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 ))

[She wraps her arms around him, protectively draping herself over him.]

I mean it. I'll boil them alive, if I have to.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

It sounds good that you have somebody trying to help you! At least, in a way that isn't kidnapping you to a death tower, I mean.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

[Mei covers her face and squeaks.]

Right in front of everybody?

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

A real magical artifact? What kinds of things do you use it for?

[strongestfeelings]

[RIGHT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. Sorry, Mei. She doesn't apologize. She just kind of. Tosses the blankets over both their heads again.


They're busy, come back later.]

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Still, I think that kind of thing is amazing! Especially if it's not something everybody can do.

[predecir]

[Bruno cringes. This is all, perhaps, striking a little too close to home. The Madrigals aren't royalty or anything like that, far from it, but they're something like leaders to the village. They have responsibilities. Ones that are more important than anyone's personal feelings.

Bruno knows he's not the only one who found it difficult at times. He used to be close to his sisters; he's heard their troubles. But he is the only one who was too weak to shoulder his share.]

You...you were the first king?

[At this point he's honestly just fishing for something to get away from this topic.]

[seaweedwrap]

[It takes a whole lot of effort not to flinch at that name--but he kind of does anyway lmao]

I--[and all that pent up angry, that yell, seems to disappate out of him, suddenly, and his shoulders slump, like even that much has Taken It Out Of Him]--I don't know. I don't think I'd really decided on my course of action until now. Or if I had, I didn't know that I had.

So that's probably why I haven't told her myself.

[encelevenemus]

[unfortunately, somnus is not one to read social situations well. shocking, i'm sure.]

...I was, yes. The kingdom sought someone to unify them, and it is the calling of the Lucis Caelum bloodline to do so.

[philomachy]

Then you have your answer. And your path.

[strongestfeelings]

You didn't happen to come across any sun-like jewelry just before this, did you? [god. changelings, burned ones, and now.... whatever bruno was, all using the crown jewels.

Her mother was going to murder her.]

[seaweedwrap]

Of course! There's so much I want to show you in Republic City--it'd be a shame if you came and missed half of it.

[seaweedwrap]

[he quiets a bit, though]

Stella...can I ask you something?

[seaweedwrap]

I know you mean it. But I don't think you'll have to boil them alive, even though you can. [it's not chiding in any way. If anything, a little amused] I'll leave that to your judgement~

[strongestfeelings]

What? Some other plan?

[shes busy with her cake boo like ask her later-- but fine.]

Yes?

[amitiesbind]

You'd think.

[ Well, the meds didn't control the powers, but... she doesn't feel like going into the mental illness. ]

But... it's too late now.

[philomachy]

I would like to simply cut to the chase. But if I must wait longer for this peaceful façade to crumble, so be it.

[strongestfeelings]

No. Probably not. I daresay everyone had gotten the idea by now. [she's p much told everyone as much--]

But I can. And I will, if I have to.

[seaweedwrap]

[Oh. Somehow...there's a straightening in his spine, then. Something resolute?]

...yeah. I guess I do.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

So because you think it's going to go wrong, then it's just a matter of waiting, huh...

[seaweedwrap]

[he pauses for a moment, and then--]

Thank you, Prince Zenos, for your advice and assistance in this matter.

[yep he's gonna give him a bow. He knows his manners!]

[strongestfeelings]

It is, isn't it? But it is nice. Not at all what I expected, for such a powerful warrior. [She pauses, and then ties off the braid with her own hair tie.]

How did you fight, with all of it in your face, all of the time?

[seaweedwrap]

[hhhhh]

...it was an accident, wasn't it? The thing with your ex best friend. [he's....had a hunch for a bit. He doesn't sound hopeful, like that's what he wants the answer to be. He says it like a conclusion--like that's what he truly thinks it is.]

[seaweedwrap]

Here. [and Wu is reaching behind Zenos' chair where he propped the sword and just kinda...dragging it out because he can't quite lift it. He's displaying it so Zenos can clearly see it...but not handing it over yet.]

[predecir]

Oh! Yeah, I got a ring like that out of one of those boxes! It's somewhere here...

[He shoved it into one of his many pockets when he entered the wall. Giant jewelry is not really the best thing to wear for wall exploration, and honestly not really his thing to begin with - he'd only tried it on for a second, because who wouldn't?]
