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 ))

[Hey Abjuration Dormmates, hope you're getting used to Wu's really nice feather bed in the middle of the dorm. Also surprise, he's not the only one in that bed anymore. In addition to Wu's head of brown hair, there's also a halo of blonde spread over one of the pillows. Say good morning to your new dormmate?

Once Wu's up and notices the special delivery in the hall, he is immediately going to drop whatever he's doing and retrieve that special delivery. He might be spotted in the halls, looking for Katsuya with a small...is that a pet carrier? As well as a calico-colored duffle bag?? Wu, what are you up to...

Once that delivery is delivered, Wu's going to get back to the grove of figuring out what to do for the day. Turns out that thing is...taking pictures with the compact. So if you stand still for more than two seconds, or even if you don't you might be getting your picture taken. Or maybe you're catching him mid-selfie--either of those are likely options.

Eventually, Wu will tire of that, and head to the library, going back to reading his favorite book, Leadership for Dummies and taking notes. Sometimes he'll pause and stare off into the middle distance, thinking. There's also a sword just...leaning next to the table he's sitting at?? What is that doing there.

Near the later end of the afternoon towards evening, he's going to close that book and set aside his notes, leaving them both there, and push up from the table and go and seek out Hubert.]

library

[strongestfeelings]

[Stella lets him go have fun with his deliveries in the morning-- she has no desire whatsoever to be involved in whatever he's doing to poor Katsuya. Eventually, though, she heads to track him down-- to make sure he's not in any trouble, or causing any trouble.

All thoughts of that stop when she sees the sword next to him. She freezes completely, her heart catching in her throat-- she even looks around, frantically, for its owner. When she's sure that he's not thank goodness because shes not sure she can handle him and wu meeting right now, she swiftly approaches him, her voices harshness cut with a tiny bit of panic.]

What-- Where did you get that--

[seaweedwrap]

[Oh, well, that'll get his attention pretty quick--and Wu's head shoots up immediately, turning to look at her, a frown appearing at her distress, already starting to stand to meet her as she comes closer] I just got it in one of the blind boxes, that's all--

[strongestfeelings]

[Sorry, Wu-- when he moves to meet her, she turns, to pick up the sword instead. There's no denying it, with the strands of gold-- she was the reason they were there. It's so familiar, yet so wrong. Wrong in her hands.]

They had this? This... shouldn't be here.

[seaweedwrap]

[When Stella turns away and towards the sword, that frown deepens]

What is it?

abjuration dorm

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

You were serious about that bed, huh... Good mor -- Wah?!

[Yeah, she just noticed Stella, and flails and stumbles back into one of the bunk beds, wiping out on the floor.]

Oww... You brought someone over in a shared room?

[strongestfeelings]

[girl—- you’re being way too loud. Stella was about to complain so she could try and go back to sleep, but once she hears what Mai says, she can’t help but laugh.]

Oh, that’s cute. You think this was his idea.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

[Mei makes an embarrassed noise as she drags herself to her feet and covers her face.]

There isn't a lot of space in the tower, Stella-san...

[seaweedwrap]

[it's fine, if Stella doesn't complain abt the noise, Wu is--making an upset noise and covering his head with his pillow]

S'too loud! [that sure is a muffle annoyed protest]

Bert time

[pegasinister]

[he finds him in the tinkerer's haven, sanding a length of beech wood???

There's parchment spread all over the table covered in mathematical and magical formulas as well. He looks pretty focused but when he sees Wu he looks... amused? He knows, either through his own snooping or the tower gossip, that SOMEONE wasn't in her assigned dorm this morning]

You certainly seem focused today.

Bert time!!!!! 1/2

[seaweedwrap]

[Well, Wu had been seeing out Hubert for a different purpose, but at that statement he blinks in surprise as he approaches]

Do I?

2/2

[seaweedwrap]

I mean, of course. Working hard. On kingdom stuff! That's me.

[convincing, Wu.]

[pegasinister]

Yes, that must be it.

[Hubert is radiating smug aura, but instead of teasing Wu about his personal life he focuses back on his staff. He picks up a grease pencil and starts making marks on the wood]

Did you need something?

[seaweedwrap]

[Boy, that's a question! Wu opens his mouth--then actually hesitates, then--]

Yeah, I wanted to ask you, uhh...

[HHHH HE'S HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THIS ONE and maybe both verbally and physically dancing around the subject, shifting nervously from foot to foot even as he comes closer]

Um, well....

[c'mon, Wu, you can do it, just ask--]

You, ah...what are you working on? [RIGHT THAT WAS DEFINITELY WHAT HE MEANT TO ASK as he leans on the opposite side of the worktable]

Picture time!

[cuttingremark]

[Eyebrow up.]

What are you doing?

[seaweedwrap]

[Wu beams, brightly, lowering the compact and flipping through it to look at the picture of Loki he just took]

Taking pictures! [HEY LOKI, GUESS WHAT] Did you know that these things can take pictures? Instantly? You don't even have to wait for them to develop!

[cuttingremark]

[Rather than taking out his own compact, Loki comes over to inspect the picture Wu just took.]

Yes, I've seen devices like this on a few planets. When I was on Earth with Thor he was constantly getting stopped for 'selfies.'

[seaweedwrap]

Ohhhh, selfies! Stella just taught me about those.

Here--[and he turns the camera back on, and flips it around so it's facing them, and then holds it out to angle it correctly so they're both in the camera] Smile and say badgermoles!

Pet Carrier

[spitessier]

[What are you up to, indeed. Why do you have a pet carrier, Wu?]

Since when do you have a pet?

[seaweedwrap]

Since today! [brightly--though he's coming over, setting the carrier down and bending down to open it--] But she's not mine--not exactly. [there might be a small 'mew' coming from the carrier as Wu reaches in and pulls out a target="_blank">6 week-ish old kitten with a collar around her neck with the Fantasy Costco logo. He beams at Katsuya, as he holds her out]

Here! I got her for you.

[spitessier]

[The way Katsuya's eyes light up is shows so much genuine happiness at the sight it's almost adorable! His eyes even are watering up!

Oh, wait, that's the allergies.]

For me? You got me a cat?

[He's so honored and so baffled and also so dismayed]

[seaweedwrap]

Yes! My great aunt was also really allergic to animals, so some of the ladies in the upper ring started getting this breed of cat that didn't seem to affect her allergies. [he beams, bringing the kitten a bit closer] But! Just in case, Garfield put this special collar on her, so as long as she has that on, you should have no problems with your allergies. [Surprise! It's not the allergies, it is, in fact, the emotions! Wu looks incredibly proud of himself. But more than that, he's watching Katsuya very closely to see what he thinks]

pics or it didn't happen

[philomachy]

[Wu's gonna be catching Zenos in the Great Hall. It's very candid, on account of how he's.... asleep. He only slowly opens his eyes upon hearing the noise of the transmitter capturing his image.

Yes, he was just sleeping while sitting up, what of it.]

[seaweedwrap]

[Great well he'll Open his eyes to find Wu peering over his shoulder and the compact showing a picture of their faces--Zenos asleep, and Wu grinning incredibly widely. Once it's on there, Wu straightens (but only a bit--it's not like he had to bend down much)]

Got it!

[philomachy]

[he just woke up and why this]

...Someone is excited about his new toy.
