WHO: Jem Carstairs and Magius WHAT: Runes and Magic WHEN: Sunday morning WHERE: The Grocery Store WARNINGS: TBD, likely none STATUS: Closed/Ongoing
On Sunday mornings, Jem enjoyed fixing breakfast for Will and Tessa. He was almost always the first one up of the three of them, and he used that time to go to the store and get fresh food to make. Even after all of his time here, he still wasn't completely used to the idea of refrigeration, and he still preferred to buy small quantities of food more frequently.
This morning, he had decided that he would make omelets. So as he pushed his cart down the aisle of the grocery store, he selected peppers, onions, tomatoes, cheese, bacon, and sundry other things to make the perfect breakfast. He, Tessa, and Will were close enough that he knew very well the things that they liked best.
Reaching the aisle where the salsa was located, he was dismayed to find that the one that Will liked best had been moved to the very top shelf. While Jem was not particularly short, he also was not tall enough that he could reach the one that he wanted without the risk of knocking it off onto the floor and causing an enormous mess.
Looking around the aisle quickly, he saw no one. Believing himself alone, he drew his stele and drew a rune on his forearm. Then he looked up at the jar of salsa, and jumped to grab it with a surprising and almost inhuman agility, landing with a catlike grace and the jar in his hand.
