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 feel like I probably should have learned this. Then again, it's not like we could predict anything that led up to this point. [Still shuffling through drawers.] Not this one, it's nothing but hinges.

[amitiesbind]

Well hey, if we have to make a cabinet...

[ she frowns, looking through a drawer near her. ]

Oh good. A wide array of wooden mallets. For all your wooden mallet needs.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Maybe if the one in the kitchen gets lost. [sigh] They've got to have something around here.

[amitiesbind]

You'd think...

[ sift sift search search... ]

Ha. Well... better than nothing, anyway?

[ Measuring stick obtained! ]

Measuring tape's probably a little too advanced to ask for.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Yeah, I don't even know when we are. There's a wood stove in the kitchen. At least I know how to use that.

[amitiesbind]

I've been assuming a general "fantasy times." With a side of "The Alchemist can go out and get whatever."

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

That would explain the snacks. And, um, us.

[amitiesbind]

Yup. No point settling for... mutton and potatoes or whatever when you have magic, right?

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

And how many of us can even cook with a wood stove? I didn't even learn until recently.

[amitiesbind]

I barely know how to cook with a modern stove... not that I mind living off sandwiches for a while, but still.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Maybe I can help? I mean, I remember everything you're supposed to do. Fumi-san taught me -- she was the housekeeper where I was staying, and I used to help her out.

[amitiesbind]

That would be great, actually. Can't live off of other people's cooking the whole time I'm here.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Sure! It'll be great, you'll see! If even I can do it, anybody can learn.
