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 ))

Why not? [he tilts his head a bit, curious]

[spitessier]

I'm allergic to cats. They're my favorite animals and I think they're very cute, but I wouldn't ever be able to even be in the same room as them.

[And here is a representation of his soul and heart, somewhat cat-shaped, hah]

[seaweedwrap]

[Katsuya what the fuck that's adorable] Cats are pretty cute. My great-aunt was also allergic to animals, so she banned any of them in the Upper Ring for a bit.

[he brightens]

But that's good that your Persona is cat-like! I bet the ladies love it. [he smirks]

[spitessier]

Do you think? I haven't...asked her if she likes it--I meant to say I haven't asked any of the ladies I'm with like it.

[Katsuya coughs. Yeah, he has a crush on one of the gals in his Persona 2 game team, hah]

[seaweedwrap]

[OH. BOY. HE CAUGHT THAT SLIP. Wu's face absolutely lights up when he does, before there's a sly grin that's appearing on his face, curling the corners of his mouth as he leans in, hands on his hips] Why, Katsuya, you sly dog~ There's a dame you like, isn't there?

[Hello Katsuya he's back in your space again, reaching out to put his hands on his shoulders and urge him to sit down] Sit, sit, sit! You and I have gotta have a gab session right now!

[spitessier]

A gab session--why? What? Why?

[He definitely slipped and is now reaping the consequences of said slip. It's not for nothing this crush was something his Shadow Self forcibly dragged out in the open, he tries not to listen to how he feels, hah]

[seaweedwrap]

[
Wu 🤝 Katsuya's Shadow Self
dragging things out of Katsuya he
would rather not talk about

Anyway THERE'S NO ESCAPE FROM THE GAB SESH BUD]

Because! You didn't tell me you had a crush! [he is going to make sure they're both seated on the floor of the training room, right across from each other] Tell me everything.

[spitessier]

Wait, since when do you moonlight as some sort of relationship counselor?!

[Too late, Katsuya, you sat down too, you're in for the long haul]

[seaweedwrap]

Uhh, since always. [he says it in that "duh" kind of voice, but actually he just really loves gossip]

So? Spill! What's her name?

[spitessier]

...Maya Amano. I have known her for a while. Met her when I began an investigation.

[And since then he has a huge crush on her, that's for sure. They get along pretty well, but she, being the protagonist of his game, can't deepen the relationship because she has to be a mostly silent protagonist, welp]

[seaweedwrap]

[oh bud that is SUCH bad luck, falling for the silent protag.] Of course you did. [you cops and your investigations] What kind of investigation was it? Was she a witness? A fellow detective?

[spitessier]

A witness, pretty much. She and her roommate got involved in an incident, and we all got attacked while together. [And that led to them all gaining their Personas, yeah] I asked them to work with me so I could protect them.

[seaweedwrap]

That sounds like you. Always the cop. [Wu, you've known him like a week.] So you work with them now! Right?

[spitessier]

For now. Once our mission is over we all probably will go our separate ways.

[His Persona game is not so big into team camaraderie as the rest of the games, which I find hilarious]

Or...maybe not, with Maya. Perhaps I'll try to see her again. If I can.
