L is for LIVE

[fleurescence]

Who: Anyone
Where: Lobby
When: Day 145, late morning

[So those new permanent corruption effects seem rough, but it sure has given L an idea for a live. As fanmail is clearing up and hopefully the last few idols are picking their colours, she let's off a smoke bomb and appears standing on a table, arms spread wide.]

Everyone! I, the lovely L of AlcheME, am having a vision! The universe has sent me a prediction about so many here today.

A lot of you are going to have trouble making your clothes fit now.

But never fear, this witch is here to help you out. Bring your clothes to me and let me take your measurements, and I can help you avoid this fate with a few simple alterations. Nothing is too big or small. Act now to avoid such tragic discomfort in the future.

((This is a prank live but the prank is that L is going to alter and EMBROIDER clothes to be fancy. PRANK MASTER.))

No no, this is a fortune telling live, see. And it's nice to meet you properly Mars, welcome back.

[foolmetwice]

. . . thanks?

[STILL DUBIOUS she is so nice]

So is your fortune telling schtick clothes tailoring?

[fleurescence]

My schtick is floromancy, at least it was for the one live I managed to do before we got pulled further into hell. This is just a straightforward prediction that people will want new clothes.

But tailoring could be pretty fun for predictions too, I wonder if I could do something based on clothes. Reading fortunes in the thread? Ooh, or I've been reading about horoscopes, maybe something like that but based on your unit colour?

[foolmetwice]

It's probably not a wrong prediction.

[all things considered]

. . . what the hell is floromancy?

[fleurescence]

[Gestures at him]

It's come true already.

Floromancy is fortune telling through plants.

[foolmetwice]

[haaaa]

If you've got something better than a cape to offer me, I'm listening.

And how does it work?

[fleurescence]

Do you not have any outfits at all?

[Technically she has some of A and Prim's clothes, but she doesn't think she can give those away... Hmmmmm, she could get some fabric from upstairs. Tapping her chin and walking around him thoughtfully.]

There's a lot of different ways plants can tell fortune. You can take the meanings of plants that you feel most attuned to and attribute them to your past, present and future. You can pluck the petals off of flowers to ask yes or no questions. There's one method where you put three flowers in your hair and depending on which one falls out first, it tells you what kind of life you'll have, but that one takes a while and none of the potential futures are actually that nice, so I wouldn't recommend that one.

[foolmetwice]

I do. They're probably upstairs.

[PROBABLY]

[he's just lazy]

No? I'm biting, anyway. What are the three potential futures?

[fleurescence]

Oh, so you just don't want to head up? All the clothes I could offer you are in my dorm.

The three options would be, if the top carnation in your hair dies first, you last years in life would be difficult. If the middle one dies first, your early years are the hardest, and if the bottom one dies first then your entire life is miserable. Which is just no fun at all, who wants to have that kind of fortune told?

[foolmetwice]

I'm lazy.

[HE SAYS THAT WITH SUCH CERTAINTY and no shame]

Wow. That is miserable. Who even came up with that bullshit?

[fleurescence]

I know, right? Somebody who wasn’t having a happy life, it sounds like, but I plan on giving happier fortunes than that.

Anyway, do you want me to run up and get something for you?

[foolmetwice]

[. . . u know what. . .]

Sure. Pick out the fanciest thing you can for me.

[he has no AlcheME! clothing so!!]

[he may regret this later]

[fleurescence]

Ooh! The fanciest huh? Leave it to me.

[Immediately scrolling through the shop on her phone, circling around him hmmmm hmmmmmmm]

[foolmetwice]

[he'd spread his arms wide and model for her, but]

[under the cape there are only boxers]

[fleurescence]

[She would appreciate his consideration if she knew. As it is, she’s scrolling through and holding some images up beside him, picturing how it would fit on him.]

Here’s the thing, AlcheME has so many fancy options, what kind of fancy are you after? Do you want something sparkly and glittery like this? Or maybe something with a few more ruffles, like this or this one?

Or maybe you’d look better with a cape? this is cute, oh, but this coat is fancy too.

[foolmetwice]

[omg those dress options ARE fancy]

[he doesn't mind dresses but he points to the second to last one because CAPE]

Sure, why not a cape? I'm a superhero, supposedly.

[supposedly]

[fleurescence]

Hero wizard it is! I’ll be right back.

[foolmetwice]

Hell yes, free clothing.

[THUMBS UP]

[maybe this won't be so bad after all]

[fleurescence]

[THUMBS UP, then she waves and heads off to her dorm to pick up the outfit.

Except then, instead of coming back down the stairs, she lets down her hair outside AlcheME's balcony, sneaks back into the lobby by shrinking herself and climbing onto the ceiling, then goes back to regular size and flips upside down next to him, smiling.]

Hi Mars, I'm back!

[foolmetwice]

[WAUGH]

[startles back, trips over the edges of B's cape, and. . . you know]

[faceplants onto the ground]

[fleurescence]

[Oops not what she meant, drops down from the ceiling to fret over him and offer him a hand up]

Oh, gosh, I'm so sorry, are you okay?

[foolmetwice]

[it's not her fault Mars is just INCREDIBLY skittish]

Holy shit what the hell was that?! Jesus! Don't scare me!

[fleurescence]

[TOO LATE THE GUILT IS REAL]

I was trying to do a prank, I just meant to surprise you not make you fall like that, I'm really sorry! You didn't hurt yourself when you fell, did you?

[foolmetwice]

I think I broke my tailbone.

[MARS DO NOT BULLY THE POOR GIRL]

[fleurescence]

You did? Where, let me see! Hold still.

[Well now she's gonna try and move that cape so]
