I never did a long thing about scrimshaw, so it’s time! At 1 am, apparently.

I think scrimshaw is one of the most fascinating material goods to emerge from the history of the American whaling industry (which is the context I’m discussing here, though of course the artform exists across numerous eras and cultures outside this brief blip of nautical history).

It’s one way to see amatuer art that usually doesn’t often survive in other forms. To see the art project of an ordinary man who was bored and needed something to do with his hands. Others were highly skilled craftsman, creating intricate engravings or mechanically expert tools. The most common scrimshaw was images etched on sperm whale teeth. Sometimes those images came from the maker’s own imagination and sometimes they were copied illustrations. Ships & whaling scenes, women, mythical figures, and patriotic symbols make up the bulk of the visual language in those pieces that survive.

But alongside the teeth were all a manner of carved items: canes, candle holders, pie crimpers, children’s toys, sewing boxes, yarn swifts, corset busks. So much bone fashioned into quiet little homegoods. And it’s that contradiction within scrimshaw that fascinates me. The brutality of the industry, this ivory from an animal that frankly died terribly, that’s then softened into a little domestic item. An object that could have hours to years of work put into it. Some were made to be sold but many were made as gifts. In the long stretches of boredom at sea, in the lull between back-breaking work and life-threatening terror, scrimshaw gives a window into where the minds of these men continually turned. It shows where their hearts were and what they were holding on to over all the years they spent adrift in saltwater and blood and oil. That’s the poetry I see in scrimshaw. Pain and love and longing and creativity and playfulness all bound together in these complicated little pieces that found their way out of the hands of their anonymous makers to preserve a small part of their story.

Some scrimshanders names are known. Frederick Myrick is one of the most well known American whalers, not so much for the scope of his life (of which little is known) but for his scrimshaw. Born in Nantucket in 1808, he first went whaling in 1825 on the Columbus and then again on the Susan 1826-29. In the last few months aboard the Susan, Myrick engraved over 30 sperm whale teeth, all depicting the ship he was on (though there are a handful that depict other vessels). He signed and dated nearly each one. These pieces are often referred to as ‘Susan’s Teeth’ now, and when one comes up at auction it’s not unusual for it to sell for six figures.

Many of the teeth Myrick scrimshawed included an inscribed couplet of his devising: A dark wish for luck that succinctly gets at the violent and unstable heart of American whaling.

“Death to the living, long life to the killers Success to sailor’s wives, and greasy luck to whalers”

Sometimes large scenes were etched on panbones as well.

Moving from scrimshaw on teeth and jawbones, pie crimpers are some of the more common sculptural items. Popular motifs included animals (dogs, snakes, and unicorns/hippocampus are big), body parts (mostly clenched fists or lady’s legs), and geometric designs.

Others were more mechanically complicated, such as automatons and children’s toys with moving parts and gears. Here’s one of a small rocking sailboat, perhaps made for someone’s child or younger sibling.

Sometimes a particular creative fellow created something more eccentric, like this wild writing desk kit fashioned out of a carved panbone and sperm whale teeth.

Another frequently scrimshawed object was a corset busk that would be slid into the front of the garment in order to maintain the posture. A rather private item compared to others. And one with a very on-the-nose message of wearing close to one’s heart the memory of someone who’d be gone for 3-4 years, who might never come home again. On some level, so many of these daily objects whispered ‘forget me not’, ‘think of me while I’m gone’. 

There’s something tender to all the various domestic items that were fashioned on the job so long and far from home, but it’s the yarn swifts that really captivate me. They were one of the most complicated pieces of scrimshaw to make, with over one hundred different pieces that would have to be carved. It could take someone the length of the voyage (2-4 years) to complete a single one. Unlike teeth which were comparatively very quick to make and were frequently intended to be sold, it’s very unlikely that a swift was made with the aim of selling it because of the significant labor that went into it. They were almost certainly all gifts, and very special ones at that. Every time I see one I can just feel the love towards its intended recipient radiating off of it.

Scrimshaw captures a specific snapshot of a moment in time. On a broader scale it’s a surviving reminder of a bloody industry that flared up and winked out, preserved in the form of a long-lost ship and the spout of a long-dead whale inked on a yellowing tooth. But that snapshot also reveals the emotional world of the men who were caught up in such an industry: what they valued, what they thought about, what they missed, and what they wanted to be remembered of them.

5, 10, 11, 16, and 19 for Pomene!

5. How far is your OC willing to go to get what they want?

weeeeell she already crosses multiple lines--against others and against herself-- just to operate as she's expected to; shes been molded basically since she was hatched to be downright invasive and betraying specifically toward her own ruthless caste. so its not much of a stretch for her to go to those same bloody and cruel lengths for her own aims.

what is complicated with her character though is that the idea of "getting what she wants" has been foreign to her for the bulk of her life, so "getting what she wants" has mostly meant changing the idea of what she wants into something that can be achieved through her sanctioned cruelty. what she really wants deep down has had to be suppressed and obscured and that has manifested in a "desire" to hurt herself and others. and ultimately, she finds herself ready to break the world itself to do this.

there are certain lines that she won't cross, even at her worst, but they're situational and few and far between. (the closer you get to her, the more likely there are to be lines that she wont cross but some still very much will be. being evil and rotten is her love language)

10. What's an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC?

i cannot think of anything serious so im going to say grocery store au where its the most psychologically unnerving grocery store in the world. so naturally this would be a gentrification organic whole foods chain type store. i dont think she'd work there. but she is just drawn to the miserable aura and feels the call to haunt the fluorescent and unfeeling aisles

11. What is your OC's weapon of choice? Have they ever actually used it?

any bludgeoning weapon. her preference is more for makeshift, 'grab this random item and make it so' type weapons over something like a bat/club/baton that is meant to be used as a weapon. typically, this has been a huge and hefty pillar-like candle holder that she lifts to bash in a head but she can swing it as well.

she Has used it. its kind of her job

16. What is your OC's pain tolerance like?

(this is just her life and she is fine with it. i promise)

pomene's pain threshold is on the lower end but her tolerance is significantly higher through training. basically, you can hurt her but she typically wont react unless you're like. at torture level. it is possible to surprise her with lesser pain though (even if shes not reacting directly to the pain itself), since she's used to having the upper hand. the same applies emotionally.

19. How does your OC behave when enraged?

she has a flattened affect, so rage doesnt really translate to physical expression in expected ways. her rage also tends to mutate into wishy washier feelings. in these cases, she externally appears composed but internally is planning retribution. real, visceral rage is a difficult emotion for her to access and only really occurs once she is pushed to the very last of her limits.

her rage and her pain and her blood are one and the same, intertwined, and she literally lets it consume her and turn her into a monstrous abomination--she is the "revelation", the "whore" and the "beast" in one and the seven trumpets are her droning vengeful cries. i hope this helps <3

Ash

Mehdi perched on a pillow, legs crossed with an expanse of scrolls spread before him. Memorizing the history of both his kin and his Gods was a weighty task but his mind was up for the challenge. Already he could recite the bulk of it, from when Fatiha breathed life into the earth and suckled man upon her teat to recent history with the many wars over fertile land. History still remained his least favorite subject but the role of a sage left no room for complaint.

"Mehdi! Mehdi, my son!"

He raised his head, his expression as neutral as always as his mother panted across the floor of the temple. Aicha bowed her head with a frustrated look, silently begging her son to do the same.

"Mehdi, this is our lord Saad," Aicha readjusted her shawl as she introduced the older man she had in tow. "He is traveling through our lands and wanted a prediction--"

"From sea to sea, word has spread of a great sage," Lord Saad cut in. His hawkish nose suited his beady eyes and bushy brow. "A great sage less than 20 with hair like the clouds and eyes darker than oil. This is you?"

"The one, sire," Mehdi rose and bowed deeply at the waist. "A prediction is what you seek?"

"Yes. I must know what weather to expect as I take my men home from conquest. We wish to sail the great sea through the Dusk Archipelago which is notorious for its rough waters. What can your eyes touched by the Gods see?"

Mehdi paused, looking the man up and down. Clearly he had great wealth, bedecked in all manner of jewel and gold. The sage pondered instead the lord's men who must be weary from battle and eager to see their homes once more. Bending down to put away his reading, Mehdi gave him an easy smile.

"Come, sire. I shall do a reading."

+++

Gliding across polished tile, Mehdi lead Lord Saad to the incense room. Rows upon rows of shelves boasted all manners of cone and stick, all with their unique smells to suit their unique properties. Mehdi gathered a bundle; salt, turmeric, and birch. He sat in the center of the room, alighting the three sticks in their holders. He gestured with an open palm for Saad to sit.

"Oh, my mighty Gods," Mehdi recited, pressing his hands together under his chin and closing his eyes. "Oh, you, my king Ikram. I seek this man's fate. Open my mortal eyes to the Spirit's Plane. Lay it bare before me."

Each stick of incense was burned to ash in an instant and the air in the room was gone. Saad coughed, eyes squinching up at the sensation. He watched in awe as Mehdi's irises turned a bright turquoise. The scented smoke billowed about the room, collecting around Mehdi before being dispelled by a might gust of wind. The candles lit through the room extinguished.

A beat of silence.

"Lord Saad," Mehdi's voice was still his own but a firmness reverberated through it. "You will find solace in your travels to the shore. Upon sailing the seas, your ship will smash against the frightening rocks of Dusk. Your fate is death, for you and your men. Sail three day's south instead and you will be welcomed by easy waters. Your journey will end on time, unscathed."

Normalcy returned to the room and whatever oppressive presence had presided vanished. Saad sucked in a greedy gulp of air while Mehdi watched. His gaze was warm and his demeanor was casual.

"They say your... Accuracy rate is 96%," Saad gasped, clutching his robes over his heart. "Is this.... Proven mathematical fact?"

"Yes, my lord."

Saad clasped his hands together and bowed, his furrow brow pressing against the cool tile beneath him. 

"Thank you, oh great sage," He prayed, bowing again and again. "My people will not forget your wisdom."

"All is as the Gods will," Mehdi droned. A little smile slowly crossed his lips and he huffed through his nose. "And as my powers see it. May Ikram show you mercy."

"Yes, great sage, a thousand thank you's, great sage."

Saad rose and did his best to scuttle with dignity. Mehdi watched until the swish of his robes disappeared down a corner. Dragging his finger through a speck of ash, Mehdi let out a soft chuckle. 

He felt a glimmer of pride settle in his chest.

Silver Part Three

Previous // Next // Master List

The drive back to my apartment was uneventful, save for Alphus’ taste in music. It was some indie station, and between the music, it was advertising some kind of Woodstock reboot in July, in New York. I turned to Alphus. “Can we listen to something else?” I asked in a half-joking manner.

“What?” he asked.

“I just expected a centuries old construct to have a more refined music taste.” He laughed.

“Not all of us can get by on Mozart and mid 1950’s Jazz.”

“You leave Jazz Abroad out of this,” I said as we pulled into the parking lot in front of our unit. “It didn’t do anything to you.” He laughed, and we got out of the car. The smell hit me. Mrs.Kinnian from 3C was making her apple turnovers again. Alphus leaned on the roof of the car, my old Plymouth creaking under his bulk. 

“Smells like Mrs.K wants something from you again,” he said. I waved at Mrs.Kinnian through her window, returning the warm smile that she gave me.

“Why do you say that?”

“She and Mr.K don’t like apple turnovers. But you do.” I patted my stomach. I started towards her door.

“I might as well see what she wants then.”

“Silver, we’ve got our plate full.”

“And it’s about to be more full,” I said as I approached her door, across the hall from mine. “With apple turnovers.” I knocked on the door. Alphus sighed. “We’ll see what she wants and take some baked goods. That’s all.”

“We don’t have time for this.” Mrs.Kinnian opened the door. She was a tiny old lady, with frazzled white hair that blew up around her head like a frizzy halo, and glasses thick enough to stop bullets. The smell of cinnamon, apples, and chocolate blasted out the hall past her, and my stomach growled. She smiled at me.

“Well hello there silver,” she said, with the kind of affection that only a grandparent could give. Damn. I really was going to end up doing a favor for her, wasn’t I? She looked up at Alphus. “Hello, Martin,” she said, and smiled at him too.

“Hello, Dora,” he said, and I could hear that his resolve was weakening.

“Won’t you come inside for some baked goods and coffee?”

“Actually,” Alphus said, putting a heavy hand on my shoulder, “we just wanted to check in on you. We need to get to some other business we have.” 

“Oh you two can’t even take some of them off my hands?” She stepped aside, and her old, spoiled beagle wheezed his way over to me. I crouched and pet him.

“Unfortunately not,” Alphus said. “We’d have to take them to go.” The beagle, Mr.Whitmus, started licking my hands.

“Oh are you sure dear? I made those gooey fudge cookies you love, and you know they’re best warm.”

“Well, I- uh,” he hesitated, and I smiled, knowing we had him. “Okay,” he said. “Just a few minutes though.”

“Of course, dear,” she said. I stood up, and she led the both of us inside. On the walls of her entrance hall were pictures of her and Mr.Kinnian, a heavyset, kind man with dark skin and a bushy mustache. Her carpeting was plush, as was her furniture. She had a thick, orange and green floral couch, a padded rocking chair with purple cushions, and a gray loveseat. All of this around a dark wooden coffee table with an unsullied finish. The orange face of Garfield smiled at us from a set of four coasters set around a metal bowl full of multicolored stones that doubled as a candle holder. She shuffled off to the kitchen, and both Alphus and I took a seat on the couch. Alphus glanced at the T.V, which was playing a rerun of Jeopardy.

“What the fuck are you doing?” Alphus hissed.

“What do you mean?” I asked, doing my best to sound innocent.

“We have other shit we have to do, and-”

“Are you sure that I can’t get the two of you any coffee?”

“I’m good, thank you,” Alphus said, doing his best to hide his irritation.

“Just some tea for me, please,” I said. “I’m sure that Martin would love a cup, he’s just being polite.”

“What the-”

“Oh, he should know better than to be polite in this household!” Dora laughed, cutting Alphus off. Alphus groaned, and rested his forehead in his hands.

“No sugar, please,” he said, defeated.

“I’ll take some,” I said. A few minutes passed quietly, Alphus occasionally muttering the trivia that contestants on Jeopardy missed under his breath. Eventually, Dora brought us each a plate with our baked goods of choice, and our tea.

“Won’t you have any?” Alphus asked.

“I already had some,” she said. We all made small talk for a little while, which helped to ease the tension that had been growing in my neck since I woke up that morning. Well, it was more of the night before, but that didn’t seem relevant. Mr.Whitmus climbed into my lap. He was a heavy boy, but incredibly soft. At some point, Alphus leaned his head back, closing his eyes. He didn’t need to sleep, but he still needed to enter a sort of trance to regain his energy, where he sort of stopped paying attention to the world around him. I’m still not quite sure how it all works. I’m not a flesh-smith. “Silver,” she finally said after I finished my tea. “I need to ask you a favor.” I looked up from Mr.Whitmus, who I had been showering with belly rubs.

“What’s the favor?”

“Well I,” she hesitated, glancing out the window behind me. “I don’t rightly know.” I raised an eyebrow, and leaned forward as much as I could with a thirty pound beagle in my lap. She leaned in as well. “I think it might’ve had to do with your kind of folk.”

“What do you mean by that?” I asked, unsure if she meant gay people or practitioners.

“Folks of a magical persuasion,” she whispered, as though we were sharing a conspiracy. Most of the people in our complex were clued in on the supernatural, having had a severe haunting a few years prior, and some of the residents themselves being inhuman beings.

“What did you see?”

“Well I saw it outside, last night,” she said, and looked out her window again. “It was tall, taller than a person, and nothing but skin or bone,” a chill ran up my spine, and Alphus snapped out of his trance, his eyes fixing on her with razor focus. She balked. “Maybe I didn’t see-” Alphus shook his head.

“Please continue,” he said, “it’s important.” She nodded.

“It was so fast, I wasn’t sure what I was looking at.” I stood up, Mr.Whitmus hopping to the ground. Why hadn’t my wards alerted me the moment a feaster entered the complex? “It ran into the woods there,” she said, and gestured to the patch of woods across from the apartment complex. That was bad. I knew that a few families had houses on the other side of the woods, not to mention the people living in the woods themselves. “What should I do?” Alphus paced to the window, looking outside.

“First, get inside as soon as the sun goes down. Stay there. It might be a good idea for Harold to stay home too.” I glanced around her living room. “Do you have anything that’s made of Silver? Genuine, authentic silver. Sterling will do, but the purer the better.”

“I have my mother’s old set,” she said, and walked to a cabinet with glass doors. She opened it, and took out the silverware set, which sat below what I assumed was a picture of her mother. She handed it to me. I took a piece out, and tried to run Arcane Energy through it. It didn’t work.

“This is perfect,” I said. I set some on the windowsill, touching the window.

“Put the silverware by each window, and on the internal lining of the door. Tell the others I said to do the same if they can.” I glanced outside again. It was still bright out, but the sun was slowly beginning to set. About three hours until dark. “I have something else I need to do tonight, but the silver will keep it out.”

“What should I do if it shows up again?”

“It won’t be able to get in, but if something happens and it does, my door will be unlocked. Lucille will be home. She can handle it.” She nodded. She was shaking, clearly afraid. I hugged her. “It’ll be okay,” I said. She nodded. “I have to go handle something else, and then I promise I’ll take care of this.”

“Okay.” I let her go, and walked towards her door.

“I’ll see you tomorrow.” I left her apartment, and glanced at Alphus.

“Still think it can wait?” I asked.

“Yeah, yeah. Why didn’t your wards pick up on an Outsider?”

“No idea,” I said, and opened our apartment. The smell of incense and old candles wafted out, mingling with the smell of Mrs.K’s baked goods. I paused. There was nothing else. Normally static washed over my skin when I walked inside, a side effect of my wards. Alphus bumped into me.

“Why’d you stop?” he asked.

“They’re fucking gone,” I said.

“What?”

“My wards, they’re gone.” Alphus swore in a language I didn’t understand, shoved me behind him, and drew his handgun. “Lucille,” I called, “is everything okay?”

“Peachy,” she called.

“Boxers or briefs?” Alphus asked.

“Boxer-Briefs,” she said. “Crunchy or creamy?”

“I prefer Hazelnut Spread,” I said. Alphus put the gun away. Lucille stepped out of the kitchen. She was frowning. She wore jeans and a T-shirt, and a scar worked its way down the left side of her face, from just above her brow down to her throat.

“Why the interrogation?” she asked. Alphus and I stepped inside, and I closed the door.

“My wards are down,” I said. She blinked.

“How?” she asked.

“I don’t know,” I said.

“I’m taking a look around outside,” Alphus said. “Stay here.”

“Okay,” I said. Alphus left, looking more nervous than I had seen him in a long time.

“What happened?” Lucille asked.

“A lot,” I said. “I’ll tell you over dinner. What are we having?”

“I’m making shrimp fried rice,” she said. I nodded. “Go sit down, I’ll bring you a bowl.” 

“Thanks,” I said, and sat down in the living room by the front door. Where Dora’s furniture was pristine, practically untouched, ours was scavenged from yard sales and thrift shops. Our futon had been patched with various different types of cloth, and Alphus’ big chair leaked stuffing from the various holes he hadn’t been able to patch yet. He didn’t let anyone else touch it. Our coffee table had been torn up by Lucille’s cat, Boomstick, and the surface was cratered with cup rings. We’d spent most of our furnishing budget on the TV, which took up a good chunk of the wall opposite the futon, and Lucille’s PlayStation sat under it, with a few scattered games. Boomstick joined me, and I scratched behind the large orange cat’s ears. He purred like an engine, and flopped over on my lap. He batted at my hands as I reached for the remote, flipping on some nature documentary. I heard Lucille start cooking, and closed my eyes. After a few minutes, she was nudging me, holding out a bowl.

“Eat up,” she said. I took the fried rice and put it down, and she walked to the kitchen, coming back with her bowl, and a beer for each of us. I tapped my beer to hers, and she took a long drink from it. She had dark skin, and as a lycanthrope, her features were just on the human side of the uncanny valley. “So what happened?” she finally asked.

“Well, I got a call around 10 AM from Seattle’s finest,” I said. “They had a body they wanted me to look at, and a ritual.” I took a bite of the fried rice. It was divine, the fattiness and saltiness being exactly what I needed. 

“Was it something real?” she asked.

“Oh yeah,” I said. “A little too real, actually,” I said. The door opened, and Alphus stepped in, closing the door behind him.

“Oh, sweet, fried rice,” he said, and walked to the kitchen.

“Find anything?” I asked him.

“No,” he said. “Footprints look like a feaster, but that doesn’t explain the wards.” He left the kitchen, and walked to his chair with a beer and his food. “Thanks for dinner, Lucille.”

“Of course,” she said. “So the scene was a bit too real?” she asked.

“Yeah. So I called the C.O.D in, met the replacements.”

“We knew you would at some point. Can’t leave the post empty.” I nodded in agreement.

“Yeah.” I took another bite. “So, after that fun scene, I head to Marcilla’s because she had something for me. Come to find out one of her guys was killed-”

“The packs didn’t-”

“Have anything to do with it, I know,” I said, and waved my hand at her. I thought back on the scene, and my stomach twisted as I remembered the Arcane pollution. The taste of blood. The way the energy was alive. That skittering. Thing. “I know,” I said again. 

“That bad?”

“Yeah,” Alphus and I said at the same time. I shook my head with disgust. “Then I come home and find my wards are dead, and there’s a feaster running around.” I finished my rice, and got up. “I need to go start my Steel-Soul and God’s Tears.” I put my bowl in the sink, and leaned against the hallway wall, looking at her.

“Are you heading out again tonight?” Lucille asked.

“Yeah,” I said, “I have to appease a revenant.” She clicked her tongue sympathetically. 

“Sounds like you have your hands full.”

“I do.” She met my eyes, thinking for a moment.

“You know, I can’t close the Third Gate for you,”

“I know.” I crossed my arms.

“The pack and I could hunt that feaster down for you, though.” I thought for a moment. She and the rest of her pack were shifters, unaffected by the phases of the moon, so they wouldn’t be weakened by it starting to wane. Additionally, I’d be too busy to handle it that night. Finally, and most importantly, I knew that whatever I said, she would go hunt it anyways.

“Sure,” I eventually said. “It’s not like it can infect you. Just be careful.” She nodded, and it was clear that I had passed some kind of test.

“I always am.” I chuckled as I turned away from her, and made my way to my work room. I put my hand on the door, and sent a pulse of energy through it. The door slid open, and I sighed with relief. The room was almost as large as my apartment on its own. I stepped in, and the door closed behind me. I was met with the hum of Arcane Energy, and I glanced around at the runes. The extradimensional space was holding, the place seemingly unaffected by whatever had disabled my wards. I let out a sigh, and took in the smell of the herbs I grew there. I had shaped the extradimensional void into a vague facsimile of an antique study, complete with a perpetually  roaring fireplace and heavy bookshelves. My summoning circle was untouched, which I took as another good sign. The easiest way for Outsiders to intrude on a Practitioner's home was through the summoning circle. The only permanent etching was the circle itself, and the protective hieroglyphs around it. It was at the end of the room, in front of the fireplace. A plush chair sat in the circle, a small olive branch I offered to anything I summoned. If I called you, I’d do my damndest to make sure you were comfortable. In the spaces between bookshelves and cabinets, I had placed planters, growing various herbs and mushrooms that I needed for alchemy. Small orbs of light hung above them. Along the center of the room was a series of six burners, each with a clean flask. In the middle was a well, which tapped into somewhere in the Beyond to conjure water within it. I got to work. I was out of powdered Drake Bone for the Steel-Soul, so I had to make do with just the God’s Tears. It had the unfortunate scent of rotten straw. While the potion was simmering, I visited my cabinet again, grabbing my bag, and loading it with Silver Powder, Crushed Quartz, Golden Thread, a vial of Fool Moon water, and my silver dagger. The dagger was a gift from my teacher, keeper Durello. It was a Pugio, the word Custos etched on the blade, as a statement of office. I left my athame behind. I wouldn’t need to open any gates. I grabbed the staff I had been working on. A focus isn’t necessary for working with the Arcane, but it helps, especially when you have to do it quickly and dirty. I tend not to use one unless necessary, because it draws attention. This one was specifically made of Ash Wood, to help ground and redirect hostile energies. I had worked three copper rings, the metal of the First Gate, around the bottom, etched with protective runes, to capture and hold energies. I had wrapped the staff in strips of Birch for further protection, simply burning “shield” into each strip in various languages. It was coming along well, but I still needed to affix a head to it. I wasn’t sure if I would go with a band, an orb, or an animal head. I put it aside once I had wrapped the eight strips around it, one for each Gate. I decided that I would have the head made of obsidian, as its connection to the void made it ideal to absorb energies. I put it back in the cabinet, and bottled the potion. God’s Tears was used to numb pain and raise resilience. I only made one bottle, as potions would be useless for Alphus, then cleaned up and left. By then, two hours had passed.

“Welcome back,” Alphus said from his room. It was a cluttered sort of den, with various weapons that he had collected over the centuries. “I grabbed my sword, and loaded up on silver bullets.”

“Here’s hoping we won’t need them,” I said. 

“I’ll drink to that.” He got up, and pulled a long coat over himself. “Lucille went out with the pack already. What do we do if Mrs.K needs to get in and get protected?” I sighed. I’d forgotten about that.

“We could ask Alex.” I sighed, and nodded.

“I’ll do it, yeah.” I walked over to the phone, and dialed for Alex. It rang twice, and he picked up.

“Heya Silv, wassup?” I heard Beethoven bark in the background, recognizable even over the phone.

“Are you at home?”

“Yeah man. What do you need?”

“Can you watch the house tonight? Something took my wards down-”

“Jello or Pudding?”

“Ice cream,” I said, trying to mask my irritation.

“Sorry man, can’t be too careful.”

“Yeah. Anyways, my wards are down, and Mrs.K saw a feaster around.”

“Yeah, heard about that.”

“Yeah. I’m heading out to deal with a revenant, and Lucille won’t be home, so,”

“You need someone there if shit hits the fan. Yeah man, I can watch Mrs.K for yah.”

“Thanks man.”

“‘Course, dude.” There was a pause. “Did you say a revenant?”

“Yeah, long story.”

“Fuck man, I’m just glad I’m not you. I’ll be over in a few.” He hung up. After a few minutes, I heard him knocking on the door. I opened it. He was wearing a tanktop and cargo shorts, with flip flops. His entire body was covered in scars, from his work as an independent hunter. He had Beethoven with him, the ragged Great Dane pouncing on Alphus, who started showering him with attention.

“Thanks for doing this last minute. Mrs.K knows you, so this should be fine.”

“Yeah dude.” He looked past me, at Alphus. “Guns are still in your room, yeah?”

“Yeah. I got a new sig.”

“Oh sick, what model?”

“I got the P229, loaded with .357. Silver, of course.”

“Nice, nice,” Alex looked around. “Where’s Boomstick?”

“Probably hiding from Beethoven,” I said. “Listen, Alphus and I have to go, but I’ll see you tomorrow?”

“If you don’t check in in two days, I’m assuming you’re dead.” I knew he wasn’t joking. 

“I understand.” Alphus and I headed out. I glanced up at the night sky. A thick band of storm clouds was rolling in. I sighed.

“That’s foreboding.”

Hello ! I’m super new to the craft and was wondering where you would suggest getting supplies, such as crystals, tarot cards, and anything of the like.

Getting supplies can be tough, especially if you live in southern states or if you're in a rural area (and, even moreso if you're still in the broom closet!) I personally get my tools from a myriad of places - I get my crystals from a local rock/mineral shop; I get tarot cards online, usually straight from the artist/manufacturer; I get herbs in bulk from my local health food store; and other misc. tools such as candles, candle holders, and jars I typically get from thrift stores.

If you're a new witch, it may be enticing to buy supplies from one shop - maybe an online or local, in-person metaphysical store - but for me, personally, I find they they overprice items and it can be hard to ensure that you're getting your items ethically that way. So, if you're looking to buy tools, I highly recommend shopping around at first! You might be surprised at what you can find in other stores.

Top Benefits of Purchasing Rose Quartz in Bulk for Retailers

Rose quartz, often referred to as the "Stone of Love," has been a popular gemstone for centuries. Its soft pink hue and spiritual associations with love, healing, and peace make it a favorite among consumers looking for both beauty and meaning in their purchases.

For retailers, buying rose quartz in bulk offers several key advantages that can help maximize profits and meet growing customer demand. Let’s explore the top benefits of purchasing rose quartz in bulk for your retail business.

1. Cost Efficiency

One of the biggest benefits of purchasing rose quartz in bulk is the cost savings. Wholesale suppliers often offer discounts for larger orders, allowing retailers to acquire high-quality stones at lower prices per unit. This means you can increase your profit margins when reselling these popular stones. Additionally, bulk buying reduces the need for frequent restocking, saving both time and shipping costs.

2. High Demand and Popularity

Rose quartz is consistently in demand due to its universal appeal. As a symbol of love, healing, and emotional balance, it resonates with a broad range of customers, from crystal enthusiasts to jewelry buyers. With growing interest in wellness and holistic healing practices, the demand for rose quartz is only increasing. By purchasing in bulk, retailers can ensure they have enough stock to meet the needs of a diverse and expanding customer base.

3. Versatile Product Options

Rose quartz can be sold in a variety of forms, making it a versatile product for retailers. Whether it's raw rose quartz, polished stones, jewelry, or home décor items like coasters and candle holders, there are many ways to incorporate this beautiful stone into your product offerings. Buying in bulk allows you to stock a wide range of rose quartz products, catering to different customer preferences and creating opportunities for cross-selling.

4. Builds Trust with Customers

When retailers consistently stock popular items like rose quartz, it helps build trust with their customers. Regular customers will appreciate knowing that they can count on you to have a reliable supply of the stones they love. Having a steady inventory also allows you to maintain your brand's reputation for reliability and consistency, both of which are essential for customer retention.

5. Customization and Branding Opportunities

When purchasing rose quartz in bulk, you have the option to customize or brand the stones in a way that aligns with your business. For example, you could package the stones with your brand’s logo, add informative cards about the stone's properties, or even design exclusive jewelry pieces. Customizing your bulk purchases helps differentiate your brand from competitors and offers customers a unique buying experience.

6. Supports Eco-Friendly Practices

Bulk purchasing helps reduce environmental impact. Instead of placing multiple smaller orders that require excess packaging and more frequent shipping, buying in large quantities minimizes waste and lowers the carbon footprint of transportation. In a time when consumers are becoming more eco-conscious, demonstrating sustainable business practices can be a strong selling point for your brand.

7. Ideal for Promotions and Sales

Having a surplus of rose quartz on hand makes it easier to run promotions, flash sales, or bundle deals. For example, you could offer "buy one, get one" deals, create gift sets featuring rose quartz, or use them as incentives for loyal customers. These types of promotions can increase customer engagement and sales, while the lower cost per unit from buying in bulk ensures you can still maintain healthy profit margins.

8. Long Shelf Life

Unlike perishable goods, rose quartz has an indefinite shelf life, meaning you don’t have to worry about it losing value or going bad over time. This gives you the flexibility to hold onto stock until the right sales opportunities arise, without the pressure of needing to clear out inventory quickly.

9. Tapping into Wellness Trends

With the rise of wellness trends, consumers are increasingly looking for products that offer more than just aesthetic appeal. Rose quartz is believed to have metaphysical properties that promote emotional healing, self-love, and positive energy. By stocking rose quartz in bulk, retailers can tap into this growing market and attract customers who are interested in the healing benefits of crystals.

Conclusion

For retailers, purchasing rose quartz in bulk offers significant advantages, from cost savings and customization options to meeting high consumer demand. This versatile and timeless gemstone is a must-have for any retailer looking to expand their product offerings and cater to wellness-conscious consumers. By investing in bulk rose quartz, your business can enjoy greater profitability, customer satisfaction, and long-term success in today’s competitive marketplace.

Prologue

The cadet walked into the room and scanned through the dimness with the E.M. scanner.

Ahead of the door on the rough wall hangs a rather large window. The window sill is about the position of the head of a sitted man. The wooden table at the base of the window has only two items sitting on it. A new nebula candle and a diplomatic workstation. The candle was sitting in its holder but has never been lit. A chair sat with the seat tucked into the empty space below the table. It's backrest just an inch away from the table. The backrest has the official Equatorial coverall draped over it. The entire set of furniture is drapped in a yellow hue of dust.

A mouse ran into the room through the crease between the door and the hinge and the young cadet smiled. The last time he saw a mouse was in a one year course about the biosphere of Planet 001, better know as Earth. He looked around at the empty vastness of the rather large room. A room meant only for the VIP. The only source of light now was the window and in the hours of sunset there was a display of shadowy caricatures in the room. The walls have cracked with age and the roof has one single chandelier hanging from the impeccable crossbars of the ceiling. The chandelier hung from a chain made of wrought iron and the golden candle holders were impeccable. There is something about nebula candles that make Equatorians just love them.

But something was off with the chandelier, it hung at a funny height. At that height, a tall man would have to watch out for it. The young man took a few steps closer, and he stared at the chandelier, he stared at the bulk and admired the artwork. He had learnt that people on Earth sometimes forgo logicality for expression. Aesthetics is sometimes honoured by the humans on Earth. Back on Planet 999, better known as Olympus, functionality comes first and foremost. The chandelier was a rather large bulk of Eternium. If he made off with it, the trip would prove to be lucrative for him. But he knew that there was more at stake than Eternium. He took a look at the chain and traced it's length with his eyes. That is a pretty long chain to hang a chandelier with. As his eyes continued their trip he saw the chain wind round a bar far into the roofing. The he saw the chain descend downward. And as the young man's head bent towards his chest. He suddenly froze and instinctively straightened his pose, he was about to throw up his hand in a salute and had to catch himself.

Before him was the six feet of flesh and bone that once walked the corridors with men lined in stiff salutes. Here is the owner of the voice that travelled through the galaxies to meet Olympus long before the cadet was ever born. The body still donned the complete attire of a seventh degree Equatorian Sectional officer.

There, attached to the other end of the chain, dangling in mid air, hung the reason he crossed two galaxies, countless solar systems and entered this ghastly room. Gold never tarnishes and the letters embroidered with gold threads to the right shoulder shone in the dim light. The letters boldly read "Captain A. B. Snowball"
