[ While many would go out of their way to avoid picking up oddities while looking through the items people were trying to sell as they cleared out their clutter in what he could only describe as suspicious spring cleaning… A certain mage had always been rather drawn to picking up items of such a nature (often left behind by other mages who would not appreciate the ‘Scourge of Mage Society’s’ nosiness) and then analyzing and reverse engineering them himself… Maybe making some improvements.

Everyone needed a hobby, right? And at least this meant someone who knew what they were doing was picking stuff up before people who wouldn’t know did.

Of course, not everything always went to plan and sometimes the universe threw you little curveballs for its own amusement… And Waver was many things, amusing when ruffled being one of them. One of the townsfolk had slipped in a ‘bonus’ without his noticing, and while he absolutely could probably solve it… It wasn’t so simple when it presented a very distracting situation.

So… You know… Enjoy the sight of a man on his last nerve and the sound of multiple meows coming from the other end of the feed. Yes, that’s right, he’s got a cursed object that has attracted a bunch of stray cats to his workshop.
]

Afternoon, everyone. I seem to have picked up something a bit… complicated.

[ Gods, this is embarrassing… The man tries to keep a straight face, but there’s a stressed switch in his brows. ]

I’m sure there have been a few people who’ve already picked up oddities that the locals have been trying to get rid of, and while most of the ones I’ve come across have been fascinating finds…

[ No, seriously, his magic-solving brain has enjoyed the workout. ]

It seems something was slipped in that, while I can undo the enchantment, is proving to be more distracting than I can properly focus on.

[ Another meow, the sound of a beaker being pushed off the counter and breaking on the floor, is heard. Waver takes a deep breath. ]

If anyone is good with cats, I would gladly pay them to- stop scratching up my sofa! And you! Get down from there! [ He cleared his throat before trying again. ] I will pay someone to gather and remove these trouble makers before they destroy my workshop!

In Russian folklore we have a tale of a being known as Koschei the Deathless. [ Such a strong name requires a dramatic pause before she continues on. ]

One particular tale, Tsarevich Petr and the Wizard, goes as such: once upon a time the beloved wife of Tsar Bel-Belianin was abducted by the vile Koschei. This wizard was known as a terribly frightening foe as he had cast a spell upon himself that prevented himself from being killed. You see, he had the brilliant idea to separate his soul from his body and hide in nested objects. In this particular tale his soul was in an egg, in a duck, in a hare, nested in a hollowed log.

Seems like a needlessly complicated path to immortality if you ask me. One with some very obvious flaws. [ She thinks this story is stupid. ]

Well, the sons of Tsar Bel-Belianin went to rescue their beloved mother. Only one was able to trick him into tell him of this nested soul and he ventured out find the egg. Once in his possession he found the wizard and then smashed the egg in front of him, kill him instantly.

[ And thus ended his reign of terror. ]

There are many variations of the story, he's something of an archetypal villain where I'm from. Generic if you ask me. He's always on the search for an eternal bride.

[ But there it is, her story that she was forced to tell. ]

Strange...well, if I disappear you'll know what happened. [ She sighs. She better not though. ] Should we all play truth or dare next?

[ ooc: Not too long after posting this she'll be kidnapped and talking from there. ]

What; A Network Story and a Log for the event!
Where; All around Aterat!
When; Sometime in August
Warnings; None to start aside from the description of the beast, if anything happens I will add it!
Note; So I’m thinking the network could be a fun chat story time, the log for after-story experience if you want to run into him or handwave asking him to check a place out. We could mix it up and people could reach out to Waver about sightings or talk if they’re experiencing an encounter via the network, if you aren’t feeling the log! And if you'd rather just do your own thing with the beast, that's cool too. Also, if you want something personal written up, or to do something different, I’m open to anything!

[personal profile] ask_whydunit
Good afternoon, everyone.

[ The mage looks oddly pleased for once as he set his phone against something to record. The tired frown he was known for had lightened to something close to a smile as he grabs a pen to write while he speaks.]

I just wanted to share some news concerning the Academy. In my spare time, I’ve been going through the records room for anything that survived the incident. In doing so, I’ve come across the names of past supporters of the Academy and we’ve actually managed to locate some of the ones that are here now. Since then, we’ve put together and presented them with a proposal that they’ve since accepted and agreed to financially support the school as they did before.

[ Some scribbling is heard before the pen is traded out for another with a small hum, the first had been empty. ]

Anyway, this will mean a few things. First, those of us who’ve been working there will start receiving pay. Second, the academy will be able to hire for a wider variety of positions as well. Such as maintenance, cafeteria, administration, more teachers and other things. [ More scribbling. Another pen is traded out. Then another. Waver is starting to wonder if any of his pens have ink in them. ]… Finally, the academy is going to be undergoing a full restoration. Local businesses will likely be contracted to assist with both structural and cosmetic repairs.

[ Yes, despite the pen thing, he’s definitely smiling at this point. Seeing a school in disrepair has been bothering the professor for obvious reasons. Still, there is more to address, so he moves on even as he reaches for another pen. ]

Along with old lesson plans and financial records, I’ve also found that all official documents bore the signature of the headmaster from when the school was last operational. His name was ‘Percival Quincy.’ I would like to ask if anyone recognizes the name, or if they can get in touch if they run across anything relating to him? All I've heard about the headmaster before now would be that he was involved with the research of the cryst… So I think it would be beneficial to learn more about him and his work if we can.

[ Waver's brow twitches in slight annoyance as yet another pen hasn’t got ink in it. Pulling a fountain pen out of his coat pocket, he goes to continue and… Nothing. Unscrewing the pen, he gets a rather ridiculous befuddled look on his face. There’s not even a cartridge in the pen itself. ]

What in the…? [ He lets out an annoyed huff, tossing the pen to the desk among the others. ] It seems that I have to go and deal with someone's idea of a prank now. Thank you for your time.

[ Should someone actually want to find her, Mitsuru can be found in the The Fountain Square sitting at the gazebo writing in a small notebook. Occasionally, she takes a break to stand, walk around, and eventually even look at the strange falling leaves. A mistake as when she does memories come back. The memories that play out unbeknownst to her on the network are: ]

A Recording of Mitsuru in her room after having taken a shower. No warnings, just her being down on herself a bit and talking to herself in a towel.

First use of Potential Stops at the 4 minute mark. The first time Mitsuru used her Persona ability as a child. Includes creepy amoral scientists using a kid for her powers and some death/transformations.

Script of Mitsuru's shitty fiancé An altercation between Mitsuru, her fiancé, and Minato. Content warning: verbal abuse, talk of parental death, huge age gap relationship, and just a generally awful person.

[ It was an odd day.

One Lord El-Melloi II had never addressed the network properly before. In fact, he only tended to even respond to people on it if it seemed necessary or the subject sparked his interest. He wasn’t a social creature, after all. So it’s quite strange for there to be a series of broadcasts, all showcasing particular moments in his life that he certainly would not have been open to sharing. Although some might have been... a bit confusing, considering they seemed to focus on a young man named 'Waver Velvet.' If it weren't coming from his phone, some might not have made the connection.

Needless to say, once he realized what had happened? He was going to have the fun of explaining that… Either on the network, or (if anyone is bold enough to show up on his doorstep) in person should they find him hiding in his workshop in the harbor district.

[When the video initializes, those who've been around a while may well recognize the little green face on the screen. It's difficult to determine her expression, but her overly-cheerful voice when she speaks suggests she might be a bit...apprehensive.]

Good morning, everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the cooler weather! My, but it's been some time, hasn't it? I've heard one of you is looking to reopen the Academy! So industrious!

[It almost seems as though she's stalling.]

I've just returned from a journey and I would love to catch up with you all. I was...searching for something we've lost, but regrettably I did not find...it. I did not.

(OOC: The NPC will be responding as needed, but you're also welcome to thread among yourselves, even after you've gotten some information from her, and you will get information from her, if you ask the right questions :D)

[ The video feed initially just shows the entrance to the cemetery at dusk. There's some fluid movement as the camera moves past Grave Concoctions, the local alchemist, and then forward a few steps towards a small strip of somewhat rundown buildings. The camera stops in front of one of the buildings on the far left side and then just zooms up and down on it. There are lights on inside the building and it clearly looks like someone's been inside and cleaned it up. Overall it's small and the outside is in need of a bit of help.

Ivy turns the camera to face her. She's got a thick white scarf wrapped around her neck and a large silver cross can be seen dangling down. ]


I've fixed the inside into what I want for the most part. [ She's to the point, it's common for her when she's got a specific goal in mind. ]

But I need some help for a few other things. I need the outside fixed up, there's some loose brick, and it needs some paint. Inside I need six barstools in black. I don't care about the material, but they have to be black. There were booths in there already, but I want them painted red. [ She's very specific. ] The kitchen is basically just the woodfire oven but that's enough, I don't need much more fixed with that. I've gotten the décor down.

[ Wait she's forgetting something. ] It's going to be a pizzeria. [ Probably should explain that right? ] I also need help with a name. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

[ A pause ] I can pay anyone that's willing to help clean up the outside and do the few other things I mentioned. I might also need some help running the place. I don't need a resume, just proof you're competent.

[ And she just ends things there. Ivy has A+ asking people for help skills. ]
