arsarcana | 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! ))

Who ordered it?

Not me. There's no way I'd touch something that tacky.

[hey guys, what'd I mi-]

Aw dude, the chair just got here-! What happened to the head?!

[raises a hand slightly and points at hubert]

[Also looking in Hubert's general direction.]

Not cool, dude.

I was aiming for the cat.

I mean, still not cool, unless this guy turns out to be evil.

[...is that a sorry, or is an apology not coming here.]

Just- try to be careful about not blowing up people's junk and stuff, I guess?

... if it is that distressing for you I will replace it.

...Can you do that?

[Are you an- ...what would this count as, taxidermy? ...Yeah that actually kind of makes sense.]

Well, more in equal goods rather than the literal chair. Unless the cat man has another one.

[Well, looks like Garfield's actually got the damaged thing covered? Chair's looking brand new and definitely not evil again.]

I- appreciate the offer, at least?

Don't worry, he did you a favor.

Finn, that chair continues being an abomination!

[thanks for voicing your opinion katsuya]

Sometimes people or things have three heads! That doesn't make them abominations!

[ Thanks Finn ]

Norns, good to know someone has taste.

Loki, Prince of Asgard, by the way. I don't think we've been introduced yet.

[Oho! Another prince! Wu brightens]

I don't think we have. Prin--ah, King Wu of the Earth Kingdom.

[Yeah, he caught that little slip. Won't say anything about it. Yet.]

It is a pleasure, your majesty. Though I was unaware Earth had one unified ruler.

[hmm???] Well, the Earth Kingdom has one unified ruler--the Earth King or Queen--who rules from the capitol city of Ba Sing Se, and then the rest of the Kingdom is broken up into city-states. Or was, before the riots.
