OPEN RP POST YEEEEEAAAAH
Feb. 6th, 2013 09:57 pm[You're walking home from school, or to work, your stare blank and your steps automatic; you're crossing the country on foot with a pack on your back, or fleeing for your life, feet bare and breath ragged; you're desperately seeking a hiding place, or just looking for a moment's respite, or thinking of nothing at all.
You turn a corner, or you glance up, or you squint along the path ahead, and you see it. It fills up a lot you were sure was nothing but dirty concrete and sprouting weeds yesterday; it perches on the edge of a cliff, or its windows glow between crowds of trees, or its gates seem to elbow the surrounding buildings out of their way, and the roof does not quite reflect perfectly the shapes of the clouds whose shadows cross it. You are struck simultaneously by the strangeness of it, here of all places, and by how neatly it fits into space it shouldn't be able to occupy.
It is a low house with a curved roof, visible in the single gap in the tall black fence that surrounds it. Nothing about it is welcoming, exactly; but your steps, be they frantic or measured, turn in its direction. There seems, quite suddenly, nowhere else to go.
Sound from outside vanishes when you step through the gate. The garden is tranquil, and the house well-kept. The sliding door is open, and the shopkeeper is waiting for you on the step, as though he was expecting you. (He was.)
You are here because you have a wish, and the shopkeeper is here to offer you the power to grant it.
The question is: Can you afford it?]
(HEY GUYS THIS IS AN OPEN RP POST, for Kimihiro Watanuki in his role as the keeper of the shop that grants wishes! Has your character ever wanted anything, ever? Do they desire power, or fame, or peace, or protection? Do they have a burden they'd give anything to shed, an item they'd give anything to recover, an ailment, physical or mental or supernatural, that they'd do anything to heal, or a mistake they'd do anything to repair? Are they seeking advice, or a look into the past, or a glimpse of the future? THEN CONGRATULATIONS, THEY HAVE A REASON TO BE HERE.
I am totes up for bullshitting previous CR, or putting this in a TST AU, or any other nifty plot suggestions you have! Hit me up on plurk if you'd like to discuss the details of the negotiation before we play it out, or have any questions about the shop/Watanuki's power/what the hell ever!)
