Welcome to Gloom's wish-granting shop!
Need a new ability? Been dreaming about an enchanted item or weapon? Looking for some way to get character development? Trying to freshen up your character with some changes? This is the place for you!
Gloom's wish-granting shop is a magical creation made entirely by Gloom herself. The shop, which is also Miko's home, is, in appearance, a regular wooden house with two stories and numerous windows. In actuality, however, the shop is a magical construct situated in between dimensions. Due to its unusual location, the shop can appear anywhere, should someone require its services. Fueled chiefly by fate, the shop will appear to people who have strong wishes and disappear as suddenly as it appeared. Although it can appear in our world, the shop isn't really there and, once one has crossed the archway that leads to the building's front yard, they have changed planes without even realizing it. A stone path leads from the archway to the front door, with grass and an ancient well around it. Once inside, a small lantern-lit hallway leads to a vast waiting room with two wooden chairs and a table, large windows and decorated with a butterfly motif (the butterflies symbolize change). One of the waiting room's walls is actually a sliding panel, which opens to double the size of the room once Miko is ready to meet her client. When she is, she will sit at the table with them and discuss their desires (and their associated costs) until a compromise is reached. The price that comes with a wish being granted is of the utmost importance, since compensation is what allows for the cosmic balance not to be disturbed. The shop is filled with burning incense and candles, their constantly fluctuating smoke allowing Gloom to perform her traditional smoke readings whenever she desires. The waiting room is the only room that clients ever see, the rest of the house being Miko's private quarters. Once a wish-contract is done and the client leaves, the shop usually vanishes until it is needed again.
Other services
Gloom recently associated herself with her two fellow Ravens (see her page for more info on the Ravens) and welcomed the two sorceresses as providers of new services to her shop. The two associates, heroic and noble Arcana and cynical and ruthless Hecate, indeed joined forces with Gloom and each offer a new service of their own.
- As the owner of an enchanted deck of Tarot cards, Arcana offers divinatory readings of a great precision. Although free, the readings take place inside Gloom's shop, meaning that one has to be fated to have a reading to even perceive and enter the shop. Arcana's predictions are extremely accurate, even though one must take into account that the future might change as a result of her disclosing information or warnings.
- After making a sinister deal with an evil goddess and gaining great power, Hecate found she took great pleasure in corrupting mortals and taking advantage of their emotional weaknesses. For this reason, she decided to join her friend Gloom in her shop to sell various mystical paraphernalia of a dark nature. Hecate sells a great variety of shadowy items, such as voodoo dolls, enchanted athames, twisted love potions, etc. The magical objects Hecate sells are, in addition to being dark, quite potent, although they come at a price.
Rules
- Gloom will only meet one client at a time. If someone is currently in the shop, please wait until their wish is granted and they have left to enter.
- If a client in the process of getting their wish granted stops posting for a while and interrupts the flow of the shop/RPG, they will see their "storyline" postponed to allow others to use the shop.
- Wishes and their associated costs must be agreed upon before posting in here. To do so, either PM me or post in the OCC.
- Please remain in character while in this thread. For out of character comments or questions, use the OCC thread.
- If your wish concerns or involves another viner, be sure to let them know beforehand and see if they agree.
- Light god-modding is allowed in here, for the sake of simplicity. Clients can make Gloom talk in their dialogues or vice-versa, but nothing more.
May all your wishes... be granted.
