nexus_sages | Trixie's lucky day? (Aka +1 unicorn XD)

That right there sure would be a unicorn with a bright azure blue coat and cornflower blue mane, trotting right out of nowhere into the forum. The thing that she's pulling, looks like a combination of a cart, storefront and small house behind her... It's not a huge wagon by any means, but one gets the feeling that there is more to it than a first glance would have you believe...

Trixie decreased her speed from a canter, to a trot, and finally a full stop as she looked around the area with a puzzled, but also surprised, look on her face. "Hmmm... Well, this is new..." It didn't take her long to spot what she thought had to be the ugliest sign she'd ever seen, and shortly there after, the 'Welcome to the Nexus' brochure. "Nexus?"

Floating the pamphlet over using magic, she started to read it, and looked quite intrigued by the information. "Interesting... I wonder..."

Clearing her throat, she looked around and asked "Could anyone please tell me what the local currency here is?" She paused and considered things a moment. "Also, do I need a permit to sell items here?"

Well, why not? It's not like she had any urgent business anywhere, any chance to for her to gain knowledge, new items and perhaps sell some of her wares, it would be stupidity of the highest order to let an opportunity like this pass her by.

Khajiit rarely laugh in mixed company; something about the hissing quality of the sound leads to a number of misunderstandings. But her expression betrays her true feelings of amusement, however strange the sound.

There are many things about Tamriel that Trixie truly does not want to explore. They make daggers that weigh more than cinderblocks. They gave up magic that let them fly. They are a strange, confused people when it comes to concepts like gravity and weight.

Ravari purrs her approval at the understanding. "Indeed, that is quite what I meant. And I think, perhaps, if we feel generous, it might be fruitful for some of the other alchemists I know here. One, I believe, lives here permanently; she would be able to keep watch over any gardens we might choose to plant, yes?"

Trixie startles a bit at Ravari's laugh, but settles near instantly, hoping she'd not caused offense. She's not afraid or even wary, she was merely startled by the new sound.

"That might be something to consider. It would certainly make ingredient gathering much easier for all involved... perhaps even profitable if there are many magic users here..." She shakes her head to get herself out of her little thought world.

"I think however, that is something for us to consider later. First I must get myself sorted and figure out if I can travel freely between my own world and here... along with any time distortions that may be involved..." She likes the idea of course, but one had to walk before they could trot.

There will be many things to startle them both. Ravari takes no offense at being one of them sometimes.

"Yes, it is a project for the future. But perhaps it is good to keep in mind now, in case a good deal comes along? To have a goal to work towards can be pleasant and productive." Ravari's in no rush, but if a good opportunity comes along, she likes to be ready to pounce. In this place, opportunity is often fleeting.

"The arch-mage and his apprentice both practice alchemy. There is a powerful mage of some foreign magic I do not understand here as well. And there have been others who have passed through as well."

Trixie nods her head in agreement. "Of course. It is great to have a goal, but at the same time I do not wish to divide my attentions too far." The problem is that there may be a good opportunity ruined by improper planning and inability to tend it properly. She'd rather pass on something and let someone else make something of it, than ruin it for others.

When Ravari mentions more magic users, she'll likely be able to tell Trixie is interested. "I should find somewhere to stock up on ink, quills and blank books perhaps? I'm not a clairvoyant... but believe I can foresee a lot of spell and recipe trading..."

"That is also wise. If you intend to make a study of magic here, that will be most time-consuming. I believe you shall have no trouble meeting them, the promise of good commerce often draws them out."

And, speaking of, Ravari looks past Trixie briefly. "Do you intend to set up shop today?"

"As much as I wish to set up shop today, I fear it will be a day or two before I am able." She sighs a little. "I'm afraid the sudden trip here may have destabled some of my enchantments on my cart. I have to check everything first, as I do not particularly wish to loose everything should they fail..."

It was one of the pitfalls of having a heavily enchanted space. As long as it was stable, it was great... but with everything she had in there that was contained in such a small space... Trixie did not want an explosion on her hooves. At least the locket she had enchanted came through unscathed. That meant she had access to a few things in the meantime, like 'bits', her master journal and a few gems, along with some odds and ends.

She's disappointed, but she can't blame Trixie for being careful. Unstable magic is frightening at the best of times.

"Ah, that is understandable. I shall leave you to it and wish you luck, and perhaps in a few days we shall meet again under more favorable circumstances?"

"Thank you. It was wonderful to meet you and I hope to see you again sometime..." Trixie is smiling brightly and is looking forward to getting another chance to speak to the Khajiit.

"Please feel free to come seek me out in a few days? I will likely not stray from my cart for a while once I've started to set things up, but I would welcome the chance to speak to you again."

"I, too, look forward to speaking again. I shall seek you out again soon," she promises. "I have a feeling it will not be hard to find directions to your camp, once you've chosen one." People will remember the blue unicorn with the big cart. Being so unique in a place like this will be a big boon to Trixie when she opens her shop--so long as she can handle some people coming to gawk at her as much as checking her wares.

"From what I've seen so far... I believe that to be a safe bet." She chuckles, but it has a nervous undertone. Trixie wasn't fond of being the center of attention, but she'd put up with it... as long as she didn't have to preform on a stage or something...
