"I mean for about 3 Bronze Notes it's pretty inexpensive." Argen says to the no nonsense twin "Unless you want me to bleed you dry with a far, FAAAAAAR, more expensive item of mine"
I want to do some character building and I cannot figure a better way then to have this antique shop owning, super dramatic, hex crafting mage build character then to have him talk to other characters or answer questions.
Calixto looks ready to argue, his eyebrow twitching in annoyance... though it's plain to see that he really doesn't have a foot to stand on. There's no denying that the twins aren't exactly high rollers based on looks alone.
Calixto: "F-fine..."
He places the three bronze notes on the counter, huffing all the while. Hecate finally calms himself down enough to simply enjoy the show with a wide grin.
Calixto: "Can we just get this over with then?"
LithiumRazor
"Sure Sure!" Argen says as he grabs the twins ribbons bound wrists and places them on the counter.
Now to less magically inclined folk Argen would be doing weird hand motions that didn't have much meaning other then 'mysticism'. However to people who are more in tune with the magic elements the hand motions had more meaning. And could see the machinations first hand.
Give or take how in tune they were
After forming a rectangle with his index and thumbs something opened. And the area was filled with symbols, glyphs and lines that either connect or float around astray. Argen looks around and pulls what seemed to be an empty Hexagon, before switching to an Octagon. He placed the Octagon over the finger trap and connected the line to the glyph surrounding the ribbon. Soon the "energy" was siphoned from the ribbon and to the finger trap. After the curse was transferred he added more symbols to the Octagons points.
Once it was all said and done Argen claps his hands together and "closes" the space via a twisting motion. Grabbing the finger trap he hands it over to them.
"Alright here you go. I made a slight altercation to the execution, the curse will only activate if two fingers from different people are in both ends! And lets go when the two parties find a comradery between the two" Argen says.
"uh...Well...Huh." Argen replies as he doesn't seem to know how a wonderswan is supposed to work. He knows it's a video game console but the only 'experience' he's had with video games was an old Game Boy and Tetris.
"Well I...uhh...Okay you take the cart and put it in here. and turn it on..."
The twins watch in silent wonder as Argen seals away the curse that had been foiling them like it was little more than child's play. It becomes very, very apparent to the both of them that they're nothing more than novices when it comes to the arcane arts after watching the other complete the task at hand so easily.
When all is said and done, Hecate reaches for the finger trap and snatches it up before his brother has the chance.
Hecate: "Well, sounds simple enough. Just make sure that the two of us never put this on at the same time and we should be golden."
At his side, his brother grumbles, but is relieved nonetheless as he folds his arms over his chest.
Hecate: "Any need for us to keep the ribbon?"
He looks at it as it lays limp on the counter top, the magic all but drained from its silken fabrics.
"To tie your hair?" Argen Replies bluntly "It's not something I can exactly sell in my store. It's gotta be fancy and something people would impulse buy, without curse it's just a ribbon devoid of it's intent to punish...I dunno...Whoever cheated on that Woman you mentioned? Anyway it's yours to do with as you please. I'm not hurting for clothing apparel" Argen says as he puts the Notes into the register.
Once again, Calixto scoffs while his brother only nods.
Hecate: "Noted, well we appreciate the help today. Let's hope we don't have to see each other under such... circumstances again."
(Ooc, but would you mind if I drew something for Argen? I've fallen in love with his character)
"Maybe we will meet under more...Preferable Circumstances. Like you two coming by to buy something!" Argen replies as he watches them go.
"Or joining my cult." He says quietly. They may be novices but they are magically inclined. with proper tutelage he feels these two could contribute to "The Balance". Until then though he has one goal in mind
Hurry up and Convert Aurus so that he can get it rolling!!
(OOC: Go For it!)
Thanatos puts the cart in and turns on the device. He is confused at the magic moving pictures. "Like this? What is it doing?"
"Well...Um...It's running the game but...uhhh. I have no real idea what you're supposed to do...Is it an RPG? I dunno..."
"Role Playing Game. Uhhh you play the Role of Something or another and go on an Adventure. I think that's what's going on? I can't read japanese."
"An adventure? Gaea would love that kind of game... Is there a type of game where everything is relaxed and you have a cozy lifestyle?"
