[wasthemaster]

But where is it?

[key_illusion]

It's at Aladdin's guild, but I also have some stored at my apartment.

[wasthemaster]

How convenient that you're close by then.

[key_illusion]

...Hmm. [Yeah, he's totally not going to lead you to his house, Draco.] Let's meet at your store then. Does that work?

[wasthemaster]

Absolutely. You know where it is, don't you?

[key_illusion]

Yeah, of course. I'll meet you there. [Which is why he's giving a wave and walking off after he pulls up his hood.]

[wasthemaster]

[Sure, ???. You walk, he'll just take flight.]

[key_illusion]

[???'s tracking Draco's mind on the way back, making sure he isn't being followed, but he's able to get home, pour some of the ink into a small container before he heads out to the potions shop.]

[wasthemaster]

[Once he arrives (if he arrives, because Draco's still a little incredulous), the door to the apothecary's unlocked and Draco's in the shop, rummaging through the stock for a sleeping potion. He's also looking for a charm, but won't offer such unless ??? asks.]

[key_illusion]

[Just going to walk in then, shutting the door behind him, and waiting--]

How much do you know about the runes, anyways?

[wasthemaster]

Very, very little to be honest. I've been meaning to do more research, but I've been wrapped up. How difficult can they be anyway?

[key_illusion]

Difficult enough that this place isn't filled with runic creations. [Sigh.] You'd think that people who are so eager to get their magic back would actually try to learn it.

[Just going to be setting out the paper, a paintbrush, and a small bottle of silvery ink on the nearest flat surface.]

[wasthemaster]

Some of us are eager about other prospects, that's all. [And he's watching him like a hawk.]

[key_illusion]

Heh, that or people just like to complain. [After dipping the paintbrush into the ink, ??? begins slowly writing out the array for him to watch. It doesn't take too long, but we he's finally done he holds out the brush to Draco.]

Got it?

[wasthemaster]

["If only because it's easiest to complain sometimes. When I complained, I got my way quite a bit. Too bad that hasn't worked out here." He's still monitoring very, very closely before he takes the brush...and stares at it. In theory, yes, he gets it.] It's really that simple?

[key_illusion]

[Oh, such a spoiled brat. ???'s trying to not laugh, but he can't help it when Draco asks. At least it can be interpreted as the topic:]

Hah. Yeah, it's really that simple as long as you get the combination right. That's why I've been wondering why more people haven't picked it up.

[wasthemaster]

Generally people seem to avoid the easy route despite the fact that's entirely backwards. ["After all, how often have I made things completely overcomplicated?"]

[key_illusion]

True, I've done that a few times here. [Things can't be easy in the end.

But ???'s picking up his copy of the array, holding it for a second as he focuses on an image, and the runes glow until a picture develops on the other side.]

[wasthemaster]

[He's still monitoring closely.] ...it's almost like a cheaper form of magic. It's interesting.

[key_illusion]

[HTML fail at the top, but this picture was supposed to appear.]

Not exactly what I'm used to either, but it's still fun to work with.

[wasthemaster]

So where is this anyway?

[key_illusion]

...Destiny Islands. It's an important place for people from my world. Riku, Sora, and Kairi grew up playing there.

[wasthemaster]

It looks so...quaint.

[key_illusion]

Appearances can be deceiving. [Since it was BASICALLY the stage for the beginning of the end for all the worlds.] But for the most part, it's pretty nice. I wished I could go there at times.

[Both in the datascape and in the real world.]

[wasthemaster]

["Truer words have never been spoken."] Looks nice. Maybe I'll add it to my list of places to go if I can get the portal open.
