Time Stamp: 22th of Fall, 513AV
Location: Den of the Lost
Who: Iosha
Walking up to the door, Iosha saw the strange writing on the door and noticed the letters were written in a rather artistic way that made them resemble a letters in a tattoo. Putting her hand on the door knob, Iosha turned it and walked into the shop. The konti never considered her the most clean person by any means since she had been known to leave clutter around her apartment, but the magical shop was completely in disarray. She was surprised that the man could even stay in business with his study a complete disaster. Walking farther into the magical shop, Iosha couldn't help herself and noticed the strange glass beads hanging from the ceiling. The konti looked at the window and noticed it was completely covered in a thick film of dust that dimmed the light in the large room giving everything a darker more mysterious look to it. Wondering if she should just go home and clean her apartment, Iosha noticed a strange alter covered in half melted candles with strange animal bones littering the table. It was grotesque sight, and she was curious if he used it for spiritualism, or if it was used for other means, she did not know. When she made it past the front of his shop, she saw a tattooed man sitting behind his desk. He seemed to be focusing on something, so she waited patiently in front of his desk watching his every move.
As Iosha watched the strange man, she noticed that he was chewing something as he stared into nothingness. The konti looked on the contents of his bench, and she noticed that in a small bowl was a red dough. She looked at the other items on his desk and noticed that he had a small basket of eggs, small bag of floor, and a bloody knife. Suddenly, Iosha saw the man pick up a empty bottle, bring it to his mouth, and spit up a small glowing substance into the vial. He quickly corked the vial and set it off to the side. The tan skinned man looked up at her and asked with a smile, “Well, you don't see many of your kind in Lhavit, but I have to say that you aren't hard on the eyes, Konti. What do you need from the friendliest spiritualist in town?” Feeling a flush flow up her neck, Iosha couldn't help, but look away when she felt her cheeks getting red. Iosha looked over at him and said simply, “I heard you teach spiritualism to people for a fee. Could you teach me? My name is Iosha Moonchaser” Iosha saw the tall man stand up from behind his desk and waved over her to the seat in front of him and stated, “Why don't you take a seat in front of me. If there is something on the chair in front of you, just put it on the floor.” Iosha looked at the chair and noticed a human skull sitting on the seat. A few scenarios went into her head when she saw the skull, but she heard Rostam was respected members of the wizard circle in Lhavit, so she figure it must have been donated to him for experiments.
Picking up the skull, Iosha sat it down on the desk in front of her and said softly, “I have the money to pay you, so money won't be a issue.” Rostam sat down in his chair and asked with a smile, “Why would you like to learn spiritualism, Konti? Isn't divination your peoples' passion? Iosha shook her head and said with a smile, “My passions took me down a different path, but my visions are probably the most import reason for me wanting to learn spiritualism. Avalis blessed me with the gift of seeing the events leading up to peoples' death, so I want to learn spiritualism, so I can try to help them if I could.” Rostam stoked his chin as he listened to her and almost laughed when she said that she wanted to help them. The Spiritualist said simply, “Iosha ghost like most mortals are selfish and self adsorb, so they only concern is to their selves. You must understand that you can't help every ghost because sometimes, they don't want to be helped or to angry to help at all.” Iosha considered what he said and responded with a nod of understanding. Rostam looked her over a little longer and said simply, “Well I am sure you will learn that lesson the hard way. I will teach you, so it is five kina for each spiritualism lesson , Iosha.”
