IT IS TIME

[neigh_sayer]

Who: Alchemes and YOU
Where: Lobby
When: Mid Morning 65 (forward dated a bit, feel free to still do day 64 stuff!)

[Gooood morning/afternoon, Imeeji! When you stroll down into the lobby today, you'll find it has been TRANSFORMED. Sparkling alcheme curtains hang from the ceilings, sparkling crystal rocks everywhere, and all the tables have been arranged neatly, each with a candle in the middle. There is also food on each table--petit fours of varying flavors (or colors for you red eaters), finger sandwiches filled with either hummus or pimento cheese or something else dainty like that, and tea. So much fucking tea. There's like 2000pts worth of goods total, so plenty for people to snack on.

As for your hosts!! Alcheme is front and center, each wearing their snazziest or most handsome outfit. And they all have flowers!! Some may be real some may be folded out of paper, look we have a budget ]

Welcome, one and all, to the first ever Alcheme Fortune and Flirt!

Enjoy some small bites while we soothe and say.

Relax a bit, won't you? Brunch is on us!

The future is looking as bright as your eyes!

[there are no pranks here but there may be a couple of spray bottles on the tables that read "Anti-Gremlin" spray so you can spritz C if you feel distrust.]

[ooc: THIS IS A MINGLY LIVE!! Everyone who comments will get jumped by an Alcheme! Maybe two alchemes! MAYBE ALL? Who knows, but you will get someones!!

However feel free to also use this post for counter lives, other lives, or just to chill and talk to others and eat! Enjoy this blatant endorsement for a cafe!!.

And outfits for reference:
A (plus he is looking greyscale) B C (+bandana) E H (minus armor) J N X (but with MORE STARS)

also witch hats

ETA AND ALCHEME IS OUT!! we're still picking up current threads tho, and feel free to continue to use this post to jump others too! thank yall!]

Yeah. Came out of nowhere, too. I guess pink team can't do anything?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Pauses - considers. Shrugs??]

[unbr8kable]

[Nnnods, then squeezes his forearm]

Figures.

...But we'll make this work, okay? You can still eat tiny cakes or whatever?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Writes on the notepad:]

"Think I'm gonna have to take em to go, though. Sounds like we're contagious."

[He hesitates - adds:]

"You feel ok?"

[unbr8kable]

Fine. Just gonna quarantine at home for a while or what?

[crossmyheartandhope]

"Yeah guess I'm gonna have to"

[unbr8kable]

I guess. You're already here now, though, what's the difference? Unless you just want an excuse to head out.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He jerks a thumb at the rest of HSS, who appeared when C texted them to come collect him.]

"Think I'm being herded"

[unbr8kable]

Want me to come with? In case you need anything.

[crossmyheartandhope]

"You think it's safe? Isn't the point of quarantine to like keep the people who aren't infected from getting infected?"

[Read: if she doesn't have it, he wants to keep it that way.]

[unbr8kable]

You came and took care of me when I was sick. What's the difference?

[Pauses; reconsiders]

Uh, I mean, if you just wanna rest on your own, that's super legit. You can always text later, if you want.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Hesitates - hesitates longer. He definitely wants her to come, especially after last night, but also probably that is selfish?? Risking memory loss is a hell of a lot worse than risking a fever.]

[At length, he writes:]

"I mean, if you catch a fever it doesn't scramble your memories"

[unbr8kable]

Showing up here period scrambled my memories. Buuut...

[Trails off, shrugs, gives him a helpless, crooked smile, it's fine, this situation is all fine]

I mean, if you want time to yourself, I get it. I-- Either way, I'll be there when you want it, is all.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Writes and scratches out a few things before he decides on the final one:]

"I want

I mean, I can't

Last thing I want's time to myself. Well, almost last thing I guess

You getting some dumb disease and forgetting me comes higher on the list"

[unbr8kable]

[Reads it, and--

Oh

Ohhh]

Hurricane...

[Looks over to him...]

[unbr8kable]

[...and punches him in the arm, hard]

Don't be ridiculous, I'm not gonna forget you. You're the only thing I remember. And--and if whatever this is means you're just gonna forget me--

[Her voice catches, but she pushes on, quick]

--I'll just have to remind you.

[crossmyheartandhope]

"Right?

So that means you can't get it. And you gotta text me like non-stop

K?"

[unbr8kable]

...Wouldn't that mean I should stick around to remind you, just in case? You don't even know how this thing's spread, maybe it has to do with messing around in weird places. Like, producer places.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Stops - considers that.]

"You think?"

[unbr8kable]

Maybe. Like, B and C, and Intensity, and that other guy... They've all been outside of here, right? And you said that weird thing happened to you in the game tower...so maybe that has something to do with it.

[crossmyheartandhope]

"What about the rest of fin then?"

[unbr8kable]

Maybe Intensity did something to get 'em in trouble. Like, included 'em in a deal and now the producers're coming to collect. I never asked him about the small print.

[crossmyheartandhope]

"You should run that by him. He's on the case, and that sounds p legit"

[unbr8kable]

Yeah... I'll ask. Maybe it'll help narrow stuff down.

[crossmyheartandhope]

"Fingers crossed, right?"

[He does, in fact, cross his fingers.]
