i have seen what the darkness does
say goodbye to who i was
Coffee and muffins are a wonderful way to get Milo’s attention, his hands easily swiping one cup and a muffin to devour. And after yesterday’s blunder, Milo’s inspecting his fingers for any left behind splinters from days prior until everyone else arrives – a smirk given toward Aurelia with a nod. “Gonna try not to. Can’ make any promises, though.” A wink is given towards her before he’s bringing the beds in.

Or at least… Attempting to. The first bed goes in relatively smoothly, a stubbed toe has him barking a curse. But he recovers, shifting toward moving in the next bed. And it all goes fucking poorly from there. The wall is hit and in his surprise, he drops it square on his foot. A mixture of curses leaving him again and again, spying Ray as she arrives to check on him and all he can do is offer a quiet laugh through the pain and an apology.

Seems like the others have just about as shitty of a day.

Luckily with Ray’s help and the bandage, he manages to help her set up the rooms. As for the next day? He already intends to help fix the dent in the wall since he was the one that caused it. He arrives without a limp though, flashing an almost amused smile Ray’s way. Turns out he’s got healing magic, and managed to heal much of the pain in his foot the night in between. Still, he says nothing to Nate’s appearance, simply offering a grateful grin back and grabbing another coffee and slice of cake to start.

Then he gathers the required materials and gets to work repairing the wall.

Well, that's irritating. When the shelves come entirely undone, spilling their contents across the floor, Aurelia spends the rest of her day seething under her skin. You've got to be kidding me. She's topped, though, or at least evenly matched, by Nate and Milo's shenanigans. Nate definitely tops a few shelves falling down. The explosion draws her concerned attention but, she erupts into laughter at the sight of Nate covered in dark soot with a half an eyebrow. Well, at least his misfortunate takes the edge off of her own.

***

"Yeah, someone else can have a go at those shelves," Aurelia chimes in when Nate offers to do it, clear agitation in her tone. She does not want to deal with them again. "I'll cover your... uh... science-experiment-gone-wrong, Eyebrow," she adds with a chuckle, grabbing perhaps a few too many slices of the cake he brings.

She grabs some cleaning supplies and, when it's all said and done, she'll take a broom to the entire shop.



Aurelia can HOPEFULLY handle the soot stain/debris! Then she'll sweep up everything~

A panther in the night, a fire burning bright.


Ray walks in the next morning, exceedingly wary and a bit hopeful. It couldn't possibly get any worse, right? Her feet drag behind her, the bags under her eyes highly visible. Someone had to stay up all night doing paperwork and filing for all of the incoming shipments. And the damage report from yesterday's shenanigans. Can't forget that.

Regardless, she greets everyone with a smile. "Good morning. Let's get this place clean and turn in early. Hopefully tomorrow we can get to the fun task of decorating. No one get hurt today, ok? I'll smack you if you do." Ray demands, her voice strict but the effect is ruined with a barely stifled yawn.  She vaguely notices that Milo is fully healed, and simply shakes her head in amusement before getting to work.

Nate starts a bit slowly this morning, perhaps out of caution. But once he gets going, repairing the shelves is easy. Efficiently, and without injuries he securely reattaches them to the wall. From there it's no effort at all to restock the shelves. All in all he gets his work done in only an hour or so.

Milo has little trouble today. Using plater and some fresh paint, the wall is quickly fixed. And Milo only gets a bit of paint on himself that easily comes off in the sink.

Aurelia at first finds it difficult to get the soot off the wall without it just smearing everywhere. But a quick change in cleaner and it comes out with no issue. The wall is soon sparkly clean, and after a bit of sweeping, it's like nothing ever happened.

While everyone else finds success, Ray does the opposite. She managed to help Nate get started but upon sitting down for a few seconds to get a drink of water, her luck ends. Ray falls asleep right then and there and doesn't wake up until the work is already complete.  Stirring at the sounds of people approaching, she finally comes to.

"Oh shit. I fell asleep. Sorry guys. I was up all night doing damage control from yesterday. Everything is done? And no one got hurt? Yay. Goodnight." Ray waves her hand lazily before closing her eyes again. "Grab some snacks on your way out, they're on the counter. Tomorrow we decorate." And with that, she's out cold.

New day! New tasks!
1. Decorate the new pharmacy and infirmary (paint and whatever else you think works!)
2 . Freshen up the older section with new paint and decorations.
3. Make a new shop sign that says Lunarium Apothecary.

NATE

Finally, he has a day go his way, no disaster striking as he repairs and restocks the shelf. Some pessimistic part of him insists a it’s merely a fluke, the build up to something much worse, though it’s easy to ignore. Wouldn’t it be nice if the worst he had to worry about was fucking up some DIY.

While decorating isn’t exactly a passion of his, he has a few personal touches he wants to add, both for Ray and for the space itself. She’d gone the extra mile helping with his home, for gods sake, he could return the favour. When he arrives the next morning, it’s with an armful of homespun blankets (not by him, obviously, but it’s the thought that counts) and his usual coffee and breakfast, oatmeal and fruit this morning.

”Did you get some good sleep last night?” He teases Ray with a grin, before getting to work. The blankets are laid out on the prepared beds first thing, just to get them out of his arms, and from there Nate picks up a paintbrush and gets to work on the walls. He chooses a light green, meant to be calming, soothing.



Nate starts painting the new space, and has brought blankets for the beds!

The threat of getting smacked by Ray has Milo working extra hard to ensure that he does a good job, even if it’s completely for show. But he manages it, taking his time with the plaster to fill the hole he’d created in the wall and moving onto the paint to cover it up completely once the plaster has dried. And for not being too good at most handyman tasks, Milo finds himself doing a well enough job that he can’t help the smile from his face, the glow he embraces the rest of the day – especially as he meanders his way toward Aurelia and playfully teases her the rest of the day once he’d finished his task.

As for Ray falling asleep, Milo can’t help the huff of laughter at her easy dismissal, finding it easy to slip out of the space and heading home for an attempt at a good nights sleep without pain from fucking up somehow today.

The next day, however, Milo arrives with excitement, darting toward the breakfast Nate’s spread out. “Thank Frey.” He rumbles, moving to grab coffee and food to devour, before peering at what’s left once Nate’s picked his task. “Imma make th’sign.” He announces, flashing a grin to Aurelia before drifting toward the sign and the smaller paintbrushes, to design it delicately with the new name.

Aurelia arrives the next day no worse for wear. Cleaning soot had been a much-needed break from nailing in stubborn shelves, even the old callouses built up on her hands had become sore. And Nate isn't the only one arriving with something; she's bringing a nice, big, potted ivy plant in her arms. She dives into the food Nate leaves, offering him a muffled 'thank you' of sorts. Then, she takes to repainting the old walls. Paint is simple enough, so she thinks she should have an easy time of it. Hopefully.

Although, there is a point where she goes over to Milo and, to get back at him for teasing her the other day, she aims to catch him by surprise and leave a streak of paint across his cheek.

Anyway, fun and games aside, she eventually comes around to decorating. She cleans up messes they leave behind on the counters and wipes off any offending paint, before finding places for the little decorations Ray might already have laying around. The ivy plant she'd brought, a gift for Ray's shop, is placed somewhere near the front.



Aurelia freshens up the old space with paint and plants and whatever else knick-knacks Ray has around! :D

A panther in the night, a fire burning bright.


Ray is feeling far better the next day after getting so much needed sleep. She gorges herself on the offered food happily and downing a cup of coffee as everyone arrives
"Alright! Last day! Unless something else explodes that is." She says cheerfully and sending a teasing glance at Nate before continuing. "Let's get to it!"

The day starts off on a high note. Nate has no trouble whatsoever with his task. The green color he chose goes perfectly with the blankets he brought and the infirmary is left looking like a soothing and inviting place. It's spotless and with with a few finishing touches, a few paintings and other decorations, and the infirmary is ready for use.

Milo also has great luck today. The sign he crafts is beautiful. A simple wood sign with the shop's name in blue letters. But it is the delicately painted plants and vines along the rim that make it perfect. And as a bonus, it shows no signs of falling anytime soon.

Aurelia too shares in the good fortune mostly. With a fresh coat of blue paint, a few old decorations cleaned up,  and the plant she brought placed perfectly, the old shop looks brand new. However, when Aurelia goes to get paint on Milo as revenge, she makes a mistake. The lid on the paint tin isn't sealed properly as she stands up. And when her foot knocks into it, the paint can tilts and spills all over her foot. And the brush she was planning to strike Milo with flies out of her hand and smacks Ray instead. Thankfully given that the paint is fresh, it is cleaned up without any trouble. But Aurelia's shoe might be permanently dyed.

Ray can't believe her shop is coming to life around her. It's amazing to watch the progress. She helps Nate add the last finishing touches to the infirmary before checking on Milo. Seeing that he needs zero help whatsoever she tries to help Aurelia. She gets a face full of paint instead. Ray helps Aurelia with the clean up, laughing the entire time.

Once the work is done Ray is left grinning at her companions, her mind is blown at the transformation. "The shop looks amazing! I can't thank you all enough. I couldn't have done this without you." Truly the shop looks incredible, they should all be proud. With one last glance around, Ray hugs them all or just shakes their hand if they don't want a hug. "I really can't thank you all enough. If you ever need me, don't hesitate to ask. Grab some cookies on your way out. I'll see you around!"

And we're done! Thank you so much everyone!! The Lunarium Apothecary is officially open! If you put finally replies you can but it's not mandatory. Otherwise this PQ is officially complete.

FIN
