Raleigh's Magic Shop

[Raleigh]

When you can cross infinity in the time it would take others to blink its a habit. That and it comes with the whole ancient shape shifting entity bit.

*Callista will find that at first look it appears to be an ordinary dagger but there is a sensation of the thing vibrating in her hand and a low hum around it. If her hearing is particularly good she might make out something like a very high pitched tuning fork.*

[AmbushCat]

Infinity, huh? Sheesh. With all of these different multiversal possibilities, no wonder it's going to take so long for the cycle to end.

---

Callista: *nods* This is it. I think this may be all for today. *brings the weapons with her to the counter* Ring me up, Raleigh. How much?

[Raleigh]

But that is what is so great about it. *He chuckles.* Plus it cuts down on travel cost that I can be anywhere or any when with but a thought.

Let's see the basilisk, the sonic, and ole ruby eye. That'll be about 3,070 hl.

[AmbushCat]

Heh. I'd safely say that trumps dimen-portation.

----

Callista: Alright. *flips through her wallet* I kinda hate to say this, Raleigh, but it'll be a while before I'm able to go shopping around here again.

[Raleigh]

I suppose it does. It costs me more energy to form these physical bodies than it does for me to travel. Actually in truth the most energy costly thing I do is create these bodies usually.

Ouch, surely I didn't clear out your wallet already. Something up? *Takes the money and puts it into the till.*

[AmbushCat]

Considering that it ain't your true form by a long shot, I can understand why the power consumption trumps everything else.

---

Callista: *smirks* You ain't anywhere close to emptying my account, trust me. *expression becomes more neutral* Actually, as odd as this sounds, I'm going to finish my education. I wanted to get my diploma, so I took a few tests and got accepted at my clone's old high school.

[Raleigh]

Ah yes, you are one of the few who have seen it I believe, right?

Well its a shame you won't be around but it is good to hear that you are going to continue your education. Knowledge is power as they say and I firmly agree with it.

[AmbushCat]

*shakes his head* Nope. Never seen it. I just know that what you exhibit in your true form is a few steps above what you're capable of as Raleigh.

---

Callista: *playful grin* Thanks, "Walter". *offers her hand* I figure I should be back in late May, early June or thereabouts. Maybe Zapana or one of the others will give you a bit of business in the meantime.

[Raleigh]

*Accepts the hand for a handshake.* Then I shall say see you again in the near future and good luck. May you do well in your classes.

Heheh, I think I'm starting to sound like I'm bragging so I guess we should discuss something else for now. What was up with Circe and Ellen, I think it was, wanting to fight with her?

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *smiles confidently* Thank you. Ciao mein for now!

*The shopaholic waves good-bye, then turns and walks out of the shop.*

-----

*voice turns feminine* Well, if I got the whole story correctly, Circe was going to be undergoing some Form VI lightsaber practice with our resident Jedi late that night. The way the test worked was that there would be these people with varying capabilities waiting on the sidelines to interrupt the fight, and Circe would have to fight them if she wanted to continue the test. With each one defeated, Eunice would use more of his capabilities; the test would be finished if she was able to beat everyone.

Ellen caught wind of this, decided that it was as good a time as any to determine what her full abilities were at the time, and got Eunice's OK to be one of the attackers. I was feeling really tired that evening, so Ricky and I went to bed early. Ellen waited until she was sure that we were asleep, then snuck out of the house and hitched a ride to the test area.

When Ellen's turn to fight finally came, well... Circe was very displeased. *stops at this point to rest her voice a moment*

[Jello Shot Mischa]

Mischa wanders into the shop for a visit! "Bah, already missed out on the Touhou conversation..."

[AmbushCat]

*While she's resting her voice, A. C. holds up a sign.*

"The whole thing boiled down to two statements:" *flip* "#1: Calli ran down Yukari going into the hat shop." *flip* "#2: Yukari's been annoying her ever since."

[Jello Shot Mischa]

Mischa ohs? "Inbetween naps, I suppose..."

[AmbushCat]

*recovers his voice* Yeh. It doesn't happen all day, just a handful of times within a five hour period or so. Like this little prank, for instance.

*A clicking noise can be heard, and Callista's voice issues forth from A. C.'s ears.*

...had part of my sweater ripped off and "I Love Himitsu" tattooed on my back...

[Jello Shot Mischa]

Mischa winces. "Too much information, I suppose. Tattoos have always kind of squicked me." He shrugs. "That frequently, though, huh? And here I thought she took naps that lasted days at a time!"
