PC just exited this plane of existence. Posts might be slow. The ritualist has been contacted and is communing with the spirits. Hopefully it'll be resolved soon.

Just standing there, waiting for her clerk to finish his business she started to feel uneasy. With a sigh of defeat she went over to the bar, moving her slender body through the crowd as she tried not to bump too many with her bag that dangled happiply from her shoulder. Maybe she should have brought a smaller one . . . Then again, she never new what her clerk would have for her. She sat down between a woman who was picking at her fish and chips and seemingly didn‘t enjoy it much and a man with a small beard and dark eyes who just looked like plain trouble. Well, she‘d have to wait a while for the time being. Bending over the counter she waved for the bartender who came rushing by. With a smile she gave up her order: „Hello! I‘d like a large glass of water, please.“ Her voice was soft and barely carried over the noise of her surroundings. The man ogled at her. „Pardon, Missy?“ She sighed, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. „A GLASS OF WATER!“ she almost shouted. The man started laughing. „We don‘t serve no water here!“ Disbelief and frustration played in her features. Was the guy serious?!

When the bartender went away without another word Eyja almost collapsed onto the bar chair. She had been defeated because of a glass of water . . . How ludicrous! She looked over to the table of the man she was waiting for. He was still in deep conversation. At least she had a place to sit. Her gaze wandered to the woman. She smiled friendly before continuing her scan through the crowd. A little nervous she started playing with her pendant. The man next to her seemed somewhat . . . off . . . She couldn‘t quite grasp it. Perhaps it was just the heat in the room or the sound level surrounding her. Maybe it even just was hunger. She‘d had nothing since breakfast and she wouldn‘t be home for another few hours. Maybe she should get something here. The thought lingered for a moment before she shook her head. No, if she asked for a salad the man would probably throw her out entirely!
The day had been like any other. Eyja had woken in her small bedroom, greeted Calfer and enjoyed her morning cup of peppermint tea with some linseed crackers and dried fruit. Afterwards she had gone to work in her shop until she closed for the day. Having a daily routine that had nothing to do with cleansing rituals and meditation circles was a blessing to the young witch. Of course she still practised her beliefs, just not to the extent of what was normal with her couvern. As she sold some dried camomile she thought of her sisters and a yearning came to her heart. She'd have to visit them soon.

Calfer sat on his perch in her shop and softly cooed when they were alone. She went over to stroke his head. “I think I'm going out tonight.” Eyja told the owl. “I still need to get my hands on some Doxy eggs.” The owl cooed again, ruffling it's feathers. She sighed. “You know I can't take you with me. People would notice! And you know we're not supposed to reveal ourselves to ordinary humans.” A snap of the beak was her answer. “I'll be careful. Take good care of the house now!” The bird turned it's head to one side, planely ignoring her. This made the young witch leave with a smile. Calfer was far too worried! What on earth could happen with the Order around?

Making her way through London she sat in the bus, staring at all the buildings it passed. At first she had been intimidated by the city, but now that she had grown accustomed to it it didn't frighten her any more. The enclosure had become more of a comfort to her, securing her from the wolrds dreads. Ironic, somehow. Other people didn't feel at ease in the noise, dirt and hectic of the city. Yet for Eyja it had become a home she felt safe in.

The bus stopped in front of a bakery and the witch got off, continuing her small journey by foot. The further she went, the quieter everything was. Then she had reached her destination and entered the Abandoned Bar. Now, where was her usual clerk whom she got exquisite and rare ingredients from? Looking around she stayed near the entrance, trying to spy through the crowd, her long hair dancing around her shoulders like liquid fire, bright in contrast to her dark clothing and pale face. Finally she found the man who was sitting at a table, deep in conversation with another. Perhaps she'd wait a bit . . .
Will there be a posting order?

@LouLou@PhoenixWhite@Zaresto@The Narrator

T.T
It would be soooooo sad for this to just die . . .

@Xhala Accepted Very Nice. :)


Yay! I'll just take the liberty of posting it in the characters section. :D
You have a clairvoyants ability in your list of abilities. May i suggest just having her as an elementalist to better min max her power set. Water manipulation can be useful when making potions. Instant bunsen burner in your hand with fire. Wind control is already one of your powers. Then earth well you can make yourself some cool statues.


I edited the CS with your advice in mind. I hope it's ok now.
If there are anymore questions or unclarities, just let me know, I'm sure we'll figure it out ;)



Waiting for approval

@TheDookieNut Don't worry too much about it, ok? No stress! I can wait :)
@Nytefall Is my CS accepted then?
