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! ))

Ha- not particularly, no. I'm from the sea.

[ He might as well just say it since it's on his profile. ]

More of a watery underground, if you will- I'm one of the merfolk.

[personal profile] twibeast 2022-03-29 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow... that's even more than what I've been able to do!

Everyone else here acted strangely when I brought up different worlds. I'm glad someone else besides me has experience with travelling between them.

[ Just going to keep nomming ]

I found them on the shelf to the right!

[personal profile] twibeast 2022-03-29 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I would hope so too.

R-Regardless I would like to continue avoiding it as much as possible. I was hoping to maybe have some potatoes - might you know anything about those?

She was only eleven when I left. It isn't her job to look after me.

[Maybe he's getting a few vibes there? Anyway:]

It - it's not like that. No one else knows where I am, that's all. If...if they did...

[Well. The thing is, he's not quite sure.]
cuttingremark: (eyebrow)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-29 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You worry they would drive you out completely?
predecir: (29;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-30 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
.....I don't know.

[Bruno's quick to add:]

If - if this were before, they never would have done that! I mean, they hadn't yet. But then I left, and I - they were so angry at me, I heard the whole thing. "Bruno abandoned us, he doesn't care about this family..."

[.....]

Even if they weren't, I...I can't let them find me. [.....] I couldn't. I guess it wouldn't matter much now.

It sounds like many of them expected your unconditional servitude no matter how they treated you. [Yeah, no idea how that feels.]
guffawsungraciously: he's smugly brushing his bangs out of his face. (THIS WORLD IS IMPERFECT)

[personal profile] guffawsungraciously 2022-03-30 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
I would imagine so, yes. I certainly would, at any rate.
mercantilewits: (Gotta have my vape!)

One cookie's gauche is another teen boy's fine art. For the special deals I have a wide variety stocked up so surely there's something you'll enjoy!

[Just...fully not commenting on the personal items. Don't worry about it.]
nomansbosom: (eh)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-30 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
I kinda like being alive about it.
guffawsungraciously: jasper looking off to the side (wait his hair's nice.)

[personal profile] guffawsungraciously 2022-03-30 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
...

Well, good to know. This has all been very cheerful.
guffawsungraciously: keywords are accurate, jasper is just kind of smirking (just a smirky little look)

[personal profile] guffawsungraciously 2022-03-30 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes. We too are limited at home, but not quite so much... for instance, I have never had much luck with healing magic, but I would likely be able to manage other varieties.
nomansbosom: (eh)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-30 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Might be kinda hard, but why not? Simon managed to gank his fiance from like a thousand years in the past, the Alchemist managed to gank all of us, there must be a way to, like, keep doing it.
nomansbosom: (eh)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-30 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
I guess? Sometimes I'd get kinda soul-searchy about it, but- it's fine. Anything too bad just goes in the Vault, y'know?
predecir: (14;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-30 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
The...vault?

[He does not!]
guffawsungraciously: kind of a smile! it's probably about something horrible, but maybe it isn't. (i'm taking a ride with my best friend)

[personal profile] guffawsungraciously 2022-03-30 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I will. If it does fail, you will have to illuminate me as to what the results should have been as we split some between us, perhaps?
nomansbosom: (eh)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-30 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
You saying that gives me a little idea, at least.
guffawsungraciously: again, the aggressive side-eye (the aggressive side-eye)

[personal profile] guffawsungraciously 2022-03-30 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[...the fact that he's getting konpeito out of this causes him to nod, somewhat resolutely.]

...Perhaps I will see if I can get a straight answer from our host. If it comes from me it may be seen as less of an... incentive.
nomansbosom: (heck yes)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-30 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Ha, yeah, that'd be freaky.

[This is definitely all just jokes that won't ever turn tragic and I completely trust everyone here on an OOC level.]

Though you know this means I gotta try pranking you back, right?
nomansbosom: (eh)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-30 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Kinda weird? But it'd be sort of a dumb thing to lie about. Besides, I've seen timey-wimey junk, I know it can happen.
nomansbosom: (no talk me angy)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-30 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Might be less than that if we can get a good shot at him without that- whatever the heck it was.
guffawsungraciously: a kind of dirisive look. (i came here to attack people)

[personal profile] guffawsungraciously 2022-03-30 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, I would not have expected to encounter such a culinarian here. How are your dessert offerings, I wonder?

[He has several tracks in his mind, but it is easy to do multi-track drifting and hit sweets all the time along the way....]
nomansbosom: (Default)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-30 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they look crazy good! ...uh, I'm. Not gonna eat any, though. It'd feel weird eating something that was supposed to be a people even if it didn't work, you know?
