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 ))

[Sunday will find Wu walking around the Tower and putting up sheets of parchment with nails and a hammer he got from the tinkerer's shop because THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO PIN STUFF UP RN. This man has clearly never handled a hammer or nails in his life--he's carrying around the leaflet of papers, the hammer, and a box of nails, and carefully, slowly tapping the nail into the top and bottom of the papers to hang them up, one by one.

If inspected the parchment reads:]

PAJAMA PARTY
You are cordially invited to a pajama party on Monday night starting at 6pm in the Great Hall. It's getting too boring around here, so we need something to spice it up! Wear your pajamas and bring a pillow and a blanket (and maybe a mattress if you want to be really comfortable) and get really for a good time! Baiju, plum wine and hors d'oeurvres will be provided but bring some other kinda food or drink also to share. Also bring ideas for games and other fun things to do!
~ Prince Wu

[unfortunately, not only is Wu trying to hammer these into the wood beams, but also the stone. Because of course he is. He's definitely making some frustrated noises as he does so, and then perhaps, one time, he lets his frustration get the better of him, and he swings the hammer down a bit too hard, and--]

Yeowch!! [catches his finger, which of course makes him jerk his hand back and drop the hammer which unfortunately is going to land on his foot, which makes him yelp all over again, stumbling back--at which point his foot catches on the stone of the floor and...yep. Down he goes onto his back on the stone floor. There's a moment, two, before Wu mutters] Wu down.

[in the evening, Wu can be found in the Library, where he's sitting at one of the tables, reading a certain book and taking notes on some parchment.

Sort of.

Part of the parchment is filled with notes, and then the rest of it seem to be doodles. Mostly stick figures, and then a cartoonish badgermole here and there. Maybe a little heart with S + W in it. Don't worry about it.]

[It's so charming to watch Wu attempt to focus, that she almost decides against disrupting him. Almost.

Stella breezes by, then perches on the edge of the table he's at. Use a chair? No way. She's got her own book-- something about Illusion magic, but she doesn't seem very interested in it right now. Instead, she leans over his workspace, and with a snap of her fingers and a glow of her eyes, she's made a floating orb of light to hover over his workspace. It's the perfect level of light for reading, and even Stella feels a little impressed with her own work.]

What are you reading?

[seaweedwrap]

[Wu startles a little, blinking as she sits on the edge of the table, then watches as she creates a little orb of light--and his expression immediately turns into a grin, delighted.] Princess! [there's your greeting, Stella. he is obviously pleased as punch to see her.]

Ah, well--[and he puts a hand in the book to hold his spot while the other flips it closed to show her the cover.] Just a little preparatory work for after this month when I can get home and get my kingdom back from Kuvira.

[his grin turns into that "suave" smirk as he opens the book back up, leaning his elbow on the table and resting his chin in his palm so he can look up at her] After our date, of course~

[strongestfeelings]

[She plants her hand on the table to stabilize herself, then leans back a little to bask in the light. She even gives her hair a nice little toss, clearly showing off.]

Don't you think you ought to reclaim your kingdom first?

Around the tower

[cuttingremark]

[Loki looks down at Wu laying on the ground.]

Are you okay?

[seaweedwrap]

Stone is hard. [he probably is fine just...achey. and whiney. and it absolutely comes out in his voice] And my finger and foot and back hurt.

[cuttingremark]

Oh my, you're just falling apart, aren't you? [He is notably not offering Wu any help.]

entrance hall

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Wah! Wu-san!

[She runs over to fuss and picks up the fallen things.]

Are you okay? That could really hurt!

[seaweedwrap]

It really hurt! [that is a straight up whine] My finger hurts and my foot hurts and my back hurts--I think I broke something! [he didn't break anything, he's fine, just dramatic.]

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

No way! We have to get you some ice or something!

[Mei looks him over and carefully pokes him a few times.]

It doesn't look like anything's broken. Can you move?

Flyers

[nomansbosom]

ROYALTY DOWN!

[Yeah, Finn's gonna squat down by Wu.]

How bad is it, your highness?

[seaweedwrap]

[ROYALTY DOWN IS RIGHT!! Wu whines, pitifully] It hurts! I dunno if I'm gonna make it.

[nomansbosom]

Stay with me, Prince Wu.

[Yeah there's an awkward fireman's carry happening here.]

tower

[predecir]

Sorry! Sorry, sorry, here...

[Totally unclear why Bruno is apologizing, but hey - he's got an icepack for that hand!]

[seaweedwrap]

[Wu is gonna blink from the floor up at Bruno. He is, uh, not moving yet]

What's that?

[EYEING THE ICE PACK]

[predecir]

It's ice. For your hand.

[still inexplicably guilty-looking!]

tower

[amitiesbind]

[ She doesn't know this guy. She has not properly met this guy. But like... ]

... Rough time using that hammer?

[seaweedwrap]

I didn't know hammers could be so dangerous! [that is definitely a whine lmao]

[amitiesbind]

[ oh gotham city would obliterate this man, no one would have to do anything, he would breathe air and learn about the joker and die- ]

There's a reason why they're weapons sometimes.

[ a beat. ]

... Need some help?

[rikonstructed]

[Well, Nuadha was making his way over to inspect the parchment. But now he's inspecting Wu instead, because. What.]

...I see that. Do you not know how to get back up?

[seaweedwrap]

It hurts to much to get up! [someone's a dramatic baby]

flyers, sometime when Wu is NOT injuring himself

[cakerights]

[he squints at the note]

... Are pajamas required?

[seaweedwrap]

Hm?? [Wu glances down, spotting the cookie guy just as he finishes hammering in the second nail at the bottom of the poster--and he looks almost affronted at the question]

It's a pajama party!

around the tower

[philomachy]

[..........really]

This happens to you a lot.

[seaweedwrap]

[oh boy OF COURSE IT'S THAT GUY

Wu is going to just

stare stubbornly up at the ceiling]

No, it doesn't. I meant to do that.
