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.

[Tsuan is not one to let a friend get attacked, but at the same time he feels pretty helpless. Without his usual method of fighting (activating his Hyper Dying Will mode and transforming his gloves), he's not quite sure what to do. He doesn't usually get into fistfights and he still doesn't entirely trust his magic.

So, he'll try for something else.]


Aki, get those goblins off him!

[And the Griffin charges forward with a loud screech!]

The girl waiting on the line was in a bright pink jumpsuit with a logo on the chest and larger on the back. She stood and waited patiently, her shoulders straight, her posture perfect. Her face was hard to read though. She spoke to no one else on line, keeping her hands folded in front of her perfectly, moving only when it was time to step forward. She didn't look happy, or unhappy for that matter.

So when she got to his register, it was hard to tell what she wanted when she asked only "is there a manager that I could speak to, please?"

Was she there to complain? Hard to tell, her voice was just loud enough to be heard, no louder, her voice not inflected any useful way.

She nodded and smiled, relaxing a bit. "We're going to have to pay rent, and we'll need other things too. So I should find somewhere to work. And it has to be something I can do around helping and acting if I can get any roles here. This is close to one of the jobs I used to have as a Moz Girl..." she immediately regretted having said that and her whole face darkened. Her shameful past when all her hard work and money were for a slug. Ugh.

She looked disgusted now.

"Even if I get acting roles, those don't pay consistently, so I'd love to have a job here too, just to be sure," she said, bouncing back with a smile. "I've done food service before, but never in a place as Western as this."

[personal profile] souls_of_roles 2020-12-15 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
She gave a perfect and formal Japanese bow to the manager, face back to politely neutral.

"I am Kyoko Mogami. I have been working customer facing food service jobs since I was a small child. I am sorry that I do not have references that you can contact. But I can work hard and I learn quickly. I would like a job, please, if you are hiring any additional hands."

No problem, are you okay?

[He does wish he could do more but his magic is only so effective right now. Still, he's activated the fire on both hands. It's weird to be in combat like this.]

It looks like there were more of them to.

She formally thanked the manager then darted around back to find an apron. She nodded and smiled at Harry. "Looks like it!"

She was glad she was able to find a job so quickly! Somedays it paid to look plain and hard working, she supposed.

"Wherever I am needed. Probably register takes the least training, since I've worked those before." At Moz, ant the gas station, and clearing checks at the end of the night.

"Alright, senpai!" she bowed to him then turned to take over the register.

"Welcome, I'm Kyoko, what can I get you today?" she asked the first customer with a bright sales girl smile.

[Unfortunately, Tsuna doesn't really have any healing abilities, so he can't help with that.]

Sounds like it got pretty confusing.

So, I guess we've got to catch them all?

[This is going to be tough.]

He is squinting at the menu, hands in his pockets. It may be he needs glasses for this but he'll be damned if he's going to get them, so he's just going to try and make it out. His own familiar is by sitting by his side and a little behind, a smoky ethereal grim in the form of a whippet that would be ominous if it wasn't thumping its tail against the ground.

After a moment Alec says:

"What do you recommend?"

Crowley swaggered in and took up a spot at the bar. He stayed quiet for only a moment before picking up a spoon and clinking it against a glass sugar container.

"Oi, any chance of getting a decent cup of coffee here??"
scotch_egg: (what)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2020-12-18 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Strawberry snow?" he wrinkles his nose. "S'long as it's not lemonade." He scans through the menu, holding it at a bit of a distance. Everything is full of sugar and caffeine, all subtlety thrown out the window.

"Why are there never any grownup drinks this time of year?"

The small...creature that seems to accompany the kid, perhaps as a familiar, bounces in Alec's field of vision and he stares at it a moment.

"And what do you call that?"
