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! ))

Let's...

[arsholes]

[Saturday begins as most other mornings have this week: quietly. People going about their business as the peaceful first week of what will (hopefully) be a deathless month.

Until about 1 pm, just after lunch, when a knocking echoes through the entire tower.]

[strongestfeelings]

[From the front hall--]


We can't open the damn door!

[twibeast]

[ His ears would perk if he were in dog mode but alas he isn't. It does still bother his ears though. ]

What's happening now...?

[arsholes]

[Funny thing, Stella-

It's not coming from the front door but it does sound like it's coming from the entrance hall.]

[predecir]

[..............

is it coming from the fucking walls]

[arsholes]

[Not this time.]

[predecir]

[oh thank god

He'll just trail after everyone else investigating, then!]

[encelevenemus]

[god. you're all morons.]

[Someone has to track this non-door knocking, so let's take a look around.]

[cuttingremark]

[Loki's got nothing better to do other than annoy Somnus so yeah, lets go looking for a mysterious knocking.]

[arsholes]

[The sound is echoing loudest in the entrance/front hall but while Somnus tries to track the sound he'll get to watch as, at the base of the stairs, a a new door appears in a soft shimmer of purple glitter.

This seems to be the origin of the knocking.]

[twibeast]

...Oh no.

[ Cautiously goes to open it ]

[encelevenemus]

...

[he has a bad feeling about this.]

[but let it never be said somnus lucis caelum thinks about the long term picture, so let's open that door]

[cuttingremark]

[Loki inspects the door closely.]

Curious...

[pegasinister]

[.... yeah he's just gonna cast Bolting through the door]

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

[Time to walk out there. It's a bit early to see any ghosts, but she'll look around in case...]

[pegasinister]

They can pass through walls.

[Hubert tilts his head and tries to track the sound]

[strongestfeelings]

An earth fairy? [they do that]

[pegasinister]

Unsure. I saw them do it yesterday.

[rikonstructed]

You didn't see a reason to mention this sooner?

[Too busy also tracking the sound to do more than give him a dry look.]

[twibeast]

[ He listens closely and then heads for the entrance hall ]

[replacementshield]

[ Is it a monster? Or murderous warrior? He knew it. This is where the Alchemist tries to slaughter them and squeal in joy as blood is spilt.

...that is entirely off base but Felix has quite an imagination. Anyway let's try to come closer to the sound. It's fine. ]

[seaweedwrap]

[Wu is going to chime in because obvs probably hanging around Stella]

You have to open it yourself!

[strongestfeelings]

It's not the door-- [To Lord Woof, because-- let's be real. Wu's on her arm.]

It's this way-- [She starts to tug Wu to the entrance hall]

[seaweedwrap]

[OH WELL he'll catch up with Stella, then, heading to the entrance hall, looping his arm through hers]

If this is a surprise, it better be a good one. Though whomever runs the catalogue did say there'd be something on Saturday, so maybe it's that.

[strongestfeelings]

[Yeah, she's digging her nails into his arm a little. Out of fear, not rage, right?]

What did you do.
