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. ]

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 ]

[cabineyes]

[ that's a long time. don't know if i can handle it. ]

Aye. Do as you will. We wouldn't want you falling asleep when it's time to pay.

[ gets behind the counter when paul makes his way out of the shop. he'll be with you in a minute. ]

[crotchbite]

[ watches him walk upstairs and turns to hook again ]

What about that knife over there?

[ it looks it'd sit comfortable between the tits ]

[cabineyes]

This one?

Is it big enough for your needs?

[ just sayin. takes the knife anyway and hands it to her. ]

[crotchbite]

[ does this happen without the kiss now ]

[cabineyes]

[ watches her freeze suddenly. ]

You alright?

[ did she manage to stab herself with the sheath on. ]

[crotchbite]

[ blinks confusedly and stares at the dagger before holding it to her chest ]

I-- yes. [ looks at it for a while longer and shakes her head. no nevermind. it's just the tiredness probably ] I'm fine. How much?

[cabineyes]

[ if you say so? glances at her again before taking out the notepad where they mark the sales. ]

Let's say 60. It's a fine price for a good friend.

[ they're not friends at all. ]

[crotchbite]

High price for a friend. [ doesn't argue though and just gives him the coins

looks at it again and hides it in her coat ] I suppose that'll cover some of the damage for now. Buy your daughter a nice dress or something.

[cabineyes]

[ oh. it's not even worth 30. ]

That's most generous of you, love. Maybe I really do owe you a favor now.

[ takes the coins and smiles. ]

[crotchbite]

[ you may have given more of a favour than you could ever owe

doesn't need to know that ]

You really do, Mr. Joy. [ taps the counter and turns away ] Good luck with the shop.

[cabineyes]

Good luck with the clinic.

And the wife.

[ tehe. counts the coins and puts them where they belong. bo is getting a new dress for the wedding. ]
