The Shop

SpoilerShow

I made a fanart! Not sure if you saw it in the fanartery thread, but here ya go!

Casey Deadman's madness has made me laugh and I was overtaken by a compelling force to make this tribute.



More 'The Shop' fanart? maybe someday. maybe it's the shopkeep.

This looks amazing, thank you!!
I'm having trouble finding the appropriate words, but this really is a big Casey Thumbs Up!

Open the cash register.

It seems you need a key or password to unlock it.

>Inspect designs of souvenir shirts. Perhaps they are glyphs imbued with magical properties.

You skim the shelf, but don't recognize any glyphs or symbols of magical significance.

Sam:
"It makes sense. Laying about random runes is just asking for trouble—
Hold on..."

Sam pulls out a shirt from the pile.


Sam:
"The Mark of the Black Sun.
It's just a mark, but not really something you'd see sold everyday."

> Turn the papers G, A and E over.

You turn the rest of notes over.

>Flip all the cards around and switch the flutes. Surely this is the solution. Become morally outraged if it is not.

You rearrange the display in what you think is the solution.



While nothing visibly happens as a result, you feel a fatal strike to your pride.
Sam silently pats your shoulder in consolation.

> You feel like this is familiar somehow. Not this place but... the situation? Trapped with someone... in a room behind a locked door. E-C-E-D-D-E-C-E.

> ...

> This thing is going to be inside us all along, isn't it.

You play the Song of the Lost Gate.
"E-C-E-D-D-E-C-E"

You hear the unlocking click of a door.
Not the front door, but the closet in the back.

You hear a familiar voice call out from the other side.

Sam(?):
"Hello? Is anyone out there?!"

You feel someone pull at your hand. Behind you, Sam quietly shakes her head.
