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 ))

Comments

[draconite]

[ The further away she gets and the more obstacles put between her and her target, the louder she gets - a vicious little growl bubbling up from her chest that gets progressively nastier as she goes.

But it isn't until Zenos addresses her that it reaches its peak. At the word Princess, the growl erupts into a snarl and with her lips skinned back from her teeth, she lunged as if to take a bite out of him. ]

[cuttingremark]

[She ends up taking a bite out of thin air as Bruno has been replaced by an illusion and a srap of torn fabric in her hand.]

[philomachy]

[He doesn't even blink. Just holds her in place, absolutely unfazed, save for maybe the hint of a smirk on his face.]

Steady, now.

[twibeast]

That's enough!

[ Okay something needs to be done about her so she can be put somewhere to calm down at least and kept from the others so you know what? He's just going to do what he did to Fenrir when the other wouldn't back down.

He manifests one of his magic shields and bonks her with it, hopefully enough to either snap her out of this or knock her out. ]

[draconite]

[ Those of her who've sparred with her this week will know she's a hard headed girl in uh every way that phrase implies - but even she has her limits and a hard enough blow like that to the head is enough to have her slumping over in Zenos's grip at last, out cold. ]

[philomachy]

[Ah, there she goes. Suddenly so still. For the better, for now.

...He's more gentle than he was with Wu, at least, not just dropped her on her face. Just gonna... set her down on the floor. Gently, mostly.]

[encelevenemus]

Now what are we to do? She can not be trusted unattended, that much is clear.

[just in case, the phantom swords remained manifested]

[rikonstructed]

I can exoflect restraints, but I question if they would hold her.

[Nuadha's hand is still held out from his side, ready to cast if anyone else looks like they're about to do something inadvisable.]

[cakerights]

She does seem more than willing to take the Alchemist up on his offer. But we don't have any sort of dungeon, do we?

[twibeast]

[ He sighs, letting some of the tension out. ]

If need be... I can create a barrier to keep her confined for a while.

[ But he's also not super... fond of the idea?? Even though she just... tried all this. ]

I would need to stand vigil over it though. Barriers to keep people in are much, much harder than those designed to keep people out and the further I am from my home the more mana I need to expend to keep it up.

[encelevenemus]

I can only cast a Protect spell with concentration to accomplish the same, regrettably.

[twibeast]

...Regardless of what we choose to do, I would like... to spend some time with her once she awakens. Alone if possible.

[spitessier]

Then place her somewhere and cast a barrier on the door -- a barrier to keep her out. If it's placed on the door, it should be able to do the same without being a barrier to keep her in. It should give her more space to move in than a barrier to keep her in, and it'd be less effort for you.

[Katsuya doesn't seem to have any sympathy for Bryn, that's for sure]

Given her actions here I think it's clear to see limiting her contact with anyone she may be able to kill is a necessary move.

[twibeast]

That still might not hold. And even if it did, which room? We have our dorms, the storage room, the bathing rooms and the rooms on the third floor - but everyone needs and uses those.

How old did her profile say she was again?

[pegasinister]

... so this is the Carrion Princess.

[Thanks for doing literally nothing to help, Hubert]

[thealchemist]

[Well, he was already a little shaken, and her outburst did nothing to make him less startled.

He tilts his head, almost thoughtfully, and then hops down off of the table.]

Well, I think that's enough excitement, what do you say?

[philomachy]

Going already? Are you not enjoying yourself?

[thealchemist]

[Any sense of being on the back foot fades away.]

I didn't say that, did I?

I find it's more fun to see what you get up to when you think I'm not watching.

[amitiesbind]

So you can dish it, but you can't take it.

[thealchemist]

Sorry, I don't take it from little girls, sweetheart.

It's not my fault she didn't hear the 'and get away with it,' part.

[encelevenemus]

Afraid she may just decide to tear your throat out next?

[thealchemist]

When a rabid dog comes for your throat, you put it down.

[In other words, bitch I'd like to see her try.]

[reresurrected]

[... well, that certainly works! He was gearing up to do something similar, but he's very appreciative that he doesn't have to hit a lady now, even if the lady was somewhat... uh.]

Thank you for being faster than I was.

[twibeast]

[ He sighs and tries to smile at Baldr, though it's very strained. ]

You're... welcome. I only wish it didn't have to come to this at all.

[reresurrected]

[He nods, because boy does he feel that.]

Yes. It's becoming clear that whether we will be able to remain peaceful for a month is a very real concern...
