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!]

I don’t believe in fate.

[does he need to say this to every AlcheME!, apparently so]

So a general reading is fine.

[afailedmurder]

Very well! Let's do past, present, and future.

[lays out the first rune]

This one represents support from others. In the past, there was someone helping you.

[foolmetwice]

Helping me with what?

[unhelpful??? also despite his proclamation that he doesn't believe in fate he is somewhat interested, so. . .]

[afailedmurder]

Well, let's see.

[pulls out another one]

Man — that one represents friends and family.

[foolmetwice]

[uuuuuh]

That can't be right.

[afailedmurder]

The stones work in mysterious ways.

[it seems wrong that it isn't right but whatever]

For your present, we have: The game.

...A bit on the nose, isn't it? I feel that way whenever I pull that one.

[foolmetwice]

[he doesn’t have friends or family he doesn’t need them!!]

. . . well, might as well be heavy-handed about it. As though we wanted to have the salt rubbed into our wounds.

[afailedmurder]

That seems about right.

[pulls out another rune]

And in the future: the giant. Power and danger. Be cautious about the decisions you make.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . aha]

Hm.

[yeah, he actually has no commentary for that one]

[afailedmurder]

In the context of the game, "giant" is also rather on the nose, isn't it? It harkens to the frost giants of Norse mythology, who...

[pauses. who do what? what was he going to say?]

[foolmetwice]

[. . . ?]

Who, what? What about them?

[afailedmurder]

They, ah...

[there is a far-too-long pause as he tries to remember WHO? WHAT? WHAT ABOUT THEM?]

...They were the tyrants of a cold, cruel world.

[foolmetwice]

Iiiis that really what you were going to say?

[. . .]

Are you implying I'm going to become some kind of tyrant?

[afailedmurder]

Of course it was!

[not]

And the tyrant isn't necessarily you!

[foolmetwice]

Ah. The "Producers," right?

[afailedmurder]

That's it! That's what I meant!

[foolmetwice]

[A are you okay]

. . . aaaare you feeling all right? You seem kind of out of it.

[afailedmurder]

I'm... a bit out of it. My apologies.

[foolmetwice]

Your cold must be getting worse.

[since you're GRAYSCALE now]

Never seen a cold with "premature gray hair" as a symptom, though.

[afailedmurder]

I feel fine, really.
