November Catch-All

[notquitedracula]

1: Cloak and Dagger: New Employee Orientation
[In the couple months since Soma inherited the magic shop, it's gone through a few changes. Biggest among them, perhaps, is the array of magic available, now including necromancy and other 'dark' arts. Admittedly most of the texts on offer are of a 'What NOT to Do' bent, but still. Acknowledging that those other branches exist is a huge step forward.

The other big change is the personnel. Entirely new to the business are Grima, Tina Goldstein, and Anastasia. All they need now is a scribe, and the shop will be at full operating capacity.

Of course, working in a magic shop is... not really something you just walk into and start doing. Hence this little meeting. Direct your questions and suggestions to the white-haired dhampir, folks.]

2: Out and About in the World
[Over the coming weeks Soma can be seen at random times out and about in Everglade, Nova City, and Fayren, doing random things in random places. Feel free to randomly bump into him!]

3: Moving Day
[At the first of the month, following his successful acquisition of the lease on Satsuki's old apartment, Soma carries his few belongings from the haunted apartment complex in Everglade to his new home in Heaven's Court Apartments. Feel free to meet him along the way - for someone who's moving from one place to another, he has a shockingly small amount of luggage.]

4: Holodeck'd
[With Marc gone, Soma continues his capoeira training on his own. With the assistance of Holodeck'd's simulations, he's steadily adding to his unarmed combat repetoire, and anyone who's studied the arts will notice he's learning at a shocking speed. Almost like he used to know some of this stuff, and is just brushing up...]

5: Castlevania Shenanigans
[With Lisa back, plus Alucard and Trevor showing up, things are likely to get very strange around the castle. Soma will be spending some time there, just hanging out with his adoptive family.]

6: Surprise me
[Just what the label says!]

Comments

[ This only raises more questions. He gets through to his father... yet still kills him. Silent, his gaze having fallen again, he looks up to Soma at the offer. ]

That would imply that I'm welcome there.

[notquitedracula]

[Of course he's welcome. His mother's there, after all.]

Regardless of anything else, Adrian, Lisa is there. Your father won't do anything to separate the two of you, under any circumstance. It's one of the few constants, where he is concerned.

[sonofdracula]

[ Silent, he looks away from Soma, a gentle sort of confliction within his gold eyes as he mulls over those words. ]

I wish I could be certain of that.

[notquitedracula]

Adrian... remember who I am. This is one thing I am absolutely certain of.

[sonofdracula]

[ He turns some from Soma then. ]

There are some things I need to know for myself.

[ Things that he's going to look into himself. ]

Thank you for your time, Soma.

[notquitedracula]

Any time you want to talk, you know where to find me. I just wish I could offer more in the way of help.

[sonofdracula]

[ Truthfully, he doesn't have much in the way of friends but Soma is... someone he can at least come to concerning certain matters. Or at least, he seems to be. ]

Some things we need to discover for ourselves.

[ Which is what he intends to do after their conversation. ]

Thank you... for telling me what you have.

[notquitedracula]

You're welcome. Take care, Adrian. And remember - no matter what your father may say or do... your mother will always hold you in her heart.
