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 ))

I was just looking around!

[OH GOD OH NO]

Really? That's it?

[ She huffs out an irritated little sigh. ]

You went and got my hopes up...

[Argh! Guilt! One of Bruno's many weaknesses!]

Well...hey, heh, it's not like I would've given you a good fight anyway. Look at me.

[He does sort of look unhealthily scrawny.]

[ An uuuuugggh that would make Charlie Brown proud. ]

I suppose not... but I'm just so bored! There's hardly anything to do here!

Well...you could make something? I've been doing a lot of that, we've got a lot of tools...

Like what? I'm really not the tinkering type and there's only so much fun you can have banging away at a piano by yourself.

[Bruno shrugs. The kids he's used to entertaining were much younger, and also that was ten years ago.]

I'll listen to you play the piano. Or I can read you one of the stories I've been working on...? It's been a...pretty long time since I got any real feedback.
draconite: (beam | the heroes on the good side)

[personal profile] draconite 2022-03-30 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, a story!

[ Given the way her face lights up and the speed with which she scoots over to his side, that's exactly the right thing to say. ]

I'd love to hear it! I've tried to make my way through the stories in the library but none of them are to my taste...
predecir: (19;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-30 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Really? Well, sure...

[Let him just produce a notepad from somewhere within his voluminous ruana! This baby can hold so many pockets!]

Ah...well, that's the next episode of Casa de las Ratas, you'd be missing a lot of context there...oh, this is new.

[It is new! And also very much some kind of pulpy telenovela romantic drama - but with more thriller elements this time! He's been wanting to edge a little more towards darker elements, now that Dolores is older and all. The heroine is suspected of murdering her own father to gain control of the family winery? She has a mysterious stalker? Bruno does voices and gets really into it, this is a Whole-Ass Performance. It kinda ends at a weird moment, though.]

...aaaaand that's where I left off. These are just costume designs...
draconite: (gasp | awful little devil i could be)

[ And, to my total dismay... Bryn also gets really into it?? I wish I could pretend she's just starved of fiction while stuck here, but no. This is exactly the sort of stuff she loves back home as it is. She's so invested – to the point that when she realizes they're on a cliffhanger, she sort of – grabs at Bruno's arm in dismay and gives him a little shake?? ]

Wait, wait, wait! You can't stop there! I have to know what happens next! Who was the real killer?!

[ She's HOOKED ]

[In a mock deep voice:]

It's a mystery, Bryn~ [And then in his normal one, with a bit of a nervous edge!] I'll write more of it, I promise. This kind of thing is a lot of what I do for fun, back home.
draconite: (happy | because we're)

[personal profile] draconite 2022-04-03 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it just for yourself? Surely you must be some sort of playwright or performer, with that sort of panache.

[ A word that has been used to describe Bruno perhaps never before in the history of mankind??? ]
predecir: (60;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-04-03 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, me and one of my nieces. We don't talk a lot, but she'll usually let me know how she feels about the plot twists somehow.

[That's him, Mr. Panache! Honestly he might've had some at some point before he was crushed by the unbearable weight of existing as Bruno!]
draconite: (smile | maybe you're killing me)

[personal profile] draconite 2022-04-04 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Well, then! If you'd like, I can be the one giving you the feedback you need while we're here! It'll be something to pass the time with, won't it?

[ Bryn rly said "let me beta your fics" huh ]

[oh my god, bryn]

That sounds fun! I used to do things like that with my sisters all the time! [for a while, anyway] It's easy to miss things in your own work, you know? Plus, you want an audience when you write - I get by without one, but you still do.
