week 1

[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! ))

I don't really know how to answer that.

[Probably, uh, not by saying that.]
encelevenemus: (wash the poison from off my skin)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-03-24 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
...Really, I seemed the anomaly?

[have. have you seen red velvet?]

[personal profile] rikonstructed 2022-03-24 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[JUST... a slightly pained pause.]

...One of the anomalies. I suppose a lion or a cookie chimera could be summoned by the same method as anything else living.
encelevenemus: (take me down to the river bend)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-03-24 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
A fair enough observation, I suppose.

[there's living cookies and then there's a giant tin can]
guffawsungraciously: again, the aggressive side-eye (the aggressive side-eye)

...Is one of us not a merperson according to the profiles, actually? He does not look like a merman as I know them, but...
encelevenemus: (wash the poison from off my skin)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-03-24 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I regret to disappoint you.

[he did not sound all that regretful]

[A giant tin can that doesn't even remotely match the dimensions of the theoretical occupant.]

Hence my interest. Was this a form of your making, or a result of being brought here?
encelevenemus: (show me how to be whole again)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-03-24 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Of my own making, as a matter of convenience. [everything's so small. is this an academy for ants.]

[personal profile] rikonstructed 2022-03-24 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[The doorways are definitely more suited to the "couldn't quite make it to 6'" crowd. That gets another nod.]

And the previous one? The same?

[personal profile] spitessier 2022-03-24 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Among humans there are many different imitations of some kinds of food, fit for those who can't consume it.

[Truthfully Katsuya feels kind of bad for Orthrus because chocolate is such a nice and versatile food and Orthrus should be able to try some. The world can be so unfair sometimes!]

Eh, sure, but we're probably not gonna get it. I'd take some new books. They're kinda hard to come by.
guffawsungraciously: boy does he love playing with his bangs. (are you there?)

[personal profile] guffawsungraciously 2022-03-24 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I am not, no, and... hm.

[HE THINKS ABOUT IT...]

I have done some design work in the past, if you are looking for something... immaterial, I suppose.
spitessier: (5)

[personal profile] spitessier 2022-03-24 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
He did? [Katsuya seems surprised! Maybe he was too deep into the pit of his own misery to notice!] Did you invite him?

[Could be Baldr got invited by someone, could be he sneaked in and Nuadha just didn't care...he's wondering what happened!]
rikonstructed: (13)

[personal profile] rikonstructed 2022-03-24 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
...It was his suggestion. [Insistence. But there's no dignity in admitting your retainer selectively bulldozes right over you, so, gliding right past that.] Is it a problem?
guffawsungraciously: he's smugly brushing his bangs out of his face. (THIS WORLD IS IMPERFECT)

[personal profile] guffawsungraciously 2022-03-24 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose it is not the biggest place I have lived, but it is not cramped by any means.

[...he doesn't really feel that much of a need to pry, still.]

It would be preferable to be able to leave and buy food somewhere instead of having to make it all, though...
amitiesbind: we were born with nothing (all we had burned on the pyre)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-24 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, Azul? Yeah, that... might be exactly why we're not allowed to go outside, now that I think about it.
guffawsungraciously: the sort of look that comes with watching something unbelievably stupid actually succeed, to your detriment (are you jangling my chain.)

[personal profile] guffawsungraciously 2022-03-24 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[...............where'd he get that candy.]

Perhaps... if you share.
amitiesbind: (what a shame we all became)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-24 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
She seems alright.

[ Olive is, frankly, broadly much more okay with other superheroes in general. ]

Oh, right. Olive. Olive Silverlock.
guffawsungraciously: again, the aggressive side-eye (the aggressive side-eye)

[personal profile] guffawsungraciously 2022-03-24 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh, it is not about a human? Well, actually, now I have to admit I am somewhat intrigued.

[he feels like if he is no longer a human he should branch out a little.]
encelevenemus: (wash the poison from off my skin)

[personal profile] encelevenemus 2022-03-24 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
The same, yes. That is my true form, more or less.
predecir: (8;)

[shrug]

We never really did that. Home-cooked food, every night - my sister Julieta is a chef, so there's always a lot to go around.

So far I see no reasons for that to be an issue. I'm surprised you agreed to let him in, though.

[What with this being potential murder tower! Many would be pretty distrustful. That someone decided to go ahead and trust someone so quickly is a little surprising to him]
cuttingremark: (has done nothing wrong)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-25 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[He pops a few in his mouth as well, his eyebrows shooting up.]

Oh my, that is very sweet. Humans certainly knew what they were doing with this one, didn't they?
cuttingremark: (desk eyebrows)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-25 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds dangerous. If our tutors took that approach, I don't think Thor would have learned much more than which end of the sword was the pointy part.
cuttingremark: (desk work)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-25 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
An interesting theory, and not a terrible method of study.

[He picks up one of the mythology books and start flipping through.]

Find anything interesting thus far?
