You are Galliard Rashamon. You are in business as a purveyor of ill fortune, a product which you have in ample supply and are eager to be rid of. Unfortunately for you, there simply is not much demand for shitty luck.

Another boring day of no business has been going by in your Emporium of Ill Fortune and Assorted Cursed Antiquities (most of which became cursed due to your being in possession for an extended period of time), and you are considering closing early. You don't expect your one consistent customer to appear today anyway.

You need better marketing. Or your customers aren't coming in with the correct mindset. Or maybe you're appealing to the wrong target market with the wrong mindset!

Son, what you need to do is change the view of your goods as cursed objects and other stuff of ill-fortune to a prank shop filled to brim with stuff to make the people getting pranked unlucky. Or appeal to the voodoo crowd. Unless this does technically count as the voodoo crowd then your fucked.

Your only consistent customer is your friend Pavane. She always makes up some excuse about karma or something, but you think she buys your bad luck so that you can maybe have an almost decent day once in a while because she feels sorry for you.

>>263431
>>263432

Unfortunately, when you sell your ill fortune under false pretenses it doesn't actually make anything any better for you. For whatever reason this stupid curse only works when you're honest about it.

Honestly you're surprised you ever get ANY business at all. Mostly you think it is people trying to have some sort of 'accident' to use as an excuse to get out of something.

>>263433

You were born with this stupid horn. You aren't a unicorn, but you think that maybe your dad might be? Your bizarre freakish horn-toting heritage is probably the source of your stupid bad luck curse anyway.

I would figure describing one of the uses of your objects of ill-fortune wouldn't fall under false pretenses."Come on down to the Emporium of Ill Fortune and Assorted Cursed Antiquities. Why would you want a cursed object? IS it April Fools day? Put a bad luck potion in your friend's coffee. Do you hate somebody? Hell, stuff it up his ass and watch his girlfriend leave him, possibly for you even. Remember, bad luck for someone else is usually good luck for you!

I think we found your problem.
If I know my unicorn lore, they can 'wish' changes to themselves and the world around them. Maybe if you just tried not being pessimistic or upset by the bad luck that surrounds you, it might change into good luck.
Orrrr... You are cursed because your mom did some dark ritual to catch a unicorn for her fetish.


On the marketing aspect, do you have to say that the bad lcuk and cursed items are YOUR bad luck, or can you market them as "Gifts for your enemies!"?

That's the problem, though. I used to get business from pranksters and such, but buying my stuff to give it to other people also gave THEM bad luck. Didn't get many repeat customers from there.

>Hey wait, if you got really shitty luck then shouldn't you be able to somehow gamble on it?

In what fantasy realm is this not the worst idea imaginable?

There is basically no way that would ever happen to Pavane.

>>263471

>What exactly got you into this shitty business anyway?

It was something to do to pass the time. Having -a- job at least makes me feel a little bit normal, even if it's a glorified yard sale stuck in an old building.

>Ever considered Friends with Benefits?

Uh, hello? Weird pointy face. Pavane is still kinda cute and all, but we're just friends. Believe it or not it is possible to be friends with someone and not want to fuck them.

>>263485

Usually when she comes to the store she just asks for some bad luck, pays, and leaves. I think she doesn't want to get in the way of me doing business. She's not the brightest girl around.

>>263487

I've never asked her. I figure it might be kind of a sore subject? She'd probably bring it up if she thought it was important.

>>263497

Well we've been friends for years now, and we wouldn't really be friends if she was just a customer.

And why would I bitch about being friends with Pavane? She's like the nicest person ever.

>>263499

Oh god I do not want to have the karma talk again. I don't really buy into her crazy religion.

I invite her in and go ahead and swap the sign to 'closed.' She walks over and sits down on the desk.

>'Hi there Galliard!'

'Uh ... hi Pavane. Why are you all the way out here?'

>'Oh, I was just stopping by to say hi. I see that you're closing the store early. In a hurry to get home and check the mail?'

'Why would I be off to check the mail?'

>'To see if you won the contest!'

'Oh, uh ... yeah. That was it.'

We continue to make some small talk as she sits around. I'm probably just gonna go home soon.

I've got some bad news for you, then. When you can hear us in your head, that possibility goes out the window.

Oh yeah, and, you know how you have all that bad luck? And how you insist you're "just friends"?
She totally has the hots for you. It's just bad luck, after all.

Hey, you've been socializing with Pavane just fine.

As for the contest, you enter all sorts of mail-in contests. You figure if you sieve off as much of your bad luck into shit you don't expect to win anyway you might be able to get through the day with just a little less going wrong.

>>263510

Pavane's luck is nowhere near bad enough for her to fall for you. Sorry to disappoint.

>>263511

Yeah I'm sure that will happen at any point ever.

>>263512

What's there to learn about? It's just a mail-in contest for some trip. You don't really pay much attention to most of the contests you enter.

Not really. It's pretty much a central aspect of your life.

>but where do you think it's all been going

Well, there was the time that she lost her wallet.

And also when she tripped over a fire hydrant and blacked her eye when she was leaving your store.

And that time her car got stolen.

And the time the sidewalk caved in and she broke her ankle.

Probably others, too. These were just some of the ones that happened within sight of your store.

Generally when somebody buys your bad luck it hits them in a hurry.

That shit actually happens all the time. You've broken almost every bone in your body at least once, some of them multiple times. This is actually your fourth house, and it was struck by lightning just the other day. You only just now got power back, and your refrigerator exploded.

You're pretty sure that nothing ever kills you because then your life wouldn't be able to suck any more.

You don't really think that the horn is the cause of your curse, just another representation of it. You tried to saw it off with a handsaw when you were a kid, but you couldn't really get leverage and the horn came out without a scratch.

Come to think of it, it's pretty much the only part of you that's never broken.

>>264581

The only thing like that at all would probably be Pavane.

You have no idea about any sort of magical objects, the only sort of 'magic' you know of is curses, and the only way they seem to occur is by you owning something for long enough.

>>264583

Oh, it does. After the tornado destroyed the warehouse where the Feed the Homeless Foundation was storing food, you stopped working for charities.

What? No, you should give it to Pavane for safekeeping.
Also: You won because this trip is going to be a nightmare. The worst part, though, is that if you don't go then Pavane will go alone and your suffering will come in the form of not being there for her when it really matters. Not that she'll blame you or anything; it wouldn't be in her nature to hold it against you, what with corpses being so bad at holding things and all.

This is going to suck SO HARD.

>>264714

You think that Unicorns are Regal and Majestic, but also probably fictional.

You don't really know why your face is all pointy, you're pretty sure you were born that way. Maybe your mother was a griffon or something? You've never really thought about it that much. Everyone is different in their own special way, after all.

>>264755

You believe in reincarnation and karmic balancing through inversion.

You are incredibly lucky. Almost nothing ever goes wrong for you, and many things go incredibly well for you by complete accident. You consider your luck a blessing and compensate by helping people whenever possible.

But you worry that because everything goes so well for you in this life, your next life will be horrible beyond compare. So you buy some bad luck from Galliard every once in a while so something will go wrong and your next life will be just a little bit better.

You also just feel kind of bad for him having everything go wrong all the time, and want him to have not so terrible a day every now and then. You suppose that feeling sorry for him is a part of it, but it isn't the whole thing.

You mostly just brough extra clothes, swimming trunks, and a towel. And like ... soap and shampoo and sunscreen and stuff. The sort of things a normal person brings on a vacation.

Your room is basically like a fairly nice hotel room. It's got a bed, a closet, and a bathroom with a shower. Pretty nice for an airship.

You decide to force a smile and head out to explore the ship. You're in room 120, which is on the port side of the turtle. From what you remember, Pavane is in room 104, which puts her on the starbord.

There's a door to your right, where the hallway ends, marked 'no entry.' Probably for employees or maintenance or something. The rest of the hallway off to your left is rooms 111 - 119, and it turns off to the right if you get down to the end.

If you go swimming with her, you'll probably end up getting half drowned. But if you go to just hang out by the pool on a lounge chair, bad luck will just get you thrown into the water some how. A better result, overall. Wear your trunks, bring towels. Heck, may as well tell her exactly this.

That's it! We need to get together with Pavane! If you stay together long enough her good-luck curse will rub off on you, and yor bad-luck curse on her, resulting in an overall negation!

You are pretty certain that you couldn't fit into any of pavane's clothes. Except for -maybe- her turtleneck, but she probably didn't bring that. Also -- a bit creepy. Like a lot of a bit.

No, it's an airship that works with some weird hovering stone, you don't really know how it works. Everyone just calls it the turtle because it looks kind of like a turtle.

You decide to suck it up and climb the ladder, you already agreed to do this anyway. And if you're going to come on this disaster of a trip you may as well embrace it. At least you kept your swimming trunks on.

Coranto is already at the bar by the time you get to the top.

>'You know, I think this might be the only part of this that I miss.'

'Wait, what? Miss?'

You almost wish you were constantly being waylaid by deranged strangers. At least then you'd have someone to blame.

You make sure to grab onto that rail as tight as you can, very nearly wrapping yourself around it.

You resist the urge to hum.

>'Are you really worried about falling off that much? I do this all the time, it's totally safe.'

You opt to change the subject. 'So ... uh ... what's so bad about the job that you're quitting?'

Coranto takes a swig from the bottle, then hands you a glass and fills it up for you.

>'Basically it just takes up too much time. Sometimes I end up out on these tours, and even though they're amazing places, I don't end up going home for months at a time. My wife and I had a daughter, you see, and I basically missed her whole childhood on these cruises. So I decided to do something about it.

Clearly quite an age/status discrepancy between the two of you. He's got a wife and daughter? Then yeah, he needs to spend more time with them, but unless he's got enough saved to see them through the foreseeable future, he'd best have some other job (one not so time-consuming) planned.

He clearly doesn't understand what's going on here. I fear for his safety.

Unless you have a measurably real, quantifiable positive amount of good luck like my friend Pavane, for your safety I think it would be best if we at least sat down away from the railing."

He leans against the rail and laughs.

>'Haha, don't worry about it. Even if I did fall over the rail, the top of the turtle is wide enough that I wouldn't fall off. You should really lighten up.'

'Look, you might not have figured this out yet, but bad luck is a very real thing and I really am swimming in it. Bad things happen to me and to people around me.'

He smiles and takes a drink.

>Galliard, you worry too much about luck. So what if bad things happen beyond your control. If it's beyond your control there's nothing you can do about it. What you CAN do is control how you respond to those things. I think it's better to do whatever you can with whatever you've got to work with, even if it's not much. You can't control luck, but your fortune is yours to make.'

'No, you don't get it. I'm serious. You've already seen what a disaster this trip has been shaping out to be because I came along!'

You feel the turtle begin to lurch upward after the lightning strike, and quickly jump back into the shaft and begin sliding down the ladder.

Unfortunately, another bolt strikes at the top of the ladder! The electricity coursing through the ladder causes you to lose your grip and plummet to the base of the shaft.

"And my day was going so well, too."

Go get some proper clothing on, then return to Pavane's room.
Actually, just pack up everything and move into her room. You can crash on her couch or something, and if things get really bad you'll be there to tell her "I told you so". Or, you know, be able to help mitigate the disaster instead of being an ass about it.
Or, more importantly, being there so she doesn't need to worry about hypothetical bad things happening to you while the ship is in chaos.
(Also? Your room sucks, and she likes offsetting your luck.)

You make to follow the man to check on Coranto, but he quickly ushers you out of the area that you aren't supposed to be in.

Since you're right there, you decide to stop by your room and put on some actual clothes, as well as quickly packing your things. The ship is starting to go pretty damn crazy at this point, rocking back and forth as it continues to climb.

The PA chimes in while you are getting dressed:

>'Attention all passengers: There is an emergency on the ship. All passengers should proceed to their rooms and remain there in case lifeboats need to be engaged. Every effort is being made to regain control of the situation, but your safety is our absolute priority.'

Well shit.

You quickly select a brightly-colored shirt, gather your things, and head off toward Pavane's room. Almost immediately after you leave your room, you hear another loud CRACK and a crashing sound coming from your room. You opt not to bother checking, figuring it's best to hurry on to Pavane's.

As you round the corner, the ship pitches violently off toward the stern. You manage to keep your balance, but lose it as a chair careens out of the dining hall and crashes straight into your ribs.

The PA comes on again.

>'The storm has continued to worsen, and we have not been able to regain control of the ship. The decision has been made to abandon ship. Lifeboats are being readied, and can be accessed from the hatches in your rooms. Please proceed to them in an orderly fashion and await rescue. The craft should contain enough supplies for a week, and a rescue craft should be by once we fail to make a call at the appointed time.'

Given that the PA said that they didn't have control of the ship, you're pretty sure the turtle isn't capable of ANY sort of landing right now.

You make your way up the stairs. This entire deck is soaked, probably with the water from the pool. As you make your way toward Pavane's room, the crazed bucking of the ship seems to lessen slightly, but it feels almost like some sort of rumbling sensation is building up as you go.

When you reach the hallway before Pavane's room, she's already outside of her door with a towel over her bathing suit.

Since the floor seems to still be the floor that means they're keeping it mostly level. If it COULD float then hitting the water while level would be how it would do it.

Since you're not having trouble touching the floor it's obviously not an uncontrolled descent.

You dive to catch Pavane, dropping your bag as you jump. You catch hold of her hand just as the both of you careen through the recently exploded door.

It looks like something exploded and took out a large portion of this chunk of the ship. Much of what remains of this room is smoldering, but below you the side of the ship seems to be ripped open directly to the ominous black clouds. Apparently the turtle has been ascending more quickly than you thought.

Go search for another escape pod. There have to be some un-launched pods on this deck. Right?

You really don't feel like jumping out of the ship. With as bad as your luck is, you figure it's probably not a very good idea to tempt fate by doing things that are deliberately suicidal.

You rush back down the hall, but can't find any unlaunched pods. Unable to find any, you decide to head to the cabin. Even if the escape pods are gone, you can probably still use the console for something.

That's the part you're hoping to avoid.

And, you know, the whole 'dying' thing. The moment you take it for granted is the moment it'll bite you in the ass. Just like everything else.

It looks like there is an escape pod still here on the left! It seems like there's something wrong with the door, but peeking through it looks like everything is fine inside. The pilots probably both took the other pod when this one malfunctioned, since the one across the room has launched already.

>>406311

You are currently ON the bridge, and judging by the state of the console there's not going to be much controlling going on at all.

You can't find a refrigerator big enough to hide in. There is probably a storage box with some supplies in the unlaunched escape pod, that's as close as it gets.
