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've been looking to expand my storefronts for quite a while! An opportunity presented itself to open up a pop-up shop out here and, as the saying goes, it's free real estate.

Hence, my wares and I are here in all our glory.

[It's probably fine.]

...And the Alchemist is allowing this?

Uuuunfortunately any deals involved with busting you all out are off limits per my contract. And lemme tell you, that thing is iron clad. That Alchemist guy knows his contractual language.
mercantilewits: He throws a sword through your window.. (When God closes a door)

[personal profile] mercantilewits 2022-03-26 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure is, pal. It's aaaaall in our contract.
nomansbosom: (eep)

...Like actually made of iron, or-?

It's a saying, I think.

A contract?

[ Tilts his head as little. ]

So you're working together then...?

[personal profile] mercantilewits 2022-03-26 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
That you think I'd work for that weird bird mask guy. He's a real weirdo if you ask me but we did make a deal.

[personal profile] pegasinister 2022-03-26 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
But say, if we buy something that we then use to escape... that should be legal, correct? Assuming we did not state that as our intention?
mercantilewits: (Wine is basically scrambled grapes.)

[personal profile] mercantilewits 2022-03-26 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yes but also- [He reaches into one of his pouches and whips out a literal sheet of iron with very small print text etched into it.] Even more yes.
spitessier: (6)

[personal profile] spitessier 2022-03-26 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
In addition, if we acquire something and it gets used against the Alchemist that's legal as well, correct? Not that anybody here would do something like that.

[There, plausible denial by adding that last part, to cover everyone's asses, Katsuya thinks. Besides, such a chance probably would be very rare, given certain rules]

Oh! Definitely. My future's all about fighting monsters and junk and helping people.

[that's probably fine]

That is...quite literal.

You're not kidding. [WHOOPS. Foot in mouth.]

It could be blood magic. But the way you say it's continued through the family... It does sound something like fairy blood. If we weren't all trapped here, I'd have the headmistress test you-- but-- [Oh. The light dips, and Stella remembers.]

Well. No use thinking about it.
nomansbosom: (eep)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-26 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, dang.

[This dude don't mess around.]

[...anything that can be made out from the contract in the probably-second-or-two Garfield's leaving this out, considering that Finn is literate but not a hugely avid reader?]

[personal profile] strongestfeelings 2022-03-26 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Something like that does sound correct.

If you don't mind-- what is the last thing you remember? Mine is my mother confronting me, which makes me think she may have a hand in all of this.

[Oho! Another prince! Wu brightens]

I don't think we have. Prin--ah, King Wu of the Earth Kingdom.
nomansbosom: (eh)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-26 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh.

[hm]

...Why a camel, did it have beef with the government or something?
seaweedwrap: ([01])

[personal profile] seaweedwrap 2022-03-26 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[it's fine, all that green matches the Earth Kingdom, right??? to fit the theme???

Anyway, Wu looks pleased as punch at the clapping, and incredibly proud of himself]


Not a problem at all for Wu! [he excitedly turns his attention back to Bruno] What's next?

[ Is it bad he really wants to read that contract. ]

It's of the otherworld if that helps-- but it's alright if you haven't heard of it. Most people haven't. [The corners of her mouth twitch in irritation.]

I wish it were under better circumstances.
replacementshield: (> Hm)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-26 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
The only difference is that you're more explicitly in league with the pig, which is hardly much of one. In the end, it changes nothing. You're both a pair of bloodthirsty animals, one more literally so than the other.

[ Whatever the case, he's far too angry to sit around and listen to any more of this nonsense any longer. If he misses anything, he could always approach someone for it.

So he turns on his heel and walks off. ]
