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! ))

[Loki's going to leave that one because he honestly has no idea what should and shouldn't be easy for her seeing as no one else here seems to practice magic in ways he's accustomed to.]

Why are you skulking around invisible? Trying to take the madman up on his offer of freedom?

[strongestfeelings]

Please. I can wait a month, if I must. The whole thing reeks of an exercise in patience. [There's a hint of contempt to her voice, at the mention of The Alchemist's offer. She's not going for it, but she does worry about some of the others. Mostly, the ones that are too stupid to think about what they're actually doing.]

I avoid half of the idiots here this way.

[cuttingremark]

And make yourself look very suspect in the process.

[He can't be the only one that noticed today.]

[strongestfeelings]

[She shrugs.]

If people are going to suspect me of something, they'll find a reason to eventually anyway.

[cuttingremark]

[Loki chuckles.] That's typically my line.

I'm Loki, by the way. Prince of Asgard.

[strongestfeelings]

It comes with the title. Stella, Crown Princess of Solaria. [Now that she’s back up, she can even curtsy properly.]

[cuttingremark]

[Loki bows in return. A proper bow fitting of a princess.]

A pleasure, Princess Stella. I am unfamiliar with Solaria, but that seems to be rather common in this place.

[strongestfeelings]

It's of the otherworld if that helps-- but it's alright if you haven't heard of it. Most people haven't. [The corners of her mouth twitch in irritation.]

I wish it were under better circumstances.

[cuttingremark]

I know of many 'other worlds,' but I doubt that is what you are referring to. Do you know anything of the Nine Realms?

[strongestfeelings]

The Otherworld, not other worlds.

I can't say I do. They've truly outdone themselves, haven't they?

[cuttingremark]

They really have. Perhaps they had hoped taking us from vastly different worlds would increase the likelihood of us killing each other.

[strongestfeelings]

There had to have been easier ways to do that.

I think there's something more at play, here.

[cuttingremark]

More than getting us to kill each other? They did seem to grab quite a few royals for something so common as that.
