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! ))

...o-okay.

[Bruno slinks up to accept some of the communal meal! It's nostalgic. He stares at it for a moment, realizes that he's doing that, sits down, and stares at it some more. He looks a little bit like he might cry?]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Embarrassed and slightly freaking out. (panik)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-23 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Um... Bruno-san, are you okay? It's not bad, is it? Fumi-san taught me how to use the wood stove, so I hope I didn't mess up.
predecir: (68;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-23 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Mm-hmmm! [blinking furiously] Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Thank you, it's -

[He hasn't even had any? He takes a hurried bite and swallows thickly.]

It's really good, thanks.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Happily eating sukiyaki. (nom)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-23 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Mei gives a little sigh of relief.] That's good. I was worried about messing it up, since I've only ever helped someone else do it. But I really love beef, so I had to try! Don't you ever feel like that?
predecir: (18;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-23 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's most foods, with me. All I ever really did in the kitchen was chop vegetables.

[Trying anyway is...slightly less relatable. Bruno used to, but god, you can only keep trying for so long.]

Maybe I'll, uh. Try to cook something here, though?
ghostsguysgyuudon: Calm and satisfied. (thankfully that's over with)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-23 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you'll be great! I mean, everybody starts somewhere. It's always worth trying, isn't it?
predecir: (27;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-23 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Eheh, yeah. I guess so.

[Nice thing to tell kids, anyway. Bruno raps his knuckles lightly on the table a few times, muttering under his breath.]

I, uh. I'll make you some hot chocolate? I used to be great at that.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Coming around a corner. (what did i walk in on)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-23 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, really? I guess it is kind of cold in here. I thought it was July, but there's not much sun getting in here.
predecir: (19;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-23 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Hot chocolate's not just for when it's cold! It's for whenever!

[at least, this is bruno's take]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Stunned embarrassment. (forgot this was a romance that is)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-23 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? But wouldn't you overheat if it were hot?
predecir: (10;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-23 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh. If you're not sweating, it's not good hot chocolate.

[It's probably good that this is coming out now, because he definitely puts hot spices in it]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Confused look to the side. (got an explanation? because i don't)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-24 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
I've never had any like that, but I guess you'd be the expert. I'll have to try it some time!

[Can't be worse than the manjuu chazuke.]
predecir: (10;)

[personal profile] predecir 2022-03-24 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, sure! I haven't had it in a long time, either. Hard to get all the stuff, lately.

[For the past ten years specifically! Anyway, it's more of a social thing, so...]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Worried about being a burden. (you don't have to!)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-24 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, really? Then you definitely need to! If we're all already missing our homes, we should do what we can to make things better!
