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]

Comments

[draconite]

[ Oh, that's... she really can't tell if that's good or bad. ]

Is... someone present?

[ Unsure of what else to do, she lowers herself to the floor and plops her hands beside the spell circle, like her presence alone can channel some energy into it. ]

Can you hear us?

[arsholes]

[Mei can feel the weight of a hand settle on her shoulder.

And then the sound of leathered footsteps, along with the supportive 'tap, tap, tap' of an accompanying cane.

The presence walks away from her, and begins to walk a long, meandering circuit around the spell circle, passing right through Bryn.]

[draconite]

Hyagh–!

[ A little sputter of fire jets out of her mouth as an accompaniment to her yelp of surprise. She has to clap both hands over her mouth to keep any more from coming out and thankfully, what little there was flickers away before catching anything alight. ]

Wh–what was that?!

[encelevenemus]

...What's wrong?

[draconite]

[ She heaves a huge shudder. ]

I–it was as if something walked right through me...!

[encelevenemus]

[well, that's probably fine]

I assume they are more accustomed to being intangible. It certainly got your attention, by the look of things.

[draconite]

A simple tap on the shoulder would have more than sufficed!

[encelevenemus]

Are we here to commune with the dead or complain about their manners, Brynhilde?

[draconite]

I see nothing to suggest that I can't do both!

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

It's okay! They're a friend! I talked to this one before!

[rikonstructed]

Does it expect us to follow...?

[Mostly he's just eyeballing Bryn to gauge if she's still at Normal Soul Capacity.]

[draconite]

It– they– whatever is here seems to just be walking around the spell circle...

[arsholes]

[While it paused momentarily when she scrumpt that little scream, it does indeed seem to be continuing at a slow, methodical pace.

Occasionally stopping to scratch at the runes in the spell circle with the end of its cane, correcting the strokes and position. It's giving "nun grading a spelling test" levels of nitpicky energy, tbh.]

[draconite]

[ It takes her a few moments to realize what's happening – and then she splutters in both surprise and protest. ]

Excuse me! I did my very best to draw this up for us! Would it kill you a second time to show a little appreciation for my efforts?!

[encelevenemus]

Can we perhaps attempt to focus rather than bicker? No doubt we will not have long to do this.

[draconite]

Hmrgrgr... [ Pout! ] Very well...

[ She huffs and puffs, but at least... attempts to take this a little more seriously. ]

Who are we speaking with right now? If you can speak back to us at all...

[arsholes]

[Two taps- which, if Mei remembers, means "no"- come from near Somnus.]

[draconite]

. . . Well, that seems to answer that question. [ sigh! ] Is there anything you can do for us?

[arsholes]

[There's a pregnant pause before the footsteps start up again and, instead of the cane tapping on the ground against the ground, certain people will feel the light tap of a cane on their shoulder.

First Somnus, then Baldr, Bryn, Orthrus, Bruno...the feeling lingers on Hubert's uninjured shoulder for a few seconds longer than the others before there's a definitive single tap behind Nuadha.

Goose, you're it.]

[rikonstructed]

[Why does this place always manage a jumpscare for him.

Nuadha only jolts a little before he manages to smooth over his reaction.]

So there is something you can do. Something to disrupt Heisenberg's ritual?

[pegasinister]

[He shivers at the lingering touch but keeps his mouth shut]

[predecir]

[Bruno almost chuckles. This is something he's familiar with.]

[twibeast]

W-Walked through you?!

[draconite]

Yes! Directly through me! It's what you would expect for a ghost, but still...

[predecir]

Are you okay?
