[CW: bees! There are no pictures or detailed descriptions; I'm trying to go for a comedy angle moreso than anything.]

Who: you, and BEES
Where: the lobby
When: 401 morning(?)/whenever is convenient or funny for you

[Good morning, Imeeji!

Or perhaps it's a bad morning, because when you go down to the lobby you hear a weird buzzing sound, almost like... a bee...

Or, to be more precise, approximately 30 000 bees. Because that is the number of bees you witness once you actually step into the lobby. Amidst the havoc is an extremely flustered Levity, frantically trying to shoo the bees into a box, mainly by polarizing them into the box one at a time. He seems to be muttering to himself, but it's a little hard to hear over the buzzing.

Maybe you didn't need the lobby today, actually.]

[ B.. ee's?! What in the world... Aether had stepped into the lobby only half-awake but now he's quickly forced to get the remaining part of him awake just to make sure this disaster is... real.

. . .

Ok, yep, it's real.

When he sees Levity, he immediately goes to him in a very concerned manner and practically yells in an attempt to be heard over all them bees. ]

Levity, what's happened?!

[weenwoon]

[Levity looks like he's about to cry, probably, still zipping the bees into the box one at a time.]

I didn't think they would come without packaging!

[Well, that sounds like he is the one responsible for the bees?]

[skyshard]

[oh no, don't cry...!]

You mean, they just... showed up like this? [ Did he buy them from the points shop or something? ]

[scattershot]

[Matron's teats it's going to be another one of those days.]

So much for our quiet morning. If I ordered a net, do you think they'd deliver, or would I have to go back to the dormitory?

[skyshard]

Yeah, breakfast is gonna have to wait a little.

[ aether considers her words. ] I mean, I'm assuming he bought these bees and they didn't just magically for no reason appear, especially since it's... well, Levi. He would do something like this...

[ Why else would he be the only single person here suffering amongst the thousands of bees. ]
Which means they delivered them here in the lobby. So that should mean they'll drop it here, right?

[inspiteful]

[ He's just wordlessly going over to Levity. ]

Levity what the fuck is this.

[weenwoon]

[Unfortunately he knows Lark is from a ~fantasy~ world, and with how much time Levity has been spending around Valumi there is only one conclusion he comes to.]

Oh, these are--

[Levity has to stop abruptly as a bee tries to fly into his mouth, and half spit it out, half shoo it off.]

They're called bees!

[scattershot]

[What--

[Excuse me what is this--

[Why any of this, really.

[Everything in Alisaie's (admittedly limited) experience is telling her that despite how this looks you can totally sword bees to death if you have to, so she's drawn her Heart Weapon just in case. On the other hand, now that she's actually staring down 30,000 of them - so, approximately 600 Bee Clouds, assuming a standard cloud contains approximately 50 bees - them she's not entirely sure why she imagines it would. Surely some kind of a net would be more effective?]

Well, at least they're small, I suppose. Levity?

[weenwoon]

[i love the bee maths going on here]

Y-yes!

[He startles, almost dropping his bee box and flailing to catch it again. He's quite nervous because of the bees already, suddenly being addressed by a Girl With Sword is scary.]

[overworker]

[Although it was not a GREAT warning, Serenity did get one via a call for help. And she’s here to do what she can.]

…okay. I’m going to save my questions for later. Right now— we need to get rid of these bees.

[Think… think… think…]

…I could use Machai Provocation to draw the bees attention but it would probably make them angry, too. Buuut it beats collecting them one at a time.

[weenwoon]

[ALMOST DROPS HIS GOTDAMN BEE BOX AT THE THOUGHT OF GF DANGER]

I--no, you shouldn't do that! Renny, I forbid you to do that!

YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HSS VACUUM BEES - Live!

[scattershot]

[What could be better right now than a lobby free of bees?

[Getting paid to clear those bees up. Yes, that's right. That's how come Alisaie is standing with Aether, dressed in beekepers' veils, in the middle of a lobby full of 600 Bee Clouds, narrating.]

Hey! I'd like to thank Levity for introducing me to my new favorite thing. Happy accidents.

[She gestures to the strange contraption sitting by her side.]

This? It's a bee vacuum. Apparently this is a common enough situation in some quarters there's a specific tool for dealing with it, and as a concept I have to admit I rather love it. Let's see how it works!

[SHE FIRES IT UP--!! OPERATION: SUCK ALL THE BEES IS NOW IN PROGRESS.]

Hah! This is amazing!

Does anyone else want to try?

Re: YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HSS VACUUM BEES - Live!

[overworker]

[Alisaie here saving the day.

Serenity has to admit this creation is worthy of admiration. And it should help things along very nicely!]

That’s incredible… I want to try it!

Re: YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HSS VACUUM BEES - Live!

[skyshard]

[ the outfit makes this even more cool. Beekeeping suddenly is an interest. ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[bee vacuum,]

[failedsafe]

[Lily comes downstairs and sees the bees.

And sees that Levity is likely responsible.



]

This might as well happen.

[weenwoon]

[This might as well happen.

He gives her a sad puppy look, though!]

I didn't mean for this to happen!

[outofoffice]

[ The bard is seated on the back of one of the sofas, talking to the bees cheerfully, occasionally humming to them, like a very sane and normal person. They gather around and land on him here or there, seemingly entertained by this.



Wait, were the bees a problem? ]

[romanticlove]

[Ren sees two things when she arrives from the Dorm this morning, half awake because she is not a morning person. First, there are bees in the Lobby and second, HSS are currently trying to vacuum the bees. It doesn't take her long to figure out who the responsible party is. She walks right up to him.]

Levity... what on earth were you thinking?!

Re: Live: Discipline

[weenwoon]

[PLEASE NO BULLY!!!!]

I thought they would come in a box!

Re: Live: Discipline

[skyshard]

Ah ha, Miss Ren, I don't think there was much thinking to be had here in his defense. Please go easy on him.

Re: Live: Discipline

[scattershot]

Oh, good morning, Ren. Would you care for a turn with the bee vacuum?

[Sentences you never thought would pass Alisaie's lips, Volume One Issue One.]

[yawning and stretching happily, bouncing out of the elevator]

FINALLy, a morning where I'm NOT covered in scorpions--
