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 ))

... Oh. [She's the one who should look guilty here, but, uh--- Stella. So instead, she just tries to look a little less annoyed, and reaches for the book.]

I thought you were just-- right. Anyway.

It says Cerberus.

[twibeast]

[ His tail goes completely still and his eyes widen. ]

Wait… truly? It really says Cerberus?

[strongestfeelings]

[Stella bites back the retort on her tongue, something about not needing to waste her time more by making up things-- but he reminds her, strangely enough, a little bit of Terra. Not entirely-- no, Terra has that fake superiority thing about her that Orthus is lacking because fate the winx saga really fuckin said lets make absolutely all of our characters unlikeable but in the way that it had started to become painful, to mock or tease Terra more.

It was a bit like kicking a puppy, wasn't it?]

Yes. The Hound of Hades. A three-headed dog, guarding the gates of the underworld, who keeps the dead from leaving.

Human myth is very funny, isn't it? I don't think a dog has ever stopped me from doing anything. [...she's still stella, after all, gotta get a lil jab in there]

[twibeast]

[ He looks back down at the page, still in a bit of disbelief but also a little... sadly. ]

In... indeed it is. To think that place the gates of underworld is especially so.

[ ...yeah that's the bit he focuses on.

He turns back to Stella. ]

Thank you. I'm sorry I interrupted you.

[strongestfeelings]

[She could just leave it like that, and just let him go-- but again. He's really reminding her of Terra. So she decides to not be as cruel as she could be.]

It's fine. I wasn't actually doing anything-- I just don't want people to think I'm just available to do things for them.

What's with the book, anyway?

[twibeast]

Uh, well...

[ He looks back at it and then flips the pages to look at some of the other monsters. ]

I was hoping to try and learn how to read these eventually, especially since all the books looked so fascinating. I thought starting with one of these illustrated ones on a subject that looked familiar to me might help, but I ended up more so just entranced by them.
