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! ))
ghostsguysgyuudon: Scared with hands at the sides of her head. (super haunted)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, you mean people he killed before? I'd just thought -- well, I guess now that you think of it, if any ghosts are here, they could be...
ghostsguysgyuudon: Taking in new information. (so that's why huh)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
So you were alone too... I'm sorry. I won't ask about it, but maybe it'll get better being around people. It was like that for me.
sunshade: iosys (➺ precious thing. fuck off alice)

Then you have exactly zero room to stand there and criticize me for simply experimenting.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Troubled. (definitely feeling judged here)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Don't they screen them for the students at all?
ghostsguysgyuudon: Pleading look. (don't let this get worse)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, really? You think they'd be that desperate?

Singing, of course!

[brightly, before he's right back into it, taking another step towards her]

She's got some amazing powers of light,
Which really shows 'cause she shines so bright~
Some people might say that she's a little scary
But I gotta say that she's my favorite fairy~


[he reaches out to take her hand, then, as he steps in, moving to twirl her under his arm]

Oh, Stella, Stellaaaaa~
Please don't change a thing~

[and he's stepping out a bit, but not letting go of her hand so he can then tug her in, meeting her halfway so he can twirl her around--]
Oh Stella, Stellaaaa~
Your passion makes me sing~!

[and he's going to just dip her back over his arm, before easing her back upright with what he hopes is his most charming grin]

I would imagine it depends on the target demographic of the library. Are we assuming this is a library that children will use? Teenagers? College students? Strictly academics?
ghostsguysgyuudon: Watching from above. (jiiiiiiii)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shaky awkward silence. At least she also isn't making any mistakes.]

Um, how are you finding it here? Aside from the obvious being kidnapped.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Silly shocked expression. (that one hurt)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Gk -- maybe you have a point. Thanks for the warning, I guess. Maybe it's just what the Alchemist likes to read.
cuttingremark: (confused eyebrow)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-26 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Past victims of his, yes. With any luck they are benevolent to us and will assist in our escape. If they are here at all.

Hm? [Wu blinks at that] Oh, no, I haven't talked to her yet. I'm giving her a little time to cool off before I go find her. Dames need some time to cool off when they get mad.

No, I wanted to ask you about, ah...[and for a moment, Wu hesitates, almost unsure how to phrase this question, and he shifts, arm leaving Katsuya's shoulders so he can lean on his elbows on the table]...Katsuya, what do you think a good leader should be like?

[Bruno acknowledges her not asking with a quick smile - that's nice, really.]

Hopefully. Practice, uh, makes perfect, right?
cuttingremark: (gentle persuasion)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-26 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
More than getting us to kill each other? They did seem to grab quite a few royals for something so common as that.

[personal profile] spitessier 2022-03-26 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I have. Given what he has done, I have subjected him to constant interrogations and reminders he's doing something highly illegal.

[Results of these interrogations have been largely varied, haha]

I believe there is still one rampaging in La Noscea now. It was also much larger than that, so if anything I find the specimen on the cover rather underwhelming.
amitiesbind: and you were the rock (i was the match)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-26 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I was in my dorm talking to one of my friends. But she's not here, and I'm going to go ahead and bet she doesn't have anything to do with this whole situation.
cuttingremark: (what was that)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-26 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Interrogations huh? What sort of information have you uncovered?
spitessier: (9)

[personal profile] spitessier 2022-03-26 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now that's a question he didn't expect. Katsuya leaves the book aside]

Are you having doubts about your ability to be a leader?

[Is that why you came with the question in the first place?]
strongestfeelings: (You have to join the debate club)

[She would have eaten anyone who tried this at Alfea alive. Would have straight-up destroyed them. But when he reaches out and takes her hand, she can't help but laugh, and let him take it.

It's too ridiculous. It's so ridiculous that she lets him spin her-- even trusts him enough to dip her, though she's a little skeptical about his skinny arms ability to hold her up--

She laughs again, and even winds an arm around him, to hold him in close to her. His smile's charming-- almost charming enough to forget every other utterly ridiculous part of him that he's shown her. Almost. But it's enough to keep her swaying, in this silly little dance.]


Alright, alright, that's enough of that. [But she's still smiling, which is a feat in itself. And when she speaks again, her voice is softer.]

I'll try not to harm you.
amitiesbind: when loneliness came (i read them all in one day)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-26 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, the biggest crab I've ever seen was about... this big?

[ indicates about nine inches or so with her hands - you know, normal eatin' crab size. ]
cuttingremark: (wounds)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-27 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
I do, yes. I also don't trust that some place much value in the life of another when it is between them and their goals. [Loki, that's you. You've killed so many people.]

.......

[Katsuya crosses his arms]

If you really want to know, I'll tell you, but I'll warn you right away: it's virtually useless.

[Which frustrates Katsuya, that's for sure]
cuttingremark: (brother)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-27 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
No information is truly useless. Perhaps we just don't have the right context yet. [Wow, he suddenly seems almost sincere. As sincere as Loki can get.]

[his annoyance increases at that, huffing] I don't know what it was that I could've eaten wrong! It's just been scrambled eggs and fruit and sliced meat and those snacks from the storage closet.

They were simple statements of fact. How easily wounded your pride is...
