LIVE AND LET LIVE

[neigh_sayer]

Who: All and whoever!!
Where: Lobby/Lounge/Kitchen
When: 89 morning!! handwave before or after murder idc he'll be doing this for a while

[guess who was up at ass o'clock cooking and waiting for the cafe to open?? IT'S C, IT'S ALWAYS C

anyway when you come downstairs for breakfast or possibly brunch, there's quite a spread waiting. Most of it choice items from the cafe: macarons, muffins, dainty breakfast sandwiches, tea cakes, and such.

BUT there's also at least a 10 person meal's worth of bacon piled high on plates, deviled eggs, and sliced fruit. A pot of coffee is brewing and tea is made too. There's more of the cafe food, since that's always plentiful, but it looks like he didn't skimp on side items either.

C is dressed slightly less like a gremlin today, having brought down one of the alcheme thrones in the lounge and is well, lounging in it. He flashes a grin]

Gooooooooooood morning my lovely little false idols! How are you feeling? Great? Miserable? A whirlwind of emotions swirling inside you? Good, good!

Well, I've a very special announcement to make! It's been a while since we've all had a real heart to heart, don't you think? We're always going on about oh nooo, I died, oh no my feelings, or oh no demons! Demons are especially soooo boring now. Quick refresher for all you newbies--you're playing this game so those rascals can snatch you up and recruit you! Neeheehee, it looks like they're gearing up for something big. . .

But that got me thinking! Why should you all be busting your ass for them? When you could. . .be busting your asses, for me.

[at this point, he stands up on the throne with a grand gesture, spreading his arms]

Neeheehee! That's right folks! I'm officially throwing my hat into the ring! Becoming some demon's lackey is so dull, so I thought, why aim so low? A simple wish, going home. . .why settle. No, no, I intend to become a god. The whole package! I've already have a legion of followers, so this is the natural next step.

So consider this a recruitment breakfast! Oh, and don't worry. Neeheehee, even soon to be gods have to play by the rules! You don't have to put me before your teams or your lovers or your cat or whatever else. Just know that I've got you, when the time comes. . .well, some of you. As god, I'm gonna have to pass a bit of judgement, so not everyone can join. Sowwy!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANYWHO, that could all be bullshit! But come on on down for an Alcheme Brand Fortune~! And see exactly why you should join my faction!


Or just get some free grub and help me brainstorm a name for the new faction. I'm thinkiiiing. High-Cs? Capital C and all my Lowercases!

[as a side note, for everyone he's recruited that doesn't have one yet: they'll find a handstitched bandana outside their unit's door; it's white and checkered with their team colors.]

[Well. Filing away that reaction for use later when the blood isn't rushing to his head and he can think straight.

For now, he'll busy himself with trying to keep control of that kiss, tilting X's face in a way that is more favorable to Intensity's position]

[liftoft]

[ the same as before, X responds well to being physically put in his place; he doesn't fight the angle change, and even makes a soft noise of approval, between kisses.

That's fine, though. Why fight something so small like that? He'll just prove that he doesn't need something like the advantageous angle to be good at this.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Eventually, Intensity does pull away - the pull in his leg supporting most of his weight being too heavy to ignore (not that he shows it).

Instead he just huffs and crosses his arms, giving X an appraising look:]

Well?

[liftoft]

[ at some point he had closed his eyes again, so he had to blink himself back into paying attention to things besides how Intensity's mouth felt against his own, before he can reply.]

... I think if the audience ain't happy with that one, then there's no pleasing 'em at all.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You'd be pleased by anything. Raise the bar.

Regardless, see if you can figure out how much disease suppression that gets you.

[liftoft]

Man, why can't you just let me compliment you. Also , that ain't true. You dont got any idea what I'm pleased by!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You're pleased by me. Unless I misreading the situation entirely.

Also why I don't need your compliments.

[liftoft]

Nobody NEEDS compliments, man. But yeah, You definitely please me! So what!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Sure you don't?

[liftoft]

No? Damn, you got some weird-ass ideas about me that you just don't wanna let go of!

I like gettin' compliments, 'cause it's nice when other people tell you they thought you were cool, but whether or not anybody notices what I'm doin', I'm gonna keep on bein' me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Considers that answer carefully for a moment]

And at your core, who are you?

[liftoft]

Somebody who believes in himself.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And you'd be able to manage the situation if no one else believed in you?

[liftoft]

What kind of stupid question is that? Of course I can! I'm goin' to space, remember? It's just gonna be me and nobody out there. I'd better be able to rely on myself for that!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And uncomfortable stupid question. Based on your reaction.

[Offers his hand out to X to take]

[liftoft]

I don't get you man, it seems like you keep wantin' me to be insecure or somethin'. What's that about?

[ But takes his hand.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I keep tab on people's weaknesses. That shouldn't be so surprising.

[Which also means Blue Eyes is going to let go of X and assist in helping him be hoisted to the back of the dragon]

[liftoft]

Haha, I guess there's no problem with that, but that ain't one of mine, man. Doesn't matter how many times you try to tell me it is, y'know?

[ blue eyes letting go of him is--alarming, for just a second, before its fun again, and he pulls himself up with a grin.]

I know everything I wanna do is gonna be hard, and I know there's gonna be setbacks, and a lot of people probably just won't get it--but no way I'm gonna give up when it gets rough.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And once is X is secured, Intensity pulls himself up, un-lodging his foot from its spot and rubbing the tension out of his leg.]

Then consider it less of a weakness and more of an untapped strength. You don't think you're the kind of person who would benefit from the support of the faceless masses?

[liftoft]

Of course I would! Everyone with a dream would benefit from support, but calling 'em faceless masses is all wrong too. Sure, there are billions of people I wanna inspire that I'll never meet, but they all got their own lives, y'know? Everyone's their own contained galaxy! My world's just like--the universe that holds all of 'em!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And are you a believer of one life is worth the equivalent to another? Or do some have more intrinsic value than others?

[liftoft]

It doesn't work that way--life's not something you can weigh on a scale.

Everyone deserves to want to live. I won't begrudge anybody who fights their hardest to survive.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Even if you have to kill them?

[liftoft]

Especially if I have to kill them.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

That's the most sincere thing I've heard come out of your mouth yet.
