Your one consistent customer who is?

You have even one consistent customer?

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.

I agree, you need to work on marketing. Instead of selling 'cursed objects', say you are selling 'objects that make life more interesting'.

What's wrong with your head? Are you a unicorn?

>>263429
>>263430

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.

>>263434
Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt to wait around a bit longer. Maybe someone will forget to read the whole sign or something.

>half-unicorn with pessimistic thoughts

Well there's your problem.
One of these days you need to see if you have a unicorn alt-mode. Might be fun.

>>263434
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! Really fast discloser: Emporium of Ill Fortune and Assorted Cursed Antiquities is not responsible for any extensive injuries, violation of privacy rights, loss of life, love, or financial security."

>>263434
Do you looooooove her?

>>263434
So it can only be sold off? Damn, that's tough luck.

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

Target Goths and Emos, there all over that shit.

>>263436
>half-unicorn with pessimistic thoughts

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.

So today might not be total shit after all then. Look out for stuff that might make you trip and impale her. That would totally suck if it happened.

What exactly got you into this shitty business anyway?

Ever considered Friends with Benefits? Not that I'm suggesting anything but that is pretty bangin'. Well don't just stand there let her in, offer some coffee.

>>263465
Well, say hi! Surely if she's your only regular customer you've got some sort of little routine going by now.

>>263465
Oh, she showed up right as you were about to close.

Is that good luck or bad luck? Also why is her face pointy?

>>263465
Do you two socialize outside of the store? You should let her in to shop put the closed sign up, then you two can hang around and talk as she shops, or doesn't. And don't bitch about it, you are lucky to have a friend. Enjoy it.

Invite her in.
Ask her what she knows about Karma. And about unicorns.

Say hello. Offer her your fineries.

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.

>Follow GALLIARD or PAVANE

>>263506
I guess we can stick with Galliard for now.

So it doesn't really look like she's planning on buying anything... or like you're planning on being particularly sociable right about now. Oh well.

So what's this contest thinger she mentioned?

>>263506
>Believe it or not it is possible to be friends with someone and not want to fuck them.
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.

Oh right, voting for who to follow. I'll toss my chips on pointy-face Pavane. She seems nice.

>>263506
Let's chill out with Galliard, he might have won a contest!
Keep your hopes up, Galliard! Today might be the day where your luck changes and you win everything forever!

>>263506
Sorry dude, it's just reflex. Something abour stupid denile and shit. Hokay lets learn up about that damn contest.

I guess getting your business in order to get more customers isn't that important if your only reason for having it isn't financial and more about your head. I guess you just got some mega-head problems.

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.

>I guess you just got some mega-head problems.

What, so this is all about the horn again? Goddammit.

Oh well. Home sweet House.

>>263524
Nice mailbox.

Wonder if there's anything in it?

>>263524
...do you enter EVERY contest? Even those who give away prizes you REALLY don't want to win? "Winner gets an irate badger stuffed into their pants!" type deals?

>>263524
>Pavane's luck is nowhere near bad enough for her to fall for you.

Luck is a matter of perspective, unicorn boy.

>>263528
Nonetheless, if it would bad luck for her to fall for you consider that she has been buying your bad luck constantly. Maybe I'm wrong, but where do you think it's all been going?

>>263524
Head as is Psychological problems. Depression, bad self-image making you desire to feel normal, you know the deep stuff.

>>263524
Looks like there's something in there. Well open that fucker and see what's there.

>>263524
I'm sorry, you won. Pavane most likely also won, or if it's a trip for two then she'll want to go with you.
I'd assume this is why she bought all that bad luck, but you'd be better off just asking her.

>>263524
You've got mail!

>>263528

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

>>263583

>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.

>>263525
>>263616
>>263637

Yep, there's some mail here.

>>263702
Well open it already, not like it's going to make anything worse.

Hey you ever try to burn your bad luck by failing to do stupid shit? Or does that not work. I almost think that if you tried to throw yourself at the ground you'd miss, and end up flying.

>>263702

And are completely unsurprised with the results.

You aren't entirely sure why you were starting to expect anything else.

>>263786
It's a scam. Throw it away.

>>263786
Read the rest of it. It will reveal that you are in fact, a winner.

>>263786
Existance really seems quite shitty. Ever tried suicide?

>>263786
Not a winner!
A SUPER WINNER!

>>263786
Wonder why they sent you that in a giant envelope. Oh well!

So, um, what do you do when you're not trying to sell bad luck to people?

>>263786
Read it ALL, horseface.

Do you happen to know the precise wording of your curse? Just out of curiosity.

>>263786
its "no1 a winner", isnt it?

Read the whole damn thing first.

I meant trying to achieve strongly negative things and failing at that, not just losing at small odds of good things. Outright subverting the curse would be fantastic, but I guess the odds of it working like that are...

Oh.

Well uh... never know until you try, right? Bounce a ball off the wall so it hits you in the face. If it misses you harmlessly you might have something there.

>>263853
>>Bounce a ball off the wall so it hits you in the face. If it misses you harmlessly you might have something there.
It's going to miss his face because it will be hitting him in the unicorn nads.

>>263853
I see what you're trying to do. He's trying to hit himself in the face, which he will fail at. So all he has to do is want to lose at things to succeed.

>>263789
He would fail horribly and instead of killing himself would just hurt himself just enough that he does not die.

>>263789

Oh, hell no. If you ever tried that you'd probably just fail and end up even worse off than you already are.

>>263791

Mostly just hang around, try to stay out of people's way. You used to go around and try to do stuff like help out with charities, figured maybe if you did some good; good things would happen to you for a change.

It didn't really work out.

>>263793

You don't really know if there's any 'wording' involved here. You're pretty sure you were born this way.

>>263947

You're pretty sure that isn't going to work. If you're trying to fail so that good things happen to you by failing at failing, the good things are still your ultimate goal.

Thus far the universe has been pretty good at making you suffer. You doubt it's going to be that easy to 'trick' it.

You decide to sit back and read the whole letter.

>'NOT A WINNER

>Mr. GALLIARD RATHAMON, we regret to inform you that you did not win the most recent contest hosted by the HAPPY CONTEST CORPORATION. We hope that you will consider entering our next wave of contests, which blah blah blah blah blah blah blah'

This all seems like pretty standard 'you lose again' schlock. It looks like the envelope also has a small catalog of entry forms for further contests. You'll probably fill those out in a little bit and send them back.

>>264569
Lets fill 'em in, then.

So, if we're one of the unluckiest motherfuckers on Earth, how come our home or shop didn't burn down yet? Why don't we stumble and break our faces at any other step? How did we manage to not accidentally die?

Actually, if we're so certain our horn is the lead cause to all our problems, why didn't we just saw it off?

hmmm, you seem to have a message on your machine.

>>264569

Listen to your answering machine.

>>264569
Give us the lowdown on magical objects. There must be something in this universe immune to bad luck and curses.

>>264569
Ever thought about sharing your pain with the world? You know, walk around and see if your bad luck ever causes some shitty stuff to happen to those around you and stuff.

>>264583
>share your pain with the world

You could start a LiveJournal, although I'm not exactly sure how that would help.

>>264569
Solution:
Go on craigslist and put up a listing for "ALL MY BAD LUCK". Offer people $500 to take it off your hands.

Oh, and check your answering machine.

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.

Bad things don't necessarily happen TO people around you, but sometimes the things that happen to you are a big enough deal to hurt them too.

You don't own a computer.

That isn't an answering machine light, it looks like your phone accidentally went on silent somehow.

Instead of checking your answering machine, you decide to answer your phone.

>'Hi, Galliard! Did you win?'

Oh. It's Pavane.

'Nah, got an envelope with a big 'not a winner' message and everything. It's not like I expected to win anyway, the chances of winning are like one in three million.'

>'Aww, that's a shame. I was really hoping we'd be able to go on the trip together.'

There's some sort of low thumping sound, but it quickly passes.

'Ah, so you won it? Congratulations.'

>'Yeah, the guy from the Friendly Contest Conglomerate just came by with my ticket. I was so excited I decided to call and see if you won, too!

The thumping is back. It's louder now, sounds like it's coming from the door.

In fact, it IS coming from the door.

tell her that someone is nocking on your door and you will ether be right back or maulled by bears or some shit.

>>264619
Say, if objects around us turn cursed after a while, wouldn't we be technically mailing people a bunch of our bad luck? Or is that included under "not being honest about it?"

I guess we should go see what's all that racket is about.

Answer the door then, don't be rude.

>The horn has never been broken and cannot be harmed
New theory. The horn is absorbing all of your good luck and replacing it with bad luck.

>>264619
Tell her somebody's at the door, then go check it out.

Open da door

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.

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.

He's a nice guy, yeah?

>>264967
Is that so?
You have absurdly good luck, he has absurdly bad luck. Clearly, you need to marry him to trade half of your good luck for half of his bad luck so your luck will average out.

Man, this really is kind of far afield. Wonder why he chooses to live out here?

Well, what are you waiting for? Head on over there.

He isn't answering his door, and it's locked. You have a key, but you aren't sure if you should go in or not. Maybe he just wants some privacy?

>>264979

Knock loudly and ask if he's alright.

the last you heard was him falling down. he could be unconsious and unable to come to the door. and it's locked since he locked it when he came home. if you have a key but never use it then it is pointless for you to have one. so use the damn thing.

Just go in and shout loudly to announce your presence just in case.

He could have tripped and fallen on a breadknife or whatever leaving him bleeding to death helpless. You have that key for a reason.

>>264979
If you have a key then it is always ok to go in. Try and see if he answers you asking for him loudly first though, that's only polite.

You decide to let yourself in to the house, but he still hasn't responded to any of your calling out.

Hey, who's in that picture on the wall?

>>265424
Is he hiding behind the couch? Really?

Walk up to him and yank on his horn. To get his attention, right.

>>265432
Seems a bit silly, but if that's really him behind the chair then go ahead. Just be careful not to get impaled if he jumps. And maybe you should be ready to run for some first aid in case he was mauled by a bear.

I came as soon as I heard... you drop the phone.

So what happened?

He doesn't say anything, he just holds up ... a dream trip ticket?!

>>265961
Be as stunned as he seems to be!

>>265961
Act like you knew this would happen all along.

>>265961
Tell him you're so very, very sorry.
You know what his outlook is like; he does these things to get rid of bad luck, so he thinks that winning means something really bad is going to happen. He probably thinks the trip is going to be a disaster in every sense of the word, or that he's used up all his GOOD luck and something else truly terrible is going to befall him as a result.
Tell him that the two of you are going together, and you're not going to let him be miserable!

Cheerfully remind him that if he refuses to go, something bad will probably happen. And if he goes, something bad will probably happen. So why not suffer *together*? :3

>>265964
A lot of conflicting suggestions here, but I say just go with this one. He won! He should be excited! Let's cheer him up

'Oh come on, don't be silly! We finally get to go on a trip together! It'll be fun!'

>'But ... uh ... something bad is probably going to happen. Like ... something REALLY bad. It's probably best if I don't go...'

'No buts! Things are finally going well for you! Instead of being all mopey, you should try to be excited!'

You decide to back up toward the turtle. It helps to alleviate the looming feeling of dread since you are able to not constantly focus on the source of your likely impending doom.

Suddenly, you feel something bump into you from behind, shocking you! Then you feel some arms wrap around you. It must be Pavane.

>'Hi there Galliard! I'm sooooo glad you made it! Here, I brought your ticket! Let's hurry up and board the turtle, I think they said picking us up was the last stop!'

Don't give up on your backwards plan, it is flawless and will always protect you. Get on dat turtle.

>>270374
Start gently weeping as you are dragged into the bus.

>>270374
She is totally flirting with you right now. You've got to put her down gently, and by that I mean squeak out that you're both totally going to die because of your bad luck and you'll feel terrible when she's gone - at least until whatever kills her gets you.

oh no wait I mean get on the transport turtle

Tell her that she shouldn't go with you but at least if she does you're glad she's your friend and you hope she has a good time at least.

So she didn't lose the ticket after all, eh? That's a shame. Where's the dream trip taking us, by the way?

And you may as well get on the turtle like a normal person. No use in backing up onto it; it's not like anything you do could possibly reverse your terrible fortune.

>>270374
Put your arms over hers and hold her tight.
"Pavane, I can't have good luck. This is going to turn horrible, but I can't think of anybody I'd rather be with when things go wrong.
...
Before we get on that turtle I need you to promise me one thing; please... promise me that no matter what happens you'll keep yourself safe. No matter what."

Some Island Paradise resort. You didn't really pay that much attention since you expected to ... well... not win the contest.

You decide to go ahead and board the turtle. Before you do, though, you take Pavane's hand.

'Pavane ... you really shouldn't go. I mean ... something awful is going to happen.'

>'Galliard, stop worrying so much! It'll be fine!'

'I really don't think so, but I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have things go wrong with'

>'Ummmmm... what?

'Just promise me that if something does go wrong, you'll make sure to keep yourself safe, okay? No matter what.'

Well, that was pretty awkward.

We should man the fuck up and quit being a whiny bitch already.

Why did you actually say that.

Oh well!

Go on onto the turtle thingy.

"Nope. But not going to let that stop me." Then get your asses moving, you don't want fate to get impatient.

"Good things don't happen to me; you know that. Since this is happening to me it can't be good.

You head to your room, and a short while later you feel a slight shaking as the Turtle lifts off and sets off towards your destination. Apparently the trip is going to take about two and a half days; the turtle is certainly luxurious for an aircraft but it isn't terribly fast.

>>271775
Since you know bad shit is going to happen to you either way, now would be a good time to explore the ship - you can plot out an escape route for yourself and Pavane in case anything goes wrong.

That's a rather optimistic shirt. What kind of stuff did you bring?

Nose around your room and see what's in it.

okay, galliard, stop being so mopey for a moment, you're only embarassing yourself. you're on a dream trip vacation with your only friend; you should make the most of it! force a smile every so often! who knows, maybe pavane is right and your luck turned around? seems that you survived the past few days just fine. you could have a really good time. you have to cheer up first, though!

just, yknow, keep one eye open at all times looking for any signs of impending doom. maybe fate will be kind and you'll only have a normal amount of bad luck. we know you can at least handle that much on a day-to-day basis. you is a survivor.

now go explore that ship! maybe we should grab pavane first?

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.

>>273161
Go down the hallway you are allowed to go down. Try to wander to the deck or the bar or something.

>>273161
There you go, that's a nice big smile! Barge into the 'no entry' door, there's probably some sweet exploring to do in there. Make sure you strut like you own the place and keep smiling.

I suggest you get Pavane before trying to find a place with seats, a window and some drinks. Then you can sit and watch the world sail by below you.

>>273161
...Tell you what, practice smiles in front of a mirror later. For now just try to hold a *slight* grin.

the hall turns around to the right. Over to your right are a few sets of double doors that look like they all go to the same large room. on the left wall there are a few staircases up to the second deck.

straight ahead the hall curves back around to the right, and there's a sign that says that's where rooms 101-110 are.

Lets go into the large room because why the fuck not, right.

You head through the double doors into the large room. It looks like some sort of big dining room with a buffet and bar at one end. There are some other passengers here, they mostly seem to be keeping to themselves though there are a few talking to each other.

>>273231
Lock eyes with that angry guy and stare at him while you keep smiling and walking over to the bar, and buy a bottle of wine to take over to Pavane's room. That way you have a potential makeshift weapon and a way to romance ladies!

I think someone is racist against unicorn boys.

>>273231
Are you still smiling? Stop smiling.

Agreed, the smile is creepy and should not be made in front of other people.

Keep up the positive attitude, Galliard! Aren't you having such a good time already? Look, you walked down an entire hallway and nothing bad has happened yet! Things are bound to get even better!

Need anything from the cafe? Some wine, perhaps, or snacks? Grab it and then go find Pavane. Doesn't seem like there's much to do here anyway, and I'm sure she's looking for adventure as much as you are!

The barman picks out a wine for you when you ask, since you don't know much of anything about wines. You hear some chairs scooting around, and what sounds like a lot of people leaving the room.

>>280145
There must be an event of some kind they are all shuffling off to! It's not that word spread about you at all, that would be ridiculous! Ask the barman what all the hepcats do around here, you don't want to be out of the loop.

Ask the bartender what's going on first. I'm sure he has some clue and you'll want to know before stumbling after it. I mean what if they're all going to a.. a square dance or something? Well probably not that but you get the idea. Info and then reaction, or rather info and then go get tipsy with Pavane.

DO NOT say its bad wine

good wine is not so dry and VERY sour. cheap wine is sweet and still tastes to grape juice

Is the wine turning sour in your mouth or something? Your bad luck is reaching biblical proportions.

This is a cue that you should be drinking spirits. Nothing like 40% in the back of the throat to take the sting off your hardships.

none of you ever had good wine. i am disapoint.

you dont drink wine like you do beer, just take small sips of it or else you will end up not flavoring it. think of it like a strong drink, it will help for you to understand where its flavor is.

You are the incarnation of bad luck. Everything you do will be a disaster. The question you have to ask yourself is, will this be more disastrous then usual? Keep in mind that Pavane is their to balance you out, so nothing TOO big can happen.

Of course Galliard. You knew this wasn't going to be great, but your entire life will be like this.
You may as well enjoy the time you're spending with the only person in the world immune to your bad luck.

Well ask Pavane what she expects from this trip.

Have you ever thought of becoming a health & safety inspector? You could probably find hazards in workplaces without even trying. On the other hand that would kind of help you with your job so perhaps you WOULDN'T have any terrible accidents.

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.

Or you could just not go at all and Pavane will just be sad.

>>290226
Begin inexplicably drowning in shallow water.

>>290226
Tell her only your pride was hurt, and you had that surgically removed when you were twelve.
Unless you're actually injured, anyway.

See who can dive and swim the furthest underwater. Also make sure you check out Pavane's hot legs as she swims.

You aren't going to drown in water you can stand in. That would just be dumb.

'Ugh ... I'm fine, I don't think I broke anything or anything.'

>'Are you sure? You don't really look fine.'

'Yeah ... I'm sure. Hey, let's play a game. We can ... uh ... dive down and see who can swim the farthest underwater ...'

>'Okay! But you'd better watch out, I'm going to win!'

You dive under and start to swim along. You're a pretty good swimmer, so you're pretty sure that you'll be able to win. Even though your ass hurts. And you swallowed some of the pool water. You aren't really feeling all that well.

>>301633
Just concentrate on swimming and staring at DAT AYUSS.

>>301633
You better watch out, Galliard. She is going to win.
You might want to just surface before you vomit all over Pavane and the pool, that would be awkward!

>>301633
It's cool. We're not bleeding out our ass yet.

Did we know swimming after alcohol is a really bad idea? Might wanna resurface before we puke underwater.

damn, you probably swallowed a blob of piss or a denser amount of chlorine. anyway if you start feeling like you can't take it anymore then get on the edge and just sit there.

>>301633
Do NOT vomit in the pool. If you feel you're going to, leave.

>>301633
Take it easy, try to tie.

Chlorine poisoning.
Time to get out of the pool, tell Little Miss Cutesy Pants that you're feeling sick.

You hurry up, passing Pavane for the sake of reaching the edge of the pool as quickly as you can.

>'Galliard?! Are you ...'

NO YOU FOOL! saying it's not so bad is GUARANTEED to make it worse.
just lay there and thank her for watching over you.

Man. Are you allergic to chlorine? Look around.

>>301655

A quick check reveals that you are still in your swimming trunks.

>>301659

Not that you're aware of. You're sure that swallowing a bunch of pool water after drinking that nasty wine sure didn't help things.

A quick look around reveals you to be in a much more stately room, with a full dresser, a mini-bar, and apparently a full bathroom off to the side. One entire wall is a window opening up to a seaside view. You aren't entirely sure if the sun is rising or setting, but it's pretty near the horizon. You also spot

>>301657
>>301658

Pavane, sleeping on the couch. You aren't sure if it's a good idea to wake her, she must have been pretty tired after taking care of you.

>>301687
We'll likely fall flat on our face and wake her up when we get out of bed. Just sayin'.

If not, lets be adventurous and look around the room for items of interest! Without touching anything, of course.

look at the floor and make sure nothing is there you could trip on. then get up, slowly.

>>301687
Move her to the bed and tuck her in. Sleep next to her, but if it makes you more comfortable you can have a sheet or something between the two of you.

Oh, and wrap your horn in a towel and tape it on so you don't poke her with it while you sleep.

...you should probably stay perfectly still so nothing goes wrong.

Hmm. Is there anything unlucky about having a friend like her? Maybe the unlucky part is you're both not interested in a romantic relationship with the other.

>>301687
Relax for a bit and admire the view. Realize how lucky you are to have a friend like her.

>>301703
This. Pavane is pretty great. And mostly untouchable by your shitty luck.

Get out of bed, and carry her to it. Your bad luck already had it's way, so her good luck will keep you from dropping her or anything. Then you can go back to your room, she'll know you put her to bed which will go over fine.

You carefully get out of bed. You still have a bit of a headache, but feel a lot better than you did earlier.

>>301688

There's not a whole lot around the room, it looks like Pavane tucked her suitcase underneath the bed. You can't tell if she put stuff in the wardrobe provided or not without touching it. It looks like she hasn't really messed with much of anything.

>>301695

Well, a tree fell on you after you met her and you had to spend a while in traction, that wasn't very fun. But other than that she's basically the best thing that's ever happened to you.

>>301694

You're pretty sure that sleeping with Pavane isn't exactly the greatest idea. It's kind of creepy.

>>301703

It's pretty much the only way you are.

The view is pretty nice, you guess.

>>301757
You up to anything or still sick? Either way, just chill with a movie if the TV's nearby and Pavene's not too light a sleeper. Of course with your luck the damn th...
you know what, no, I'm not tempting that fate.
With your luck of expecting the expected bad luck of not being able to expect any form of good luck thanks to your horrendous bad luck, you may or may not have the TV be perfectly maybe dangerously okay...
You know what, fuck it, let's go to imagination land. There has to be something more than good there that isn't just Pavene.

>>301757
>The view is pretty nice, you guess.

I meant the view of Pavane, you dork.
Is it dinnertime yet? Maybe you should order room service for her.

Maybe you two could go check out that glass bottom boat thing they got going on in the dining room they said they would be doing tonight when Pavane wakes up.

>>301756

You decide to move Pavane over to her bed. She's a pretty heavy sleeper so she doesn't do much more than mutter and shift as you move her over and tuck her in to the best of your ability.

You aren't very good at tucking.

>>301761
>>301764

You decide to maybe try doing something nice for Pavane when she gets up, but you should probably put on some actual clothes before you do. You decide to head out, give her some time to nap, and then come back when you're, well, clad.

You head out of the room and close the door behind you.

>'Hey there, Galliard. You holding up okay?'

Try not to scream in surprise.

Whodat?

Flex your muscles and say "What do you think?"
Also, who is this guy?

>>301766
"I'm a freak hybrid who is literally cursed to a life of nothing but bad luck. How the fuck do you -think- I'm holding up?"

>>301766
"I'm sick and humiliated on the first day of the trip. 'bout on par I'd say."

"I don't know who you are, I'm not sure I care, talk to me again after I have some pants."

Punch him in the face and run away!

'Well ... I drank a bunch of bad wine, hurt myself jumping into a pool, puked outside of said pool, passed out, and am generally ruining this trip for my friend. So, all things considered, the trip is going a bit better than I expected at least. Who are you?'

>'Oh, I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Coranto, Coranto Tirek. I work here. I've heard a lot about you from your friend Pavane and a bit being whispered between the other passengers. Apparently the townsfolk were giving them some sort of dire warnings about you when we stopped in the city to pick you two up.'

>>301779
"They are just racist against unicorns."

>>301780
Yes.

>>301779
Oh just tell him you're basically a font of bad luck.

"if it was just me the warning would be all fine and well but with pavane here it's nothing to worry about."

>>301779
"I am a source of horrible bad luck but I use most of it on myself, close friends and paying customers with good insurance."

"I dunno, man. Whatever. What do you want?"

Why not just ask him what he's heard?

>>301779
Sweet Jesus what are those spikes coming out of his head?

Stare at them.

Nononono! Do not tell him you're bad luck!
With your luck, he might throw you overboard.
Either say they're uni-racist or that they think you're bad luck, not that you are!

>>301780
This is probably a better idea than just saying we have bad luck. Ask him what he's heard.

Whatever you do, don't call people racist that aren't actually racist.

Don't need to say anything about what they were told, it's not like you really know.

>>301796
This.

>>301865
Good idea. This is more accurate anyhow.
I mean, it's true the items we own absorb the bad luck over time, but we're only here for a month after all...

Wait, let me reread what i said...
>the items we own absorb the bad luck over time
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!

Normally I would say you'd be unlucky enough that it would simply make her have bad luck too, but this is magic vs. magic now.

time to crossdress

>>302420
Naw, that'd curse Pavane. That'd be shitty of us! The most effective way to do it would be to wear Pavane's clothing all the time. Assuming, of course, that she blesses things the same way Galliard curses things.

Make sure to ask Pavane if you can crossdress with her clothes when you're having a really romantic moment during dinner.

ok, so the three options so far are:
1. They are racist against unicorns.
2. just shrug.
3. admit to being a font of bad luck.

I am voting for #2

It looks like some sort of ridiculous haircut. Alas, you remain the only passenger on this ship with one or more spikes coming out of their head.

>>302426

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.

>Assorted

'Whatever. I guess I'm unlucky. What do you want?'

>'Aww, no need to be gruff. Figured you could do with someone else to talk to, and since the rest of the passengers don't seem inclined here I am!'

'...'

>'And, well, I'm about to head topside and watch the sunset from the observation deck. But, well, drinking alone kind of sucks.'

tell him fine, but you need to sit a ways from eachother and don't go anywhwere near a railing.

>>307582

"I tend to vomit when I drink. I don't think you want me around."

Asking a shirtless guy with a phallic object sticking out of his head to watch the sunset and share a drink together? Go for it. This couldn't possibly turn out wrong.
