Second Casefile: Casting Lines [Action/Written]
[Action]
I'd been keeping myself busy for the past week or so, starting when Molly arrived, and had thus far found very little success with anything. There were no thresholds to work with, there were no ley lines to tap into, there were no places rich with magical energy to utilize, and I'd be damned if I was going to try and open a gate to the Nevernever again.
I did not need that bitch of a migraine to come back.
So, along with my apprentice, I began scouting around the village looking for any significant mystical resources. She was also interested in the Filial spirits, but frankly, they sound too much like the Fey for my taste, and I've had quite enough of that, thanks.
Today, however, I was doing something more personally significant. I was going to make myself a new staff, because clearly the old one wasn't showing up any time soon. Unfortunately, this process takes freaking forever, and I had no idea where to start.
So I figured I'd phone a friend.

Hey. Any and all spellcasters, magic-workers, witches, wizards, and anybody else who knows how to work with magic and spellcraft, I was hoping to get some input on the local situation.
Are there any local magic sources, aside from the Filial spirits, that can be tapped into or accessed? Are any of the local flora and fauna significant at all, mystically? Have there been any difficulties you've had using certain kinds of magic? Anything considerably easier?
In essence- What's the deal, anyway?
[Feel free to encounter him as he surveys the village and surrounding environs- he'll be doing odd things like marking, taking paint scrapings, and making notes on a map- or as he surveys the woods for a tree that will provide adequate wood for his staff.]

You know the Shifts restore the houses back to normal, right?
[She's not sure if that makes a difference as to whatever voodoo he's working or not, but, she figures he should know.]
[ Action ]
Wait...
"...does it repair the trees?"
[ Action ]
[...hopefully someone has mentioned the giant wolf god to the New Feather. If not, oh well.]
Re: [ Action ]
There was a wolf god.
Who was fussy about the trees.
Weelllll.... shit.
"Does the wolf god, uh... care so much, about the trees around the edge of the village?"

... You'd think the amount of time I spent dealing with the Fae would make me better at selective truth and specific denial
[ Action ]
As long as there isn't mass destruction, or wanton choppin' of trees - or fire - Moro's been pretty chill with it lately. Just don't go in there smellin' of gunpowder, and ya should be fine.

[Now, about that coffee... She waved a hand in his direction.]
Be seein' ya.
[And hoped, that by letting him go, she wasn't making a terrible mistake.]
