Chapter 02: The way and rumors to the Town of Astergoth

*Crunch* *Crunch*

A sound that your boots made once they make contact with the snowy path that you walked on. You’ve been walking for approximately 5 and a half hours. You manage to reach a small town called “Silent Mog” that specializes in different crafts, such as baskets and bags.

As you walked to the streets filled with life, you spotted a familiar store. It’s the store that your dearest friend, Leonard Santiago, owned.

You walked towards it, hoping to greet your friend.

As you enter it, the bell rings a small tune and the warm and cozy vibe gives you a sense of comfort. The interior is made up of brown bricks with vents that are connected to the fireplace in the staff room. They have little lamps that light the shop, giving it the signature golden glow.

Chairs and tables to the side and near the window are where they display their products, toys, bags, umbrellas, fans, etc. There is also a huge carpet at the center adding a much aesthetic vibe.

“Oh? I didn’t know you would stop by, (Name).”

 A voice spoke at the back of the curtain.

 “If I had known that you were stopping by, I would have prepared sweets and tea.”

The voice added.

 Soon enough the curtain reveals a young man with shoulder-length black hair and yellow eyes with fair skin. This is Leonard Santiago, a craftsman and a friend of yours. 23 years of age, and he has quite an average height and is dressed in a green t-shirt, a black leather jacket with their logo, brown pants, and black boots. He is the owner of this shop called “Golden glow”.

 He’s fairly handsome and has a quite great personality. He is kind and gentle but can still be serious when the situation calls for it. A lot of ladies within their village had fallen in love with him, but unfortunately, he already has a boyfriend named Christopher Robins, a weaponsmith.  

 “Ah, that is quite ashamed, but don’t worry I’ll leave soon enough.” You said in a calm tone looking around at the store as if you were looking for something.

Leonard smiles and asks “Are you looking for something? Is it perhaps for your sister or for yourself?”

“No, not this time. I’ve noticed that the interior changed. Did you have a renovation or something?”

“Yes, I have to move a lot of things in order to put the machines in the staff room. “

“I see. It certainly gives a much comforting vibe.”

“I know right? I don’t even know why did I not do this much earlier.”

“Christopher must have liked this.”

“Of course, he does. He’s the one who actually suggested keeping the interior.”

Leonard said sweat dropping as he remembered their conversation that day.

+--------------------+----------------+-----------------

“Just keep it. I like the ambiance it gives very much.” Christopher said as he reads the book in his hands.

“Dear…” Leonard sweat drops.

 Ever since he managed to renovate their space, his boyfriend Christopher is very much proud of his work. He kept insisting that it should be kept since he is the one who styled it. He didn’t want his work to go to waste.

It’s been hours after they managed the redecoration, Leonard gives in to his lover’s request, much to Christopher’s liking.

That is the only time that Leonard had seen his lover very proud when it comes in any form of art.

 +-----------------------+-----------------------+--------------------

 “Oh? So, it’s like talking to a young child?” (Name) asked. Although he may not see it, Leonard knows his friends long enough to tell that she is actually smiling perhaps even smirking in amusement by just hearing her voice.

“I suppose you could say that. Anyway, how is Alexandrina?”

“Sister is… still the same I suppose…”

“Still the same, huh?” Leonard replied with a sort of worry gaze.

 Leonard had known Alexandrina ever since they were children. In fact, you could even say that they were best friends. He had seen her fight the bandits and tugs in the underground city, fighting everyone with her words just to protect (name). She had become (Name’s) pillar for a long time.

However, ever since she was struck by this disease, she became different and it is understandable. As much as she hated seeing his friend worry over her younger sister, he knows (Name) hated the fact that she was still her sister’s priority rather than herself.

 “- sigh- And I presume that you are on the journey to go to Astergoth? By now you’ve taken the offer of finding the ingredients yourself.”

“Yes. Those healers are quite a pain in the a**. They can’t even provide a simple cure before heading and recommending this elaborate, much expensive one.” You grumbled under your breath.

“Now, now…”  he tried to calm you down.

“Anyway, I should continue my journey, I need to arrive in that town before the moon rises. “ You said as you stand up. Before you could leave Leonard said something.

“Please do be careful, there are multiple rumors circling around that town.”

“Oh? What rumors?” (Name) asked suddenly curious.

 Well…

The yet another app trying to use ao3 for AI thing is making me sad, because I love podfics! This is not that!

So, to bring some balance for myself I'm thinking of just doing a coldread of one of my fics, so an audio version exists.

im kind of obsessed w matoba in Jail arc and here. coldreading absolutely no actual like. convo w natsume abt this bc natsume rightly refuses to engage when he fishes around it lol. but just zeroing in on natsume's fear of the fujiwaras finding out about what he sees being bc they'd find out what kind of /danger/ hes been in that they cant protect him from. like more than anything else abt the secret and its implications that IS why natsume still hides it

[caracello]

dance moms a new era s1e2 summary:

corinne called tammi crazy and everyone is acting like she called tammi a cunt instead

tammi specifically says that crazy is derogatory to people with mental illnesses and even pulls the 'have you ever known someone with mental illnesses?' card

everyone is on tammi's side for this

glo brings her psychic friend in

her psychic friend bombs the coldreading

her psychic friend informs glo that glo's son reincarnated into her daughter

we later learn that min's son siyan tragically died two years previous

the first thing. the FIRST THING. glo says when she learns this. from a sobbing 8-year-old.

is that her psychic friend was actually right.

Just finished reading "Even so, I will love you tenderly" by Kou Yoneda, the author of "Twittering Birds Never Fly" and "No Touching at All" (and "NightS" but I still haven't read it!)

Deguchi and Onoda are quite sweet, I enjoyed reading about their developing relationships, and see how they overcame their own insecurities and judgements! All in all it was an enjoyable manga.

Not that it matters, but I am wondering if Onoda is bi or demi.

Feeling the #ActorsLife vibes today! 🎭 I'm excited to share a scene I performed "ice cold" at Brian Cutler Actors' Studio 🌟 Major shout out to them for emphasizing the importance of cold reading skills, it truly is a game-changer! 🙌

In this scene, I was reading with my talented classmate, Sarahbeth (off camera), who stepped in for my regular scene partner, the brilliant Jill Cutler. 🎬👥

Trust me, diving into a character without prior preparation pushes you to connect with the script, the moment, and the partner on a whole different level! 💫 Check out the video and see how it went!

How do you feel about cold reading? Any tips or experiences to share? Comment below, let's chat! 🗣️✨
