Re: Cornerwitch - Bakura

It's basically any old, abandoned looking shop where the shopkeeper is... not quite right and anything you get there is probably cursed and/or has one hell of a string attached. Other traits tend to run along the lines of it looking totally normal when you go there the first time, only when you go looking again, it's long abandoned, or just flat out gone.


...There a handy reference sheet somewhere covering the whole bricks and ritual thing?

Nope, just this comic about a cornerwitch, which doesn't cover asking bricks questions and is more about the kind of objects one might Deal for: http://charminglyantiquated.tumblr.com/post/113043123123/a-short-comic-about-witches-and-wishes-and-wanting If you want to keep it simple, what it says on the tin: simply talking to bricks or concrete and looking at graffiti.

I love the idea of its existence being in question, but that may make accessibility to a Plot Role more difficult, so try to keep "office hours" vague, e.g. it "sometimes" vanishes. It also sounds more like Elsewhere influence than something within the cornerwitch's power, so he may simply have taken advantage of a Thin Spot.

I assume the graffiti answers whatever he asked the bricks?

Most of those sorts of shops seem to run on the "When you go looking for them/have a need, you find them" sort of plot convenience. So something of a "...but there's nothing there." "Have you gone looking" "...well no, but--" "that's why it wasn't there." set up which seems to fit in perfectly.

And considering Bakura, finding a neat spot and camping out fits very well.
