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 probably should learn these things... I've been trying, I swear. I'm sure the Alchemist would know, but the last thing I want to do is ask him for everything.

[squidproquos]

Understandable enough. Not many people wish to seek the aid of their own captor.

[ Which makes perfect sense. ]

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

I tried talking to him once, but I didn't get very much out of him. He seemed surprised that I even tried.

[squidproquos]

Really, now? What did he say?

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

I asked what year it was, since he's a time traveller, right? He said 2021, which seems a little weird for all the technology in here. Though it does explain some of the snacks.

[squidproquos]

A time traveler... It sounds feasible enough. How weird is it, by any chance? The technology does seem similar to what I'm used to, at least.

[ If not a little behind, slightly. The wonders of technomancy never cease. ]

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Um... Well, it's more in line with what we had in 1885, which is where I was last.

[Canon doesn't really specify what the year is and takes some (many) liberties with the actual history, but the best I can venture is between 1883 and 1886, anyway.]

But in the future, things are way more advanced! You have electric ovens that don't have an open flame, and much better refrigeration, and more electric lights than we had in the past!

[squidproquos]

[ That's so fair- Twisted Wonderland doesn't even have a specific canon year, as far as we know. ]

Ah, true, yes. We have those too. Some places where I'm from just have different styles or aesthetics.

[ The dorms at Night Raven are incredibly varied. ]

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Oh, you mean like different countries? That's normal on Earth, too. I'd think it would be the same anywhere.
