I'll be selling hair dye again, for those who needed it. Other spell services are also available. Transport spells are a particular specialty.

Are you saying you sell magic hair dye?

[conesoldstober]

That would be exactly what I'm saying, yes.

[mortemscintilla]

Spells?

[conesoldstober]

Yes, spells. Are you interested?

[thewildone]

Well I just need bleach, but I'd be interested.

[mortemscintilla]

Ah! [ Awkward. ] Are they real spells? The kind to turn people into toads and make hay into gold?

[conesoldstober]

[Bottle blonds unite.]

Believe me, the stuff I make's heaps better than that toss. I haven't had to bleach since a few unfortunate cases in uni.

[conesoldstober]

Do you want someone turned into a toad?

1/2

[mortemscintilla]

[ fdsghjk! ]

N-No!

[mortemscintilla]

.................Can you do that?

action because they are in the same house so there

[candothat]

Do you have spells to make someone taller?

[conesoldstober]

[You get an eyebrow over the top of Howl's book, Chekov.]

Not permanently.

[conesoldstober]

Of course I can, although I don't know why you'd want to. There are more permanent and less reversible methods if you want someone dealt with.

[mortemscintilla]

Such as?

[conesoldstober]

I charge for consultations.

[mortemscintilla]

But I need a guarantee of some kind.

So I know your spells actually work.

[conesoldstober]

[There is a very large feathered parrot on your screen now. It caws a few times, before growing and turning back into Howl, who dusts a few stray feathers off his seat.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ Sorry, Howl. He's skeptical. And a hardass under all that derpiness. ]

That doesn't prove anything. It could be a visual trick installed on your Network device.

[conesoldstober]

Make a request, then.

[mortemscintilla]

That involves understanding the full scope of your spell-casting abilities.

Any street magician can make flowers or parrots fly from his sleeves.

[conesoldstober]

Has anyone every told you you are cynical and unfeeling? A lesser wizard could be completely disheartened by your lack of faith.

[candothat]

[Well then. Flopping onto the nearest piece of furniture, or the floor, if it's closer.]

What a shame. I would have purchased that.

[mortemscintilla]

[ He's a Contractor. They're all cynical and unfeeling. Or so the story goes. ]

But are you a lesser wizard?

[conesoldstober]

They don't make just anyone Royal Wizard.

[conesoldstober]

And you wouldn't be the first to by a glamour, being told it's something permanent. Besides, you're not even done growing yet.
