A New Life, an Ancient Profession

Who: Misery. Open.
Where: Capricorn District.
Summary: A place of nature should have SOME potential reagents.
Warnings: Misery.
A witch needed ingredients. The stores were well and good, but they obviously only catered to a specific type of shopper -- which is to say the modern types, the ones who wanted nothing but pre-packaged nonsense. Anyway, she hadn't the cash for that sort of thing, and she needed to find a way to start. Money, it seems, makes the world go round even if you want nothing to do with it.

Some quick research had revealed this area, perhaps the closest to nature one could find in a city like this. Perhaps at some point she could venture outside the city walls for a better chance of finding useful things... or creatures. This would have to suffice for now.

Of course, a strange world in strange circumstances meant ANYTHING could be of potential use, which is why she seems to be sampling a bit of everyhing. A touch of bark? A flower? A grass? She collects. It's rather an odd sight for those unused to the old magics. To be fair, of course, Misery is a bit out of touch with them herself. Years of only doing the magics asked of her can make someone a little rusty.

But she can learn. She CAN learn. What a wonderful feeling.

She seems almost happy, actually. This might change if anybody interrupts her, of course. Which, considering what she's doing right now, is almost an inevitability.

He smiles then. Oersted gives his answer in the form of accepting the offered handshake. His grip isn't terribly firm, but it does have traces of conviction regardless.

"Though it seems we'll be privy to each others' activities. Still, an ally wouldn't hurt. Not in a place so full of surprises like this. I will accept your offer on one condition.

You haven't yet given me your name."

"An odd name, but I won't think of you any less of it. As long as we're being honest, in a former life, I took the name of Odio. Oersted is only my birth name."

Misery and Hatred. What a combination.
