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! ))

I noticed. Not that I blame them. Even if the Alchemist's offer of freeing us after a month is true, I doubt the more paranoid of us will be able to last that long. This very scenario is meant to cause someone to snap.

It's human nature to resort of a self-serving attitude when in danger like this.

I would be able to accept it easier, were so many of us not holding titles. [She pops her compact up, and purses her lips as she scrolls through the list.]

Kings, Princes, Princesses, Knights, Generals--- surely these people should know something about the greater image, beyond themselves.

[pegasinister]

[He laughs darkly at that]

Oh, I find the exact opposite is often true.

[strongestfeelings]

[bro whats up with that laugh.]

At least-- the good ones.

You do know your laugh is terribly offputting, don't you?

[pegasinister]

The good ones are a rare breed.

...and yes, I know.

[strongestfeelings]

So it's a deliberate choice, then? The laughter. Not the being a good leader.

[pegasinister]

In part. My laugh is naturally unsettling but I have... cultivated it over the years.

[strongestfeelings]

Interesting. [She's gonna judge, because she's Stella and she's always judging, but not too much.]

I'm sure it serves its purpose. Sometimes, advantages are won, from being what others perceive as offputting.

[pegasinister]

Exactly. My position requires quite a bit of intimidation, and I'm not concerned with the social fallout of being... me.
