-- Poorly Constructed Enchanted Tool --
A small tool carved from a fruit tree seed. Energy to power the enchantment has seemingly run-out long ago, and the method of recharging is unknown - but, based on the appearance, it's very likely that this was once used for detecting magic. Usually, looking through the glass center would highlight areas of higher magical energy concentration present in the viewer's environment, even if they were otherwise obscured to the naked eye. While this form of enchantment itself is highly advanced, the craftsmanship of the item is far less neat or complex than what might be typically seen in similar devices. It may have been made as part of training/practice, or as a hasty replacement for a previous tool that had broken.
#written from the perspective of some fantasy traveler who checks all of the local thrift-stores and lost & found places for every#town they visit - looking for interesting items and documenting them or something#In reality - just another one of my goofy little avocado pit carvings lol. Still working on inlaying little stones in them and stuff#I don't really have the tools to make super intricate stuff but doing little plain swirly patterns is still fine enough lol.#WORKING ON NEW POLL ADVENTURE also I know I know it's been months.. I have been Busy and struck by the evils of summer#But like I mentioned in the previous one I do want to at LEAST finish the quest with the egg lol#ANYWAY.#Things like this would plausibly exist in Nanyevimi (my fantasy world) but wouldn't be very common as - like mentioned- this would be an#extremely advanced enchantment. REALLY advanced mages could sense magic around them (to varying degrees of pinpoint accuracy of location#) without even having to use any external device. But for a majority of people there's really no way to know someone is using magic near#you unless you either see visual proof or if it's strong enough to feel effects from it (since magic is kind of like radiation in that the#higher energy/more of it youre exposed to the more it damages you/can make you sick/etc.) and even then most people would just be like#'hmm why do I feel so nauseous and bad out of nowhere?' likely wouldn't directly think to link it to magic. Thus the only really reliable w#way isto just hone your senses over like 500 years as you become an expert mage - OR use enchantments like these. But a 'sense magic' encha#ntment is not as common as a just 'magic is not allowed here' enchantment. If you wanted to prevent magic from being usedin a space#it's easier to just put up a broad barrier enchantment around that space than to have some sort of Magic Sensor to pick out if it's being#done and then handle each individual case of it . etc. etc. These sort of things can have their uses (especially for people investigating#things or trying to be secretive about detecting something etc.) but are less common - especially in this form (where visuals are used. itd#be more likely to jsut have like 'piece of metal that gets warm or cool depending on magic nearby'.) ANWAY so this is why it's a notable#object. Though a majority of the realm is not very magic literate - if you were a researcher or a mage and found this at a pawn shop you'd#definitely be like 'oohhh!! :0 inch resting... ' if not you might just be like 'oh cool necklace!' lol#also love the quick 2min ''costume'' for the image of it being used. literally just 'wrap yourself in scarves from the waist up' and slap o#a wig and ears lol#on this blog I guess since it's worldbuilding related and technically art.. maybe more like crafting? I should have a crafts tag lol.. hmm

Your fingers stick together as you apply some facial glitter to your cheek bones. โ€œYo, I think this face glitter is off, yโ€™knowโ€ you say to your best friend Taehyung who is on the other side of the room, staring into the mirror, attempting to smoke out his eyeliner.
โ€œDidnโ€™t you get it off Kami? It was probably bought like a decade ago, and itโ€™s only just resurfaced from her neon coloured makeup collection. โ€˜83 through โ€˜87 were wild, canโ€™t believe people used to wear all that colourful crap.โ€ He said, trying his best not to smudge his handy work, his face showing amusement.
โ€œOk, mister punk rocker, donโ€™t go all cynical on me. You forget that I still have your baby pics with you and all your neon sportswear on, thinking you look so fly. Oh, and and donโ€™t let me forget about your bright pink sweatbands! They were abominable.โ€ You break out into laughter remembering all of his cute little baby jump suits. He looked like he was going skiing because they were all so padded.
โ€œOh eat my shorts, you know Iโ€™m a changed man now, grunge has taken ahold and I am never going back toโ€ he dramatically shivers โ€œbright colours. Never again.โ€ He feigns a retch and turns back to the mirror to adjust his hair.
You were both in your bedroom, getting ready for hopefully the best concert of your life. You were going to see one of the best vocalists of the generation, in your opinion. Jeon Jungkook, also known as Jeon JK, is a tall, dark haired, leather clad, heartthrob that had weaselled his way into your heart, and pretty much held it tight. Youโ€™d be lying if you said you didnโ€™t want to do him. Amongst having a rocking bod, he also is an amazing song writer, total cutie/dork, and most likely a general nice dude with a good personality. What wasnโ€™t their to like?
So this is how you found yourself, and your best friend Taehyung, in your most grungy outfits you could make under a budget and about to go to a hopefully life changing concert.
Tae turned around from the mirror, โ€œTada! Do I look okay?โ€ His eyes were gently smudged with not over the top eyeliner and his hair was slightly tousled. It had begun to grow over his eyes so he kept on sweeping the dark locks behind his ears. It matched well with his slightly too large black overalls and light grey tshirt. Over the tshirt he wore a checkered short sleeve shirt with black thick piping on the edge, a detail heโ€™d added himself. All in all he looked like a grunge dream, heโ€™d totally mastered the look.
Unlike your self ripped denim, stolen-from-Tae pearl jam shirt, and leather jacket, you didnโ€™t really look very appealing in your own head but you figured it that was the best you could do so youโ€™d just have to rock it.
โ€œYou look ravishing, my dude. King Kurt would say you look banginโ€™ and thatโ€™s honestly all you ever need in life, right?โ€ You laugh at your own joke but itโ€™s less awkward because Tae joins in too.
โ€œThank you! Right, come on Joan Jett 2.0 shall we hit the road? We donโ€™t want to miss the opening act, do we?โ€ He pulled on his doc martens and soon you were off.
โ˜†:.๏ฝก.๐Ÿฅ€.๏ฝก.:โ˜†
As soon as you saw his face you had to pinch yourself. He looked so good it had to be surreal, it had to be a dream. His boyish long curly hair fell into his dark eyes, his cuffed baggy T-shirt, his ripped jeans, the sweat dripping down his neck, he was a heavenly vision. He looked like some type of Greek god among mortals. His smooth voice crooning out rich and melodiously. It was dulcet and velvety, yet full and powerful too. This man was, quite simply, enchanting.
You break out of the spell this magical pied piper put you under and lock eyes with Taehyung. Heโ€™s singing along to the words, eyes wide and full of awe. Heโ€™s putting his height to his advantage, he can see much better than you. โ€œOh so kind Tae Tae?โ€ You shout over the guitars and drums blasting ahead of you. โ€œYeah?โ€ โ€œCan I please sit on your shoulders?โ€ You say as cutely as possible whilst shouting over a live band. โ€œI donโ€™t know, we might block others view though.โ€ He says eyes still locked on the brown haired boy ahead.
โ€œNever mind them, I canโ€™t see, Iโ€™m short!โ€ You put your hand to your forehead and pull it upwards to make the point. โ€œFine...but you owe me big time.โ€ He says rolling his eyes but a smile on his lips.
He pulls you up just as Jungkook throws his head back to the beat of the song. Damn, that was hot. A wave of heat flows up your body and you feel your blood run straight to your cheeks.
Thank goodness you got on Taeโ€™s shoulders; you can see so much easier now, you can see well over everyone else, the slight swaying of Taehyung balancing himself is a small price to pay for getting to see the one and only specimen ahead.
Suddenly the song shifts, the guitars and drums crescendo and JKโ€™s voice goes from velvety smooth, to something alike ice. Laced with something that can only grab your attention, sharp yet still smooth at the same time. The music was unfamiliar, the drummer begun a solo and JK swayed his hips. Then the drummer stopped and the guitarist started the opening chords to their latest single... so thatโ€™s why the sudden shift, itโ€™s a mashup.
โ€œThatโ€™s so cool!โ€ You shout to Tae and then scream to show your approval.
Swiftly, the crowd surges forward and because of this so does Taehyung. You try your best to hold on to his shoulders, youโ€™re approaching the barrier, much closer than earlier. All of a sudden Tae jerks forward, having reached the barrier and no more room to go, his body lurches and along with him, you. You tumble over the railings, legs hitting the metal as you go head first.
Head aching with pain and dust on your hands, you look up. You find yourself in the โ€œno manโ€™s landโ€, the small space between the barriers and fans, and the stage and the artist. You hold your head as you cautiously stand up and a familiar face turns in surprise. He spots you and perfectly ends his note as he powerfully walks over. Luckily itโ€™s the instrumental outro so it doesnโ€™t seem to alert anyone things are wrong; he crouches down to you, the stage separates you both but he makes the gap smaller.
โ€œYou ok, doll? That looked like quite a tumble you had there.โ€ He soothed as he gently placed his hand over yours, resting it on where you bumped yourself. He stroked your cheek softly, consoling you. โ€œIโ€™m ok, I think, just a little dizzy.โ€ Shooting pains were stinging your temple but like hell were you gonna show your true pain. โ€œLet me help you.โ€ He takes your hand in his and plants a gentle kiss on your forehead. โ€œAll better?โ€ He asked.
โ€œI think so. Although my elbows kinda hurt from the impact.โ€ Your brain registers youโ€™re actually holding hands with THE Jeon Jungkook and you feel your heart just about burst from your chest.
โ€œIโ€™m a tad concerned you may have a concussion darling, so Iโ€™ll take you back stage in a hot minute and Iโ€™ll get you some help. Just hold on here for me.โ€ His dark eyes had a gentle expression, something new than what he usually has on stage. They sometimes look almost feral; like heโ€™s going to jump someoneโ€™s bones. Not that you mind, however this was new and made your heart beat just the same, especially because you were the one who made him look so soft and fond.
The tall fellow rose and strode over to the centre stage. He languidly grasped the mic stand and began to sway to the rhythm. The guitars and drums began to fade out and the middle of the stage slowly started descending until his tousled hair was out of sight. You now realised this was the beginning of a โ€˜halftimeโ€™ break.
Soon enough Jungkook came running round the side of the stage and he bent down to where you were sat.
โ€œRight, letโ€™s get you sorted doll.โ€ He grabbed both hands in his and gently and hesitantly helped you stand up. Once you were stood he put his arm around your waist and wrapped yours around his.
No way were you so close to your giant crush, never mind in an intimate embrace. Your brain struggled to process the whole thing and tried itโ€™s best to act normal. Your brain was short circuiting and your heart pounding away; if you donโ€™t die of a concussion, youโ€™ll certainly die of a heart attack.
He quickly and fluidly moved you to the back stage area, escaping the roar and hungry eyes of the fans.
Once you were sat down on a plastic chair and he left to alert the medical staff, you began to shiver. Mainly out of nervousness and excitedness but quite possibly because you miss the warmth of his arm around you too. However as soon as he was gone he returned and had his arm tucked neatly around you again.
Why was he being so touchy? Was this just fan-service? Or maybe he is just like this when he is worried? Either way, it doesnโ€™t stop the chill his warm touch sends up your side as his fingers brush against your hipbone.
All this time waiting for medical staff gives you a great opportunity to admire him. His visuals were so much more than stunning, they were quite simply unfathomable at times. A bead of sweat dripped down his temple and your mind canโ€™t help but spin. His plain black T-shirt sticks to his stomach and you can see the faint outline of muscle. You look down to the hand around your waist. Itโ€™s broad and sinewy, a large vein running down the centre. His touch is gentle and caring, something you never expected from a stranger, never mind someone as famous as him.
You want to stay in this sticky plastic chair forever. โ€œHow are you feeling?โ€ He asks, breaking you from your wild thoughts. โ€œNot too bad, thank you for helping me, you really didnโ€™t need to do this.โ€ You reply, cheeks turning rose red.
โ€œNo, really, donโ€™t worry about it. Itโ€™s the least I can do, you take your time to come here and support me, and for me to not help you up? That would hurt me inside. Iโ€™m glad youโ€™re feeling a bit better though, that was a nasty tumble you took there doll, I hope your boyfriend is ok too?โ€ He stiffens beside you, itโ€™s as if as soon as he says it he realises what he said. โ€œOh no no, Taeโ€™s not my boyfriend.โ€ You run your hands across your thighs, a nervous reaction.
โ€œOh thank goodness, I only just realised how it couldโ€™ve looked, and I know Iโ€™d be raginโ€™ if some meathead like me touched my girl.โ€ His body relaxes, and his hand grazes your hipbone for the second time. It feels like internal static electricity at his sudden touch, you hold in from jumping at it. โ€œDo you have a girl?โ€ You query, thoughts tripping over themselves to catch up. His โ€˜thank goodnessโ€™ reaction was certainly unexpected.
Was he relieved because he didnโ€™t want you to look like you were cheating? Or because he could freely make advances without another guy in the picture? Or both? Either way your mind raced trying to keep up with everything, forehead still stinging in the background.
Eventually the medical staff turn up and sort you out, check you over to see if you have any insurance claimable injuries and bid your adieu with two tiny butterfly stitches over a cut you never knew you had.
JK walks you back to the stage floor, pulling you by the hand. He stops right before the last set of doors. โ€œIโ€™m sorry this happened, Iโ€™ll try and get health and safety sorted, but Iโ€™m not sorry we met, Iโ€™d love to say sorry to you in anyway possible though, so would I be able to get your number? Iโ€™d love to spend a good time with you, darling, some time when you arenโ€™t in physical pain.โ€ He jokingly adds in. The hazed over eyes that were once under the bright lights are now clear and genuine. You donโ€™t even know how to feel anymore, everything is so much for you. Youโ€™d be stupid not to give your biggest most unlikely-to-reciprocate-crush your number, however it takes a moment to even register what to do. After what feels like forever, your body finally registers and you tell him your digits, as well as your email because your overwhelmed brain spills everything out by accident.
โ€œThank you for not reacting like a crazy screaming fan, this has been the best interaction Iโ€™ve ever had because youโ€™ve treated me like a normal human.โ€ He stammered. You look up to meet his eyes, they look intrigued, like heโ€™s working out a puzzle. Youโ€™ve never seen him like this. Not performing. You guess youโ€™ve never really contemplated how he is when heโ€™s not performing, because youโ€™ve never truly seen it. โ€œI think I didnโ€™t react like that because my head is about to explode at the moment, however you are still human, so we all deserve to be treated like humans.โ€ You declare. You donโ€™t know how you speak so frankly, itโ€™s a miracle you havenโ€™t passed out. โ€œVery wise words.โ€ He nods in approval,
โ€œIโ€™m sorry but Iโ€™m going to have to leave now doll, but it was lovely meeting you and I hope you enjoy the rest of the show!โ€ He kisses your cheek like a date leaving for the night and jogs off down the maze-like alleys of the under-stage area.
What just happened? You stand in the hall in shock. Did Jeon JK actually just hold your hand, kiss your cheek, put his arm around your waist, AND take care of you? This was all too much. You decided to ponder it all later before you had an aneurysm and enjoy what was left of the night.
You walk through the doors and find your best friend in the sea of people. He wears a worried look and is right by the railing where you fell. โ€œWhat the hell just happened? Are you okay?!โ€ He barked. His hair was pushed back like heโ€™d been running his hand through it, a nervous habit you knew he had.
You reach up your arms to him like a toddler and he pulls you up and over the barricade as easy as if you weighed nothing. He sets you down and looks at you, worried.
โ€œAs much as I want to tell you now I think my brain might explode so as curious as you are Iโ€™m going to tell you this all at home. However I assure you, I am fine.โ€ You giggle at how absurd this all is, pulling Tae into a hug. It stabilises you and helps you know that you are real and youโ€™re ok. This isnโ€™t a dream and no matter how bad your head is banging itโ€™ll all be clear soon.
The rest of the night passes by in a hazy euphoric blur.
