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! ))

Then this Kuvira may have a point worth listening to.

To return to the root of the issue, the point is that you would do well to learn to be self-reliant. From there, perhaps you may yet prove to be one upon whom others can rely as well.

Kuvira has no points worth listening to. [okay yeah THAT came out very sulky and annoyed. But...that last bit does make him pause, shoulders lowering slightly.

Learn to be self-reliant, huh?

Wu opens his mouth, maybe to start to ask an intelligent question, perhaps pursue that train of thought...]

[...except then his stomach growls, loudly, reminding him that he hasn't eaten yet today, and his arms go around his stomach again, and he makes an upset sound] Augh, but you can't eat self-reliance! I need breakfast first!

[encelevenemus]

[so close, and yet so far.]

Do you know anything about cooking?

[seaweedwrap]

[blink blink] I know what restaurants are the best in Republic City and which ones oversell and overcharge for subpar food. [he wrinkles his nose, annoyance coming over his features again] Like the dim sum place I ate at the other day. They did not live up to the hype.

[encelevenemus]

[...shiva's mercy.]

Cooking for yourself, you dense fool.

[seaweedwrap]

[You brought this on yourself, bud, no mercy for you]

When would I have ever cooked for myself? I just told you that almost everyone has told me that kings don't do that.
