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 ))

[amitiesbind]

Uh, I don't know.

[ She walks towards it. ]

I haven't used it yet - is it wood-burning, or...?

[draconite]

It seems to be. Or rather, it would have to be, wouldn't it? What other method would there be of keeping it hot?

[amitiesbind]

[ oh no is this girl from the past?? quick preserve the time-space continuum- ]

At this point in history? Not much, unless there's magic...?

[ way 2 go. anyway olive is going to go ahead and join her in examining the fire. not to pre-judge but bryn did u fuck with it. ]

[draconite]

[ she fucked with it!!! it's nothing too disastrous though, it just looks like she might have crowded the flames a bit too much for such an enclosed space. ]

I certainly hope not. Magic and fire do not go together.

[amitiesbind]

Not a pyromancy fan?

[ she reaches over to grab a poker. ]

I think I can fix it. Stand back for a sec?

[draconite]

You could say as much.

[ With Olive taking over, Bryn scoots back to give the fire a wide berth. ]

After this, I think I'll be sticking to the store room.

[amitiesbind]

That's definitely where the easy food lives.

[ And Olive is going to... shift some things around to give the fire some space. Not pulling her attention from it as she start to get it to grow. ]

I've been mostly sticking to sandwiches myself.

[draconite]

I suppose it's difficult to fail at something as simple as a sandwich...

[ Said with an air of resignation that implies she has, however, seen someone fail at making a sandwich with her very own eye. ]

Though if this truly is some sort of school, wouldn't you imagine there would be staff providing our meals for us?

[amitiesbind]

You'd think. Apparently it's easy enough to get us the ingredients...

[draconite]

... That's a good question, now that I think of it. Where exactly are all these ingredients coming from?

[ Is Garfield the Deals Warlock keeping them fed and watered??? ]

[amitiesbind]

I know Serpents and Spells, this game Maps plays, has a magic spell that lets you make food, but... that's just a game.

[ She frowns. ]

Even if he can teleport, it's weird to imagine The Alchemist popping out to the Farmers' Market in the mornings.

[draconite]

Do you think he wears the hood and keeps his face covered while he's out gathering supplies to feed us? It's quite the image...

[amitiesbind]

What, you wouldn't trust that face coming into your store and asking where you keep the eggs?

[draconite]

I'd have him out on his beak before he could even start making small talk about the weather!

[amitiesbind]

Can't let hooligans like that into your place of business. He'd run down the property value.

[draconite]

... I suppose that does raise a question, though. Just what is that mask supposed to be hiding?

[amitiesbind]

That's a good question. If it's not "someone here would recognize him," then it's a lifestyle choice.

[ she shrugs. ]

Maybe he felt like he was too generic of a wizard?

[draconite]

Perhaps... but he doesn't seem like the self conscious type to me. If anything, he seems like a terribly arrogant sort. Perhaps the mask is part of some sort of persona or disguise...?

[amitiesbind]

... Do you think he just thinks it looks cool? That seems like what some of the villains back in Gotham are concerned with.

[draconite]

. . . you know, I think you just might be correct. I wouldn't put it past him in the least.

[amitiesbind]

I can't believe there's someone in a flying animal costume I respect less than Batman.
