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!]

[The front door clicks unlocked and slides open, and suddenly-]

Viiiieeee~!

[A silly Sylveon bursts into tye apartment, running up to the man. First jumping into Trunks's lap to boop him on the nose. It then leaps into Soma's lap to pat him on the head. It jumps off and runs off to Anastasia's room.

Speaking of, the young woman herself enters, dressed in a one piece swimsuit and blue jean shorts, tailed by her Glaceon and Ribombee.

She stops at the doorway when she saw Trunks.]

Eh? Trunks? Ah, um, what brings you here?

[light_of_willpower]

[Trunks blinks, but chuckles at the Sylveon's antics before turning slightly to greet Anastasia with a smile.]

I've been checking in on you, and sensed a new ki signature, so thought I'd come say hi to the new neighbor.

[innocent_royal]

Oh? Well, thank you for stopping by. Had I known you were coming, I'd given my Pokemon a bath sooner so I can prepare tea and snacks.

[At least she's safe from difficult questions?]

[light_of_willpower]

[More chuckles.]

Anya, you know you don't need to do tea and snacks for me right? I'm glad you'll still be my grocery buddy and neighbor though.

[innocent_royal]

Of course. Which reminds me, I do need to do some shopping this weekend. We can go then, if you'd like.

Though for now, I have some freshing up to do myself. Sylvie was a handful today...

[With that, Anastasia excuses herself to return to her room. Time for a nap!]
