Haley's Suitcase of Wonders[Social/SilverWolf]

Usually Haley would be in the kitchen, cooking breakfast for everyone in the guild. Except she is not in her haunting spot. The kitchen was bare other than staff who made food for guests. Lunch time comes and Haley has yet to make an appearance to make lunch for the guild too. Dinner arrives and no sign of the shapeshifting mage and not even her fairies, usually strewn about the guild like they work as staff, could not be seen.

Well all except one. This fairy seemed particularly busy and also quite forgetful, seeimg how it approached staff but then forgot what it was going to say, though Haley's fairies can not actually communicate with others since they spoke in chimes and squeaks. The fairy, dubbed Claire, seemed rather distraught, remembering what she wanted to say before forgetting it just as she finds someone. The fairy seemed to circle the library, another haunt for Haley, though the mage is not there. In fact only a somewhat old leather suitcase laid on a table can be seen. Claire bounces in the air, trying to keep her task in her head.

Claire finally found another member after zooming about. However the worrisome fairy stops herself and floats around Quill like a vulture. The fairy was worried she would forget her task when she goes to ask Quill but on the other hand Claire was determined to make Quill understand why Haley has been missing the whole day. Stuck in this dilema, Claire could only flutter about like a firefly on alcohol.

That is till Leona made an appearance. Claire fluttered about, listening in on their conversation before snapping her tiny fingers. The fairy would point out the suitcase and prompt them to open it, so they would see the magical powers of Haley's suitcase. However as the fairy tries to execute her plan, she forgets. Disheartened the fairy flutters down to the suitcase and kicks in a few annoyed kicks.

Haley's fairies are made with distinct personalities that the mage herself has no control over, though they are bounded to following her orders. As they have their own minds, they are free to execute Haley's orders in whatever fashion they wanted. Like minded fairies tend to work together to execute plans while some just laze about till Haley reminds them with a reprimanding tone. Claire fell into a different category, scatter brain. The fairy has troubling recalling things she wants to say even if she repeats it over and over again to herself, it is just gone the moment the fairy opens her mouth.

However none of that matters, for the fairies can only speak with chimes, whistles and squeaks so even if Claire can tell Quill and Leona, they would not be able to understand the fairy at all. The fairy flutters up to the suitcase and stomps on the leather hide, though it just sounds like small taps from a baby at this point. Claire made angry sounding squeaks, cursing herself on her horrible memory and forgetting Leona and Quill were in the vicinity during her tantrum. However something happens. Claire's stomp made the lock flip itself out, causing the suitcase to burst open, slamming Claire to the table with a loud shrill chime.

The suitcase looks like a normal suitcase from the lid, seeing how it has a mesh to hold flatter items or important documents and items. Haley's was empty except for a "Do Not Enter Without Permission" notice that seems used and crumpled, making it read "Do Enter With Person". The elephant in the room was however the pitch black void that was the storage compartment, where you throw in everything else. A ladder came out of said void, latching itself to rim of the suitcase. Claire manages to wiggle herself out and starts to drastically point towards the ladder with alarmed chimes and whistles as if telling them to descend.

Claire has no idea how the two mages do not see her at all. However at least they are on the right path. The fairy flies right into the suitcase, leaving a trial of fairy dust behind that no do not grant you flight when you believe in fairies. The two would descend into the darkness that soon became what Quill saw, a massive room. Or at least it looked like that from the outside.

It was a narrow squeeze through what seems more like a hallway than an actual room. The stuff that Quill saw were scattered junk, as if left there ready to be thrown out but whoever used this magical item clearly did not do the routine today. There would be a floating trial of fairy dust, glowing and beckoning the two adventurers to continue forth through the hallway.

At the very end of it, was a lobby room that had a vintage design to it. What seems like corridors of doors and halls of rooms circled the lobby, not to mention the staircase that leads up to what seems like locked rooms. The lobby was lit by a chandelier, with smaller candles serving as lights on the wall. It looks like a very nice place to hold an assembly, except it felt rather spooky cause it was eerily quiet other than the soft chimes that echoed in the halls.

The fairy dust trial leads them to the left, where they eventually find a thick black mass blocking their way, however it seems the fairy has gone through said area through small gaps in the mass. Magic seems to bounce off the mass but weapons cleave right through it. Cleaved off mass shrivels and fades into dust which suddenly another fairy would fly in to clean it up. There seems to be someone right behind the mass, as a voice would call out to ask for help or mention a person named Claire in her sentence, doubting the existence of the two outside. Not to mention the chimes are louder here.

Once the mass that blocked the door is cleared, the whole room was glowing with a mystical blue light, countless chimes that made a tranquil sound, like bells tolling for a eventful moment in a person's life. The lights seem to part, and revealing what seems like someone trapped out a ceiling. The person on the ceiling calls out the moment the fairies move aside.

"Hey! Up here! Um hi! I'm Haley Halcyon Musea, and um..." The mage looks around. "Welcome to my home... Though it ain't too homely since I accidentally put Eye of Newt instead of Tail of Newt into the cauldron for my potion. Yeah did you guys come here cause Claire here called for your help? Cause thank you very much I-I've been stuck here the whole day. I hope breakfast was still served normally..."

The fairies almost looked hostile towards Quill for throwing the spear at Haley, but they did not dwell in it, for now Haley is safe. Almost immediately the blue glow disappears, along with the black gunk. The library looked as if it has never been touched by the black gunk. The fairies begun to fly about the place, carrying the trash in and out of the library. Haley lets herself off and dusted herself quickly before bowing in thanks.

"Right question to answer... Um firstly like I said this is my home so that would answer yours Miss... As for yours sir...," Haley moves aside as a broken cauldron is brought out of the library and replaced by a new one. "You see I was making... um... Digit? What was I making again?" A fairy that flew past immediately turned around, as if it responded to the name Digit before it gave a few small chirps and left. Haley thanked it before returning to the group.

"Right I was looking into apothecary recipes of an ancient age and I messed up by putting in the wrong part of a newt... To put it simple the reaction caused black mass to spew out at speeds equivalent to a ether cannon and... Sorry I might have lost you there... Um basically lots of black goo, launched me in the air and sort of became this spongy like substance... The fairies could have clean it up themselves but priority was me for them so... they kinda stood on guard the whole time." Haley rubbed the back of her head. Haley brushed the feathers slightly, and tucks the bandanna proper. Haley then looks around.

"This is kinda awkward... um... You wanna introduce yourself? Break the ice? I got a place inside here we can have a nice meal..." Haley fidgets, as if hoping for it.

Haley noted the lack of interest in her place and the added tension. The mage made a small mental note to not ask them out for tea. Seeing how Quill simply ignored her question for introductions, she turns her attention to Leona. After all she might have gotten on the wrong side of the coin that is Quill and resulted in his added distaste in her. Haley does not want to distance between him and her to increase, after all they are guildmates. Last thing they need is a fight breaking out.

"Nice to meet you Miss Jarnefelt? Apologies if I mispronounced your last name I tend to slip in my articulation sometimes," Haley adjusted her glasses as fairies sorted books, now vines were beginning to grow along the bookshelves and ridges in their stem form, almost like stairs or ladders. Haley then beckons them to follow her. "Um let's go this way if you mean different location as in, not my apothecary room." The way back disappeared anyway as Haley slips through a bunch of curtains.

Behind the curtains revealed a somewhat fresh looking outdoor garden, complete with a bright sun dimmed by clouds. The garden itself was rather bare, but small shoots can be seen. There was a shed behind the garden with fairies flying in and out carrying gardening tools to probably tend to the much larger flora in the distance. A sun umbrella with a table, three seats and a tea set were already there in view. Haley skipped over and awkwardly stood there.

"I-I should probably reintroduce myself better," Haley clears her throat. "Haley Halcyon Musea, Silver Wolf's um... chef? Researcher in apothecary? I was never given an official title other than Crow cause well if it was not too obvious already..." Haley points to the three crow feathers sticking from her bandanna. Crow feathers! Yeah... Anyway do take a seat, I have a few varieties of tea, chrysanthemum, earl gray... Milk even I got milk tea!"
