Tapas Adventuring RP 2020-2021!

[Legendofgenii]

Bellah and Genii followed after Tatakai, both walking on opposite sides of the half-oni.

“What picture do you think you’ll get?” Gen was taking pretty wide strides in order to keep up. “... and whereabouts?”

Bellah walked in silence for the time being.

((Going to sleep before I drop. Night Enigma!))

Rosa and the Owlbear take a bow, and the audience funnels out of the tent.

"I have an image in mind, but I want it to be a surprise." Tatakai says happily, getting directions from a guard and setting off for the tattoo parlor.

(G'night.)

The Dragoons got ready to leave the tent as well.

[Random_Guy]

(Enigma’s awake.)

(Ping me if you want to RP, but it's Valentine's Day so I don't expect anyone to be free. Personally I don't celebrate the holiday as my family never has and I'm aromantic, so I've got a full day of YouTube and Pokemon ahead of me.)

(All of my characters, with the exception of Tatakai, are free in the tavern somewhere.)

[Legendofgenii]

“... magic tattoo...” Gen followed after Tatakai. “... I wonder what makes them magic?”

“They grant the bearer magical abilities...” Bellah explained to Genii as they walked. At least that’s what she had overheard somewhere. She had yet to see one with her own eyes.

“Well, now I want one.” Gen started to grin.

((Genii is not having a tattoo. ))

[Random_Guy]

@Legendofgenii
"They're expensive." Tatakai warns, flinging the door open.

A male dwarf with a long white beard and a golden monocle is sitting behind the counter, he strokes his ink splatted beard as the trio enter.
"Ah! Welcome, welcome." He greets jovially, "Here for a tattoo?"
"Yep!" Tatakai nods, "A magic one!"
"You have the gold?" The dwarf asks.
Tatakai drops a bag of gold on the counter, there is far more than the fifteen gold Kaeru earned there.
"Perfect, go ahead and pick." The dwarf slides her a piece of parchment, letting her take her time looking over it as he turns to Bellah and Genii, "You two just along for the ride?"

[Legendofgenii]

“Yes.” Gen nodded to the dwarf with the monocle. He’d seen the big bag of gold Tatakai handed over, and he didn’t have a penny - so no tattoo today.

“How do these magical tattoos work?” Bellah got straight to the point.

[DualDragons]

"Let's look for some tracks first." Daemon says to Serenity and Cate.
"Or just any clues. Buffaloes are big so there's a good chance this one left behind tracks when it got away."

[Random_Guy]

“Ooh, this one.” Tatakai points, sliding the parchment back.
“Great choice, take a seat.” The dwarf nods, grabbing his equipment, “Well, it’s quite a simple process really. When the customer knows what they want, we grind up the appropriate gemstones, mix them with enchanted ink and set to work. Then, they can cast the spell as though they had learned magic. Most folks don’t choose this option cause it’s expensive, and gettin’ a tattoo hurts.” He explains to Bellah, setting to work on Tatakai’s tattoo.

@DualDragons
A buffalo can be heard grunting, far into the distance.

[Legendofgenii]

"Ha! You could have done that with this." Gen held his left hand up and waved his fingers at Bellah. The Aamami ignored him.

"What do you mean it hurts?" Gen asked, observing what the dwarf was doing.

[Random_Guy]

(I slept ten hours minimum. I feel as though I have killed god and then died.)

"Well, the ink is applied under the outer layer of skin." The dwarf shrugs.
"Oh, yeah, every time I go to get a tattoo there's someone there and in pain." Tatakai smiles, seemingly unbothered by the process.

[Legendofgenii]

"Oh..." Gen started to look a bit pale. He decided to have a wander around the shop.

"What spells do these marks grant?" Bellah asked, not phased by watching the dwarf's artistry.

[Random_Guy]

The shop is, for the most part, a normal tattoo shop. There's a number of odd-looking lizards wandering about, with crystals of all kinds of colors growing on their backs.

"Oh, quite a number." The dwarf finishes up on Tatakai's tattoo and steps back, letting her look at it, "Typically offensively based."
"Wow... it looks great!" Tatakai's lower right arm is covered in a network of thorny vines, converging on a rose in the palm of her hand.

[Legendofgenii]

Gen stared wide-eyed at the crystal lizards for a moment.

"Si t'soaa (a rose)... beautiful." Bellah said, admiring the end result.

"That looks great!" the siren reappeared. "I like the vines. So... can you use it right away? What does it do?"

((Roses are one of Bellah's 'likes'. ))

[Random_Guy]

"There's a testing range out back." The dwarf nods politely.
"You wanna come check it out?!" Tatakai asks excitedly.

(I did not know that.)

[DualDragons]

"You hear that?" Daemon whispers.
"Yes, now get out of my face." Cate grunts.
The three move closer to the location of the buffalo.

[Legendofgenii]

"Of course I do!" Gen couldn't wait to see what the tattoo did.

Bellah nodded, also eager to see what powers Tatakai's rose tattoo possessed.

((Her brother smuggled one in from the surface as a gift for her when she was a leveret. After that she trained to be a stone guardian so that she could see the surface for herself.))
