Caelum & Infernus: The Darkness Of The World

OOC: I am just rolling with it. But you are saying *Richus*, I want to confirm Ellegant serenity that you Meant *Richus* and Not *Patches*

Richus follows patches into the tent comfortably

As Richus hears her offer food, he will respond with a small almost imperceptible smile, as well as a soft and polite "Yes please food sounds wonderful."

He looks to see if there is not enough chairs at the table he will summon some forth from the ground and sit on one of the new chairs, making a rather lazy looking dirt stump and large steel backrest, but it is of course covered up with an ephemeral cushion summoned forth from who knows where..

He will wait patiently for tea, dinner, and communication, But he will stare at *Kio* for a moment when he was looking to see if there were enough chairs.

OOC: So Kio is an eldritch abomination, and it just so happens that Richus uses a bit of Eldritch abomination type magic, In fact that is a specific magic form he stores some of his magic in. If you want *Kio* to kind of resonate magically with Richus magic I think that would be reasonable, but I would only use it if you have a need to or some cool plot thing or character interaction. He is looking at you curiously because he does actually note that he is able to draw a natural source of said magic, something he has always had to create.

Also of note, he is not drawing the magic from you, he simply absorbs the magic cast off of everything, and he can tell it is from you simply because of your proximity.

 

As Kio slipped into the tent behind the group of people she felt something odd come over her. It was an aura of something else like herself and it drew some of her essence over towards it in communion. She looked and saw that the aura was coming from a man that had taken a seat on a plain chair with an extravagant pillow to cushion it.

Her curiosity drew her to the man and she said something in her language, something akin to, "Grrshalufna," and would likely cause mild head aches and queasiness to those who heard it. When no immediate response came from the aura, she switched to the language picked out from the memories of her food.

"What is tea?"

 

Richus listened as the girl said the words "Grrshalufna". He showed no signs of any headache or discomfort, but he also had no response prepared.

His look is inquisitive as he stares at you, He blinks twice and you could swear you could hear the rattling of shutters. Physically addressing you with words, his attention completely undivided. "Tea is a beverage made from various ingredients, most notably and almost always tea ingredients include hot water, and leaves from various plants, and occasionally fruit rinds and juices." As he says this, his words are not common fare, there is a power flowing through them.

The words by no means match "Grrshalufna" in information but they would quite literally rattle the bones of any human targeted (which there are none). (Because nothing says friendliness like the power to shake apart a human body with words)

Depending on if you choose, you can receive and understand a psychic message, of "I do not know your language But I recognize you."

His attention breaks as he finishes the sentence and he returns to aligning his table wear properly. Seemingly as though nothing happened

OOC: The words simply recreate the feeling that was produced by "Grrshalufna" and maybe amped up a bit. It obviously would not harm Kio, but if it was an average human of 14 years it might have killed them.

 

OOC: I'm using the sanity system in the Cthulhu fiction universe where the eldritch beings cause a lot of problems simply just by existing or showing their true forms and language.

Kio tilts her head as the man speaks to her. His words are not the same but she feels the presence of her kind's power in them. As the man busies himself with the table arrangements Kio seats herself nearby awaiting the "Tea."

 

Patches crouched down in front Kio, so that he was eye to eye with her.
"My, aren't we a strange one." he said, producing a biscuit seemingly out of thin air. "Hungry?"
He glanced over to the others quickly. "Do make yourself comfortable. I'll explain everything when everyone's here."

 

"I'm not with her! I don't even know who she is!" Melt was practically howling in the distance as he ran over to catch up.
"Dumbass."

(TIME SKIP)

Melt studied Kio curiously, and as he looked around to understand everything that was going on. Theiyll was in the form of a mongoose, winding around everyone's angles as he checked the place out.
"Classy digs. Nice hired help. What do you mean, everyone?"

 

Kio took the biscuit and bit it experimentally, then ate it in one bite. As Isabelle set the bowl of soup before her, Kio put a finger in to test the broth. Watching Isabelle, Kio picked the bowl up and sipped it. As the furry mongoose wrapped around her legs, Kio probed its side with a tentacle from her leg, tasting it with a lick.

 

The man continued to smile as he sat, cross-legged, on the ground.
He reached over to the table and took one of the cups of tea that sat upon it, before lifting it up to his lips to take a sip.
The cup lowered and Patches took a moment to savour the taste.
"Ah, a perfect blend as usual, my dear." He looked over the over the cup and down at the mongoose that the strange girl was propping with a tentacle.
"His lady friend, of course. I expect her to be here any minute now."

 

As you talk he stops moving the biscuit towards his mouth immediately, and he turns his head up to look into your eyes. ( assumedly you are looking at him when you ask. It is of note if some one talks to him at all he will most likely make direct eye contact with them as they speak.)

Without missing a beat he says In a "My name is Richus, The Magis Magician"

His face turns towards his left where Kio was sitting, and he stares for a moment.

 

It looked up at the woman and pondered the question. After a few moments they pointed at the bowl in front of them and said, “Tea.”

 

*Shrugs and drinks the drink that was brought to him* "This is some fine tea"
