[this is it-- Atroma's surprise vacation stay for you all! it's time to explore, speculate, relax, and totally behave yourselves. right?

how are you all dealing with the ever-so-educational volcano? have you played around with the visual toggle on those collars yet? aren't they cool? aren't these peasant clothes rad? if you haven't had a decent meal since Abeo, maybe you could afford some of that authentic farm-raised meat they have here. historical!

I bet you're all excited and completely thrilled to be here! who wouldn't be? ...so, make some discoveries, make some friends, and have fun!]

...Did you say fairy wings?

[hi, Chris. it's Krista. she was going to come say hi to him (holding what looks like a small basket of wolfsbane, snowbell, belladonna, and... eggs?), but now she looks... disapproving...]

[misconceived]

[ He looks at her for a moment, confused, before his expression changes to something comical because yeah he remembers Krista is fairykind. ]

They're collected. At least... the ones we get... they aren't just— [ Now he's kind of flailing a bit. ] Um. Okay. Let's start over. Where I come from, fairies can't even be seen by anyone not pure of heart, so you can't get their wings until they're dead anyway.

[ladiesss]

...

[continues to stare at him, dead-eyed.]

You know that doesn't sound much better, right?

[misconceived]

[ Chris just brings his hand to his face as if to hide the shame. SHAAAAME. ]

No, it... doesn't, does it. I swear I'm not going to go after anyone here for body parts or whatever, all right?

[ Because that would be demonic and like fuck he's going to even entertain the thought. ]

[ladiesss]

Okaaaay... [she still sounds skeptical, but his suffering makes her feel better. she ends up smirking. points at her eyes. points at his.] But I'm watching you, buster.

[misconceived]

[ Chris huffs, uncomfortable and yet not surprised. He gives her a tight smile with some actual humor in it even and lets his head tilt to the side. ]

Yeah, what's new. Is there anything else I can do besides keep sticking my foot in my mouth right now?

[ladiesss]

Yes.

[she's so pleased this is going her way, now.]

Have you seen anywhere that sells like, little mirrors and stuff? Or trinkets... I'd normally go to like, an antique store, but I don't know if this place is old enough to have a concept of antiques yet.

[misconceived]

[ Internal sigh. This is fair. This is his life. ]

Not off the top of my head. I wasn't really looking for that sort of stuff... Maybe closer to the center of things? Where there'd be more people?

[ladiesss]

Oh... Maybe, okay. I'll go look.

[she points!]

What's all your stuff for? Magical funtimes?

[misconceived]

[ He just stares at her for a moment. ]

Funtimes? [ Really. Really. After a moment he'll shake his head. ] Yeah, um, just stocking up. A lot of it is just basic supplies. This is the first place we've been that actually has an interest in this.

[ Or, you know, the stuff you use to try and call blood relatives, lost witches, etc., etc. ]

[ladiesss]

Yeah... I'm kinda up to the same thing. I figure I can get a few good bunks out of these things if I use my imagination.

[she holds up her basket a little, looking inside...]

Oh! I need feathers, too. Can't forget those...

[misconceived]

Bunks?

[ He raises his brow, not quite sure how literal she's being here but... it's magic. He really doesn't need to ask because ti's kind of self-explanatory in the "explain nothing" way. ]

Now those I've seen. They're not exactly on the way, but close.

[ladiesss]

You should take me to go get feathers.

[a pointed smile. come on, friend.]

And yeah, bunks. You know, for magic spells and stuff. [...wait, do mages need to use bunks to make magic happen?]

[misconceived]

[ YEP. He's... definitely going to go show her where the feathers are. He feels pretty bad about the wings-thing. ]

No? Guess it's different for me than it is for you.

[ yeah idk man he just says a rhyme, all this shit is for potions and junk ]

[ladiesss]

[HA HA YES this is exactly what she wanted. they can go look at feathers.]

Well, okay. Bunks are a way to not have to spend a bunch of energy on magic. They're like a ritual that you perform beforehand to channel stuff.
