Fatebreaker he/him Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I thought I heard a commotion outside my lab, and it appears to be new Denizens joining the Alley! What a glorious occurrence!

Anyone from R&D know if we found another one after we found that dimension that smelled of purple? After the Purple one we found the taupe one, which was not somewhere we wanted to set up anything more than an outpost. Then there was the dimension of inverse sound, then the Left dimension, where everything was the left version of things. Everyone was left handed, had two left feet, and so on and so forth. It was looking promising until one of the acolytes that was with me pointed out that 3 lefts make a right, and then the entire dimension collapsed, destroying itself and everything in it, including the acolyte. Rookie mistake. Personally I recommend a mirror dimension, such as the the one where everything is the same except that all animals are variants of penguins. 4

Didn't someone start using that place as storage for our spare intelligence spikes? Last I heard the penguins had build a giant death star like construction.

Last I heard the penguins had build a giant death star like construction. I haven't heard this story before. What happened? Did the intelligent spikes become self aware and declare war against the penguins. Or they working together to snatch the pocket dimension from the Dark Alley?
MacThorstenson he/him Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 The impression that I got from the memo was that someone spiked a penguin, who using his new found intelligence spiked all of his brothers. Once they became self aware, we initiated lock down procedures so they couldn't escape. We didn't want another beaver-born inquisition, that was a nightmare. They tried to leave but found the doors locked. Naturally, in order to escape, they judged that the best way to break the fortifications was to build a death star. The death star is currently in construction. I'm not really sure how they are getting the materials, but they are building it. 1
Farnsworth Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Yes, that penguin incident was really not our shining hour. I think we've also found a new dimension that's filled with effervescence. It's a bit difficult to move around in, but otherwise it's nice. 1

MacThorstenson he/him Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Well, the reason that we need labs is to discover new things about the science of Hemalurgy right? If we build a lab in a black hole, we need to be able to send data out otherwise the lab is useless and we wasted all the time and money building it.
Zennix he/him Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 The reason we built the lab in a black was to limit interference from Shards that don't support the hemalurgic arts (I see you Harmony). Though, there were other reasons.
Maelstrom he/him Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Aha! I have deduced the best way to recruit people into the DA! Instead of offering cookies to new Sharders, we can offer them cookes with LINKS! We can make a trap thread and send any prospective new members over there! The question is what to put in the thread to recruit... I'm thinking something like a poll of whether you would eat the cookie or not, then a link to the DA... Edited January 12, 2018 by Maelstrom 2

This is not a bad idea, lead newcomers into the dark ally with a flaxen cord.
Maelstrom he/him Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 I'll set this up within the next day or so, then post the link for all DA members to use.
The Forgetful Archivist he/him Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Hats off to @Maelstrom for creating an awesome survey, I project that cookie sales will skyrocket. Edited January 13, 2018 by The Forgetful Archivist 1

Last I heard the penguins had build a giant death star like construction. Yes, we were actually testing whether their tendencies towards colonization lead to militarized conglomorations or individualized territorially focused pseudosocieties. However, our research primarily shows that intelligence spikes have simply lead to a proclivity for puns. While in the field I heard a plethora of puns, such as: "My mother is getting older, I think she may be hard of herring." and "My cousin was a travelling salesman, but he wasn't very good. He could never seal the deal." and "Teeth." So far I have classified this as a rousing success. Further testing currently underway. 3
Nohadon he/him Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) A door opens from the end of the alley, a young man with a black waistcoat and pants, with a tattered shirt walks through, Hey there! I’m looking for some spikes I... mean... Cookies! You see, our Canton of Combat is running pretty low, how much would they be? I can only pay in boxings or spheres, I’m rather low in funds... additonally, due to our... er... Proximity... we would like a representative come join! I nominate @Maelstrom for the position! Edited January 22, 2018 by Nohadon
Maelstrom he/him Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I would love to spread our spi... hemal... wonderful ideas all around the Canton of Combat, @Nohadon
Nohadon he/him Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Sweet! So, about the price for th cookies?
MacThorstenson he/him Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Depends, our pricing is generally focused on three things. 1. How many cookies, if you buy in bulk, we sell cheaper. 2. Cost of transportation. Due to the fact that you are in an under ground fighting club, we could open up an alley right next door, or even into the main fighting room. This would cause transportation costs to be 0. 3. Whether or not you are returning your spikes. The spikes are expensive and we would rather like to keep the stolen investiture. If you don't want spikes in your cookies and/or you return the spikes, then the price of the cookies drops.
Nohadon he/him Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 We would like to buy 80 cookies in jars, spikes included, and since my place is literally the next door, transportation should be Zero! we only have 3,000 boxings in total, our spending limit is 500, or 80 Broams (Diamond, not Emerald)
MacThorstenson he/him Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 It should be about 400 boxings to buy all of the cookies. If you would like, because these are prepaid, we could distribute them for free from the spikesulate. Though if you wan't to distribute them, that is understandable. Did you find the disclaimer?
Fatebreaker he/him Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 We also accept appropriately preserved spirit fragments, firstborns, and Eyes. Especially Eyes. 1
Voidus Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 Or the scream of an eldritch horror beyond human comprehension, birthed from a dimension of chaos and darkness.We only have one of the smaller infinities of them and R&D have them booked out. I want to test this theory on acoustic resonance and Connection. 1
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I offer a special discount in exchange for identity spikes. Particularly atium ones, because unlike the aluminium ones, you can engrave those with forgeries.
The Gecko he/him Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I have been nominated to join the little dark alley bake sale by @MacThorstenson because of my interest in nigh infinite cookie potential from rats. What do I need to do?
The Forgetful Archivist he/him Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) 41 minutes ago, The Gecko said: What do I need to do? @The Gecko All you need to do is make cookie sale and then you'll be free to move up in one of our many state-of-the-art laboratories and start researching Hemalurgy. Good luck! Also, what do you mean by cookie potential from rats? Edited February 2, 2018 by The Forgetful Archivist
