[samantha_grey]

An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

OOC: Feel free to comment here if your character wishes to get in touch with Samantha Grey directly. Let us keep any such material to PG-13 or less. If you're interested in something that should be matured tagged, contact me via PM and we can discuss it.

[Merlin's tapping his cheek thoughtfully when the message starts.]

How difficult is the herbal license test?

[Video]

[samantha_grey]

With your teacher? Add about twelve to twenty herbs with straightforward properties, and three common potions to your usual mix, and you'll be fine. Honestly? I think you'll probably ace it.

[Not saying 'you'll ace it because you're mother f'ing Merlin. Nope. She's thinking it, though.]

Hey-o! How goes that mysterious color-changing sickness of yours, huh? If you're feeling better, you should tell me all about it~

Or even if you aren't, nya ha!

[samantha_grey]

[And here she'd hoped he'd forgotten.]

It was a poison. A mixture of alchemical substances dumped into the water supply. Hit most people, but it's gone now. [she grunted.] Nothing horribly complicated in the end.

Hey, Samantha? I asked Sigyn about the increase in power--did you manage to ask Hel yet?

np

[samantha_grey]

They're not sure, since there's been no precedent. They're looking into it, and if they need help with the experiments they'll let me know. This is about as far as I got with her, which is better than anything in the past.

text ;; soon after midnight on Day 303, before the network goes down the next day

[nukeoleptic]

samantha, hey
are you alright?
that noise outside was ridiculously loud
and a lot of the natives are kind of panicking
i think??? i cant really tell yet
im not sure whats going on
do you think this is a curse??

[samantha_grey]

It's an attack. That's the only thing I can think of. There's ice all over the palace. We need to keep it from spreading, and you need to be careful of the frost. It burns something fierce.

Watch the moon if we lose contact. If it goes black and you see me around, get away.

Day 308 :: Voice

[kuramaless]

Hey, Oi Sasuke--

Are y'there?

Man, this thing has been like stupid right? I think I accidentally touched that ice too much, my fingers still feel frozen.

We should go out for ramen, yeah? I'm gonna get Gaara to come too.

I'm coming over there now. I can see your house.

Er, yeah I'm here. You comin' down?

Re: Day 308 :: Voice

[samantha_grey]

.... you drunk, blondie? Mind you, I wouldn't mind ramen with the cold one, but I'm not your boyfriend.

[Jack sounds a bit... shaken.]

Alright, so maybe the gods didn't like the prank after all. But I didn't expect them to... I don't even know. Are you awake? This is so dumb.

Of all the nights to screw up and talk to her... hah

[samantha_grey]

Now now... [There's something odd about the quality of her voice when she speaks, like she's far too amused compared to her usual attitude towards... well, everything. It's actually a pity the two of them didn't talk more often. Jack might be more versed in the warning signs that Samantha was not herself right now.]

They can be such humorless dicks from time to time, but it's not like they'll ever do anything permanent to you. Why worry so much?

Text || Early 312

[freezerburned]

hey you run the apothecary right

Text || Early 312

[samantha_grey]

[It takes almost fifteen minutes for her to reply. She's had what could be politely called a "Bad Day." However, she knows others might need supplies.]

Yes. What do you need?

[Day 334 (forward-dated because impatience) | Voice]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

What the fuck happened here?

lol

[samantha_grey]

Thiazi. She started corrupting the minds of everyone in the city connected to a bracelet. They had to scrub a bunch of our heads clean as it was driving us fucking nuts, and a few of the others went completely bat-shit, corrupted body and mind with Thiazi's influence and weird-ass powers.

Fucking insane damned month. Welcome home. Grab a shovel.

[sheloves]

[Ril's voice is quiet as she leaves her message.]

I remembered that you had an interest in cross-species mating, yes? I met an interesting person on the train. Perhaps we could meet to discuss?

[Private]

[samantha_grey]

I had a what with a who in a ... [She blinked and her eyes went wide when she got that message and then she just groaned, rubbing her forehead and looking at Ril through her fingers.]

You're bringing the drinks.

Action | Day 351

[5thchild]

[ Per agreed, Kaworu drops by Samantha's place for lunch. He brings is tea because he wants to thank her for the lunch but he is not very sure what people are meant to give as "thank you" gifts. It's Earl Grey tea and hopefully she will like it (forgive him for being such an odd ball, Sam).

He knocks at her door, holding a smile on his lips as he waits. ]

[samantha_grey]

[It's not her favorite tea, but it's up there on the scale, so she won't mind. There's a "I'm coming" from the other side of the door. Footsteps can be heard, and then the process begins. Click. Shink and rattle, Click, Clunk, thunk, click, rattle, shink, click.

The door opens. A glance at it makes it seem that she's reinforced it in the past after it got replaced, and that there's easily seven locks on it. There might even be a rune on the door to protect it from damage.]

Hey. I was expecting you. Come on in.

[The smell of something very sharp is in the air.]

Voice;

[sharingone]

You still run that Apothecary, right?

Voice

[samantha_grey]

Yo. Yep. One of two in the area. Working on a bit of new stock actually. What're you needing right now?

WHAT THE HELL?

WAS THIS YOU? DID YOU DO THIS?

THE STUPID BASKET OF--

WE. AIN'T. DA- Go-- ANYTHIN'! Y'HEAR?

mmmm? [Innocent demon is innocent? Feigning ignorance soooo hard right now.] Whatever are you talking about?

[Jane's voice is...just a smidge timid, at least as she starts out. It's weird, just messaging someone you barely know to ask to meet them.]

Um...hello? Oh, I do hope I've got the right person...This is Jane, we spoke a bit when that Thor fellow was banging his bracelet to kingdom come? You said I could come and see your shop. Would it be alright if I stopped by today?

[samantha_grey]

Eh? Oh, hey. Yeah, I remember you. [She sends directions.] Feel free to stop by if you like. If it's after hours, bang on the door. I have some research to do, so I'll be in late.

( VOICE )

[unchain]

[Elizabeth needed time to recover & Booker was doing a good job at using his second chance at being a father. as the days went by (& the heat rising), she was starting to feeling a little bit like her old self. though what transpired in the mirror world still haunted her & every so often she would have flashbacks & nightmares.

when she wasn't plagued by those memories, though, she uses the first chance she gets to contact Samantha, hoping her friend was alive &.... with a head.]

H-Hello, Samantha? It's me, Elizabeth. I was - I was hoping to see if you were all right. [with a head, she wanted to add but she refrains.] Um, whenever you get the chance could you please get back to me?

( VOICE )

[samantha_grey]

[Oh, this was a call she was dreading. She fidgeted when she heard Elizbeth's nerves. Swallowing, she hit the feed back and sighed to herself.]

Hi Elizabeth... yeah, I'm fine. I... guess... we probably should talk, shouldn't we?

[Private Video]

[snugglesjugs]

Hey Sam I forgot tell you something fun I did while you were out.

Note on Date: backdated to d371 (He'd know she'll be out of town after)

[samantha_grey]

mmm? Oh, Aladdin. I'm glad you called. What, dare I ask, did you do?

[Video Message] After Alfheim

[dragonspeak]

Hey. [Tired smile for you, Sam, but he's in one piece.]

I wanted to talk to you about a few things. Do you have time?

Video

[samantha_grey]

[She still had the rasp, but was smiling warmly enough when he called. A small nod and she stretched. Yep, in the lab again.]

Sure, go ahead. Network or in person?

Day 393 - Evening

[kuramaless]

Uh-- Hi.

[Yep. That's it.]

[samantha_grey]

Hey... Everything alright?

[It had been a few days. She had a feeling she knew what this was about. The girl had her head leaned back against the wall. Tomorrow was the new moon. Thank god he'd avoided calling then.]

day 395. text.

[redhourglass]

I heard you were the person to get in touch with if I was interested in poisons.

Text

[samantha_grey]

Yeah. Asclepus has a couple, but they specialize in curatives. I'm going to be getting on the train in an hour to go to Alfheim. If you're going that way, I'll bring some stock with, or you can hurry over to Pinch in Loki.

Or I should be back in a day or two. Your call.

action | 397

[tumbler]

[Someone has knocked on Samantha's door, but by the time he opens it, whoever knocked will be gone. In their stead is a nug, complete with bow and a small piece of twine tying her loosely to the door. Attached to the bow is a note, reading: lonely nug seeks single half-demon female]

Reaction

[samantha_grey]

[The scent of extremely spicy cooked nug after its slaughter can be had for nearly the next week or two. Well, the lonely nug never said it wasn't looking for a hungry half-demon, now did it?]

[Video]

[snugglesjugs]

Hey Sam~ I heard you tried to make a love potion~

[Video]

[samantha_grey]

Oh, yeah... almost six months ago. It went so damned badly I didn't tell anyone about it. All the potions that tried to do what house powers do have ended really badly.

[asgardsbeauty]

[In honor of the Earth holiday centering on love, Freya sends out a little gift around this time.

A small box containing a piece of chocolate will appear on your pillow during the day. When consumed, the chocolate’s magic will lift your mood for a short period of time. It’s accompanied by a note.]

Where love might bring about sorrow, it also welcomes joy.

Reactions

[samantha_grey]

[Of Samantha, Kin and Equius, Samantha is the only one to actually reply. She manages to figure out Freya might have a hand in it, and leaves a simple thank you card on her altar.

Kin? Likely doesn't find the chocolates for a long time, since she's squatting in houses and changing locations a lot. Equius... probably gave the chocolates to Nepeta, since she likes sweets more.]

backdated to Day 400

[asgardstricks]

[ In honour of the god centering on love being a giant frilly prissypants, Loki sends his own little gift just a few hours after hers.

His box of chocolate will look, smell, and taste exactly like Freya's did, appearing right next to where Freya's was or is if you haven't picked it up yet. The only difference between the two is that Loki's won't lift your mood; it'll give you loud and embarrassing flatulence for the next three hours.

It's also accompanied by a note. ]

Where joy might bring about yearning, it also welcomes wonder.

Day 406

[kuramaless]

Ey, you got a minute?

[samantha_grey]

Sure. What's up?

[The feed shows her, predictably, working on something in her lab. She's always working on something.]

Day 406 :: Late Evening :: Voice

[kuramaless]

Hey, guess what?

Voice

[samantha_grey]

Chicken butt.

[Forgive her. She'd just heard that one before she came back for the first time.]
