week 6

[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. If the wielder wins, an attack will do double the damage. The katana also has a German accent. [Free, Please Take It]


LEFTOVER STOCK AT 50% MARK-UP ON SALE
1. Greater Hat of Disguise - A hat that lets you transform your appearance for as long as you're wearing it. You choose exactly how you look and sound, with the hat transforming to whatever headgear you choose. (You still have to sell the act though.) [2 coins]
2. Moon God Mask - A very large moon mask that covers your entire head. It kind of makes you want to either get a hamburger or form a cult. [1 coin]
3. The Tingler - The whole hand tingles from wearing this ring, as if more blood rushes through the area. [1 coin]




(( OOC: Don't forget to submit your orders for any threads that aren't with Heisenberg or Garfield! And don't forget activity check! ))

Who says I'm lying? [Loki is surprisingly serious right now.]

1/2

[Loki is a good liar, but Hubert tries to find any hint of it in his face. Damned quasi immortal beings, he's at a disadvantage here]

... if you are not I hope it was to gather information. NOT some ill advised coping mechanism after what happened last night.

... also does he actually have an entire collection of straps?
cuttingremark: (:D)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-04-25 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Loki snorts at that.]

Firstly all of my coping mechanisms are ill advised. Second, yes. I've seen more impressive, but it was serviceable.

[He coughs into his fist, tugging a bit at his too tight collar]

Well, regardless. You realize this is idiotic, dangerous and bordering on treachery? If the circumstances were different I would bury a blade in your throat to minimize the risk you're bringing to the rest of us. You couldn't find ANYONE in the group itself to further ruin your love life with? Or was the worst option part of the appeal?
cuttingremark: (lean)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-04-25 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
What different circumstances? You thought you could actually pull it off, or get away with it?

[Loki just rolls his eyes.]

I didn't fuck him, Hubert, just gaging your reaction. I needed somewhere away from our fellow captives and he offered me solace in his workroom. We talked, nothing more. And before you ask: no nothing treacherous. Against all my better judgement, I actually like you lot and don't want to see you die.

[he slumps in relief.]

Flames, Loki! Do not play these kinds of games with me- it's my job to find treason in every corner. I accused Somnus of the same thing only yesterday!

[he huffs]

As for those "circumstances" it would only be more solid proof. My ability to actually kill you or get away with it isn't important. The attempt would be made and if I succeeded I would simply pen a confession and handle the matter myself. A strong enough poison would get through my resistances and avoid a messy trial.

And it's my job to sew discord and mayhem. God of Mischief and Lies and all that. [He waves a dismissive hand around.]

That actually is somewhat comforting, you know. [Like, don't mcfucking do it, he actually likes you, but comforting nonetheless.]
pegasinister: (1)

[personal profile] pegasinister 2022-04-25 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[That actually makes him look a bit pleased.]

Well, I ask that you don't mention the scenerio to anyone else- that I'm on the hunt or what the outcome would be. It would only worry them needlessly.
cuttingremark: (shiney)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-04-25 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. [He doesn't ask Hubert to keep their conversation secret. It would only sew more distrust amongst them if they did and it came out later.]

Here, take this. I was never one for the alchemical arts. [He holds out the book taken from Heisenberg's workshop. It's pretty much like the basics of alchemy, rudimentary one element into another stuff. It has some notes in the margins in a scratchy, engineer's hand, but there's not a whole lot of enlightening commentary in there (some of the notes are "fucking stupid" but others are about potential practical applications, like making steel by turning some of the iron into tin, thereby making it more durable while skipping the timely smelting process.]

The notes appear to be his.

[He takes the offered book, his eyes widening in surprise and excitement as he flips through it]

This was exactly what I've been looking for. So it seems our friend is 'The Alchemist' in the same way a galley cook is 'The Chef'. Or at least was at some point. Do you think he had others like this?
cuttingremark: (surprise)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-04-25 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
He actually said he was more of an 'engineer' and an alchemist.

He had a few others, but this was the only one he would let me take. Said he was done with it.
pegasinister: (1)

[personal profile] pegasinister 2022-04-25 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I may ask after the others. But first [He waves the book a bit] I have reading to do.
cuttingremark: (helm)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-04-25 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. I hope it is to your satisfaction.
