Who: Aries (as a vampire) and u
Where: Lobby
When: Day 63, morning

[it's time for more wild city lives!!!

There is a bit of set up in the form of a chair has been comfortably plushed up with (animal print) pillows, and a large basin sits on the floor in front of it


There is a sign set up nearby which reads:

Pedicures: 150

And below it, scribbled in at the bottom as an after thought:

This is Aries, not Requiem]


[Aries for his part is sitting in a lotus position idly buffing Req's toenails while he waits for customers]

[zugzwange]

You think people will really pay 150? That's one tenth of a revival.

[stakesthesame]

You better be willing to pay if you want other people to deal with your feet.

[zugzwange]

So, you're not into feet. Got it.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ came up to ask Requiem what kind of Live this is supposed to be, but stops when he reads the sign ]

...?

[ squints ]

So I see a couple possibilities here: is this a joke, a really convincing cosplay, or did someone fucking possess my unitmate?

[stakesthesame]

None of the above. Alcheme lied about one of their lives and we got put in each other's bodies. I'm Aries, wild city.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Must've been a pretty elaborate lie if that was the end result.

[mywife]

[Don't mind the asshole who might be walking into random things along the way.]

[Probably including the chair.]

[stakesthesame]

[uh]

Blind, huh?

[mywife]

You do not have to reiterate what you already know. Song of Sorrows, remove these obstacles for me at once!!

[forthetainted]

[ EVENTUALLY.... she'll make her way down. probably after a nap or something.

very cautiously. ]

Man this blind stuff is so bunk.

[stakesthesame]

Oi, Req. Over here.

[forthetainted]

[ !!

floats over. probably bonks her head into the chair. ]

--ow. Hey, I got the live alert... that you?

[asteionknight]

[ ...he considers not saying anything, but... it comes out anyway. ]

You've misspelled her name.

[forthetainted]

[ probably nearby ]

-- what? How'd he spell it?

[asteionknight]

R-e-q-u-i-e-m.

[stakesthesame]

[blinks, then comes over to look at it

squints]

Uh... sorry. How's it supposed to go..?

[asteionknight]

The ☆ isn't silent.

[avestan]

[wanders past, looking shitty as someone who's been very sick for days is wont to

and does a doubletake at this whole situation]

...Huh. How did this happen?

[forthetainted]

[ VOICE!!! ]

-- yo! Doodles!

[avestan]

Requiem, is that you in there?

[stakesthesame]

Alcheme.

[avestan]

Oh, right. Of course.

[furrytailprince]

Why would anyone pay the exact same amount as they would earn through participation? It is a zero-sum situation. And why are you in that body?

[stakesthesame]

It's not zero sum. You just sit there and get pampered basically for free. I do all the work so I get all the money.

And it's alcheme's fault.

[furrytailprince]

I get nothing out of the live.

They have a potion that can remove you from your body?
