Work Opportunity (Closed - Nanachi)

Alright: enough was enough fooling around. As tempting as he felt it was to get sidetracked by all this bountiful and wonderful display of human knowledge he could learn from - the fact remained he, Schezo, the great Dark Mage, could not rely on the meager coin he had earnt through Primp forever while he stayed here. It wasn’t that high an amount, for one thing - and for another thing, if he intended on obtaining knowledge here for the sake of becoming powerful enough to finally tell Arle so she understood he desired only her: some of this knowledge could only be gathered by tomes.

Tomes required either battling powerful monsters or demons, like in the Dark World, or money. Also, he would need money to pay curious ‘human’ needs like ‘bills’ or food as well. Though, in all honesty - why humans asked people to pay just for staying at a place was bizarre. He’d never had to pay in coin in the Dark World, merely make sure the area was safe beforehand?

Still, his teleportation to Primp had taught him some things, enough to just shrug and accept it. It was a shame he’d never learnt a money-making spell as the Dark Mage, then he wouldn’t have to work - but that would make things too easy. Looking through the apparent places that were open - a place near where he lived caught his attention.

It wasn’t far from home, so it was convenient in location. Also, they apparently specialized in herbal knowledge! He could certainly do that, being a Dark Mage! How did you ask for jobs in the human realm, again? Well, he’d go up and ask directly! No harm in that!

Having found his way to the place, apparently called Remitty, he knocked on the door before entering with a dramatic flair of his cape, looking intently for the owner of the shop.

“Shopkeep of fate! I wish to discuss important matters with you: of how I wish to have all of myself used as see fit for this work! Where are you?”

Schezo’s wording is terrible, honestly. The sentiment of what it actually meant was there, though. Even if he was awful with double-meanings in his speech unintentionally.

Discovery (Closed - “Ollie” )

Further explorations of this new set of human places to get to know - so different and yet having so much similar to Primp, the human city he’d been teleported to after so long in the Dark World: had uncovered, in a part of the island near the ocean, a curious thing that Primp had never had. Something called a news-euam? What did that mean? He’d never heard of such a place in the Dark World, so he had no prior knowledge to go off from either Primp or his time as a child spent amongst monsters.

“Perhaps it holds more clues about the secret ‘glowing power’ this island spoke of in the tomes I read?!”

Spurred on by this possibility, he’d gone inside. There were...strange things, monuments of power he’d never seen before. They all made Schezo look around excitably from one to another in speedy, bewildered fashion - but the most surprising was an artifact of what seemed immense powers.

A strange wheel which turned seemingly by magic, with large white sails of magical garments attached to it...! Attempting to tug on the sleeve of an unknown lady who’d come as well, he fixated her with an excited look. “Look, look! It’s a Magical energy collector! Such things do not exist in my world - does it collect the strange ‘glowing energy’ talked of in these islands’s legends, too?!”

...It was only a windmill, but - Schezo had spent most his life away from humans. Even now, there were many human inventions he did not know, so he could not be blamed for such a mistake.

Cat-astrophy (Closed - Karamatsu)

Initial observations aside, now that he’d ‘people watched’ for a little while: one thing was clear. The parts of this world were apparently quite simple enough to pass from one to another - so exploration may not be as potentially lost-inducing thing as he first thought it might. Well! It was good to know that despite being unused to human civilization, this island made things a little easier in that respect! Ha ha!

Huzzah! So, with that comfort in mind: it seemed easiest to familiarize himself with the general foresty area he lived in now, first, correct? Then, once he grasped appropriate levels of knowledge, he could take the surging exploration further into this place.

However: any efforts to give a proper exploration were admittedly cut shorter than Schezo himself may have liked, at finding...a cafe with little kitties in it. Ah, no - he was a powerful dark mage, one who walked the darkness, he couldn’t afford to be distracted

Yet cute things were the one thing of ‘potential weakness’ he never could ignore or hide behind his mask as well. Especially cute animals, he loved them. It was...the one ‘weakness’ he allowed himself to show, in a way.

“Eee hee hee....so cute! I want to snuggle up close and hug them.”

He’s watching other people pat the kitties from an outside window. Yes, sadly, he did just verbally squee to himself while doing so. (He didn’t yet have any money other than the currency from Primp, so he would satisfy his love for cute things simply for now.)

Opposites (Closed- Slaine Troyard)

Being completely new and unfamiliar with anyone in this realm, Schezo felt that the most sensible thing to do, as the Dark Mage who walked alone with sword in hand - was to simply hang back and observe for now, until he got used to the new surrounds, then he’d find somewhere to work - he wasn’t the type to wander around like a lost child. That would simply bring back bad memories he had no plans on tangling with again at this point in time.

A nice thing about the area he’d picked to live was that it was out of the way more than the other places with humans in it seemed to be. Quiet. Easy to blend into the background of trees for one of dark garbs as himself and just quietly watch. Yet there was a human - for what reason this soul who he sensed had no apparent ‘powers’ had for coming to Ba'atuk, Schezo did not know yet, he could sense powers, not read minds!

For some reason, despite no power being sensed from him: Schezo was inquistive of this stranger. The stranger seemed to have no trouble speaking to other humans, from what he observed. Ah...truth be told, that was a ‘power’ Schezo found himself a little envious of, but it wasn’t a ‘power’ able to ask from another. Such was luck, hm?

(He didn’t realize the stranger probably could pick up on his long staring, though, and catch him out, of course...)
