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! ))

Well, if it tastes as good as it smells, I am absolutely certain that I will.

[HELL YEAH HE'LL HEAD FOR THE TABLE.

and he will enjoy it.]

[squidproquos]

Fantastic! Let me know what you think.

[ He'll also head for the table as well with a glass of water! Muncha cruncha time! ]

[guffawsungraciously]

It is absolutely delicious, and I will have to give you all my compliments.

[wait is he eating the glass of water]

[squidproquos]

Fantastic! I'm glad it's to your liking.

[ He is not eating the glass! He'd never crunch glassware- he's just eating his food. ]

[guffawsungraciously]

Honestly, I would not have expected to encounter such a culinarian here. How are your dessert offerings, I wonder?

[He has several tracks in his mind, but it is easy to do multi-track drifting and hit sweets all the time along the way....]

[squidproquos]

Nothing short of impeccable, I can assure you.

[ He smiles- very confident in his abilities. ]

I run a café lounge at my school, and my mothers' restaurant is one of the most famous undersea eateries- suffice to say, I know my onions.

[ A little pun. ]

[guffawsungraciously]

Ah, I see. I am glad to hear it, as it seems as though your talents would be wasted if you did not make professional use of it.

We do have merpeople at home, as well, and I will admit that I have often wondered what the cuisine was like. I will say, however, that they are almost certainly much different than you.

[squidproquos]

Oh, don't get me wrong- this is hardly mer-cuisine. It was just the first thing that popped into my head.

[ Though that does get his attention. ]

But now I am curious to know what your merpeople are like.

[guffawsungraciously]

Oh, really? Well, I would imagine it would be difficult to get proper ingredients here, and the preparation must be entirely different.

In any case… well, I do not know any of them personally, but I know things tend to go poorly for them if they try to live on land. They also have a strange tendency to speak in rhyme and exhibit some rather extreme sexual dimorphism.
