week 6

[arsholes]

[On Sunday morning, there is a small gift waiting for the early risers in the tower: a dull lead key (don't lick it), dangling from a length of twine tied to the wooden beam across the ceiling at the cross section of the four dorms. Upon further inspection it has a particular symbol on the back half and a note that reads "Good job. Here's your reward". The note is signed Lord H. The key goes to sixth floor, where there is the same symbol etched above the keyhole on the lock.

The new floor is even more grand than the previous ballroom, a full theatre for their enjoyment. But it doesn't take away the burning sting of certain people who would have loved to see it.]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

✨WEEKLY DEALS✨

1. Random Record Shuffle* - A funky fresh record you can play in a record player! The only catch is Garfield gets to pick the artist. *One per customer [1 coin]
(cw: creepy doll) 2. Angie - The ultimate haunted(?) doll, the sweet babiest sister. There is a massive crack in her head. [5 coins]
3. The Katana of Kant - A magical sentient katana that, when unsheathed, the wielder must have a philosophical debate over whether the act they're about to commit is a moral one in order to be able to use it.

Comments

[cuttingremark]

[Anyone in the Illusion dorm may have noticed that Olive's wasn't the only bed that went unused last night. Loki is absolutely no where in the tower until early evening when anyone visiting the library will find him tucked into a quiet corner with a book smelling distinctly of cigar smoke.

Very late at night he'll sneak down to the kitchen to grab something to eat. He doesn't seem like his usual, playful self. Can't imagine why that might be.]

kitchen

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

[Maybe she's on a fruitless ghost hunt, maybe she just has the midnight munchies. Either way, Mei's rummaging in the pantry when she hears Loki and yelps, spinning around and almost hitting her head on the door.]

Wah -- Loki-san! Sorry, I thought...

[cuttingremark]

[Loki puts down the ladle he was hovering over some leftover soup and comes over to her.]

That looked like it hurt, are you alright?

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

I'm fine! [She waves it off with a wince.] I just got surprised, that's all! Maybe we're all just on edge or something.

[cuttingremark]

It certainly feels like it, doesn't it?

[With a wave a small sealed back of ice appears in his hand. He offers it to Mei.]

Here, it will help.

here but also not here, library

[pegasinister]

[he has no intention of pestering Loki today, but he IS on the hunt for some specific books and he suspects who has them: so the cigar smoke gets his attention.

So he's just gonna peek around a shelf to try and see the title]

[cuttingremark]

[Loki tenses for a moment, but relaxes when he sees that it isn't Bruno is just Hubert. Unfortunately his hand is obscuring the title and not because I don't know what it is yet.]

It's rude to stare, Hubert.

[If he comes closer, Hubert will quickly realize the smell it's just coming from the book, but rather is clinging to Loki himself.]

[pegasinister]

[he should have guessed Loki would sense him easily. It's not exactly like he was hiding after all.

He steps out, his nose wrinkling at the smell]

And I've never claimed to be polite. You reek.

[cuttingremark]

Blame Heisenberg, it's those damn cigars he insists on smoking.

library;

[replacementshield]

[ Well, it isn't as if Felix doesn't come by the library often enough himself. When he steps in for a visit later during the day, he catches sight of Loki easily, and unfortunately the scent of that book. ]

You couldn't pick something that smelled better?

[cuttingremark]

Generally books are chosen for their contents, not their odor.

[Loki doesn't bother to look up at him, rather just flips a page lazily. If Felix comes closer he may realize that the scent clings not just to the book, but rather to Loki himself]

[replacementshield]

Hmph. I suppose that's true.

[ ...But, wait, he pauses when he has come closer.

Then, Felix's eyebrows furrow, because as he recalls, Loki hasn't ever smelled like this before, nor has he made himself evidently interested in smoking. ]

...It's not just the book.

When did you start picking up smoking cigars?

[cuttingremark]

I haven't, but Heisenberg is rather fond of them.

kitchen

[encelevenemus]

[Ghost or not, he did apparently have to eat sometime. Somnus leaned back against the kitchen counter, silently waiting for a kettle to boil because gods forbid he eat anyone else’s cooking. He was probably top of the list of ‘acceptable murder targets’ by now.]

[cuttingremark]

[Loki tenses slightly when he enters, but relaxes when it sees it isn't Bruno it's only Somnus.]

Midnight snack or late dinner?

[encelevenemus]

The distinction means little, at this point. [both]

…I have not seen you around recently.

[cuttingremark]

I needed some time to myself. [No need to mention that nice cat you met yesterday...yet...]

library

[predecir]

[At some point during this, Bruno enters the library in an attempt to find a distraction, clocks All of This, mumbles something that might be an apology, and turns to flee the room immediately! Mmmmmbye!]

[cuttingremark]

[Loki looks up when he hears someone get close, catching Bruno's eye as he turns to run. There's a brief feeling of happiness that always accompanies Bruno's appearance, but then the events of last night resurface in his mind.]

Br-

[Fuck, what does he even say? If Bruno continues to flee, he won't stop him.]

[predecir]

[Hey, now.

We don't speak that name.]

[cuttingremark]

[Should he go after him?






No. No, he's going to do what he does best: stay right here and stew in his own self-loathing]

pay no attention to the cat living in the refrigerator

[mercantilewits]

Heeeeey, Loki~! Long time no see. [Loki definitely didn't hear Garfield creep into the kitchen, which in itself isn't weird, but the fact he's just...sitting on the counter, lightly kicking his shorts legs in the air, late at night instead of doing whatever he does in his little shop at night.]

Whatcha doin'?

[cuttingremark]

[And Loki definitely doesn't jump when Garfield starts talking.]

...finding something to eat. What are you doing here at this time of night?

[mercantilewits]

Oh, you know. Just came to say hello, raid the freezer, have a little chat with my favorite customers. [You know, the usual.]

Hey, I have...a little quid pro quo if you're interested.

[cuttingremark]

[Loki's eyes narrow.]

I'm listening.
