henry is meditating in the forest, a moat of blood surrounding where he sits, the mist outstretching farther than it has before as he takes deep breaths.
John has been training with the creatures he was provided, and taking breaks in between, refining his skills with every swing he takes.
*I would like to. Who interests you at the moment on either side?*
*Nearly anyone really, though possibly one of my newer characters, idk though. My deepest apologies for not know who I want.*
*Bring me the Duchess.*
Franz is stumbling toward his caravan, moving with the sluggishness of a man who just ate a massive meal despite not having eaten a single thing today.

Franz is stumbling toward his caravan, moving with the sluggishness of a man who just ate a massive meal despite not having eaten a single thing today.
*Of course sir.*
The smell of blood fills the air nearby, before he can react the Duchess can be seen sitting on his caravan, drinking her blood wine in a beautiful glass, looking to them curiously.
Franz grins as he counts the coins. "An extra donation? You're very kind! I very much hope you enjoy your jelly. I make it myself, so I can make sure it's as perfect as possible." His blue eyes glitter like diamonds.
He grins. “Ooh, that’s awesome. I bet it’ll taste great.”
"If it doesn't, you are free to bring it back for a full refund. Never happened before, but some people have different palates than what I can account for." He's talking almost like a real person for a second. Then, just as suddenly, he's back to his lumbering, gentle voice. "My mother taught me how to make them. She was a great cook. Her jellies were my favorites, so I make those the most. Sometimes I make cakes or pies, but not every day. If you ever need one made for a special event, you can come and ask me."

A bit more sorrow, then a comforting vibe. She can feel his presence laying beside her.
"Made of Fey wood. Helps protect my wares." he says, patting the cart after they put the bags inside. It dissapears promptly.
"I wish I got to know you better... I knew you my whole life, it seemed... But, I dunno. Nothing I can do, is there?" She absent mindedly reaches out to touch the presence.
"Fey wood? That's very interesting. My mother came from the Feywild. I haven't seen her in a long time, though. I hope she's alright."
Her paw hits a soft, invisible belly. A cold hand holds her own.

He looks up at her. "Hello, neighbor," he utters through his tight-lipped smile. "Would you like to come in?"
