The Parlor: Setting.

[fallen_fell]

Fell's Studio is a structure made out of dark wood with a roof of canvas and other cloth. It's basically a really nice tent, as the whole thing is in the Nexus. A beaded curtain stands in for a door. If you look closer, you might notice that the walls look like they used to be furniture in some former life. The ceiling is made of other, more opaque

*Rosie pauses by the entrance, her arms wrapped tightly around herself.*

Fell? It's Rosie.

[fallen_fell]

*A number of noises sound from what must be Fell's room, then Fell himself wlaks out, with an armful of frames.*

Hello! I will be right with you in a moment. Must put away these frames. Could you open the top drawer in the cabinet?

[twitchnosewitch]

Oh, of course. *goes to the cabinet and opens the drawer for him, then steps aside*

[fallen_fell]

*Fell gently places the frames into the drawer. They are blank. He then dusts himself off*

You are here for your tattoo, correct?

[twitchnosewitch]

Yes, if you have time. If you're busy I can come back later...

[fallen_fell]

You shall not do anything of the sort. We can begin right now, if you want. If you will come with me to my working room?

*Fell snags an empty frame and leads the way to the second room*

[twitchnosewitch]

*follows* Thank you.

[fallen_fell]

*Fell indicates that Rosie should sit on the bench*

Why don't you describe the basic design of the tattoo, and then we can go from there.

[twitchnosewitch]

*she takes a piece of paper from her pocket and holds it out to him, then sits; the paper has two pictures on it*

I want, on my back, wings. Feathered wings, like an angel, folded together into a heart shape. Sort of like the picture, but, well, flat obviously.

Um. White feathers, with pink edges, like the picture of the girl. And I want the tattoo to be rather large, from my shoulders to my waist.

[fallen_fell]

*Fell takes the paper and looks over, and makes Hmming motions. Lazy bees swirl over his head instead of the sound.

Then he frowns, and then an image appears of the wings asked for. They are sketchy and intead of properly fading out to pink, are just a plain pink color all over*

And now for the reasons why? What is the story behind the choices? Do not fret over the image, I'll iron out the kinks as you go on.

[twitchnosewitch]

Well...I did some...rather difficult things, in large part because God told me to. And to thank me, he decided I should get a favor. I decided I wanted angel wings, but I can't walk around with wings all the time...people don't actually have wings where I live. Or where I'm from. So I was hoping I could sort-of use the tattoo as a place to hide them when I'm not using them.

They...they haven't grown in yet. But they're going to be white with pink edges. And they're going to be quite big, I think, which is why I want the big tattoo.

Is that...is that okay?

[fallen_fell]

Nononono. It'll work. It will just be tricky.

The wings haven't grown in yet, so the spell will have to accomodate for them. Spell could be either a direct Transmutation from wing to ink or it could be an illusion spell...

the transmutation spell would be neater and result in a tattoo that looks like this--

*The Tattoo swirls fromt he sketch into an elegant, Art-Nouveau sort of thing, all smooth curves and arcs.*

--But it would be very unsafe to apply it until the wings were present and fully grown. Applying it now might damage or deform them.

With the illusion spell...you'd get something like... this...

*The image shudders and cracks from the graceful shape into a sharp, almost harsh version of the wings. They look pretty bad-ass, actually.*

This one I can give to you right now, and replace it with the (to me, superior) Transmuting one when the wings are 'full grown'.

The size is easy. I can get that in a jif.

[twitchnosewitch]

You'd be able to ink the tattoo around the wings? *she worries her lip a moment, then shrugs*

I don't know how long they'll take to grow in, but I can let them start now if you think that's best.

[fallen_fell]

*Fell nods.*

Yes, I can. Easily. do not worry about my being able to put the tattoo on or not. Right now, all that matters is if the tattoo looks as you want it to.

If you can show me the wings full size, that would be best.

Relax...Would you like some tea to calm down?

[twitchnosewitch]

I'm relaxed!

...

Okay, not really. Tea would be nice, thank you.

[fallen_fell]

Thought so.

Let me go and get some. I'll be right back.

*Fell walks to his room and later returns with a pair of teacups and saucers (mismatched). The tea's hot, but not scalding.*
