A
Mysterious Salesman rolled into the courtyard on his steed, a small cart of trinkets clattering behind him under a cover. He hopped off the steed and eyed the crowd.
He walked towards his cart and pulled the cover off to reveal six vials of liquid. He raised each one and described the contents:
"In this red vial, a liquid of pure temptation resides. Pour this into any mortal's goblet and watch as they fall deeply in love with you. So deep it may even convince them to leave their loved ones and join you in everlasting love. Beware: the concoction is so powerful, it may kill those bonded.
In this lime vial, a poison strong enough to melt the hairs from your arse. Pour this into any mortal's goblet and watch as death takes them in just one sunset. A skilled healer can save your victim, but there are few of those left in this world.
In this blue vial, a single drop of Evanescunei Lunar. Place it upon your tongue and walk freely through the night. The drop will last almost 24 hours and allow you to roam about the lands. Perhaps discovering more than you first knew.
In this magenta vial, an elixir some consider immoral and from the God of Death. Unearth the corpse of one you wish to save, sprinkle the elixir into their eyes and mouth and wait out the night as life returns to their body. Beware, however, as this elixir comes at a cost. Their life will only return for two cycles to complete unfinished business. When their time is up, their body will turn to sand and their dreams with it.
In this black vial, a curse so nefarious that few survive its consequence. Splash three drops onto the skin of four. As their bodies slumber, a darkness deep as the depths of the ocean shall envelope them. Though they lie still, their faces will be clear to those awake. Silenced exposure is not taken lightly, as the user of this vial shall also be revealed.
And finally, a mystery vial. Choose this one wisely. None know its true effects. The Many-Faced God will take from you whatever he pleases when attempting to purchase this vial. You may not choose yourself."
The
Mysterious Salesman let the choices sink in.
"Only six, you are wondering. How can this be?"
He stepped up onto the back of his cart.
"These gifts are rare. They are not bought or sold freely or cheaply. A sacrifice is necessary. The Many-Faced God demands are high, but the rewards, as I have shown, can be great. Submit to me what vial you desire and what you wish to give up in return - your name (don't actually reveal yourselves please. Just say "my name"), your "responsibilities", your "security", or your "soul". The more you offer, the better your chances of earning the vial. Think wisely."
Post in this fashion to put your name up for a vial:
[BUY] Color Vial
[OFFER] Sacrifice of choice (My name, my responsibilities, my security, or my soul)
