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.

✨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]

[encelevenemus]

[he’s cruising for one and it’s only sunday]

How could you… Where did you possibly-

[…]

Were you that godsdamned cat?

[cuttingremark]

[Damn, we just had a trial yes- two days-wait-]

Is that the brother you insist you don't have?

[encelevenemus]

Loki.

Stop talking.

[cuttingremark]

Hit a nerve, have I? [Can't stop, won't stop. Very much knows how to stop, just chooses not to. This is bad decision time, baby!]

What, is he the black sheep of the family? The one everyone would rather forget? Because I have a lot of experience in that regard.

[encelevenemus]

He’s dead, are you satisfied?

[There was a faint flicker of blue in the air, as though Somnus almost did something regrettable and swiftly thought better of it.]

My family is none of your concern, neither is it anyone else’s. Do not presume to speak of that which you can not comprehend.

[cuttingremark]

Just because he's dead doesn't mean he never existed in the first place. People don't normally deny the existence of someone just because they're no longer alive.

[Loki notices the flicker, knows he should probably shut up, but doesn't. As usual.]

Unless something happened that made you wish he was more than dead. Tell me, was it him who was in your envelope the first week? [You know, the one you wanted to never exist at all.]

[encelevenemus]

I do not owe you any answers, Loki. None of this is your concern.

[cuttingremark]

As I have repeatedly said, it is all of our concern if simply saying his name gets such a reaction out of you. What would happen if the Patron decided we needed a new guest in the tower?

[encelevenemus]

I am not here to deal in hypotheticals. But should that happen, perhaps the rest of you can finally conspire to be rid of me as most of our number would clearly wish to.

[cuttingremark]

Norns, Somnus, not as many people here want you dead as you think!

[encelevenemus]

You would if you knew the truth.

So leave it alone, and we may yet live to all go our separate ways, if we are so fortunate.

[cuttingremark]

Yes, well, so would you.

[encelevenemus]

Then why must you continue to press the issue? The last thing any of us need is more reason to cut one another down.

My brother made a critical mistake and was slain by a daemon of immeasurable power. That is all that need be said on the matter—more than need be said, as it is no one’s concern but mine.

[cuttingremark]

Because you're always so dodgy about it! Everyone is suspicious. If you'd simply told us that the first time it came up it wouldn't have been a problem!

[encelevenemus]

Oh, of course, let me merely divulge the entire deeply upsetting history of Lucis’ founding to utter strangers solely that they might think me less capable of murder—do you even hear yourself?

[cuttingremark]

Yes, but apparently you aren't. [Loki sighs, massaging a temple. Why is everyone here so bullheaded?]

It isn't divulging the 'entire deeply upsetting history' to say 'I had a brother. He died' rather than 'I have no siblings, I just get upset when the subject is brought up for no reason.'

[encelevenemus]

[Scowling, Somnus proceeded to look at anything except Loki.]

It is no one's concern but my own. I do not care to play this irritating game of sharing quite so much about ourselves.

[cuttingremark]

[A sigh, then almost defeated:] I know.

[encelevenemus]

...Things were all so much simpler when I wasn't human. I could just operate as a machine programmed for the benefit of the kingdom, nothing more. Humanity was always so much more tangled and complex.

[cuttingremark]

Emotions do tend to make things more complicated, don't they?

[encelevenemus]

It would certainly seem that way. We of the kings of eld function as a simple cohesive unit, all of one mind even while deferring to me--to 'the Mystic' as their voice.

This entire mess is unmitigated chaos. Cooperation seems beyond impossible, survival even less so.

[cuttingremark]

Chaos isn't always a precursor to destruction. The realms were birthed from Chaos, after all.

Of course I am biased, seeing as it is one of my domains.
