Alright, time to get this out in the open right quick:

There be two men wearin' a clerical collar here, and one obscenely loud tangle of hair and poor costuming.

If ye need religious information, ye ask a priest.

Not a five year old whingin' baby wearin' a loud tee-shirt.

Tis enough poor things to be said about organized religion without some flap mouthed, pea brained, megaphone with legs ruinin' it more.

Now with that aside-

I'm lookin' for employees for the shop. Enchanters, scribes, and a few odd cashiers lookin' to expand their magical know how. I'm more than willin' to accept apprentices, there's plenty of room for advancement.

Mind it'll be like goin' to school for several of ye, I'm gonna need dedication to sittin', readin' writin' and memorization.

If any of ye be interested, I'm the owner of the Cloak and Dagger in Everglade, Cassian Lynch.

I live in the shop, won't be hard to find me.

[ shemi admittedly doesn’t understand what he was talking about at first. she’s met priests before… albeit for a different cause altogether.

the job offering is honestly what attracted her. she’s seen plenty of magic and magical things! ]

Really? I don’t know much magic, but I-I can summon a demon. [ she had to wonder of that counted for something. ] but I would like to hear more about the position of an apprentice, if that’s okay!

Re: [ video ]

[feckinboomstick]

Can ye? I'm usually not in the business of puttin' 'em here on earth. Ye do other things, ma'am?

After a year here of trainin', rather than the five it usually takes, you'll be raised to a startin' wizard or witch. Where I'm from at least, official witchcraft be needin' official paper work, I've the right and ability to certify anyone in the trade.

You'll learn how to craft and cast basic spells, brew potions, enchant basic metals and stones, disenchant and remove curses, and at least one side occupation as a tie in.

Readin' tea leaves or scribin' books, for instance.

Oh! Nee isn’t a bad demon, he likes to garden and keeps me company sometimes.

But I can garden… and I’m good at patching up injuries! I don’t exactly have any medical know-how, but I know which herbs to look for.

[ shiemi listens with wide eyes and raised eyebrows. a witch? you actually had to be certified to become one? she never knew there was so much to it. ]

So you’re a wizard? [ if it’s possible,her eyes grow wider. ] That’s so cool! If I could learn how to be a good witch from you then…

I don’t think I’ve ever done any of those things. Sorry… I don’t want to be a burden of a apprentice.

[feckinboomstick]

'Course not.

Because I'll kill him if he pops back to the shop, and I'd hate to make myself a murderer.

[He didn't connect it to Ted, but would anyone expect him to? Of course he listened to Cassian fully intending to do as he said, he just wished he knew what was going on exactly.]

D-Did something bad happen?

Re: [Video]

[feckinboomstick]

Nae, lad. Just some people getting a poor introduction to a specific religion.

[Video]

[shy_mage]

O-Oh. Okay.

[That was a relief. At least nothing bad had happened.]

I-I think lots of people would like l... learning from you and Father Abel.

[liorafae]

Um...if you're a priest, then why do you talk like a pirate?

[The only dragon she knows who talks like that is Malus, the pirate. Dirty mouth and all.]

Re: [Video]

[feckinboomstick]

Because most of the good pirates were Irish, which is where I was born, and most of me family were uneducated serfs and woodsfolk so I sound like a great bloody hick.

Anythin' else?

[Video]

[liorafae]

I see...I've never heard of Irish. I apologize...

Um...you mentioned magical knowledge...I could use some more of that. I've been training...but I need to build my power...

[notquitedracula]

The only religions I know of that wear the collar are sects of Christianity - and most of those don't get on too well with sorcerers and witches. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're from one of the more... open-minded breed. That being said, I could use a place to work, and have some small skill with alchemy and magic. As long as you don't try to shove your god down my throat, I think yours sounds like one of the two best offers I've had thus far - and since yours doesn't involve protracted manhunts, it's just possible I won't get shot at or otherwise attacked on a regular basis.

[feckinboomstick]

Well first of all we ain't gonna get along well if ye start off your thoughts on me with 'I'll give ye the benefit of the doubt'.

Me mother was a witch. I could no more ignore magic than I could turn back the tide and tell the moon to bugger off.

Second of all, as long as ye don't argue with me for no bloody reason about the existence, non-existence, possible abandonment or neglect from God and talk to me like I'm a great stupid baby, we'll get along just fine.

I don't bring up religion lest I have to.

[notquitedracula]

[Soma shrugs at that. Okay, you've got a point there.] I think we can reasonably avoid religious discourse, unless it becomes an issue with the magic itself. My own beliefs and knowledge are complicated enough as it is without trying to get them through someone else's filters.

Though I might point out, one of my best friends back home is a practicing witch in paid service to the Vatican. Try to wrap your head around that.

[Color Alleyana enchanted. She's actually smiling -- faintly -- when the camera blips on.]

If you're talking about who I think you are... I'll drink to that.

[What can he say. He's a charming guy

He's been an obnoxious little barb in me gut since I got here, now he's makin' fun of my hair.

It's personal now, he's lucky he ain't dead.

[tsukihito]

Shut up and go to bed.

[It only takes one guess to figure out who would be brazen enough to come to Cassian's quaint little shop like this. The white-eared kitsune glares at the priest as he walks past holding what seems to be three freshly killed chickens within his hands. Don't worry about the blood and leaves he tracked into the shop. He'll get to that whenever.]

You should be asleep, not gossiping away on your phone.

[He huffs arrogantly and purposely swats Cassian with his tail as he walks by.]

Now, where is your stove. I have hens to cook.

Re: action

[feckinboomstick]

You're makin' a mess and you'll be cleanin' it up, beastie.

[UGH. But he follows after the fox, because no he's not going to bed, he's a grownass adult, thanks]

Tisn't even time for bed yet, the sun's barely down-

Why are ye draggin' these dead birds into my house-

Why are ye naggin' me like you're me wife.

[tsukihito]

[The fox literally mocks Cassian about that cleaning bit.]

How interesting that you're more worried about your ugly little shop rather than your health.

[He says with a huff once he finds the stove. Yukimura places the dead hens in an empty pot before scurrying off to fetch some water and a knife. He needs to get the feathers off these fowls here and now before cooking them. So he'll be making quite a mess in here, Cassian.]

You look haggard as usual. Therefore, you should sleep early. [Yuki admonishes before turning around to pin a glare on the fussy priest.] Go sit down. Now.

Sounds like y' met Ted.

So're y' a bigger ass'n he is, less a one, or 'bout the same?

Re: video;

[feckinboomstick]

It depends on who ye be talkin' to.

An ass is a matter of opinion.

[Same level different species]

[om_nom_namur]

Well right now, sounds like I'm talkin' t' you, Squints. Or's that yer way a sayin' yer guilty as charged? Sheheheheh!

Anyway if yer a priest or somethin' can't y' jus' tell 'im t' knock his dumb shit off? Maybe he'll listen t' y' if yer workin' for the same god or whatever.

[nolifecount]

[Late in the evening, Cassian's door open and at the doorway, Alucard appears.]

Hey~! Hello there! Is this the liqour store?

[But then he noticed the priest behind the desk.]

Oh, nevermind. It's down the block, isn't? Oh shoot. Wrong block and street.

Though...hey, I didn't know this is your store~.

Re: [Action]

[feckinboomstick]

No, it ain't.

Now bugger off.
