Modern Home

While Winterhold was having another impromptu celebration, which seemed to be becoming a habit nowadays, Michael begins working on the interior of the Eye of the World. The first floor would be completely empty, as he had other plans for it... But the upper floors would be both the living area and the workshops.

Now that Michael had a completely secure place to do his own shit, he begins making the place habitat for a modern person... Plumbing had obviously been installed as the Spire was built, but putting in an actual toilet was the difficult part as none of the workers had any idea of what Michael actually wanted. Nor could he explain because he himself wasn't actually sure until he started working on it.

He also installed the solar panels he'd stolen from Highschool of the Dead to power the many electronics he'd have in the Spire, at least, until he could figure out a way to power his shit with the infinite magicka produced by the Eye of Magnus. Currently, he was utilising a light spell to power the panels even during the night.

Bedrooms, a large kitchen, bathrooms with king-sized baths and showers, library, enchanting and alchemy workshops, and most importantly, a big ass entertainment room with all the consoles, computers, games, and other media he'd stolen... It was a shame Dota 2 didn't exist in that zombie-infested world, otherwise he'd have snatched that shit up... Along with figuring out a way to connect to another world's internet... For now though, it would have to do.

He had many more unused rooms too, not to mention the warding scheme Rubick had taught him that allowed him to magically expand each room, granting even more space. The Spire's library looked like a less comprehensive Arcaeneum.

There were a few more problems here and there, but they could be fixed or ignored for later.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Welcome! To my, and your, humble abode!" Michael exclaims as he invites the girls inside.

"Uwha! It's! Empty..." Megumin mutters as she and the others walk inside.

A flick to her brain-case later and Michael was leading them all up the steps of the Spire, introducing them to the rooms as he walked by them.

"I-is that-?" Saya stutters out as she beholds the room before her.

Michael gives a sagely nod, "It is, go my apprentice. Meet your destiny."

...

"Youknow, I was never that into games..." Saya admits, taking great enjoyment from the duck-face Michael was giving.

He shakes his head and grabs Megumin by her robe's collar, "Fine, me and Megumin will play Fighterstreet on our own." he huffs.

"Isn't that a two-player game anyway?"

...

While Saya seemed determined to ruin his good mood, the others were quite interested in the modern technology he was introducing them to. Maria and Tiffania were baffled by the modern kitchen, and Illococoo locked herself in the bathroom for an hour or two so she could sit in the boiling hot bathtub... At least, that's what he assumed she was doing. That or irresponsibly using the bidet...

The girls were also impressed by the workshops he'd made, as they were far better than the ones even the College of Winterhold provided... Though, this was partly because he'd installed modern devices to be used there. From simple accurate electronic weighing scales, to centrifuges, to microscopes, and even properly cleaned and disinfected glassware. He was sure Tiffania would be able to create some truly great things here, that, or develop a completely new way to approach alchemy altogether.

After the tour was over everyone picked their respective rooms while Michael, Maria, and Tiffania attempted to prepare some food in the kitchen... Maria and Tiffania could certainly cook, but they weren't familiar with the equipment, nor the plants Michael was pulling out from his inventory... In the end the meal was alright, so it didn't really matter.

The day ended with Michael destroying everyone in Fighterstreet, Megumin even attempting to blindfold him at one point in her annoyance...

He appeased her, and everyone else however by finally giving out the various items he'd acquired and that were collecting dust in his inventory.

First, Megumin gets the Cloak of Flames after begging him for it... It wasn't all that useful on her but she liked the aesthetics so whatever...

Tiffania gets the Blink Dagger since manoeuvrability is one of her main issues in combat. Eventually she may be able to teleport around at will, but right now it's not feasible.

He gives Saya the Mystic Staff because she lacks any sort of focus, even if such a thing wasn't a requirement for Tamrielic magic.

Maria gets the Holy Locket as he thought it'd provide some comfort to know she could instantly rejuvenate someone without any prior preparation or casting.

Lastly, Illococoo... He didn't really have anything left to give her, unless he wanted to risk giving the dragon girl the Hand of Midas... Which would be a stupid thing to do... One moment she's walking down the street and the next she's turned someone's child into gold...

Shaking his head at the thought, Michael looks to the visibly bouncing Illococoo, "Your gift is different from the others Illu. I give you permission to use your dragon form." he says, causing the girl to freeze momentarily as she processes things.

"Yippeee! Can we go fly now!?"

"No, wait until tomorrow. Otherwise Korir and the guards might start shooting you with their ballistae."

"But we'll go once we wake up, right?" she says, getting uncomfortably close to his face.

"Yeah... Sure."

With that, the dragon girl rushes to her room and begins trying to force herself to sleep like a child waiting for their presents to be delivered by Santa... Who knew she was so excited to start flying again...
