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.]

Comments

[spellspeak]

Thank YOU, Yuuki-kun. At this moment I have six preMADE, but with the ingredients I have on hand it would not be too difficult to create something more personalized on the SPOT.

[amodelidol]

What kind of teas are they? Or does someone have to drink them to see what happens?

[Natsume can be quite creative with his teas, he wouldn't mind trying one, since he'll be able to pick one.]

That's a cool option! Is that a special request? Wait, these teas don't make people do anything weird do they?

[spellspeak]

I wouldn't be a very responsible business owner if I didn't disclose the effects of my products to my customERS. Can you imagine the uproar and possible litigatTIONS?

[And he doesn't have any interest in getting arrested or getting a bad reputation.]

That said their purposes are varIED, from aiding in regaining energy to even enhancing one's prowess while moonlacING.

[amodelidol]

[Natsume did bring up a good point. He wouldn't want to get known as a bad shopkeeper or getting arrested. He wouldn't want that to happen to Natsume. While there's a lot to worry about when it comes to owning a shop, it's still cool that he has his shop up and running now.]

Those teas sound like they can be really helpful. Do you tell fortunes all the time or does someone have to make an appointment? What kind of fortunes do you tell?

[spellspeak]

They would be on appointment so I could ensure that they were uninterrupted and the store was momentarily CLOSED.

[Since it's just him running the show and all.]

As for the kind of fortunes you should know that I'm quite flexIBLE, Yuuki-kun. I can take a glimpse into whatever aspect of the future one desIRES, including relationSHIPS. I also offer couples' sessions if you'd like insight into more intimate matTERS~

[amodelidol]

[Well, if he ever needed any help Makoto could take some orders and stack things on the shelves he can reach.]

A couple session!? I don't think I'll be getting that one anytime soon! I'll let you know when I do. [Makoto couldn't imagine get one yet. Sure, he has friends, but doing a couple fortune!? He had to stop thinking about it before he got too flustered then he'd get teased even more!]

I wouldn't mind getting my fortune told though! What are the other services you offer? Everything sounds really good.

[spellspeak]

Oh? You haven't found yourself drawn to anyone after moonlacing with THEM? What a SHAME. But perhaps you've fallen back into that habit of holding yourself back and refusing to show your CHARMS?

[Too late, Natsume would find a way to tease him regardless.]

Well aside from fortunes I do also offer customization in the other products I carRY. I'm aware that some may be more specific and discerning about what magic they would like to see carried OUT, so it's only natural that I don't constrain the imaginations of my clientELLE.

[amodelidol]

How do you even ask something like that!?

[Him? Charming? Only Natsume would be able to say something that and make him flustered. He couldn't imagine asking someone to help him out during the Cordis moon when all he wanted to do was eat and be petted all day. He wouldn't mind if other things happened, but that was a thought he wasn't ready to finish yet. How does Natsume always find a way to tease him!?]

Customization of products is a really good feature. I'll go visit your shop so I can pick something out! When would be a good time to visit?

[spellspeak]

It's a simple matter of using my voice to form the WORDS~

[Now he's just shamelessly messing with him. And really he doesn't have much room to talk, considering that during his own moon cycle he's not exactly the most straightforward with what he wants. Even living with Subaru he mostly locks himself in his room during the Iris moon unless the other drags him out by some means.

But Makoto doesn't know that, so at least for now he has the upper hand.]

Whenever you LIKE. If I happen to be doing a private reading for a client I'll have a sign UP, but as of yet I haven't been too overly busy with THOSE.
