I Cast Mild Annoyance

"Once per game, choose to make a wish. If granted, it might have a price & leave a clue as to its nature."

[wizard--official]

OOC: Okay ive been pondering how to get wiz back into the game without seeming TOO out of place. Like they've been gone for long enough to need a lore reasonl and ive been thinking for weeks abt a solution and i finally came up with one but this is gonna seem super ARGesque in that I intend on it to be some like magical mystery thing that leaves "clues as to its nature" and wizard is just kind of gone. I don't wanna spoil it for observers but feel free to dm to ask whst it is for roleplay reasons or just curiosity. But just know this monkey's paw is fucking CURLING. anyways yeah gambler and wizard are actually gone in verse now not just ebcause im a lazy bum who didnt do anything all summer.

Sorry about my tardiness. I had to deal with more severe matters, and I didn’t want that pesky Innkeeper following me here. But I’m here now, and I have an idea. Strip the luck of the good team.

@cerenovus-official

(Wizard looks back at Cerenovus, before sighing and dispelling their Magician disguise magic.)

That's not a bad idea. I'd have to go see the barista, but I could make it work. I'm worried about the repercussions, though. What if something happens to one of us?

[cerenovus-official]

It should be fine. I’m already fucked up enough. Just look at me. I’m cosplaying as a scarecrow and I have to carry a vomit bag!

[wizard--official]

(Wizard makes a grimace, but seems to understand.)

I'll uhh... get on that then. If you'd like, I have some medicinal potions. I'm sure one of them could be of use to you.

[cerenovus-official]

Can it fix my brain?

[wizard--official]

I might be able to alleviate your symptoms, but I am no machinist. You have our friend the Clockmaker for that. Anyways, I better get going. The barista isn't gonna visit themself.

OOC: What about gay madness?

[mezepheles-official]

OOC: gay words I can certainly do

[wizard--official]

OOC: Magic is already pretty gay, but I can try.

(A light knock could be heard at the door. It seemed to be from someone in an unfamiliar outfit and with long, slightly synthetic looking white hair. They wear a black velvet cape with red lining, although the rest of their clothes are relatively nondescript. They have a small, top hat fascinator with a small rabbit charm on the tie of the ribbon. Their eyes were red, with an undertone of purple.)

- @wizard--official

(The Innkeeper rushed back to the inn, and quickly opened the door.)

COME… COME IN! I… my sinuses… might be a… little wild… today… but I gotta… take care… of this town! No matter… what…

[wizard--official]

Thank you. I was going to talk about a private matter with you, but now doesn't seem like the time. Here, how about I get you something for that.

(Wizard reaches into her pocket and grabs pne handkerchief, and another, and another, and another, and another, and a-

This lasts about a minute, before the last one in the string gets pulled out, and with a flourish of their hands the handkerchiefs become a handkerchief again. They then hold it out to Inkeeper.)

[innkeeper-official]

Oh… oh my.

(Innkeeper just slowly takes the handkerchief, a little shocked at what she just saw.)

Are you a… Magician..? What the… what the hell?

[wizard--official]

(Wizard "Magician" takes a bow, smiling.) At your service, madam. (Magician's face returns to a slightly more serious expression.) Though, if you'll have me, there's much to discuss. I have a lead or two on... some less savory members of the town.

(Any lack of response to roleplay in the next week is because of spotty wifi. I'm on a road trip and might have good or bad wifi depending on where I am)

[mezepheles-official]

Hello. It seems I have missed quite a bit in my.. impromptu absence these past few days. My apologies. I hear we have a new ally. How fortunate. Is there anything else I should know?

- @wizard--official

Yes. (Gestures to everything) absolute chaos has ensued!

[wizard--official]

(Looks around and whispers) My my, seems the town has distracted itself. High time I make my way in the fray... I will see you in a while, friend.

[bigbitchwhackademia]

why are they giving me an underling to train!!! im barely an apprentice myself!!!!!!!!

[cryfacingskyward]

If you saw this insanity during FanFes today… yes this was me… the tall hat wizard.

[devious-buffoon]

Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "the ten hells" or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard "power word:scrunch" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

[wizard--official]

....

something has gone terribly wrong....

is this the cost for my cantations?

...

what have i done....

(im bad at describing a scene but just imagine the wizard in their house fainting like a few hours after the spell okay? okay. yay great im so good at this roleplaying thing)

[mezepheles-official]

Wizard? Are you quite alright? I know us Minions don't a lot of people to look out for us, but I wasn't lying when I said your wish was my command.

Oh... they've fainted... I suppose I'll just get them some water and watch over them.

[wizard--official]

(Waking up)

This.. isn't the spire...

....

Where am I? Why can I not see anything?

Who are you? It feels as if I've had a premonition of you before.

[mezepheles-official]

That premonition is probably right. That wish took a toll on you it seems, but know that I am your ally, and we are on the same team. You wished for the loss of damning memories in one of the enemy, and I suppose you have caught yourself in the crossfire.

Have some water, that can never be amiss, and once you have drank it, tell me what you can remember.

[wizard--official]

(The wizard sips on their water, and puts it down after drinking it half way.)

If I recall correctly, I had left home but a week ago, days away from a town much smaller than I'd lived in before.

While I had intended to become wisened by my time away from my studies, it seems that fate has other plans for me now. Wherever I am, I'm sure I can find my way back there soon enough.

And what's this about a team? Is there a war I am not aware of? I try to keep myself up to date on the affairs of the wider world.

I hope I am not too caught up in something bigger than my... abilities can handle... that would be dreadful.

[mezepheles-official]

Last I checked, you, along with myself and a few others are in service of a Demon, The Lleech. As for where you are, welcome to Ravenswood Bluff

[wizard--official]

Ah... it seems I'm not so lost after all. Has another one of my cantations... backfired? They tend to do that. That would also explain why the world you describe seems to be so far ahead from the presemt in my mind's eye. Of course, that's only if what you say is true. I'll choose to believe your words for now, though. I hold no reason not to.

[mezepheles-official]

It means we're both spent, so that's fun...

I was hoping for a Pit Hag to come by and recycle me but I don't think that is going to happen at this point in time.

[wizard--official]

I see. Could I have a bit more knowledge of who else populates this town so I may not walk in so blind as to reveal my position? I may yet have a chance of gaining rapport with the people of this town.

[mezepheles-official]

Of course. I have written down a list of everyone's role that I know of here, and I think you'll find my handwriting to be impeccably legible.

[wizard--official]

(The wizard reads over the list, familiarizing themselves with the names.)

I see, a colorful cast this is. Once I am in any condition to go out, I will. But what to claim...

..."Snakecharmer" has a good ring to it, does it not?

[mezepheles-official]

Perhaps so, but a role that can turn evil is liable to garner suspicion. Perhaps you can pretend to be a Magician who has made me think you are on my side?

[wizard--official]

I see... a role much more suited to my capabilities. A wonderful idea, thank you.
