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! ))

That's quite kind of you.

[It's a shame someone so nice is stuck in here with as well. Loki can handle it, and many of the others appear to be warriors or royalty in their own right. Mei is just...a girl.]

Would you like company while you prepared the food?
ghostsguysgyuudon: Eyes sparkling as she eats sukiyaki. (beef is life)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-25 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
I don't see why not! It'd be good to get along with everyone. Even if some of them are... um, easier to talk to than others.
cuttingremark: (:D)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-26 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Loki chuckles.] Yes, some of them are rather prickly, aren't they?
ghostsguysgyuudon: Sadly looking down. (afterparty doesn't feel like a party)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it'll just take time. Sometimes you can get along with that kind of person eventually.
cuttingremark: (agreement)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-26 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Hopefully not too much time. I don't think any of us wants to be stuck here for that long.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Gentle smile in the gold dress. (could have had it all)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
He did say it was only a month if we all made it. That can't be too hard, can it?
cuttingremark: (brother)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-26 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
You have much faith in this group of strangers.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Confused look to the side. (got an explanation? because i don't)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I just figured murder wasn't what everyone would jump to.
cuttingremark: (cell)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-26 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
And I would assume the exact opposite. If it weren't for the Alchemist's one month offer, I have no doubt someone would be dead already.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Pleading look. (don't let this get worse)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, really? You think they'd be that desperate?
cuttingremark: (wounds)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-27 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
I do, yes. I also don't trust that some place much value in the life of another when it is between them and their goals. [Loki, that's you. You've killed so many people.]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Blank stare. (missing something here)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-27 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that just doesn't seem real, Loki-san. I know you're serious, and you're probably right too, but...
cuttingremark: (hand)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-27 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It never does until it happens. [Loki wants to go a month without someone being murdered, but he also isn't holding his breath.]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Concerned look. (life makes no sense)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-28 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. ...But I guess the only thing we can do is keep on with this, right? We can't just give up because it's possible.
cuttingremark: (bi light)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-28 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That and continue searching for a way out.

[Loki gives Mei a smile that is almost soft.]

Your optimism is infection.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Watching from above. (jiiiiiiii)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-28 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You think so? I'm just saying what makes sense to me, that's all. It's nothing special.
cuttingremark: (listening)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-03-28 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Assuming the worst is a sort of survival mechanism for most, I suppose. Your outlook is more unique than you realize.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Subdued. (well that sucks)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-29 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe... I'm not sure, but if you think so. Everybody back at Ougai-san's place kept saying there was something about me, but I just thought I wasn't good at fitting in.
cuttingremark: (:D)

[personal profile] cuttingremark 2022-04-03 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Fitting in is overrated. Much better to be extraordinary, stand out from your peers.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Embarrassed and trying to hide. (don't be suspicious don't be suspicious)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-04-04 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess, as long as they still like you.
