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! ))

[It takes a few moments for Stella to reappear-- being called out isn't super fun, and she has to focus to twist the light away from herself-- and she curses quietly after trying for a few seconds-- Ah. But there, she is finally, she figured it out.]

It's far too complicated to have to set up the illusion each time I want to look at a book.

[philomachy]

One might consider figuring out the finer points of magic before using it for deceit.

[strongestfeelings]

Why does everyone presume deceit is my intention? If I was being deceitful, I wouldn't have come right out. [The book in her hands is one on transformation magic-- she doesn't try and hide it. But she doesn't shelve it again either.]

It's a work in progress. I could do it-- but I'm not angry enough, right now.

[philomachy]

To see someone hide like this, assumptions will be made.

[But color him at least a little curious.]

Does anger fuel your magic?

[strongestfeelings]

People will always make assumptions.

[She lets out an exhasperated sigh.]

Powerful emotions. The stronger, the better. And nothing's stronger than anger. [... probably. we don't need to talk about her friendship is magic moment.]

[philomachy]

Anger... Yes, anger certainly is a powerful emotion, if it has enough drive behind it. A burning hatred is nothing to scoff at.

But there are far stronger feelings.

[strongestfeelings]

Such as?

Don't say "Whiskers on Kittens", or I will laugh at you.

[philomachy]

[he stares at her in a rare moment of genuine confusion]

That is decidedly not an emotion.

[strongestfeelings]

No, not at all. But it's what someone I know tried to use, to activate her powers. [draging bloom hours? dragging bloom hours!]

[philomachy]

An utterly foolish thought on her part. I'm sure it was most successful.

[he's never met bloom but he's already here for judging her]

No, the emotions I would suggest are deeper than anger. Passion has made me stronger than anger could ever have.

[You know, once he like. Unlocked emotions.]
