Fatebreaker Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) How do I join the Dark Alley? it's easy! Anyone interested in and dedicated to the Science of Hemalurgy Art of Baking may join. However, you must either make sales in the Introduction topic or start theories in various forums or contribute to pre-existing discussions on Hemalurgy throughout the 17th. What division are you interested in joining? There's sales, r&d, advertising, transportation, theoretics, or other. Just joking, there is no other division. It doesn't exist, just like Alley 7 doesn't exist. So to summarize, you will be accepted when you have made a few sales, then feel free to join whichever division you're interested in. ..though speaking of, I need to borrow a few spikes. For science purposes. We don't lend baking supplies, we trade or sell. A batch of, utensils will require in trade a car battery charged with the light of a dying star. Or a mountain of pineapples. Either one. Edited December 28, 2014 by Fatebreaker 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 How about a menagerie of oranges? Twilight Sparkle got pretty good with that spell after all. And a couple orangefrogs are totally worth hemalurgic alicorn's mwahahaha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traceria Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 No, Ostrich! Resist the allure of hemalurgic cookies! ...though speaking of, I need to borrow a few spikes. For science purposes. Portal (& Portal 2) must be quoted: Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much? In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired! No, not you, test subject, you're fine. Yes, you! Box your stuff, out the front door, parking lot, car, goodbye! -- Cave Johnson Welcome to the Enrichment Center. [cough] Since making test participation mandatory for all employees, the quality of our test subjects has risen dramatically. Employee retention, however, has not. [cough] As a result, you may have heard we're gonna phase out human testing. There's still a few things left to wrap up, though. [cough] The bean counters told me we literally could not afford to buy seven dollars worth of moon rocks, much less seventy million. Bought 'em anyway. Ground 'em up, mixed em into a gel. And guess what? Ground up moon rocks are pure poison. I am deathly ill. Still, it turns out they're a great portal conductor. So now we're gonna see if jumping in and out of these new portals can you somehow leech the lunar poison out of a man's bloodstream. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. [cough] Let's all stay positive and do some science. That said, I would really appreciate it if you could test as fast as possible. Caroline, please bring me more pain pills. -- Cave Johnson Okay. Look. We both said a lot of things that you're going to regret. But I think we can put our differences behind us. For science. You monster. -- GLaDOS "But there's no sense crying over every mistake You just keep on trying till you run out of cake cookies And the Science gets done and you make a neat gun steel inquisitor For the people who are still alive." Alright, we might need to work on those song lyrics some more... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatebreaker Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 For Science! Totally worth sacrificing your sanity, limbs, relatives, humanity free time! Quiver, those are not blood oranges, but they''l do. You find a package in the large tree without any leaves. What you find in there is yours, to do with as you see fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiver Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 It might not have death, but if Winter's reaction is any judge, it is traumatic and mentally scarring, so it's at least kind of like science. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatebreaker Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Geez, all this bad press lately. Let me make a Statement for the Alley to clear a few things up. Let me just start off by saying that we can neither confirm nor deny anything except the things we can confirm or deny.(yay tautology) Winter's accounts of the Alley can't be trusted, as her memories were heavily modified, which is standard DA procedure. And for all her wild accusations, she approached us about joining the Alley. Just check the earlier pages of this thread. She currently in one of our holding cells under the influence of our subconscious control factors, which means her above post is actually all a dream. Any long lasting side-effects she's experiencing from receiving the ability to shape-shift are in no way connected to or the responsibility of the Alley (Thanks to our awesome disclaimer!). In fact, the only thing we are responsible for is Science!!! It should also be noted that we hold no ill will toward her or anyone and that all are welcome to the Alley. If you want further info on the F.I.D.O. project, ask Mail-me so he can answer as cryptically and unhelpfully as possible. Thank you. Now who'd like a cookie?

Quiver Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Science!Twilight- the unofficial scientist for the herd- is currently pbserving Winter Cloud - or some manifestation of her-in the latters home base. Obviously, it is too early to provide any reasonable conclusions based on the Winter-Constructs behaviour, however, she does wish to go on record as having noticed a certain degree of "crazy" from her, which would corroborate the Dark Alley sentiments that Winter Clouds accounts are skewed at best. She further requests that any information connected to the sale or use of cookies, most especially of their impact upon human and otherwise sapient creatures, be provided to her forthwith. Like the Dark Alley, she is dedicated to science, and therefore believes that we should all work together to further those goals.

Fatebreaker Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 That's a nice sentiment, but only Denizens are allowed access to Alley info. Even then, no one denizen knows what all of the others are doing. However, we will share the fact that while the reactions within a species are generally quite similar, sentient species have widely varying reactions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Suppose- hypothetically speaking, of course- Science!Twilight were to express an interest in joining the Dark Alley- Not that she'd betray her friends, of course, but Science is a greater motivator than mere 'guild factions'- - but if she were to, hypothetically, be interested in "visiting" the Dark Alley, what would be required, precisely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatebreaker Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Joining The Alley requires sales in the intro thread and contributions to our particular branch of science. Keep in mind this isn't simply a place to role-play, it's a place to Research. That's all that would be required. Hypothetically of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiver Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 No idea but between your arrival and the other Panda-named member in the introductions forum, this seems appropriate: “Unite them.

Voidus Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Distinguished leaders of the Alleys I would like to raise a certain issue with you all, sales have dropped recently due to an influx of baffling and inferior competition in the cookie market. The Pandas have begun advertising their own 'bamboo cookies' in the Introduction threads and taking valuable souls customers.I would like to convene an emergency meeting of the Alleys to discuss this problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
