week 1

[arsholes]

[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! ))

Weird how those kind of people find you, huh?

[strongestfeelings]

If by weird, you mean profoundly annoying-- [Stella, you just called them your friends, didn't you? She whips out her compact and fixes her hair in it-- the intention behind the device, clearly.] -- Yes. It's very weird.

[She pauses. She is a mentor, even if not one here. She may as well make some minimal effort.]

How are you settling in, other than missing your friend?

[amitiesbind]

[ Olive is a little surprised by the comment for a moment. But it's a question she's heard a lot in her life. ]

You know. Not thrilled about being kidnapped, but not about to snap and do something stupid.

[strongestfeelings]

Good. [She means it. Stella's no parker rochford hardly the type to rally a girl gang, but she doesn't mind checking in or dishing advice.]

Keep that about you. We're hardly surrounded by the brightest or most morally-set bunch.

[amitiesbind]

[ Mm, she's not about pre-judging people's morals, but also... ]

That's what happens when you grab people totally at random, I guess. Not that I really buy that line from our host, but there's definitely a range here.

[strongestfeelings]

There are far too many titles amongst us for me to believe that completely.

I'm still not entirely convinced this isn't some sort of warped test.

[amitiesbind]

My money's on "supervillain plot," but that doesn't exactly give a solid end goal.

[strongestfeelings]

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.

[amitiesbind]

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.
