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! ))

[ Felix is back in here again, with some books on hand, though he'll drop them on a table. ]

It depends. Whatever the case, it sounds like a waste of time.

[ ... not very helpful here is he. ]

What, were you looking to pick up magic spells or something?
ghostsguysgyuudon: Smiling with relief. (don't forget you're great)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I don't think I'd be able to do that! But there just isn't much to do here, and I wanted to see if there was anything in these textbooks.
replacementshield: (> What's that?)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-26 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
How long have you been at it?

[ He'll come over to the brunette and hold his hand out. ]

Let me see that.

[ There can be another benefit to looking at these books in particular. ]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Smiling and surrounded by a glow. (all's well that ends some way)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, okay!

[She hands it over to a spread on constellations.]

Were you trying to figure out where we are by what's out the window at night?
replacementshield: His commentary on newly reunited timeskip-Dimitri's new tactics. (> So your battle strategy sucks)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-26 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmph, what made you guess that?

[ In other words, yes. He's looking at the spread of constellations carefully; Felix is not someone who would consider himself interested in such things. But he isn't someone who doesn't read books and had to learn things like everything else in his world.

Even before the Academy he's had a robust education. So here he is actually doing something other than skimming the pages when he has an idea of things, or what he is looking for.

But despite how hard he's looking, he simply lets out a sigh of annoyance and just shoves the book back at Mei when he's finished. ]


Useless in the end. All I've confirmed is that we're not in Fodlan.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Melancholy thought. (which way is throwing your life away)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess we wouldn't be. Is that where you're from? Fódlan?
replacementshield: (> Ugh)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-26 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I am. Specifically Faerghus.

[ He doubts it matters to tell someone he doesn't know this, given the difference evidently between their worlds. ]

And you?
ghostsguysgyuudon: Gasp of understanding. (but then that means)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
The world I'm from is just called Earth, but I think that's the same for a lot of the people here. This is kind of new to me, honestly.
replacementshield: (> Glance)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-26 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...Right.

This is a pain to having to get used to this.

[ ... ]

What do you think about what that pig said when he mentioned something about returning us all home if we don't go for rule 4 in a month?
ghostsguysgyuudon: Subdued. (well that sucks)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-26 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean... the month thing makes sense. Even Charlie-san needed the same conditions to redo a big spell that he had when he cast it in the first place. That means the same moon phase. At least that's what he told me, when he feels like telling me anything.

So from that standpoint, I'd believe that he has to wait a month. But if he would, I don't know. I hope so.
replacementshield: (> So an idiot walks in... (It's Sylvain))

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-27 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ He doesn't know either, but... ]

The Alchemist seemed fairly confident either way.

We should remain on our guard, just in case he tries something.

[ He wants to believe at least people will try to sit on their hands, but underhanded movements by the enemy are something they'll have to account for. ]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Staring in confusion. (wait slow down)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-27 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Something like what? Trying to pressure us?
replacementshield: (> Hm)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-27 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
I was thinking something like killing one of us in our sleep and acting like another from our group did it when that isn't the case.

[ Felix's trust in no shenanigary is super low, evidently... ]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Scared with hands at the sides of her head. (super haunted)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-27 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
What? Would he even be able to without getting caught?
replacementshield: (> Glance)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-27 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not if we keep an eye out for anything suspicious.

Either way, he seems the type to try something dirty.
Edited 2022-03-27 13:14 (UTC)
ghostsguysgyuudon: Troubled. (definitely feeling judged here)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-28 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
I guess... Maybe we should all have a meeting. Just to share what we've all learned.
replacementshield: (> Ugh)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-28 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
...You're right, it can't hurt.

[ Well, he's a Duke, so...maybe...he should, he guesses. ]

Next Tuesday? Sometime an hour or so after noon? It's in the middle of the week, so people aren't going to be half-asleep or a pain because it's a Monday.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Confused dot-eyes expression. (head empty)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-28 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if that applies when all the days in here are the same... But that sounds like a great idea! We'll get everyone together!
replacementshield: (> Sure)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-28 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
It's not like herding cats to come for a single meeting will be too hard, anyway.

[ Heh, herding cats. ]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Looking around in amazement. (i feel isekaied)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-28 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. I mean, most of the people here seem agreeable. A few are a little scary, but maybe it won't be too bad! At least we all have something in common.
replacementshield: (> Hm)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-03-28 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
Like being kidnapped?
ghostsguysgyuudon: Stunned embarrassment. (forgot this was a romance that is)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-03-28 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean... yes. But it's still something!
