soul_logs | EVENT: The Great BREW Malfunction Pt II [OPEN]

Characters: Everyone and anyone
Location: Anywhere in Death City!
Rating: PG-13
Time: July 16 to July 18th
Description: And then it gets worse.

By now, no one is popping in and out of existence, but that's hardly any consolation when odd things keep happening.

At first it's not that bad. An innocuous item or two shows up. Something harmless wanders around that you're sure has never been in Death City before.

By the second day, bigger and more dangerous things start showing up and by the third...

Well.

As long as you don't mind the giant pieces of debris or creatures blocking the road or the sky, it's not that bad, right?

((OOC: List of canon items and creatures arriving can be found here. Remember, the list only tells you where they initially show up. They'll probably move on soon enough to a new location.

Remember to put Character | Location | OPEN/CLOSED in your subject!))

But it can't be a true Chamber of Horrors without them. Looking like something and being it is different, you know.

[And he actually does have the caviar now. He's planning on selling it to someone before this whole thing is over and who knows what happens to it.]

Maybe but this doesn't seem like to best thing to have around if these folks are against witches.

[And Lily still wouldn't be the one buying it even if he offered it again...]

Why's that?

[Well, he'll probably try at some point anyway...just for kicks.]

Haven't you heard of voodoo dolls? Wax figures could easily become poppets.

I've heard of them but I always thought they were amde of straw.

[Learn somethig new everyday.]

Well, it's the same basic idea. Figures like this could be manipulated in magic, be used to hurt folks if a connection is formed.

[The addition of things such as hair or nail clippings would be enough to form an association. That's why she still always pulls any loose strands from her hairbrush and burns them.]

You don't say.

[He sounds a bit too thoughtful when he says that.]

So does it actually have to look like the person? And would it work on someone very far from here? Like say, in another world?

[No, it doesn't have to look like the person. It can just be a crude wax doll but...]

How the heck the heck would I know if it'd work on someone in another world?! It's not as if I dabble in that kind of thing!

Pity. I guess I'll just have to try and hope for the best then.

[She raises an eyebrow at him critically.]

That's not the type of thing that should be toyed with.

Why not?

Because you might cause something bad to happen if you try to cast something like that willy nilly.

To me or to whoever I'm cursing?

[This is important.]

Both. [Practicing the dark arts isn't without consequences and those who would cast such a spell would have to share in the damage they cause.]

Or maybe even someone unrelated.

Then you're saying I should find a book and learn properly?

[THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE'S SAYING AT ALL.]

No. Trying to duplicate ancient spells without completely knowing what you're doing is even worse! [The knowledge to cast those spells tends to be lost over time if they're not passed down properly.]

I'm sure there's a 'Casting Curses for Dummies' on sale somewhere.

That isn't the point.

Then what is?

That you shouldn't be casting curses at all.

[She would have thought that should be obvious!]

But I want to. Especially on this guy.

Wanting to doesn't mean that you should.

[Really! Didn't even children realize such things?]

[He smirked.]

What can I say? I am a fickle man who acts on his whims.

[He shrugged and spread his arms a little, as if to say, 'what can you do?']

[She just huffed at his careless attitude.]

Believe me. You'd be better off not acting on this whim.

I'll be extra careful to make sure it only affects the stupid four eyes.

[It's practically a promise...except he has a habit of ignoring those.]
