It was officially open! Usually Galen would wait to ride over to Hogsmeade with Nora, but he'd wanted to stop by to check out the place and say hi to his old friend and club captain before she got too busy with the opening weekend sales.

Inside the Hobbit Hideout was plenty of space to play and shelves stacked high with games, some Galen recognized, and many more he didn’t yet. There were already a few students milling around, browsing the shelves.

“Tzuki!” He called, spotting a familiar face at a delicious-smelling corner. “It’s Galen.” he introduced. He was pretty sure she’d remember his voice, but it never hurt. ” Congratulations on the opening! The place looks incredible!”

xxxx❧Wʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ? Opening Weekend!
xxxxx❧Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? It's so cool he came!



                                                                Tzuki was already quite busy, thanks in part to her advertising to the students of Hogwarts. Of course, it was still early in the day. Not too early for Theo to have brought over a big plate of fancily made cookies, but he also started baking before dawn.... like a crazy person. Tzu tapped down the counter, carefully trying to clean up the place a bit. A few people had come in so far, but not enough that it was busy or anything.

                                                                When the door chimed, Tzuki said her little greeting, then carefully went back to cleaning, now working with putting dice sets in their home under the counter. Someone called her name, so Tzu slowly bobbed her head, trying to determine the source of the sound. "No way that's my favorite rainbow-boy?" She laughed out after he said it was Galen.

                                                                She walked around the counter, careful not to hit her side on the boxes there (as she'd already done thrice). Once out, she was close enough to hear Galen clearly. He congratulated her, so Tzuki did an exaggerated bow... curtsy... thing. "Thank you! It's been a lot of hard work, but I'm glad it's finally open. My dad helped a bunch with the decor, so if it looks nice, that's him. If it looks terrible... well. I can't tell." Another laugh escaped as she turned her head slowly to try and narrow down where her friend was actually standing. That was going to be her biggest challenge, especially on busy days or days with game tournaments. It could be really hard to locate people.

                                                                Her hands shook a bit, trying to feel her way about. "Oh, here. Have a cookie. Theo from the bakery across the street made them for our opening weekend. He says they're shaped like game... things, but I haven't had enough chance to investigate." She turned a bit, tapping on the counter behind her. The cookies should be somewhere nearby. At least she trusted Galen to not do anything crazy.

“You know it!” Galen laughed, making his way towards Tzuki as she turned her head towards him. ”Well, I’ve fot to say, well done Mr. Zhao-Jennings!” he paused, realizing that probably wasn’t how it went. ”Err, well done to him. It looks great. The color tones are warm and cozy, which helps bring the space in a bit for how spacious it is.”

Galen identified the box of cookies. ”Mr. Ellis-Hall from For Goodness Bakes?” he clarified, happy that the Hobbit Hideout had received such a warm welcome from the nearby shops. ”Yeah, looks like we’ve got some card-decorated iced sugar cookies, some meeple brownies, and this looks like…character cake pops? Not sure which…oh! It’s the hobbits from Lord of the Rings, of course!”

He took a card cookie and split it, holding it out to drop into her hand. ”Wanna split the three of diamonds with me?”

3 of diamonds ~ 3 of pentacles, a sign of visions, plans, and prosperity. Literally “would you share this vision of the store with me” in this scene.

                                                                Tzuki was glad Galen seemed in high spirits. He always had been a sweet guy. After mentioning her dad helping with setup, Galen wished the man a thanks. "He's just Jennings. Zhao came from my mom. She wanted me to keep a part of her." Tzuki nodded, though her soft smile never left. Luckily for her, the color scheme was explained in terms she could connect with. Warm and cozy, brings together the space. "It is a big building, isn't it? I've had to perimeter walk several times and I'm sure I'll keep running into things. But that's just me forever, isn't it?" She added a laugh, hoping it kept her friend from being worried.

                                                                She offered over the cookies, which Galen took to investigating. Tzuki set her hand on the counter, trying to make sure she didn't run into anything... including Galen. "No way, really? That's awesome. Theo said he had another surprise for me on the first official Hogsmeade weekend, but who knows what he's talking about. Not me. He said I was wearing orange and asked if I wanted a citrus day... which I still don't understand." She laughed again, ever happy about the support she was getting from all sides.

                                                                Galen offered half a cookie, so Tzu held out her hand to accept. Once she had the cookie, she took a nibble, humming happily. "If I'm living this close to the bakery, I'm gonna gain a million pounds. These are really good cookies." She nodded happily, her hair bobbing a bit with the motion. Plus, if she had friends in and around the school, life would be nice. Her current goal was making friends with the other shop owners (and especially those with restaurants) for a bit more of a community. Plus, she wasn't the greatest cook, so being friendly with the restaurants was just smart thinking.

”Oh neat! Galen remarked, wondering if there was more of a story there. Ah, but there would be time to ask more. Tzuki continued, remarking that it was a big building and she had to walk the perimeter a couple more times. She joked that she’d probably still keep running into things and knowing she was joking and comfortable with it, he chuckled as well.

”If he’s the one making them, I’ll betcha it’s a tasty surprise at least,” Galen speculated. He’d stopped by For Goodness Bakes nearly every Hogsmeade weekend for at least a small snack– he’d tried his hand at baking some of them and gotten pretty decent at making simple baked goods , but there was still something extra magical about the confectionaries at For Goodness Bakes. Plus the master baker always had some unique flavors or adorable designs Galen couldn’t replicate. He pondered the remark about a citrus day and tried to explain. ”I’m guessing he meant your dress? It’s orange and yellow color, which are the same colors as orange and lemon fruits.”

Tzuki accepted the cookie and hummed happily at the taste. Galen agreed wholeheartedly. ”Oh yeah, everything there’s great. Are they catering for here?” Galen gestured at the cafe counter behind Tzuki before clarifying verbally: ”The Cafe, I mean. Are you stocking goods from For Goodness Bakes or baking them separately?”

He looked around again, at the wide open space, the cafe counter, and the currently-empty gaming tables. It had seemed perfectly natural before, that Tzuki could run the entire place by herself since she could do everything involved. But everything at once? ”Hey, would you need an extra hand around here? I mean, I guess it'd not be for a couple months, but I don’t have any concrete plans post-graduation yet. ”

                                                                Tzuki nodded a bit when Galen simply told her the little story of her surnames was neat. Perhaps at some point, she'd tell him the tragic tale... but today was a happy day, and she wanted to keep the conversation nice and happy. She changed the topic to Theo, and Galen said the surprise would be tasty. "Oh, most certainly. I went by there this morning and he gave me a really big cinnamon roll, fresh out of the oven. If you've never had one. I very much recommend it." She grinned, happy to already be friendly with at least a few neighbors.

                                                                "Oranges... are orange. That makes sense. But I thought it was another 'eggplant' situation. Did you know they don't look anything like eggs? And they're purple? Who named these things." She laughed happily, sure Galen was already aware of the terrible naming situation. "But now we have to know. Which came first, the citrus or the color? The world may never know." A shake of her head, partially in a sarcastic silliness, and partially to subtly relocate her surroundings.

                                                                As the two shared their cookie, Galen asked if For Goodness Bakes was catering the cafe. "I am so glad you asked! And the answer is... no, but also kind of. Sara, my wonderful friend there, she made the cookies and brownies herself. But, if you ever want to sit a table, you can order a treat box from For Goodness Bakes. And they'll deliver for only 2 sickles. There should be a little stack of their menus on the counter somewhere. But that was actually Theo's idea to get both of us a little more business. Because no game session is complete without some lovely snacks."

                                                                Tzuki was thinking a moment about having her dad put marks on the floor where tables and chairs should go at the end of the sessions, if only to prevent Tzuki from having more bruises than she usually had walking around. Then again, usually Frankie was good at letting her know when she was about to run fully into a wall.... whenever he wasn't sound asleep, anyway. Then again, the poor guy was still mourning the loss of his friend. Then again, so was Nim, so Tzuki would continue trying to cheer up her friend.

                                                                Her thoughts were jarred by Galen's next question. "You want to help out around here? I mean. I'd really appreciate any help. Especially since we're probably going to be insane on Hogsmeade Weekends. After all, it's free to play any of the games here. Plus I've had interest from some group called the 'Adventurer's Guild'. Whoever they are." She did little finger quotes, though she couldn't keep the smile off her face. The club had been some of her closest friends her last few years of school, after all.

xxxxx Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? A game shop



                                                      It had been a week since Simon moved from the west coast of California to the windswept tiny village of Hogsmeade in the Scottish Highlands. He'd been looking for a major change in life after things just didn't work out for him back at home. Picking a magical community at random, he'd landed on Hogsmeade and had searched for employment options, discovering the bookstore Tomes & Scrolls open for new management. He'd had enough saved up that he could easily purchase the shop and move himself to the Scottish highlands. So he did. He'd spent the first week moving his belongings in to the residence above the shop, setting up the shop for operation, and orienting himself to the new weather. It was much chillier here than in California and he couldn't surf, but that was a problem for a different time. After getting himself oriented, he decided to explore the village and learn all he could about the shops that operated in his new home. Especially since he didn't intend to be leaving this village any time soon. So he'd started with the Three Broomsticks, since he wasn't much of a cook and wanted to find a decent place to eat. Then he'd wandered into some of the other stores, introducing himself the people he met along the way. When he discovered that there was a game store in the village, he knew he definitely had to check it out. Board games were, after all, one of his favorite hobbies. He absolutely loved table top gaming, which didn't always track with his love of surfing, but he was a man of contradictions, after all.

                                                      Pushing open the door to the shop, he stepped in out of the cold and shook off the late winter's chill from his bones before he stepped into the shop proper. Glancing around, he smiled a little and began to examine the stocks. There was a wall with games for sale and they also had games to borrow, as well as a section specifically designed for Dungeons and Dragons. It had been quite a few years since Simon had played that game, but it wasn't something he was against the idea of. It also looked like they had a little cafe section that sold treats and drinks. All in all, this looked like a pretty cozy place to hang out. It currently seemed quiet, but Simon could imagine the loud bustle of children hanging out here during the Hogsmeade weekends. "Hello? This is a lovely shop you've got here," he said, his Californian American accent sounding terribly out of place in northern Scotland. He was painfully aware of that, since everyone he'd met so far seemed to point out that he sounded out of place.

xxxx❧Wʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ? Introductions and inventory

                                                                Tzuki was hard at work following a short "vacation" of sorts. (Okay, so she'd only taken a weekend off... close enough.) She'd been in London with her dad, but now she was back to her usual routine. Since it wasn't a Hogsmeade weekend, she wasn't slammed for once, and had had time to go and get breakfast from Theo's place that morning. Currently, she was doing her best to reorganize some of her games, ever grateful the boxes all had an added tag in braille to list their title. Frankie was draped loosely over her shoulders, occasionally hissing softly in her ear.

                                                                When she heard the bell above her door chime, followed by an unfamiliar voice, Tzuki pushed herself back to her feet and headed toward the door. Her head was shaking slowly, trying to pinpoint this person's location. "Good afternoon, and thank you! My name's Tzuki. Are you a student that sneaked away, or perhaps our new shop owner?" His voice had sounded uniquely American, probably from the west coast somewhere, but that didn't mean there couldn't be a transfer student. Frankie casually perked up, letting himself be seen just past one of the buns Tzuki had tied in her hair. The young woman reached out a hand, half to offer a handshake, half to solidify location. Her eyes were closed, partly because she wanted to make it seem "obvious" her blindness. Who knew how this could go?

                                                      Simon glanced over when the shop owner stopped her work and came over to introduce herself to him. She introduced herself as Tzuki and asked if he was a student or the new shop keep, and a small smile crept onto his lips. He noticed a snake draped over her shoulders, peeking curiously out at him. It was a familiar snake, since the breed inhabited the area that Simon originated from. Tzuki was offered her hand to shake and she had her eyes closed and, based on his previous observation of her, he assumed she was blind. He still smiled and shook her proffered hand. "I'm Simon. I just actually purchased Tomes and Scrolls. It's a pleasure to meet you." He continued to glance around the shop, then added, "I'm kind of surprised a small village like this has a game shop, but I must say it's a pleasant surprise." He chuckled a little, thinking it was lucky that the place he'd moved had a shop that catered to one of his favorite activities. That would definitely help smooth his transition from California to Scotland, that was for sure. Who knows? This change might be better for him than he initially thought.

                                                                Thankfully, the stranger did indeed shake her hand, followed by speaking, so Tzuki could locate him. Perfect. She always hated not knowing where people were! He said his name was Simon and that he'd indeed just purchased the bookshop. "Oh, I'm glad! They've been needing new management for a while. I can't wait to go and explore." She sent over a grin, quite excited about the shop. As long as they sold books in braille, she'd happily be a customer. He spoke again, saying he was glad that Hogsmeade had a game shop, though it was a surprise.

                                                                Tzuki laughed softly as she nodded. "It's only a couple years old. When I was in school, we had a board and tabletop game club, but it took halfway to forever to get supplies in the post. There's no such thing as overnight mail when using owls. So I decided I'd open up a gaming shop of my very own. And the rest is history." She gestured vaguely around the shop. "It's got a bit of everything, too. Games from all over the world, starter kits for Dungeons & Dragons, Magic the Gathering... et cetera. Plus a fully stocked cafe and all the gear you could ever need. Though I think the free-to-play deal is probably the best feature. It's a good way to get people interested in games." As she spoke, Tzuki gestured toward the sections in the shop.

                                                                Maybe she could also use it as a way to sus out the new shopkeep too... "Which sorts of games do you play? It's such a fascinating study to see what games are popular in other regions. I'm guessing western US, probably somewhere costal?" Thank goodness she had traveled all over the world with her dad as a kid. It made it easier to identify people by voice alone. She'd always had to use her senses to learn, since she couldn't exactly just look at people for clues. Then again, it helped that she had a seeing-eye-Frankie to whisper information into her ears. Bless her mom's parseltongue ability.

                                                      When she said she'd love to explore the shop, he nodded, even though she couldn't see the reaction, the added, "I'd love to show you around." Knowing what he knew now, he'd have to go in and add some Braille labeling, but wouldn't be too hard. She went on to explain that the school had a board/tabletop game but they struggled with ordering supplies, so when she graduated, she had started her own shop to help them. That was a pretty darn good idea. He had been eyeballing the place before, but as she explained what sections had what, he looked them over again. Idly, he wondered what she had in stock in the way of Warhammer, since he'd had to leave all his armies behind when he moved. The new place didn't have the storage space for all of them... though he supposed seeing the place now, he could easily magic a corner for them... Quick trip back home and he could have his armies set up here too. She then asked what games he played and pegged him from being from the Western US. "Ahaha, you figured that out, huh? Yeah, I'm from California. Los Angeles, specifically." He chuckled and scratched his head, feeling a little out of place. Then again, he was a surfer dude transplanted into the Scottish Highlands. "Oh, I play a little of everything. Salem had a Dungeons and Dragons club. And I got really into Warhammer 40K, but I left my armies back in LA. Didn't really have the space here, but I'm thinking now I have to make some." He chuckled again, then said, "What about you? What's your favorites?" It was always fun to run into another nerd for these kinds of things. Most people thought that because he was all into surfing and fitness that he couldn't also be a nerd, but he most certainly was.

                                                                Oho, he'd love to show her around, would he? Tzuki offered a small smile, her unseeing eyes opening as she listened around. "That sounds like a lovely time. I'd love to go." Of course, if he didn't have any books written up in braille, she'd have to take it to get translated for her. As much as she wished she could just pop in an audiobook, the whole no-electricity thing made that an annoying task. For now, she'd just assume the best and prepare for the worst. It wasn't like she hadn't dealt with her blindness the entirety of her life.

                                                                After she noted his accent, Tzuki couldn't help but smirk a bit when he confirmed he was from Los Angeles, California. "I had a feeling. If it helps, my dad used to take me all around the world. I guess I just had a penchant for remembering accents. Probably one of those skills to make up for being blind." She shrugged her shoulders a bit, feeling her cheeks heat up in a soft flush. Thankfully the conversation moved along, now focused on the topic of games. He said he was in a D&D club at school, then that he'd gotten really into Warhammer 40K. Sadly, his collection had been left behind.

                                                                "Oh man, where to begin? D&D was my first love, I think. My dad is a huge nerd too, so I was at the table as soon as I was old enough to sit still. Though, I've played a ton of different games, be they TRPGs, classic board games, card games... you name it." Tzuki carefully tapped her shoes on the floor, then offered her hand out to Simon once more. "Here, follow me." Once his hand was in hers, Tzuki cautiously walked across the game floor and over to a wall with all sorts of minis for D&D, Warhammer, and the likes. "Ta-da! If you're wanting to rebuild your armies, I've got the supplies. I'm even thinking of hosting a 'minis painting day' once or twice a year, specifically for those without as many supplies of their own. Hogwarts' Art Club is too chaotic for the expert precision, especially if another Abrams is in charge." She laughed happily for a moment, before realizing Simon likely had no idea who the Abrams family was. Turning her face back toward him, she offered up some knowledge. "They're artists, the lot of them, and from what I hear, they're frequently just... covered in paint. I think I heard they've got something where sounds translated to colors, lucky ducks."
