video | Tomes and Thaumaturgy

[robin had been meaning to discuss her new store with everyone, but.... things had been chaotic since she had opened it. one thing lead to another, and pretty soon it had slipped her mind to even broadcast it. however, now that things were settled, she was prepared to speak about it.]

Hello, everyone. I would like to discuss a store that Levy and I have been working on. The two of us have opened up a store that sells all kinds of different books, but mostly they're the ones from my world of Ylisse. I take tomes from there, magical books used by certain mages and sorcerers alike, and then sell them. If you are able to use tomes, then please take a look at them.

If that is not what you are looking for, then I suggest our selection of other books. There is a wide range, from fiction to 'how to' novels. As a Tactician I have sought after some of the best novels for whatever your needs are.

...Ah, also, while I am not there I have my Digimon, Dracomon, in the store. He mostly helps with putting away books and handles customers. He is an extremely friendly dragon, so do not be alarmed by him. Thank you everyone! If this store works out, then I will definitely be expanding.

action, fayren/genessia

[robin had been attempting to bring over a new supply of tomes and other books.... when things just had to go wrong.]

H-hold...! [she had just tried to bring over a new shipment (one that was particularly generous because she had been able to strike such a good deal with a merchant) and she had loaded up a pegasus she had been borrowing. her plans had been to bring over the books, unload them, and then take the pegasus back. what she hadn't expected was that the animal would suddenly begin to buck and stir once they arrived in fayren.]

Hold still...!

[by the gods... she wasn't a pegasus knight, she had knowledge of how to handle animals like this but she still wasn't accustomed through years of training. eventually the creature had knocked her off, and it then took off and soared away.

....ah.... her shipment....]

....Dastard...! [so, feel free to catch her freshly off of her pegasus, or see her as she runs trying to catch up to it, or perhaps the pegasus has landed somewhere now and she's creeping up on it. she may have also gotten it back at one point, only to buck her off again once arriving in genessia. either way, she's determined to catch it and get her shipment back.]

[Here's a young girl and a potential customer with an interest in magic.]

"I can use tomes, and I am interested in this store and its collection of tomes. I will certainly be paying a visit when I am able."

video;

[thorons]

Excellent. We will be happy to have you.

Action

[monkeystowaway]

[Sun came in on the tail end of the incident, watching as her pegasus flew away from her. There wasn't..really much he could do to stop it. He's holding a half eaten banana as he stands there.]

Is it going to come back?

Action

[thorons]

[robin dusts off her coat as sun approaches. once he is close enough she turns to look at him.]

Sun.... [right, back to the pegasus.] It.... probably won't. I'll have to catch it. [she sighs.]

[video]

[maidaein]

Ah, Tomes and Thaumaturgy, is it? An interesting name.

[ Robin already sent her instructions on where it was, but her broadcast reminded her of when she was so as far as she's concerned, now's a good time to drop by, if the store's open. But there are some new interesting details there... ]

Dracomon?

[video]

[thorons]

Yes, and I would very much like it if you paid a visit. I'm sure you can find something interesting!

[it is most definitely open!] Yes, I had adopted a Digimon a while back, and he has been with me ever since. He is quite kind- ah and he can talk.

[Action] The second time in Genessia

[justicereigns]

[You know what's cool? Flying motorcycles.]

[Not that Smoker has one yet but...]

[He's working on them.]

[As his job.]

[So when he sees a falling girl--]

[He doesn't even think twice, just reacts reflexively, using his plume plume devil fruit to catch her in a fluffy grey cloud, before gently bringing her down to ground in a careful landing and arms going back to human.]

[If he'd thought ahead or known better, he would have tried to lasso the pegasus, but that's totally new to him.]

You all right, Miss?

[Looks around on the ground for falling bike/car/vehicle.]

[Action]

[thorons]

[she was expecting to fall on the ground, and to fall hard, but what she hadn't expected was to suddenly be caught by... smoke? a cloud? it was just so odd that robin could hardly react.

once she was set down on the ground she just looked around, only to see the other man.]

Ah.... thank you very much. How did you-... [WAIT, NO TIME FOR THAT!] Hold on, did you see a pegasus fly by?!

action

[filchedfruit]

[ Joruk is on his way home from his job teaching people to ride horses, when a weird winged horse lands in front of him.]

Whoa!

[ It's nosing at him, demanding pets and/or treats. Joruk pets it.]

Hey, buddy. What're you doing here?

action

[thorons]

[robin is just sneaking up on the beast, and she sees that it has stopped. once she approaches she makes eye contact with the man, and she raises a finger to her lips, telling him to be quiet.

she plans on getting on its back again.]

action

[ironforged]

[when she finds her pegasus again, Joseph has found it first, petting its nose and looking at it in wonder. He's never seen one before and what a beautiful creature he is! He croons at the horse and feeds it a lump of sugar which it takes happily]

Who did you fly from, pretty one?

action

[thorons]

[in the distance he will hear-

Keep that pegasus right theeeere-! before she eventually runs up to him. once she is close enough she places her hands on her knees, breathing heavily.]

That... [wheeze] ...pegasus... i-is... mine...

[Video]

[shy_mage]

D-Do you have any horror novels?

[Video]

[thorons]

Horror? But of course! I suppose I could find some more, but right now we have a small selection of horror.

Action

[grizzly_tea]

[Maribelle was practically raised on horseback, so it was no exaggeration to say she was one of the finest riders in the shepherds, second only to Sumia or Sully. So when she spotted the ornery pegasus roaming down a city street, she gleefully claimed it. She pet it, gave it her apple she'd been saving for a snack, and took it for a joy ride through Genessia.

It was a short time later when she spotted Robin skulking around corners, looking for something. On ghostly quiet wings, Maribelle sailed her new steed alongside Robin without saying anything. She didn't want to ruin Robin's scheme if she was trying to be stealthy, so she did her best to keep her mount hushed and tried to whisper to Robin.]

It's just me darling, what are you looking for?

[Little did Maribelle know she was sitting on what Robin was looking for, saddlebags still brimming with books. The pegasus let out a little whinny, but with the way the alley's walls were built, the sound echoed making it sound like it was from further away. Would Robin continue her search, or look left at Maribelle and see a familiar equine face? Then again, maybe the wings weren't too obvious at this angle?]

Action

[thorons]

[at the sound of maribelle's voice, robin didn't turn around. she was trusting of her companion at her back, and besides she was much too focused on trying to find that blasted pegasus.]

I am trying to find.... [she heard the sound of the whinny, and her head turned to where she thought it was coming from.] ....that pegasus! Come, Maribelle!

[and off goes robin....]

action;

[namemeansbeauty]

Do... you need help?

[Belle had been on her way to Levy's store when she had come across the incident. Figuring it was the best idea to try and help out. She was sure she read a book on these types of animals somewhere...]

If you do, let me help.

action;

[thorons]

Ugh... [robin was just in the midst of standing, and now dusting off her coat.]

Gods.... thank you for the offer, Belle, I would like some help finding that pegasus again.

video;

[strawberrypenguin]

Even though they aren't the kind of books I would normally read, would it be okay to still come and look at your store anyway?

video;

[thorons]

Of course! I'm sure you could find something that would pique your interest as well.

action;

[bloodheels]

[Lenalee paused for a moment. What on earth was trying to fly away. She watched closely before she spotted the person trying to get them back. Activating her innocence, she went to jump up fast enough, to grab the reins and somewhat spooky the pegasus at the same time.]

Miss, were you trying to get your...horse back?

action;

[thorons]

...Whoa...

[was all robin could really say as she watched the other girl grab for the pegasus.]

Uhm.... yes. But ah, please don't spook him, or else he may not trust me anymore.

Action - I come late! With starbucks

[skilledwithwords]

Robin!

[Levy is always around to help Robin with the store though the tomes themselves were acquired by her alone. What she doesn't expect to see is a flying horse flying off with their stock.

She wishes she'd come earlier but she'd been held up due to number games.]

We have to catch it.

[Levy can probably cast air beneath Robin's feet and get her into the sky and after the pegasus but she doesn't want to launch her friend to high and with only a depressing way to get down.]

Action

[thorons]

Ah... my apologies, Levy, the pegasus got away from me.

[if she casts it then robin can use her elwind to get back down to the ground safely, luckily she has that tome on her.]

Can you send me into the air with your magic? I have a plan. [already robin knows what to do.]

video;

[whiteas]

Is magic from tomes something you can learn?

video;

[thorons]

Hm.... possibly, but you would need to have a certain affinity for magic in the first place.

[or, she can get a second seal for weiss, but that's more of a last resort.]
