01 ★ video

[spellspeak]

[When the video turns on Natsume appears to be outside on the street somewhere, standing in front of a darkened building. It's... A little creepy actually, not at all helped by the fact that he's wearing a dark robe.]

Good NIGHT~ ★ While I have made myself known to some of you there are just as many whom I am not acquainted WITH, so allow me to introduce mySELF.

[He curls his fingers in the air, something like green light seeming to glow around them just briefly before he places his hand to his chest dramatically.]

My name is Natsume Sakasaki, and I am a magician and fortune tellER. In my endeavor to enrich the lives of those here with the allure of enchantment and the occult I ask you to allow me to announce the opening of Chymica Esoterica!

[He grins and snaps his fingers. Instantly the building behind him lights up, revealing what appears to be a small shop. The windows are hung with tasteful string lights and somehow candles seem to be flickering inside, although it's hard to tell exactly through the curtains that are made of some shimmery and slighty-sheer fabric.]

In addition to offering my services as an advisor and fortune teller I also can provide you with brews of all SORTS, as well as items to grant your own special magic power for a short WHILE. If you happen to be of the more discerning and particular type I would even be open to making something special just for YOU.

I now welcome any quesTIONS, but until then let all enjoy the darkness and stars of the evening together until we meet aGAIN...

[Natsume winks and waves before snapping his fingers again and the video ends.]

[Watching the video he smirks as Natsume shows off his goods. He was impressed the other got the shop up and running so quickly...then again it might have been taking more time than he knows.]

Impressive, looks like you got it all together.

[spellspeak]

I have inDEED. Of course even though I was diligent in trying to cover my bases there could always be things I have misSED, but will have to wait to be SEEN. One can only gain experiences in life through trial and errOR, although I would certainly prefer this to not fall under the LATTER.

[strayknight]

Hmm, well you did seem happy about the results of your special tea. Still looks like a nice shop, I might need to come see it in person.

[spellspeak]

[... He just really had to bring that up huh.]

Well it performed beyond my expectaTIONS, so I can't say I have complAINTS. But I'm a little surprISED, I wouldn't have figured that you would have any need for my WARES.

[strayknight]

[He did after being a test subject.]

Never hurts to have something on hand...just in case right? Better safe than sorry~

[spellspeak]

I suppose that's FAIR, it rarely hurts to be over-prepaRED.

[strayknight]

Especially with some of the interesting stuff~?

[He's sure Leo would be curious about it too.]

[spellspeak]

Magic is meant to both entertain and enTICE, so I would certainly not dare stop you from embracing the allure of the ocCULT.

[But he really SHOULD.]

[strayknight]

Fufufu~ Aren't vampires already on that line bordering it~?

[He should and it will be wild.]

[spellspeak]

That's true enOUGH, but you embrace it in different WAYS. Unless your family a side I'm not aware OF, although I would have figured that mommy would have told ME.

[strayknight]

We do that's for sure. I wouldn't be much aware of it either if that's the case.

[spellspeak]

Well I suppose every family must have their seCRETS, and yours is certainly no exceptION. I've never asked Rei-niisan for more details on such a thing myself because I don't find it necessary to meddle like that without purPOSE.

[Because while he does love meddling he also draws something of a line when it comes to the other Oddballs.]

[strayknight]

Anija is really good at keeping things to himself.

[There might be a hint of annoyance in that statement...to say the least.]

It's an old family so who knows?

[spellspeak]

That mystery is simply a part of who he IS, so I don't fault him for IT.

[He chuckles then, sensing that annoyance.]

But matters of family asIDE, if you do happen to need anything you know where I might be FOUND.

[strayknight]

You are welcome to think that way.

[Ritsu was raised around it...he finds it far less amusing.]

Sure, I'll come by sometime.
