Being a warlock sounded cool, and while Ripper certainly enjoyed the darker arts, the one thing that no one every mentioned was the constant shopping and homework of sorts. Granted there were a handful of powerful spells that could be wielded with sheer willpower alone, but realistically most spells, and potions especially, required a great deal of preparation to manifest. That work entailed hours of time dedicated to researching proper ingredients, reviewing and calculating mixtures, and then came the actual purchasing of said ingredients. Buying in bulk never worked well since most herbs and raw ingredients tended to have a short shelf life, though eye of newt surprisingly could outlast pickled eggs. So shortly after arriving within this strange place, the young warlock scoured the web of internets and managed to find a decent place to gather supplies. Sadly this world seemed to lack a general belief in magic, so instead of a proper store his first attempt ended with Ripper wandering into some sort of joke and card shop.
The second effort was far more productive though, and The Scarlet Sage Herb Company had proven to be a gold mine of herbs. It had been one thing to provide the spells and tonics to get Charles up and walking, yet with the addition of another new comer to the mix...Ripper found himself needing to stock up again. The cab ride was pleasant enough, and as he slipped inside the quaint shop the warlock grabbed a basket and began to tick off items from his list. It was when he was down to the last ingredient that the young man accidentally bumped into someone, and as Ripper gazed up from his list to offer an apology (demon summoner, punk rocker, and warlock he may have been...but he was still quite British in nature)his jaw dropped when he spotted Hestia standing there. "What the bloody hell?!"
