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 ))

[For most of the day, Somnus was in the training room; with no weapon in hand, he had opted to exercise his own power. This form was different enough that he felt the practice necessary--'diminished' wasn't quite the correct term, but the lack of a massive form wrought of metal made him feel just a little too defenseless for his own liking.]

[He held out one hand, and with a crackling noise like ice forming manifested a shield of blue light shaped like thin crystal. Sometimes it was no more than a small barrier, but on occasion with a little more concentration the light spread like ice to form a half-dome shaped barrier covering his whole height.]

[...It could stand to be worse, he concluded. If things did come to another fight, he'd just have to be a good deal faster the next time.]
replacementshield: (> Hm)

Training Room;

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-31 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ Felix steps into the training room because it is basically routine for him now.

His amber eyes catch the unintended demonstration with no short amount of interest. He's never seen anything like it before, that's why. ]


...I'm starting to wonder what other battle techniques you have up your sleeve.

[ After all, Somnus has already shown himself as a talented swordsman. He supposes it is true, in regards to what has been said about it being good to have magical talent with swordplay... ]
encelevenemus: (take me down to the river bend)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-03-31 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
'Several' would be the best answer to that.

[He lowered his hand, the shield dispelled and vanishing with a quiet sound of shattering glass.]

The power of the line of Lucis manifests with slight variations in its monarchs, but the principles all remain the same.
replacementshield: (> What's that?)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-31 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ He'll watch as the magic dissipates. Learning how to do that would be so cool, and of course useful. Though he's mostly thinking about when Somnus had summoned those blades.

His focus had been narrow, but the display had been hard to miss.

That being said... ]


Lucis? So, you're a King?

[ Though he is supposed to be a "Ghost" somehow. Which is honestly still difficult to accept. ]
encelevenemus: (take me down to the river bend)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-03-31 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I am the first of the line of Lucian monarchs, yes. The kingdom has seen… [He paused, as if counting in his head.] …some one hundred rulers since then. I believe the current is one hundred and twelfth.
replacementshield: (> Ugh)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-04-01 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ That is...a substantial amount.

His brows furrow, wondering how he'd even know who has come after to him, and to such an extent. ]


Have you been watching over them or something?
encelevenemus: (wash the poison from off my skin)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-04-01 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
A reasonable enough way to describe it.
replacementshield: (> Hm)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-04-01 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph. Hard to believe, considering how long that must have been, but for some reason your age hasn't been listed on the profile...

[ What kind of number is "Yes"? ]

Though, the way this ability of yours manifests almost sounds similar to the way certain skills can manifest from those who possess Crests back home.

Wow!

[Mei claps, even if it's a little awkward as she's still holding a training sword in one hand.]

That's what your power is? It's kind of amazing!
encelevenemus: (wash the poison from off my skin)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-03-31 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
...Among other things, yes. It's only a shield.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Rushing in to stop something. (zoom)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-31 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
You say "only," but I've never seen something like that, Somnus-san! What other things do you know how to do?
encelevenemus: (wash the poison from off my skin)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-03-31 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
My power is meant primarily for combat in defense of the kingdom. I can utilize elemental magic, as well as summon swords of light.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Taking in new information. (so that's why huh)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-04-01 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Wow... So even if you're the one in charge, you can go out there and fight with everybody else. That's kind of amazing.
encelevenemus: (show me how to be whole again)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-04-01 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
The king of Lucis is the cornerstone of his soldiers' power in many respects. Ideally, the ruler themselves would never have to see combat. But if it becomes necessary, those who bear the crown are stronger than anyone.

I see your defensive capabilities are just as impressive as your offense. [Is he still bitter about getting his ass handed to him? Only a little. Not enough to change how he annoys Somnus.]
encelevenemus: (how could you have come to hate me so)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-03-31 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[unfortunately, he expects no less.]

Defense is my primary function. I am a guardian well before I am myself a combatant.
cuttingremark: (hmhm)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-31 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Was that also true when you were alive? Or is it only when you became a large statue that you took on this role?
encelevenemus: (wash the poison from off my skin)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-03-31 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I notice everyone here asks an abundance of questions, but it is the latter.

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-04-01 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
We are not only mostly strangers to each other, but also from completely different worlds. You can't begrudge us a little curiosity.
encelevenemus: (past the black where the sirens sing)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-04-01 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you will find I can, but I shall entertain it all the same.

[Interesting. He's not unfamiliar with barriers such as this, of course, but. Well. He immediately can't help but wonder...]

How much force can that withstand?
encelevenemus: (wash the poison from off my skin)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-03-31 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Should fortune be on my side, as much as it needs to.

[personal profile] philomachy 2022-03-31 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
How much have you tested it?
encelevenemus: (take me down to the river bend)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-04-01 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
The bloodline's shields have stood for generations; what the individual uses is a fraction of the size, but just as unlikely to falter.
philomachy: (023)

[personal profile] philomachy 2022-04-03 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Such confidence. Simply because it has lasted this long, it will continue to do so, is that it? Hm.

Unlikely does not mean impossible.
