Comments

[mind_blown]

[honestly, he is going to be nursing some whiskey, in easy access of a SIV because. wow, melting sucks.]

[dumbjockenergy]

Do you want one of the sleep potions?

[weenwoon]

[Same though. Shit's fucked.]

I think this is the first time in my life that I don't know what to say.

[So he'll just, drink instead.]

later same night

[weenwoon]

[after snitching on jason to nero]

[anyway where's the Jason because Levity conspicuously left the dorm for maybe ten minutes and came back with... stuff. He's leaving the cardboard Nero in the entrance hallway for now because it's hard to make that a surprise, but the bag of Seemingly Groceries is innocent-looking enough that he can allow to come into the dorm proper with it.]

[purrrnicious]

[Shortly after the game, a batch of 8 Alcheme sleeping potions is mysteriously left outside the dorm.

Use as wanted/needed.]

[nohalation]

[Angel did it! Angel attempted to cook!

She has created 8 dusty looking dried up patties and a green goop for the side.

She looks at the "food" and sighs wistfully.]

[dumbjockenergy]

[ she tried and that's what matters ]

I'm sure it's fine. I'll try it.

[lowexpectations]

Oh nice. Mind if I have some, Ma'am?

[mind_blown]

... Huh.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Sometime well after dinner.]

Angel. Do you have a minute?

[dumbjockenergy]

[ hi guys she's just going to be slightly melty on the couch waiting for her cat before she sleep potions herself

it's been a long day ]

[forgottenmercy]

[speaking of sIV, your live-in healer is here. he brought a small frilly overnight bag and okayu that he absolutely bought with him.]

[mind_blown]

Whiskey?

[is this polite to offer when you're basically melting]

[lowexpectations]

'Sup! Thanks for comin' over!

[Probably two exclamation points too many for the situation.]

[nohalation]

[plops a sheep in their lap]

[lowexpectations]

[WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR TEAMMATES ARE MELTING AND A DUDE ASSIGNED TO UN-MELT THEM PERIODICALLY IS HERE FOR THE WORST SLEEPOVER IN THE UNDERWORLD??? A very good question Nike doesn't really know the answer to. He's spending his time in the general area everyone else is in, though, to grab things or run other errands on request rather than holing up in his room.]

They really wanted to make you guys into scientist soup, jeez...

[weenwoon]

Well, they succeeded in that in the simulation. At least we weren't actually dying when we got out.

[He's just... gonna be wearing his mask always now, full-face version. And just kinda staring ahead of himself.]

[scarvedforlife]

Not even the tasty kind.

debrief

[weenwoon]

[Right, well, that's a thing you're supposed to do, he thinks? And maybe talking about it as a game will help distance himself from it?]

...So. I think we didn't actually do badly. As far as I can tell, the final hit was completely randomized. We just got... really, really unlucky.

[Sigh!!!!]

As I understand, it's all rather chance-based either way. Planning will rarely get you far because there are too many random variables. So... I think we did well enough, considering that. Arya, your idea to use rodents for food was good; you have a real gift for strategy, I believe. Jason, thanks for keeping us on track. I'd have been a lot more panicked if you weren't there.

I'm curious how the other group did. Angel, Sho-senpai?.. I'm not sure who else was there.

Re: debrief

[mind_blown]

... WWWWWWWWhat are you doing?

[rollplayinghouse]

[knock knock FIN Glory is here with some stuff]

[weenwoon]

[Too bad they're drunk now.]

Glo'!

[scarvedforlife]

[ Viiiiisitorssss... yup Sho's gonna keep himself occupied in the workshop bye. ]

[hissterics]

[ FRANTIC DOOR CLAWING ]

[weenwoon]

[Have a drunk maskman.]

Oh! It's the girl!

THE NEXT MORNING

[inspiteful]

[ Knock knock your regular hangover fairy is here ]

[lowexpectations]

[OPENS UP with a half eaten candy bar in one hand.]

'Sup!

[what's the hangover fairy, never met him]

[asonoficeandfire]

[it's weird being all right when half the other team is not, but Duality is here and keeping an eye on people at least]
