Magical Creatures Roleplay

The blonde woman had been so focused on the hatching of the first creature that she hadn't had time to react to the dropped bottle until it hit onto the floor. Luckily, the crystal was thick enough so that the bottle didn't shatter. The stopper bounced out upon impact, leaking rosemary-scented perfume into the dirt. The blonde woman spun with a frown, swiped up the bottle, and firmly replaced the stopper. She shot Alex a reproachful look. "Careful," she insisted, sounding more disappointed then angry. After a moment of examination in which she held the bottle up to her eyes, she placed it back onto the table. There was still enough perfume for it to be of use.

A loud crashing noise from right in front of the table startled her. A boy had merely dropped his bicycle onto the sidewalk, the woman noted with a relieved smile. As long as the noise hadn't come from any of her equipment, everything was fine.

"Would you be interested in making a new friend?" she asked him, leaning against the table. It rocked forward under her weight.

"A new friend?" Dylan repeated with mild surprise as he bent to pick up his fallen bike. His gaze was fixed on the blonde woman as he spoke. "Sure, why not?" He responded shyly. He didn't have that many friends. In fact, most of his friends considered him to be their 'study partner'.

He fingered the helm of his white shirt nervously as the woman retreated her bottle. As the rosemary scent wafted up, Dylan scrunched up his nose in distaste and walked around the tent where the smell was less pungent.

Extremely curious of what she was giving away, Dylan's eyes scanned the bizarre assortment of products around. Confusion laced his eyes as he shuffled closer to take a better look.

Shaula stared at the little bird. She softly patted it on the head. She leaned forwards, so close that her nose was almost touching it's beak. The bird let out a loud squawk and quickly nipped Shaula's nose. She laughed and proceeded to put it on her shoulder. It squawked in surprise, but it didn't struggle.

Shaula smiled widely and tugged her curls. They bounced slightly. "How did you do that?" she asked the woman. "And what should I call you?"

Elly blinked as she heard a loud squawk, and, turning her attention away from the stones, glanced back over to the girl and lazy from before.
"A...bird?" Elly questioned, astonished. "Where did THAT come from!?"
She started over to where the others were standing, curious.

Alex sighed as the woman gave he the reproachful look, she got this look more often then not. She looked at all the stuff around her and realized that a lot of this stuff could be breakable, this wasn't a good place for a clumsy person like Alex. She walked over to the girl with the magical bird thing and said, "That's a pretty cool bird, I am Alex by the way." She extended a hand towards the girl.

@cat It's a songbird. It mostly chirps and twitters, not squawks. http://taylormarsh.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/0509p113-bird-m.jpg?781ba0

"That's wonderful!" the blonde woman replied cheerily, clapping her hands once in front of her chest. "You can go next! Oh, you can set the bike down against the tent post if you like." She motioned for Dylan to come around to the front of the table, so he would have a full view of each of the objects. "First I'll need you to pick one of these stones," she instructed, tapping on the edge of the wooden bowl that held them. With him momentarily taken care of, she turned back to Shaula.

"You can call it magic," she replied with a beaming smile. "And you can call me Laurel." This was spoken bashfully, in remembrance of how she'd almost inappropriately blurted it out earlier. "And the little bird you can call anything you like."

wolfmilk • 9 July 2012 at 2:47 AM

After his bike was steadied against the post, Dylan walked to the table and skimmed over the stones. He was torn between two particular stones for a moment, before settling with one of them.

"I choose this one," He decided as he brushed a slender finger onto a sapphire-coloured stone. Dylan directed his gaze up and looked expectantly at Laurel, unsure of what she was going to do.

Laurel plucked the stone from the bowl and turned it over in her fingers, examining it carefully. "That's an aquamarine," she told him with a flash of teeth and a wink, before she tossed the stone into the kettle. It bounced once into the wall of the kettle before rolling around the bottom noisily.

With a brief wave of her hand, she gestured toward the rack that held the plants. "Next you need to pick one of these," she instructed, waiting for him to glance through them. "They're all flowers, except for the kelp. Try and pick the one that calls out to you," she added, choking down a laugh. The statement seemed absurd even to her.

wolfmilk • 9 July 2012 at 11:53 PM

At her last comment, Dylan looked sceptically at Laurel with an expression that made it obvious that he thought she was slightly off the rocker. But after witnessing the hatching egg, he decided to give her the benefit of the doubt.

He sifted through the flowers and plucked up the most decent smelling plant he could find. It turned out to be a white lotus, which had no distinctive aroma. "Would this do?" He asked hesitantly as he lifted the delicate flower up.

"That'll do just fine," she replied shortly, gently taking the flower from Dylan. It was rather large compared to the other blossoms, with pristine white petals and a center colored like an egg yolk. Instead of tossing this one into the kettle like she did with the poppy flower, Laurel lowered it in with care, making sure it landed right side up. Then she turned to face Dylan once more and tapped the knobs at the tops of the perfume bottles with an extended index finger.

"You'll have to pick a perfume now," she instructed, folding her hands in front of her. "You can smell them all to see which one you like best, but do be careful. Oh, you can pick either one or two."

wolfmilk • 10 July 2012 at 12:38 AM

@silver_winged

Feeling rather silly, Dylan lowered his head to smell the perfume. Dylan took a deep breath and inhaled a wild clove scent. "I like clove," He decided after a few seconds.

hedwig68 • 10 July 2012 at 9:29 AM

Alex shrugged as the girl didn't answer and she turned away, making friends wasn't one of her strongest points. She watched the boy and the young woman work. She watched them with interest and she murmered to herself, "This is a place for making friends, literally." She cracked a smile and then continued to watch the two work.

@cqpkytty @taunter
Yep, you both may join. You can start by introducing your characters. c:

@hedwig68 @wolfmilk @taffy789

Laurel nodded and took the bottle from the table, squeezing two droplets of perfume into the kettle. They hit the bottom with a dull ping. "Clove sure is popular," she murmured to herself, replacing the stopper and putting the bottle back in its place.

"Okay, last thing's last!" she said brightly, tapping on the glass-faced case with her index finger. "Pick just one of these." The case held a wide array of small objects, including fangs, claws, fish scales, feathers, locks of coarse hair, tufts of soft fur, and shimmery insect scales. As she waited for Dylan to choose, she surveyed the other people lingering about the stand. The two girls from before had hung around, meaning they were probably still interested. "I'll be with you two in just a second! Could you figure out which one of you came first, please?"

Alex looked over at the other girl and said, "You can go first, I can wait a bit longer." She told her and then looked back at the kettle wondering what kind of creature would come out of it this time. She looked at the boy and wondered what he would pick out of the many things in the shop. Alex began to glance around to get an idea of what she coul choose when it was here turn. There were so many! Alex had a hard time making up her mind so it was hard to decide on what she liked. She shrugged to herself and thought, I will figure it out when it is time to.

buubles1688 • 11 July 2012 at 3:04 PM

@silver_winged is it too late to join?

cqpkytty • 11 July 2012 at 3:21 PM

@buubles1688
Nah, @taunter and I both just joined 😸

Alura walked out of the crowd and into the tent she had been watching for a while. She cleared her throat. "Um," she didn't know what to say to the shopkeeper. "May I...?" She bit her lip.

Nope, it's never too late to join.

silver_winged • 11 July 2012 at 3:36 PM

@cqpkytty

Laurel was startled by the sound of someone clearing their throat. She turned to face a girl with long black hair and green eyes who had seemingly approached out of nowhere. "Oh, hi there," she greeted with slight embarrassment. "We've got a wait right now, but you can hang around until then and I'll tell you when it's your turn."

taffy789 • 11 July 2012 at 3:43 PM

Elly blinked, looking at the other girl in suprise.
"Uhhh...Me? I guess I could go next..." She shifted her wait foot to foot, nervous.
Appearently, this "Laurel" lady was some sort of witch-or something-and that was rather a lot to take in.
Though, Elly was determined to not let that stop her for being adventurous.
"So...Pick a rock, right?" Elly questioned, looking at the small bowl of gemstones on the table.

cqpkytty • 11 July 2012 at 5:12 PM

"O...okay," Alura stuttered. She looked at the other customers in the tent and her eyes widened. She thought she recognized some of the people who were always mean and teased her. She could be wrong, but... She shrank a bit and hoped nobody else in the tent saw her.

Alex glanced at the new girl and nodded greeting, "Hello." She said and then turned her attention back to Laurel and the kettle. She was beginning to feel comfortable in the odd little shop and she looked around at all the stuff once again in awe. She went over to a shelf and began to look at all the stuff that there was. She saw some many amazing things that she had never seen before. All the feathers and fur seemed mysterious and the perfumes smelled strange but interesting.

Are Alex and/or Hazel some of the people who are mean to Alura? 😋

hedwig68 • 11 July 2012 at 8:26 PM

@cqpkytty

Alex doesn't even know who Alura is.

buubles1688 • 11 July 2012 at 9:17 PM

@cqpytty Hazel doesn't want to be mean to Alura....
