A Busy Wizard’s Winter (Open)

Who: Harry, Rose the Pygmy Puff, and YOU!
What: Café Work, Practicing Kinetic Magic, Snowball Fight, and Goblins!
When: All of December
Where: Avalon’s city center, training grounds, snowball fight area, and lower town
Warnings: None at the moment, will update this when something comes up


Teen Barista
It took some time for Harry to search high and low for a job that can allow teens as employees, but he is doing work as a part-time barista in the café within city center. Sure, it is not exactly what he has in mind back home, but this should do for now; patiently taking orders, brewing drinks, and dealing with customer concerns and complaints. Today is very busy at the moment with the lunch rush starting to happen and people are entering the café looking for a place to sit and something to eat. What’s more: there are seasonal drinks and foods made to tie into the Winter Solstice season and everyone will be salivating over them for sure. Luckily, his kinetic magic is also handy in getting plenty of tasks he has as a barista from delivering drinks and food to quickly getting spare change from the cash register while he multitasks on the fly during this time of the year.

Thankfully, the owner/manager is kind enough to let Rose accompany him at work, though he has been told not to let her run amok or eat up supplies while at work, which they both comply around the clock. You can catch him taking your order (or someone else’s order) or making drinks on the fly. Or say hi to Rose while she dances around on top of the food display case.

Mind Over Matter
It’s about time that he gets to put his newfound kinetic magic to good use. Upon arriving at the training area, he walks towards a clearing with Rose riding on his head this time, doing her best to maintain her balance while her master walks down the dirt and rock covered path. Putting down his backpack onto a fallen log which acts as a bench and with Rose hopping onto the log to sit on, he could see rocks, twigs, and fallen branches of various sizes on the ground.

Harry then does his best to visualize a magical force tossing those things at him like playing catch or chasing after a Golden Snitch during a round of Quidditch before flicking his right index and middle fingers towards a rock and when it flies towards him, he immediately catches it at once. Rose happily squeaks in joy as her master captures a rock. Soon his focus targets a fallen branch the size of his arm and he attempts to make it float by lifting his right hand up to the sky. The branch slowly rises up for a few meters and stay that way for around 3 minutes before it landed on the ground. Not by much, but at least he gets some practice while he’s at it.

Feel free to chat with him and practice magic together.

Trial and Icy Errors
Snowball fights sound like fun, that’s what Harry thought to himself when he sees Merlin sending a text about practising magic through snowball fights and he has been looking forward for any opportunities to get better at it. After all, he does have kinetic magic, so he has a bit of an advantage to slug some snowballs at people for fun. Thank Merlin that it happens to be on his day off from the café so he gets out there, carrying a basket full of shimmering rainbow snowballs and loose rainbow snow while Rose stays cozy inside one of his coat pockets with her head sticking out to see snow falling all over.

Harry then begins to float a trio of snowballs before maneuvering his right index finger to fling them into some trees for target practice and he soon discovers whenever he sends three snowballs at his selected target, they either expand in size faster than Aunt Marge after she had pushed him too far before bursting into rainbow snow slushie or bounce back and hit at random trees and rocks or sometimes flying back at him, the last one has him dodging them as swiftly as he can. In addition, he is also being careful with how much snow needed to pack into a snowball as he witnessed some people having trouble with snowballs with large sizes.

And to make things even more interesting, a group of mischievous people is flinging snowballs at him at random behind his back: Harry has to run fast and dodge faster from the mischievous snowball fight participants before he finds some shelter behind a large bush, all while carrying that basket of rainbow snowballs and snow. While he is busy sending snowballs to fly at his opponents, he then turns to the person next to him, saying, “Well, it looks like we got to stick together to scare them off.”

Jack Bredbeddle(s)
The quest sounds simple enough: get the mischievous Jack Bredbeddle and turn him over to the authorities. Harry knows this sounds like a great chance to help the locals out during his free time and days off. He has been gathering information from the people who witnessed Jack’s antics and pranks so he can keep up to date and track the man down. Soon enough, he has caught on to the pattern and was slowly inching closer to getting Jack and ending his pranking spree.

Luckily, he has been looking a close eye on the green tint in ‘Jack’'s sclera when he catches him trying to set some horses loose on the streets one mid-morning and yanks in him with levitation towards him so he can take the fellow to the authorities. Except that he wasn’t expecting that there would be more than ONE Jack Bredbeddle, as he soon finds himself getting swarmed by goblins: small green goblins, not like the goblins he was used to seeing back home, these ones are terrifying as they can get.

The young former wizard does his best to keep them at bay by pushing them away from him and the onlooking crowds as far as possible and hopefully into nets, although he does know he will need some help if he wants to end these goblins’ terror on the people.

That sounds like a good plan. Then they can all be in one place.

Do you have anything gold?

[Regrettably, he does not.]

Seems like you were really ready for this.

[He definitely feels unprepared in comparison, but then, he had really shown up to help. He might have to start carrying some more stuff around, he thinks.

Still, he places the gold in the center and then goes to find a place out of sight.]

[That would make sense. Tsuna should probably look at getting a steady job. He and Gokudera can't stay in the inn forever.]

Got 'em! That's all, right?

[He'll help hold things steady so that their wiggling doesn't ultimately free them.]

Leave that to me and Aki!

[They can stand guard if nothing else and Tsuna will do his best to look intimidating.

Which is a little difficult when he can't use his Hyper Dying Will mode.]

I think they're starting to slow down to. They've mostly been trying to get out of the nets.

[It is so nice to actually explain things to reasonable authorities and not be running from them.]

Looks like it. Glad that one worked out pretty well.

[His hands on still on fire, but he'll deal with that later. Otherwise he would offer a hi-five or something.]
theskyaccepts: (cautious optimism)

Sounds good!

Yeah, we should be good for now.
