week 1

[arsholes]

[Yesterday was, to say the least, an eventful time. 21 people waking up in an alarming kidnapping situation, tempers got heated, salt was thrown, the usual flavor of shenanigans.

Your Alchemist made his appearance, got into several arguments, scruffed a teen and nailed a god. All in all, a productive time! It doesn’t seem like he’ll be making any more public appearances this week but he did say to give him a call.

If you don't want to converse with the Alchemist, there's a whole tower to explore! Check out all the dusty nooks and crannies, read some smutty literature, try to build a death ray, take a cozy bath- the Montessori method of learning. Curiously, starting on Monday there are mysterious leaflet catalogs scattered in several rooms of the tower. There’s no shop name on it, but there are pictures of a variety of fun and fanciful items, just a preview of the many rare and/or exotic goods you could get from one of the shop's Grand Opening Sale blind boxes. There is also a large wooden chest that has appeared in the Entrance Hall right next to the grand entrance doors, despite the fact that they remain locked. A locked mailbox hangs on the wall above the box, along with several envelopes. The mailbox says "CATALOG ORDERS", and there is a handwritten note that adds: "Write your name on the envelope as well as your order. INCLUDE PAYMENT, or it's no deal. <3"

In related news, many of you will also be receiving mysterious gold coins on top of your trunk – maybe this is the payment referenced?


Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday


(( OOC: This will be the last mod post for this week! Feel free to start submitting catalog orders for any threads that aren't with the Alchemist. This is a peace week, so get all that CR while you can! ))

[Wu pulls back a bit, but he's still keeping an arm around Katsuya's shoulders] This is great! It'll be so much easier to get through this with a friend. Me and my new buddy,...

4/4

[seaweedwrap]

[...wait. Wu trails off a moment, frowning a bit, tilting his up to look at Katsuya]

...what is your name, again?

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

[Nod, nod. She pulls the transmitter out of her obi and sets up the map function, comparing the two as she approaches.]

It looks pretty accurate! I mean, if I tried it, it might not be so great...

[amitiesbind]

He's a Doberman. Big guy, loves hanging out with students. Probably knows the Academy better than anyone - or he would, if people let him into the secret passages.

[cuttingremark]

Whatever will we do without our sullen iron giant? [Aaaand back to teasing.]

Care for a spar?

[spitessier]

[The hug was completely unexpected. Katsuya would have never imagined someone could be so forward! Katsuya goes completely stiff, his hands up in the air, he really not knowing how to react! When Wu gets his arm over Katsuya's shoulders, this detective finally begins snapping out of it somewhat]

...Katsuya Suou. It's Katsuya Suou.

[encelevenemus]

Are you sure about that? I can be a bit difficult to keep up with at times.

[cuttingremark]

You aren't the only one. [A shimmer of light and there are a couple dozen Loki's surrounding Somnus, laughing.]

[strongestfeelings]

[Stella's taken to stalking the halls invisible, which means-- well. It means she gets a good bit of eavesdropping in.

It also means she materializes only seconds before she speaks up, into a space a little beyond Olive (and out of hitting range, just in case she's the jumpy type).]

Missing--- a boyfriend?

[strongestfeelings]

[Ocassionally, on Tuesday, you might watch a book fly off a shelf unexpectedly in the library, and hover open midair. Or you might watch the icebox in the kitchen open and slam shut again, as if an invisible force is gazing in at the content, then going "no, actually, not hungry." and closing it. Or maybe things in the armory are moving on their own---

Look. Stella just really doesn't want to be bothered by annoying people, not without her instigating it, so for most of the day Tuesday, she's invisible. If anyone calls her on her bullshit, or questions the possibility of ghosts, she'll probably show up, though.

By the end of the day, though, she's completely visible-- and can be found in the Great Hall with an orb of light above her, as she flicks through the pages of a book idlely. She's also toying with the Communicator, trying to figure out what all it can do-- right now, it's playing Wu's fall on a loop. Very impressive.]

[amitiesbind]

You are way too kind.

[ She sighs. ]

Comparing myself to my friend who makes maps for fun might be a little unfair, but... it's not easy.

kitchen

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

[Mei is already in here, reading the weekly catalogue and waiting for her beef to defrost, when the ice box shuts. She jumps a little and looks around frantically.]

Hello? ...It must not be late enough to see you, I'm sorry! Are you there?

[amitiesbind]

That's fine, I'm not super attached to the idea anyway. Besides, we'll only need it if I can't find a physical trigger.

[amitiesbind]

[ fortunately she's not the jumpy type, but. it does startle her a little. ]

Uh... no, not a boyfriend. My ex-boyfriend's sister, technically.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

I guess not, huh... They must be good at it, if they do it all the time.

["You must miss them," she's too hesitant to say.]

[strongestfeelings]

That answers the next question.

Seems a bit strange to keep the sister, but that's just me. [at least. she thinks. Sky's an only child. ...Maybe she should ask Musa, when she gets the chance. That'll be a fun conversation.]

[predecir]

You've got secret passages?

[Exciting!]

[amitiesbind]

Yeah, they are. A good map is a good thing to have in an old weird building like this.

supply room

[predecir]

Oh, uh. Hey.

[Bruno's getting a little less jumpy! He only startles a little bit when he sees Hubert!]

I'm just, uh... [He starts to take a single one of like, all of the little pre-packaged snacks and soaps and things and squirrel them away into his pockets. Just one of everything! No one would notice, hypothetically.]

supper

[predecir]

[Bruno has barely been in this room. It's too big and grand - how would you even feel comfortable eating in a place like this? He follows the smell of food, though!]

Oh! Really? That's...wow, that's a lot of food. You cooked it all by yourself?

[encelevenemus]

Well, if you insist.

[This time a few dozen blades of light manifested around him, all of them pointing outwards.]

I do hope you don't think me susceptible to intimidation.

[amitiesbind]

Oh, no, we're... Kyle and I, we're still friends. It was mostly just... wrong time, I guess.

[amitiesbind]

Oh yeah, a ton of them. I swear, Maps spends half her time in the walls.

[guffawsungraciously]

Well, they are not that different from people. Everyone has their own tastes, and some people simply have exceptionally bad taste.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

It's not that much, is it? I sort of forgot to make an entire supper, I was a little distracted as soon as I saw the beef... Did you want some? Go ahead!
