week 2

[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 ))

[ Felix is in here later in the day, so here he is.

He stops upon noticing a manuscript left out in the open. He'll begin to read it because he got curious, intending just to skim it.

He begins to look around for anyone in the library. ]


Anyone in here?

[ He'll carry the notebook out of the library and begin to look around, not sure how to find who is responsible for this. He assumes they've forgotten it and so it'll be best to track them down, but he hasn't thought on how exactly he'll find them. So he'll start with questioning everyone he so happens to walk by (or intending to so for purposes of this he can manage to miss most people, probably.) Or holding up the notebook when he thinks he's caught their attention.

Does he ever catch Bruno's attention this way? ]

[Nope! Doesn't seem to belong to anyone, and also Bruno is nowhere to be seen!

Granted, somewhere later in the evening, there might be some muffled thumping and scrabbling noises from behind a wall.]
replacementshield: (> Glance)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-28 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...Felix isn't going to give up, though. So he is going to be wandering around in between meals or training sessions.

It'll be kind of a pity if it isn't finished. Anyway, here he is, in the evening and when he hears something, he stops walking for a moment. ]


Hello? Anyone there?

[ He is a little tense, but more curious, and comes closer to the sounds, squinting. ]
predecir: (48;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-28 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Crap.

Bruno freezes up, and holds his breath for a few seconds before realizing - hey, wait, why is he doing this?]


Uh...yeah, sorry. Didn't realize anyone was out there.
replacementshield: (> So an idiot walks in... (It's Sylvain))

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-28 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

I didn't realize anyone was in the walls, either.

[ He is not sure what to make of this. ]

...How did you even get in there?
predecir: (39;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-28 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Mysterious magic portal.

[As you do!]

Hopefully it'll come back at some point, I guess...
replacementshield: (> Ugh)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-28 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wait, so... ]

...So you're just stuck in there?

[ Because, hm - well, maybe he can try to figure out where to locate the portal or something. 'Something' being maybe find a portal against alongside the wall that the other can make contact with even if he's on the other side? Either way, it seems like a bad idea to just leave it. ]

Where were you when the portal popped up, anyway?
predecir: (71;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-28 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
The library? This is...just one of the hallways, right?

[He's got a decent head for the very specific skill of figuring out how wall interiors map to the building!]

I guess I am, but I can probably figure something out. I've got a good three or four days of food on me.
replacementshield: (> What's that?)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-28 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It is, but...

[ Yeah he could, actually. But, though Felix is not exactly the most personable person around, he isn't a cruel person.

Wait a minute. Gears start to turn in his head. ]


...If you left behind a notebook, I think I have it.

Anyway, I can't just leave you in there for three or four days. Even with that much food, living in the walls for that amount of time is going cause trouble.

[ He is also wondering who the hell carries that much food on them but you know what he can come back to that once he finds a way to help this guy. He's touching along the walls already, and looking around the area at this very moment, even. ]
predecir: (84;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-29 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
...oh, I forgot about that.

[Huh. Oops. It's a little less important than the matter at hand, though. Also, Bruno's conception of "three or four days' food" is probably a little different from most peoples'!]

Well, there's not really any good way out. Everything's made of stone. No secret passages, though!
replacementshield: (> Oh really?)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-29 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, it's definitely less important for now.

He scowls and just continues looking anyway. ]


You sound so calm about this.

[ Felix knows he would not be as calm and would have caused quite a ruckus. Like definitely louder noises than what the other had been doing earlier. ]
predecir: (21;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-29 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, it's not so bad back here. Fairly spacious, floors are pretty solid. Which is good, because it is dark.
replacementshield: (> ...What am I looking at here)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-29 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...goddess. ]

What?

What would you consider as bad in the first place?
predecir: (72;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-29 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[......]

I don't know, a pit...?
replacementshield: (> Hm)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-29 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Raise your standards.

[ Felix continues to search for a portal...with little to no luck. ]
predecir: (14;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-29 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Wu keeps on saying that, too...

[geez, maybe they have a point]

I don't think you can get through these very easy. It's pretty solid stone, I couldn't find any cracks.
replacementshield: (> Ugh)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-29 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Listen to him too.

[ Honestly he doesn't know Wu all that much but this is something they agree on, so it's whatever. ]

Ugh, I was still hoping for the impossible...or finding a portal and directing you to it. I'm not going to stop looking, got it?

[ He's too stubborn for that. Watch it appear here the moment he looks in another room or something, though. ]

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-29 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, the portal closed as soon as I walked into it. Maybe if you go in the library, it'll open again...?

[He's not really sure, he's just taking shots in the dark here.]
replacementshield: (> Taking up singing lessons)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-29 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...Right. That's a good idea.

[ Felix takes off to the library, hurrying to see if the portal does indeed open there.

Look he has no idea how this works but he's going to try anything at this point. Well, not anything but everything that is within reason. ]
predecir: (28;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-30 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bruno follows! Not exactly by the same path, of course, but he's fairly good at navigating walls. He's confident he can make his way back to the library, maybe even quicker via these passages.]

Anything? I don't see anything...
replacementshield: (> Ugh)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-31 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't see anything. Not yet.

[ He then veers into the library and begins to tear some books off of the shelf. Maybe the portal is hiding! ]

But, it's only a matter of time.

[ Felix grumbles, naturally blaming their captor for this. This is ridiculous. ]

[Bruno sticks his hands into his pockets - what has it got in its pocketses, precious?]

I wish I could do something to help...

[Man, remember the library? He misses the library! Oh, shit, a portal just spontaneously opened to the library! On the other side, Bruno blinks owlishly - it's dang dark in there.]
replacementshield: (> What's that?)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-04-03 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, keeping an eye out will have to do for now.

[ Felix continues ripping books off the shelves.

Sorry to whomever wants the place to look particularly nice. If a portal appeared behind him or something he hasn't quite noticed.

Where did it appear, anyway? ]

[personal profile] predecir 2022-04-03 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, uh.

[We can go with behind him! Bruno steps out, turning to look at the portal.]

It's back, actually.
