week 1

[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! ))

[Finn's just kind of patrolling, it seems. Does this kid ever sleep?]

Uh. ...Do you mean something besides the map on the mirror hologram things?
amitiesbind: we were born with nothing (all we had burned on the pyre)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-24 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ sweet boy... ]

Huh? No, uh... my friend Maps from home.
nomansbosom: (hee)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-24 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Neat.

[He seems to genuinely mean it.]

They draw a bunch of maps and junk, or is it one of those ironic type names?
amitiesbind: (🔥 never knew I could be speechless)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-24 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Olive chuckles, softly, doing a little bit of map adjustment as she replies. ]

The first one. It keeps turning out to be more useful of a skill than you'd think.
nomansbosom: (Default)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-24 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, maps are mad useful. I've been in some caves and dungeons and stuff where a map would've been great.
amitiesbind: the things we lost (these are the things)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-24 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Where I come from, things are pretty mapped out already. But she still finds a way - or just makes places up.
nomansbosom: (eh)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-27 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, neat. Pretty sure I don't have the imagination to come up with an entire map of someplace that doesn't exist.

Not a good one, anyway.
amitiesbind: (somewhere weakness is our strength)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-27 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
I can barely make a map of this place, so... that'd be why I'm missing her.
nomansbosom: (aw)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-27 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, I would've figured it's cause this place is kind of weird and you missed your friend.
amitiesbind: tenderly they turned to dust (flames they licked the walls)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-27 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
I mean that too, obviously, but...

[ Olive bites her lip for a moment. ]

I don't know. Things are complicated back home right now. But I wouldn't want her to have to deal with this kind of thing. I mean she'd love it, she's all about adventure and swords and grappling hooks, don't get me wrong, but... I'd be worried for her.
nomansbosom: (eep)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-27 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
You don't think someone's actually gonna try to kill someone to leave, do you?
amitiesbind: (no matter how long)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-27 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
It's not like it's out of the question. Or The Alchemist gets bored and kills someone himself, or The Alchemist gets bored and stops stocking food in the kitchen...

[ she shakes her head. ]

I don't want anyone to die, but if we don't beat him? It's only a matter of time before something bad happens.
nomansbosom: (aw)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-27 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
I'll- ...we'll figure out a way to beat his butt before things get that bad.

[He sounds a lot less confident than he did on day one, though.]

Dude's like obviously crazy-evil, those kinda guys always go down hard. Either they do something real stupid, or a hero shows up, or- something.
amitiesbind: (I can't let myself regret)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-27 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
I think we can beat him, but... if a hero doesn't bust down the door pretty soon, we're not exactly making a lot of progress so far.
nomansbosom: (eep)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-27 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Finn's a hero!

[He sounds a little hurt, but. Probably more from himself and the fact that he ate shit so hard the last chance he had than from Olive.]

I'll come up with something, that's what heroes are supposed to do.
amitiesbind: ticket stubs and your diaries (down the backs of table tops)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-27 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Olive doesn't smile at that, but something does shift a little in her demeanor. A little bit of the bitterness leaves her voice. ]

I'd love to be proven wrong, but... just don't do anything stupid. We all have to be careful here.
nomansbosom: (tired)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-27 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
...I can try, but. Uh. Finn's also pretty stupid sometimes.
amitiesbind: (🔥 to let the flames begin)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-27 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
Then just... run it by me first, I don't know. I don't want to see anyone here besides The Alchemist get hurt.
nomansbosom: (tired)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-28 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Sure. I'll see what I can do.

[This feels awkward now. How to save.]

[...he holds out a fist.]


Promise fistbump?
amitiesbind: (🔥 burn it down burn it down)

[personal profile] amitiesbind 2022-03-28 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ This, at least, is familiar territory to Olive. ]

You have no idea how well you and Maps would get along.

[ Promise fistbump. ]
nomansbosom: (eh)

[personal profile] nomansbosom 2022-03-30 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
You saying that gives me a little idea, at least.
