Why Do 90% Of All Medicines Sound Like Cool Wizard Names

Milli placed the bright yellow duck with an orange bill and orange webbed feet on the table in front of Tia, grinning widely. The feet appeared jointed and a large brass key stuck up from the back of the duck, large enough for small hands to manage. Carefully, Milli wound the duck up. After a few clicks it began to walk, taking flapping steps. Every few steps it stopped and its mouth opened and closed as it made a quacking sound. Then it would walk again.

“Everyone loved it,” she laughed. “I’m going to make some more for the Lion’s Arch orphans and Minister Albion from Lion’s Arch wants me to make 20 for the children of Lake Doric. So we’re going to be making a lot of ducks.”

She glanced at where Zahra, Naeem, and Taliyah were playing on the floor with Syrean’s entry, a magnificently detailed toy train. “And Syrean said she’d come by sometime today to ask the kids for their thoughts on the train. So I thought when she got here, we could all do something to celebrate. Like a picnic on the beach. Or maybe a trip to Divinity’s Reach? There’s a lot of neat places to eat there.”

The children were already jumping in with their own ideas for a celebratory dinner, but Milli just beamed at Tia. Her family was complete. And that’s all that mattered to her.

The small boxes were stacking up in the back room of the shop now, each one hand-wrapped and full of small things she had convinced local merchants to donate. There were pieces of chalk and ribbons, pencils and small stacks of paper, and little apple-flavored candies. Each duck would also give the recipient child a little surprise. 

Milli smiled at the orders, nearly completed for both the Lion’s Arch orphans and those in Lake Doric. She pulled out two pieces of parchment and wrote letters to the two women who would receive them.

Dear Captain Kallisto,

I have excellent news! The toys are nearly completed and packaged. They should be ready for pickup later this week. I have decided I would like to donate my time to your organization and so I have enclosed a bill for the parts only. Also, each package will also contain a small amusement and a piece of candy. I can only hope that these will brighten the day of the children who receive them. Thank you again for this opportunity and please reach out to me if there is anything else I can do to help your cause. Thanks!

Dear Minister Alban,

I am pleased to let you know that I have nearly finished your order of toys for the orphans of Lake Doric. The packages should be ready to pick up from my shop in Lion’s Arch by the end of the week. Each package contains a small amusement and a piece of candy. I hope these provide a bit of light in these dark times for the children of this tragedy. Thank you for being so kind as to commission me to make these. Your charitable deed will not go unrewarded, of this I am certain. Thanks!

The Fairy Tale Dead 

is a visual novel currently in development! Created and illustrated by A. “Laskull” Lamourt and co-written by Ash Louise, the game is a big and exciting project we’re working very hard to deliver to you. 💀

Click to enlarge the post and read all the goodies. ✨

This post is one of a few promos planned for the year. While the game doesn’t have a release date yet, we finally have a chance to share these basic bits of information with you, and hope you are excited about it as much as we are!

More information on it will soon be posted to thefairytaledead.com ✨

You can also follow the game on Twitter! And feel free to send any questions to our tumblr, thefairytaledead.tumblr.com.

Thank you so much everyone for your support! Reblogs are greatly appreciated, as we’re hoping to spread the word about this project. Have a spoopin’ day!  💀

Milli pulled out some of the nicer stationary she owned and settled the flask beside it, grinning at it in memory of the night she and Tia had had while taking sips of the aniseed-flavored liquor. But it was high time she get around to returning her correspondence.

Lady Lux,

Thank you for the kind words about my toy design the day of the contest and for spreading such joy with your brightness and your flask of interesting liquor. While I am afraid my partner and I have drained its contents, I still have possession of it and I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get it back to you. I’m afraid I don’t know where you live or else I would deliver it to you myself. If you would like, you can send me the address and I will come bring it by. You are also welcome to come by Bowyen Mechanicals in Lion’s Arch. We are located near the bay and if you come by, I would be happy to provide you with a duck toy of your choosing. It would make a lovely toy for a child or a fine gift to the charity of your choice. Thank you again for judging at the competition and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
