week 2

[arsholes]

[One week down and (if the Alchemist's promise is to be believed) just three more to go. In the past week royalty has been bullied, explicitly non-Satanic chairs were ordered and you began the pact-bonding process with your new proprietor of mercantile wares, ✨Garfield the Deals Warlock✨.

All in all, a surprisingly good week despite the kidnapping and looming threat of death. We'll see how long that lasts.


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

✨WEEKLY DEALS✨
1. The Cloak of Duplication - An ancient vampiric artifact, when worn it changes your appearance and voice to perfectly mimic another individual of your choosing. (You still have to sell the act, though.) [5 coins] SOLD
2. The Battle Axe of Hatred - A sick as hell electric guitar with an energy that feels like it is powered by the screaming of an ancient and evil lord- or at least once was. It has a signature on the body that simply says "Ron" and looks like it might have been written in blood. [5 coins]
3. The Jable - Put down your keys and stay a while. [2 coins]


✨LEFTOVER STOCK AT 50% MARK-UP✨
1. The Tingler - The whole hand tingles from wearing this ring, as if more blood rushes through the area. [2 coins]
2. Christine Jr. - A tiny red convertible. It's powered by pedals like a bicycle, with a steering wheel. For some reason it makes you think of old men in silly hats. [6 coins]



(( OOC: Don't forget to submit your orders for any threads that aren't with the Alchemist or Garfield! The Alchemist and Garfield both have "office hours" now so feel free to reach out to them. The compact functions have also been updated and don't forget activity check!

This week is where the real game begins, so get in your regains and CR while you can. >:3 ))

[seaweedwrap]

[huh?] Even though he sounds like a not-great guy?

[seaweedwrap]

Wow, golly, that sure makes me want someone like you there!

[seaweedwrap]

Frostbite? [Yike!] Isn't that where your whole body goes numb?

[seaweedwrap]

[alsdfsklds awkward fireman's carry is very much not his preferred form of transport]

Oof--alright, shoulder in spleen, you can put me down now!

[seaweedwrap]

Hey, I'm all ears. The library's nice, I guess, or the Music Room but this place doesn't seem to have a lot of nice places to just kick your feet up, y'know?

[he tilts his head a bit] Is Alfea the same way?

[draconite]

Ah! What a terribly sneaky trick!

[ Her eye darts from one illusion to the next to try and pick out exactly which one she needs to go for – but of course, she has no way to tell. So instead, she simply picks at random and goes charging for the one still closest to her. ]

[predecir]

No, you don't get it. I'm from the most important family in town, and everyone still hates me. If being a Madrigal didn't make that happen, nothing's going to.

[Really, though, the lack of romance is the least of Bruno's issues.]

[predecir]

Hey, if I had really high bars for everything, I'd never be happy.

[And he's fine! Reasonably content at times!]

[draconite]

Ohoh! And there are ties and adhesives in the storage room, are there not? Could we affix the knives to some of these weapons, perhaps? It wouldn't do much to improve their construction, but fighting with them would be a bit more interesting at least!

[ THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN ]

[rikonstructed]

Unless you're much stronger than you look? Anywhere else.

[Yeah, he's moving the parchment pointedly over towards the nearest wood surface before he lifts the hammer.

And skimming the announcement again and just having the worst premonition right now about how pleased Baldr is about to be.]

You're going through a lot of trouble to plan this when I doubt anyone has pajamas.

[draconite]

I suppose it's difficult to fail at something as simple as a sandwich...

[ Said with an air of resignation that implies she has, however, seen someone fail at making a sandwich with her very own eye. ]

Though if this truly is some sort of school, wouldn't you imagine there would be staff providing our meals for us?

[draconite]

Oooh, a story!

[ Given the way her face lights up and the speed with which she scoots over to his side, that's exactly the right thing to say. ]

I'd love to hear it! I've tried to make my way through the stories in the library but none of them are to my taste...

[amitiesbind]

[ olive takes this chance to actually look at the flyers. ]

A... pajama party?

[amitiesbind]

You'd think. Apparently it's easy enough to get us the ingredients...

[amitiesbind]

Well, ghosts and spirits would be part of what Batman fights, sometimes. But... there are some pretty dangerous people in Gotham, even if Batman isn't the best at handling them.

[amitiesbind]

The first one. He's our librarian.

[ and also '66 villain The Bookworm, but like. he keeps his jobs separate. ]

[amitiesbind]

He trained most of the decent heroes. And without him, there's a lot of dangerous people it would be hard for... Superman or someone to take the time to come over and fight.

[draconite]

I– yes, as you can very well see!

[ Confusion and irritation make her snap out a response without thinking and she balls her hands into fists against the barrier. ]

What's going on? What am I doing in here?

[twibeast]

[ He sets the harp aside and rises to his feet. ]

You attacked Sir Bruno.

[ He steps closer to the barrier ]

The others felt very strongly that we couldn’t just let you be after that, lest you try again, so I offered to put you behind one of my barriers for now.

[predecir]

Oh! Really? Well, sure...

[Let him just produce a notepad from somewhere within his voluminous ruana! This baby can hold so many pockets!]

Ah...well, that's the next episode of Casa de las Ratas, you'd be missing a lot of context there...oh, this is new.

[It is new! And also very much some kind of pulpy telenovela romantic drama - but with more thriller elements this time! He's been wanting to edge a little more towards darker elements, now that Dolores is older and all. The heroine is suspected of murdering her own father to gain control of the family winery? She has a mysterious stalker? Bruno does voices and gets really into it, this is a Whole-Ass Performance. It kinda ends at a weird moment, though.]

...aaaaand that's where I left off. These are just costume designs...

[twibeast]

…What?

[ And then his tail shoots up as h what she says fully registers ]

Of course not! I’m trying to feed it!

[strongestfeelings]

Oh. In that case-- yes. But it's not all they should eat.

You may have to make a request of our other cat friend.

[encelevenemus]

I am. Why, what of it?

[predecir]

[shrug]

I don't know. Just never met a ghost before. I might have ghost stories, but I've never actually seen anything like that myself, ha...

[He feels like one often enough, though. He spends all his time in the house, around everyone, yet he's never really there.]

What is it like...?

[strongestfeelings]

Yes. They make a good deal of making everything seem much more... community-friendly, and there are the grounds, but it's basically the same. We had a common room within the dorm, but my dormmates and I didn't get along until very recently. And everywhere else, there were always eyes on me.

I could only really relax, or be myself, in Sky's dorm. [The light shifts again, forming a more pink light.] Which is just wrong. A girl like me, hiding away.
