Rough day, eh? Time to head home to your loving spouse or to the inn to meet with your best mates. Anyway, the day is done. It was a long one too so make you sure you have a good night's rest because tomorrow is not going to be any easier. The duke wants the town to look absolutely perfect for the festival.

If you don't feel like sleeping just yet I hear the inn is running a small darts tournament. The food is bad and the rooms are small, but at least the alcohol is good. Apple cider all around!

[ mission: so about that curse! in order to break out of your curse you'll be needing three triggers or one big one. more information & examples here. hold your horses though, you aren't supposed to break free in just one night. ]

If you leave things out here, of course they're going to get sold.

[crotchbite]

Don't worry about it. I know how Jacob here works. [ he would try to sell a bald man a comb.

takes the katana from him anyway and looks around it. hmmm. no. doesn't really feel right

watches the magic torch for a second ]

Should I leave while you two discuss your affairs?

[cabineyes]

No, that was you.

[ tmi. but enough about that. turns to hel with a big smile and flashes the torch at her. how about that? ]

[cabineyes]

[ at least none of them is a cheating slut. ]

No, please don't. Carry on as you were.

[andtrue]

He loves to put on a show when we have company. I don't know if it makes business better or worse.

[crotchbite]

[ squints eyes at him when he flashes the thing in her face. i bet you do that with all the girls. only with your penis.

pushes it away from her face and smiles at paul ]

Maybe that's why your business is so slow. You spook away customers.

[cabineyes]

[ no ma'am. he's a happily married man. puts the flashlight away. ]

Perhaps I shall leave you two to it then?

[ always whining about him not being there and when he finally helps... oh god do i try. ]

[andtrue]

You're not going out again, young man. Not at this hour.

[crotchbite]

[ shakes head at them and browses through the messy shelves

picks up a crossbow. it's weird and all... modernized. or whatever. puts it back in the shelf. ]

I'm really just here to help by buying something, but I would rather not have something useless or something I can't use.

[cabineyes]

Then what is it that you might need, dear?

I'm afraid our selection in medical supplies isn't as vast as it used to be.

[ he's not going anywhere. he's helping! like a proper family man. ]

[andtrue]

... I think we have some rolls of bandages. That might be almost useful.

[crotchbite]

I don't need bandages right now. [ she has a lot ]

What about the latest merchandise?

[cabineyes]

You're looking at it.

[ the pile of crap in front of you. swords and guns. s-salt? ]

[andtrue]

Already sold most of the best weapons earlier today, I'm afraid.

[cabineyes]

How about this?

[ pokes the typewriter box with his boot. ]

Here's something for the reception. I bet your apprentice would love it. No more sore wrists for the poor lad.

Or well...

[andtrue]

What's this about sore wrists?

[cabineyes]

From writing all those damn prescriptions, what else?

[ yeah what else. ]

[andtrue]

Oh. Forget I said anything.

[cabineyes]

Oh, you don't have to worry about that as not much of what you say sticks, love.

[ now who's making the customer uncomfortable. ]

[andtrue]

You flatter me, darling.

[cabineyes]

Do I?

Trust me, it wasn't my intention.

[andtrue]

It was sarcasm.

[ but maybe hook is just used to august faking things ]

[cabineyes]

[ the family of fakers. turns back to hel. ]

I do apologize, he's running on little sleep.

[crotchbite]

[ don't discuss your fake sex life please

looks at the typewriter and quirks her eyebrows ]

Don't worry about it. That could be useful. [ points at the typewriter. august could you reach it for me. ] Let me take a closer look.

[andtrue]

[ takes the shelf the typewriter and other things are sitting on and puts it down on the counter ]

And-- speaking of little sleep. I think I need to excuse myself before all that tiredness catches up with me. Jacob?

[ hook can you handle taking care of the shop for five minutes ]
