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 do wish we were permitted outside, though I suppose he cannot risk the possibility that we could find some sort of way to negotiate with the denizens of the lake.

[amitiesbind]

Someone in this group must have the ability to sit down and talk with the eels or something. Guess we know why he didn't kidnap Aquaman.

[guffawsungraciously]

...Is one of us not a merperson according to the profiles, actually? He does not look like a merman as I know them, but...

[amitiesbind]

Oh, Azul? Yeah, that... might be exactly why we're not allowed to go outside, now that I think about it.

[guffawsungraciously]

Perhaps we ought to find a way outside first, then, to test this theory. ...I imagine it will not be as much of an issue if we do not send anyone into the water.

[amitiesbind]

Which would mean finding a way through the door, probably... unless you can think of a way to widen one of our little windows.

[guffawsungraciously]

Or a secret passage outside, of course. Let us not discount that possibility.

[amitiesbind]

That would definitely be easier, yeah.

[guffawsungraciously]

...Of course, given that I doubt this will be easy, maybe that is not as likely as we would hope.

[amitiesbind]

We'll see. Though it feels like there's part of this that involves a very long afternoon looking at every single rock in the walls for switches.

[guffawsungraciously]

And trying to move the cabinets around, of course. Never discount the possibility of secret passages hidden behind furniture.

[amitiesbind]

Is it really too much to ask for a neon sign that says "secret passage here?"

[guffawsungraciously]

Apparently so. Perhaps we will have to learn a bit more about our captor to get some clues, though--I do remember encountering a secret passage that led from someone's bedroom right to the kitchen.

[amitiesbind]

Nothing wrong with a shortcut, I guess. We have plenty like that back at Gotham Academy.

[guffawsungraciously]

Oh, certainly. ...I will admit to being jealous, but I suppose a king is entitled to his secret passages to the kitchen.
