Fantasy Magic Brew Cafè (CLOSED)

Jun attempted to return the same greeting toward Eliana but she had already swept behind the creature's massive wings, and his hand fell somewhat limply to his side. When he answered Seera the shade's voice was softer than usual as the events from yesterday raced to his memory. "It appeared out of no where. There was so much destruction but we managed to make it back safely thanks to Oliver. Eventually the hound just...left. It's a relief to see both of you though" - the dragon gave a noticeable snort then, as if realizing the shade's miscount - "three, I mean," Jun corrected hastily, "we were starting to wonder about your whereabouts."

"Oh....dear. So, that's what happened." Eliana reappeared from behind Yan's back, finished inspecting. "So, Jun, where are Eliie and Vincent? Out shopping for Halloween, correct?" Seera hoped they were, as Halloween was one of her favorite holidays. It ment she could stay in, drink wine, and steal candy from the trick-or-treaters.

For a moment Jun stood there helpless, wondering of the pair's whereabouts at almost the exact same time. As he turned his head from side to side, a tiny flap of colored paper caught his eye, and seeing his name scrawled across the top, he went to retrieve the it hanging on the mirror.


It was written in flowing script that was signed by Ellie at the end, and after a quite moment, his lips ceasing their silent movement, he smiled. "They're at the Halloween corner store here in town. It's about two blocks away called Pops and Merles'" He gestured for the small party to follow, unable to fathom how the dragon would make his grand exit, as he started out the door. "They'll be excited to see your return, Seera."

After deciding she didn't want to listen to the couple endlessely tease eachother, she went to the back, grabbed her ladder and climbed back up to the roof, this time it wasn't to paint. She had rope in hand, the kind you'd use to make a tire swing, and most of the time, when ever tricker treaters came by either Raya or Merle would swing like Tarzan to the door. The kids loved seeing that -plus it was super fun. She tied the rope firmly to one of the metal bars that supported the roof then climbed back down the ladder, did a tarzan call just for the hell of it and started swinging around.

Jun hoped his overwhelming curiosity wasn't too apparent as he slipped out the door and fascinated over the idea of how the dragon would tumble out of the cafe. Would it be spectacular where he would burst through the wall, showering dust and gravel as he expanded his wings to the sky? Or possibly the cafe would somehow billow out and accommodate the beast's massive girth, driven by some unseen magic?


Whatever the case as Jun swiveled on a heel to watch in eager anticipation, he was met with only Seera, who was currently waving good bye to her other companions. Eliana and the dragon would remain behind, the crystal girl announced lightly, expressing how long the journey had been and that the dragon required a good nap. With reassurance she added that the creature - affectionately named Yan - would do no harm to the cafe while they were gone.


It left Jun pondering how Yan would settle into the cafe, wondering if scorched furniture would meet the group once they returned, but after locking the door the pair started off. Seeing as his sense of direction was only short of laughable, Jun found himself leading Seera in circles before finally spotting the shop.


"They should be in he - " he began, relieved to find the shop still in business and holding the door open for the girl when a wild whoop cut through the conversation. Frazzled by the sound the shade hastened inside, thinking something had gone awry in the shop.

Akira woke up to find herself in Alexander's castle, sunlight streamed through birds outside chirping. She sat up to notice her clothes were changed into a nightgown she blushed. "Who..?" she noticed a beautiful blue and silver dress at the end of the bed and got up changing behind the wooden screen in the room.


She left the room to go find Alexander but soon got lost roaming the hallways, she rarely ever visited his castle afterall.


Eventually she found a familiar path and opened the door to the kitchen instead of finding cooks she found Alexander working away


making breakfast. "Alex?" Alexander whipped around pancake batter flying off the giant spoon in his hand "Ah, I was hoping you would stay asleep awhile longer, I wanted to bring you breakfast in bed." Akira smiled pancake batter splatted on the wall next to her "Such a waste of Pancake batter"


Alexander chuckled "Since you are up go take a seat, breakfast is almost ready" Akira smiled and walked over to the dinning table pausing for a second


"Ah.. Alexander?" Alexander turned his head to her slightly "Yes Little bird?" Akira smiled a little threateningly "Who changed my clothes?"


Alexander raised an eyebrow "One of the female servants why?" he smirked "Worried I was the one who did it?"


Akira blushed "NO! W..Why would I possibly think that? I just wanted to thank her is all."


Alexander nodded "Mhm... I'll pretend I believe that for your sake." he teased


Akira rolled her eyes, Alexander placed everything on plates and on trays carrying them over and setting the table, As he passed by Akira's seat he placed the last tray leaning down


next to her his eyes shifting to her face to see the blush still there. A chuckle escaped him as he looked upon her fondly "So cute"


Akira's blush deepened and she lightly shoved him "O..Oh shut it." Alexander smirked leaning down kissing her cheek "I'm only speaking the truth my beautiful bird."


Her eyes widened as she tried hiding her blush "B..beautiful?" Alexander smiled curling strands of her hair around his fingers still looking at her face his one hand reaching around cupping her cheek gently making her face him. "Beautiful, Cute, Pretty, Lovely, Gorgeous, Stunning. None of those words could even compare to what I think of you. None of them are good enough for you." He leaned down gently pulling her closer kissing her.


Akira smiled "What has gotten into you?" Alexander chuckled shaking his head "Mmm... Maybe its just I'm completely head over heels for you. Or maybe I've finally lost my mind."


Akira giggled "That makes two of us then" she blushed with a hum leaning into the hand on her cheek her one hand reaching up holding it in place her eyes closed softly.


Alexander smiled softly "I am the luckiest man in the world" Akira opened her eyes slightly "Why is that?" Alexander had a faint blush that was difficult to see bloom on his face his smile softening even more, it was so sweet looking Akira could swear her heart would melt. "Because I manage to have someone as amazing as you love and want to marry someone as twisted as me." Akira smiled "You are not twisted, you may have lost your way...* she took both his hands in her own looking into his eyes "But I shall help you find it again Alex"


Alexander sighed softly bringing both her hands to his lips kissing them softly before letting them go "Thank you... Akira." he cleared his throat and turned away blushing sitting in the chair next to her he pointed lazily to Akira's plate "You should get some food onto your plate and eat, you'll need your energy and strength after everything that has happened."


Akira smiled nodding. She blushed when she heard an "I love you" from him as he glanced at her. "I love you too Alex." She turned smiling brightly at him making him blush more "Hurry up and eat" he turned a slight bit more hiding the blooming smile on his face with his hand but unable to hide the soft pure love in his eyes.

Raya let out another whoop then a wild "Yeehah.", just when she noticed Jun and a Crystal(?) At the door, "Oh hi Stranger! Hi Jun!" She called out as she swung around the mix and match section then pushed herself of the wall with her feet, "Junny bunny! You look like you just saw a ghost. Quit frowning." She demanded, then giggled like a kid on a sugar rush when she realized she just called him a bunny. After swinging around a sharp turn she accidently slipped and crashed into a pile of clothes, which made her decide to play dead for a few seconds before popping to her feet, "I'm not dead! Suprise! I want cookies, didn't Pop make some the s'morning." She though out loud before bouncing into the backroom, not bothering to lock the door. Little did she know that leftover cotton candy was not a good lunch.

(What's Happening?!)


(Anyone free?)

From where he stood, Jun hardly recognized Raya as she whizzed from one room to the other, hardly realizing he had earned another nickname in the process. Had it not been for the bright shock of hair flying behind her or how she called out in familiarity, he could have easily mistaken her as a rampant twin finally set loose at closing.


As she cartwheeled out of control and into a rack of clothing, the sudden silence seemed out of place as he started to check on her before going rigid with shock as she burst through the props and random apparel and dashed towards the back in an excited whirl.


To himself the words What just happened reeled through his mind, and he glanced from side to side, in partial disbelief, hoping someone would confirm the happenings that had just taken place. But Seera, at some point, had left his side to examine a shelve of masks kept locked in a glass container. He checked for Ellie but found her entertaining herself by wrapping a feathered boa about Vincent's neck, the demon giving a forced smile in return. Apparently they had missed what had happened as well.


@DestinyRed

Raya grabbed three cookies then popped back out the door, "How was the walk over here? Was the boredom enough to drive you insane?" She asked then remembered he seemed to like peace and quiet then scrunched up her nose, "Boring!" She cried then pried open Jun's moth with her fingers and stuck a cookie between his teeth then did an Italian accent, "Have a cookie!" Before she chomped down her own in a matter of seconds. The teen climbed up the 'To high to be comfortable' ladder and stuck out her toung at everyone, "I'm the king of the castle, your the dirty rascals!" She called then barked in laughter.

"Raya, whah ahr yooh dooh - !" The sentence grew swiftly unintelligible as the girl he addressed, upon reappearing, crossed the room with a determined look in her eye - making the shade genuinely nervous - before shoving something sweet into his mouth. A small sound of protest escaped him and he meant to speak, biting off a piece of whatever was in his mouth and chewing to..!


He paused and concentrated on the flavors now bursting on his tongue and his face grew awe struck as he held the half bitten cookie before him. It was absolutely delicious as he nibbled at the corner of a small pecan, savoring the treat. While Raya continued to cackle down half hearted boasts from above, scarmbling up who knows what to reach the second level, a calendar resting against the wall beside him drew the shade's attention away.


Ellie had only mentioned to him of visiting the costume shop, leaving Jun to think it a pleasant reprieve from the cafe, but as he noticed the circled date it made complete sense. Halloween. Of course. Jun turned and not knowing where to begin, picked a random row and started down the aisle, wide eyed and silently enthralled.

Oliver stirred, groaning as his eyes flew open. He reached a numb feeling hand up to his neck, pressing down on the aching muscles just underneath the pale skin. Somehow, it felt as if his whole body was stiff and sore, and when the imp regained his bearings, he suddenly understood why. Oliver looked around, a hint of a frown on his face. He was in the backroom, sprawled up against the wall with his feet tucked up beneath him, and from the looks of it, he had been there for quite some time.


The imp moaned as he got to his feet, his joints popping and cracking much like that of an old man, and when he thought about that, a giggle bubbled up in his chest. He couldn't really remember much from the previous night, other than the fact that he had been blackout drunk and kinda tired. A quick second scan of the room brought back more flashes of memories from last night, though, as he noticed the crumpled up bed sheets on the floor, and the unmistakable signs that someone had been sleeping on the bed.


Blinking slowly, the imp turned around and wandered out of the room, rubbing at his now normal yellow eyes. He exited the backroom and entered the cafe, a murmured request of coffee sounding from him as he emerged from the back, only to have it freeze mid sentence. The cafe was as vacant and abandoned as a blockbuster video store.


"H-Hello?" The imp called out, getting no reply.

In the cafe, Eliana had fallen asleep at one of the tables, and Yan was spraying water everywhere, until he heard something, or rather, someone. He cocked his head at the sight of Oliver, then went up to him, and began sniffing the boy up and down. When he was done with this, he sat back, looking over Oliver.

Oliver started as a great beast suddenly ambled up to him, and his eyes went wide for a second, staring up at the scaly face of the dragon. At first, the thought occurred to him that he might still be asleep and dreaming, because surely, a dragon of all things wasn't supposed to be in the cafe. At least, he didn't think so. But then, he was startled out of his thoughts and in to what seemed to be reality when the creatures nose hit him in the stomach, hot steam escaping it's nostrils as it began to... smell him.


"Oi, lay off!" Oliver giggled, shoving against the lizards face, his mouth breaking into a grin, "You big brute."

Yan moved backwards, off of the imp. He then sent a spray of water from his mouth into Olivers face. After doing this, he pushed past Oliver, and behind the counter. He managed to open several cabinets, and then stuck his nose in them. He pulled out several ingredients, from the cabinets, and tossed them on the floor.

Oliver let out a yell as he was pelted with cold water, before running after the dragon, waving his hands over his head, his eyes wide as he saw it thrash it's way through the bar. "Hey!" He shouted, pushing the thing in the side, trying to get the dragon to move, "What do you think you're doing?"


The dragon didn't seem to care, and was quickly demolishing one expensive looking ingredient after another. Buckley would be pissed. "Stop!" The imp yelled, grabbing the dragon by the tail, trying to pull it backwards.

Ellie sighed, placing back another costume," Nope, nothings sticking out," she sighed in defeat. " I wish Akira or at least Maria was here, I'm horrible at this kind of thing," she pouted, picking up a pair of devil horns putting them on, turning to face Vinny smiling playfully," Hey maybe I could Be a devil, since I am basically dating one!" She giggled.

Vincent grinned and flicked the horns with his finger, "Nah," He laughed, "You're too adorable to fit the role."


The demon looked around, his eyes trailing all the different shelves. He had no idea what to dress up at either, and he sighed a little taking in all of the options.

Ellie pouted bumping him with her hip," Well maybe I'll dress up like you and be Vincent for a day," she dead panned,placing the horns back on a mannequin.

"Well, that would be an easy task," The demon teased, staring at her, his eyes flashing with amusement, "As you already have no qualms about taking my shirts."

Ellie stuck out her tongue, picking up a witch hat placing on Vinny's head." I wonder what Estelle's going as, she always has pretty cool costumes," Ellie thought out loud, looking throught the racks.

"Geronimo!" She squealed then climbed down the ladder and grabbed 3 different things. Angel wings, bunny ears and a traffic cone hat then with a deviant smile she ran over to ellie and shoved the wings in her hand, knocking the witch hat off then plopped the traffic cone on Vincent's face then put the bunny ears on Jun, "Ellie the angel, Vincent the traffic cone and Jun the bunny! Cute!" She squealed before pulling out her phone and taking a picture of the three with her phone.

Ellie looked down at the wings smiling," Maybe I could go as a angel, simple and sweet," she smiled.

Yan stopped tearing apart the bags he found, and turned on Oliver. He wrapped himself around the pile of debries he had been sorting through, and hissed at Oliver, sending scalding water at the imp. He went back to snuffling the stuff, and decided to eat some of it, looking reproachfully down at Oliver.

Vincent plucked the traffic cone from his head, looking over at Ellie wide-eyed, "Blasphemy!" He snapped, clapping his hands together dramatically, "Pure blasphemy!" before succumbing to the laughter bubbling up in his chest.


Oliver spluttered, spitting the water out of his mouth with a disgusted sneer. "You're crazy!" He told the dragon, crossing his arms over his chest with a pout, knowing that now that it 'claimed' it's pile of goodies, there was no chance in hell he was going to be able to move the beast, "Absolutely crazy! And fat!"
