Who: EVERYONE.
What: Swap meet.
Where: The Apache and surrounding environs.
When: Sukkardi the 14th of Haneden
Notes:

• Swap Meet Spreadsheet: Pre-chosen swaps are green. Assigned are blue. There were a few characters that were selected more than once, so objects were assigned on a first-come first-serve basis. If you have any issues or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the mod team.
• For objects that might not be immediately apparent as belonging to their owners, there may be a picture or name attached, or players are welcome to have their characters ~just know~ it's for them. Drr drr drr, bb.
• Party post nights are a great time to come join the chatroom.
• The topic threads are just suggestions; if you've got somewhere else that your characters simply must be, make your own thread.

Warnings: None yet. Please put warnings up on individual threads.

The Apache is much the same as it always is: dimly lit, with the jukebox playing in the background, and the bartender serving whatever's on tap.

Sebastian steps back, acting as if the locket is a poisonous snake ready to strike. Unconsciously, his hand drops down to where he once kept a wand and the absence of it startles him for a moment.

"I know that thing well. It's cursed and the toxin travels through touch. If your temper's short tonight it's already working." Keeping an eye on the locket and Ivan, Sebastian empties out the rest of his cigarettes into a pocket to use the packet as an impromptu envelope.

"I can't say I've noticed." Ivan watches Sebastian, trying to get a read on him. The reaction seems genuine enough. "Then again, some toxins rather lose their effect on the dead."

After a moment, (reluctantly?) he releases the locket into the cigarette box.

[heardmermaids]

"It's not a toxin, like a poison, but a curse that slowly changes your personality until it has control." As it drops into the box, Sebastian shudders and looks that particular sort of queasy that is often associated with painful dentist's visits.

"Do you know whose here it is?" Ivan is more intrigued than put off, which is probably just perversity.

[heardmermaids]

"I could take a few guesses, but nothing certain," he says folding the top of the packet shut. Once that's done, there's a hissing rattle from the locket itself.

[deservesadaisy]

"You're not afraid of retribution for misdirecting it?" he asks, raising his eyebrows.

He's almost sorry he gave the thing up, now.

[heardmermaids]

"I am." He's willing to risk whatever the punishment may be to prevent something like a horcrux going free among Baedal's (former) Death Eater population. "I suspect I'd best go to the temple and ask for lenience."

Once he's put a poisoned hatchet through the locket.

"What an intriguing you must come from," Ivan said. "What do you intend to do with the thing?"

He sounds less concerned than interested.
