#magic elixir

[fishbowlb]

The local alchemist said my fluids or humours were wrong or something so i went to the local leech farm so they’d bleed me out a little. I think it cured my mood disorder. Also the alchemist gave me a productivity elixir, he said there were “amphetamines” in it? Whatever that means. Anyway i think im okay to cast spells again.

Be ready for perpetual damp socks, Richard.

Happy National Coffee Day to My Brew-Drinking Friends!

So, I’m not much of a coffee drinker.  I like the smell and don’t mind the taste if I add some sugar, cream, or ice cream to it.  Hot coffee has this habit of making me drowsy though, so I don’t go near it.  For all normal people, it’s a beloved drink that they need in the more to start their day.  So, this holiday is all for you!

SHERLOCK | Martin Freeman as John Watson

I'm not a fan of intrusive fantasy/urban fantasy when the magic is a Big Secret that must be kept from the public at all costs. Because truth shouldn't be limited to a select group. The truth should be open to everybody, so it's hard to root for people who want to keep everyone ignorant.

I much prefer

The main characters want people to know about magic, but they refuse to believe in it.

Magic is a completely ordinary part of everyday life and people can casually discuss it.

There is a bit of leeway for superhero stories, because the secret identity is an important part of the genre. It is usually more fun when people are in on the secret, because then the superheroics can become part of their daily life, like in the second option above. But even when the secret is kept, it doesn't quite feel like the same thing because

The superhero isn't hiding the existence of the entire world of superheroes/aliens/monsters/etc., just their own part in it

Which is much closer to humility than to the urban fantasy pride in being one of the few in the inner circle who know the truth.

Oh no! Poor Ansy. Good thing there is a fairy friend to help out. Also I bet Link and Ingo are tearing through as many recipes as they can manage to help out.

As we saw in the last comic, she was okay ^_^ Fairies don’t heal stamina (which stayed stubbornly low due to her health condition), but Sugar was able to bring her hearts back at least. Meanwhile, Link made her some Hearty Veggie Porridge to help.

Probably will follow up with something “Enduring” later to get her back on her feet. =u=

Invite

I'm soooo glad my friend invited me on vacation. This resort is amaaaaazing! Everywhere I turn there's pretty women with big smiles and bigger chests all dressed in bikinis and tiny skirts. Just like my busty, bubbly BFF.

It just makes me all smiley as I look around, my chest bobbing between my own top as I whip my long blonde hair back and forth. I don't really, like, remember having such a sexy bod...but my friend says I'm, like, sooooo relaxed that I'm becoming a forgetful ditz!

She's sooooo right. Just like she was about going on this trip. And getting the extra yummy drinks that made my boobies all big. Plus the time in the salon to plump my lips and fluff out my hair. I bet she's even right about how hot making out by the pool would be. Or even better, like, wiggling our way back to our room for an evening of sexy bimbo fun!

Gawd I love the Bimbo Resort. I'll have to ask my friend about becoming a member like her. Maybe even, like, offering other people two-tits-for-one packages too!

Personal headcanons for Gale's tower layout:

5F: An astronomical observatory with an orrery in it. The stardome is enchanted to reflect whatever sky and weather Gale wishes; if he wants to see the stars in Kythorn, that's what it shows him. If he wants rainy weather to read to, guess what. The stars reflect whatever position the orrery's been set to. There's a walkable ledge around the exterior of the roof for Tara's pigeon-hunting.

4F: A portal room, surrounded by three guest bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedrooms are themed: one smells like a sea breeze and faces the harbor, colored with sunset shades with gold accents, one smells like rose potpourri and fresh grass, mostly pastel purple with brass, one smells faintly spiced, deep maroon and bronze. Morena prefers the rose one. Each one comes equipped with a vanity that has three (magic) mirrors, a wardrobe that removes wrinkles and stains of anything hung in it and repairs minor stitches, a set of candles that never burn down their wicks, and curtains that, when drawn, enact a silent barrier around the room. The floors are polished hardwood with plush, patterned carpets. The bathroom is self-cleaning, has running water on command, whatever temp you want it, warms towels for you, and has a magic mirror (magic mirrors in my headcanon show hairstyles and things you WANT to try before you actually try them out).

3F: Gale's floor. His bedroom, a walk-in closet, a room for Tara, and a personal bathroom. Gale's bedroom has silence-spelled drapes, glowing crystal sconces he can dim with a wave, a desk, a large canopy bed (the one he summons during his last night in Act II), a small bookshelf for whatever he's currently reading that doubles as his nightstand, and a plush window seat. The walk-in closet is neatly sorted, with everything from travel robes to finery to wear to the annual Blackstaff Ball, and has the same enchantments in it as the guest room wardrobes, with the added effect of making anything put in it inexplicably smell like a library. His bathroom is just like the guest ones, but larger. The bathtub inside, when activated, always assumes he wants his bath piping hot and lavender-scented. Tara's room is smaller, but fully designed for her little cat body. Scratching posts, cat-sized perches and comfy cat towers, and a little bookcase and window seat of her own. She keeps her space VERY neat, in contrast to Gale's "organized chaos" sort of living.

2F: This is the floor we see in Gale's Act II illusion. The packed library, the messy desk, the private study, the balcony... He sorts his books by topic, then by date rather than author. Tara is appalled by it. The balcony has a minor enchantment to keep weather, pigeons, and seagulls off of it. Tara is upset at the lack of birds; it's SUCH a cozy napping spot, and you're going to take away her free breakfast, too? Gale's compromise was the 5th floor's walkable ledge, which is a prime pigeon-hunting perch.

1F: The entry floor. It's got a sitting room to entertain guests with, and a large, well-kitted kitchen. The dishwashing basin does the washing for Gale. On the wall in the sitting room, there are two notable paintings: one is of young, 10-year-old Gale in a cape, standing proudly with both his parents and holding his first-ever proper wizard staff. He's TRYING to have Tara on his shoulders, he insisted, but she's just too big, so he's wound up leaning forward where she awkwardly perches on his back. He has a snaggle tooth. The other painting is of a much older Gale, dressed finely and standing with his mother, smiling. It was made before he got the beard, so he looks a decent bit younger than he is. Tara is wrapped around Morena's shoulders like one of those feather boas, but she's headbutting Gale's shoulder affectionately.

B1: Gale's wine cellar and well-stocked pantry. He collects all kinds of wines from all over Faerûn, usually getting them from merchants that pass through Waterdeep, but he's not opposed to cracking open an expensive vintage with the right company. There's a locked cabinet labeled "in case of Elminster" that contains some cheeses and wine to offer the older wizard, that way Elminster doesn't raid Gale's pantry when he's not looking. If you don't feed Elminster, he WILL feed himself at your expense.

B2: Gale's spell workshop, scroll storage, alchemy lab, and vault. Gale's not especially well-versed in alchemy (I think Wyll's got dibs on that, personally), but he DOES mix himself up some Arcane Cultivation elixirs from time to time. And if a potion recipe intrigues him enough, he likes to have a place on hand to try things out. The vault is well-guarded with spells, but, sadly, pretty empty; it just has his savings there now, where once it held all sorts of enchanted items he'd picked up through his studies and younger adventuring days.

An additional note: Tara has perches all throughout the house, on every floor, basically anywhere Gale spends a lot of time doing things. The cushions that are hers are magically heated and smell like tea and mint.

zelda and link’s house has stores of various hyrulean herbs and plants scattered about. a bundle of dried swift violets hanging by a window, for brewing into teas on days where one of both of them don’t quite have the energy to do their daily errands. crates of endura shrooms and stamella shrooms for making into stir-fry, for days when just getting out of bed is proving difficult. hearty truffles for times when the wear of the last century becomes too much for tired bones to bear. zelda will find herself in the hateno general store picking out various ingredients, and the inn keeper who just so happens to be stocking up on milk will notice, and she will jot down tried and true recipes that will be sure to soothe link’s aching joints.
