Who: some nerds in neon clothes and possibly friends
Where: dorm dorm dorm
When: POST HUNGRY GAME

[There are like two of us who didn't die². Time to retire to the sleepover room, which is soft and contains no acid, bodies of water, flowing lava (derogative), spikes, bombs, guns, things that replace your parts with doll joints, et cetera.]

[Levity has dragged out the kotatsu from the kotatsu room out into the lobby (to minimize the walking distance), as well as a bunch of pillows and blankets from the sleepover room. There also various teas, milkshakes and snacks put out (yes, the curly fries are there). ONLY REST FOR EVERYONE NOW!]

[pyromagiac]

Wow! Did you do all this by yourself, Mr Levity?

[ are there flowers for a sheep ]

[weenwoon]

[absolutely flower salad for sheep!!

actually is there a sheep equivalent of alcohol]

Felicity! Well, I had my assistant help out. But I like doing this kind of thing.

[scarvedforlife]

[ Coming out of his room, freshly showered. ]

Eeeh, our dear kouhai got everything ready already??

[weenwoon]

[Fresh Senpai.......]

Well, I had little else to concern myself with, fortunately. I got out of the game unscathed.

[duality will put a cat on you for comfort.

whether that's Yuki or a plush cat varies. but there will be soft cats :<]

[pyromagiac]

Oh!

[ stops in her drawing, looking up. she has some gnarly ass burn scars that can be seen where her nightgown doesn't cover. ]

Hi, Duality!

[asonoficeandfire]

[... burn scars :(]

Hi... how are you feeling?

[scarvedforlife]

Is this cat-care?

[asonoficeandfire]

If it has to have a name, that's a good one.

[pyromagiac]

[ felicity is sitting at the kotatsu with a few papers in hand, as well as a pen. steadily making notes and drawing something. she might have died² but she's busy Inventing now ]

[scarvedforlife]

[ Plopping himself down next to her, a little tenderly but. ]

What're you working on?

[pyromagiac]

—Oh! Captain Sho!

[ pulling her hands away so he can see: it's a rough sketch of albert, but like, X-rayed, with the inner compartments of albert being doodled out. there's something about a crucible and polarization and something else about fire-resistant materials. a couple of chemicals have been circled out. there's also a checklist:

Aerogel ☐ Tetramethoxysilane 150 points ☐ Methanol (a lot!!!!) 150 points 600 points just in case ☐ Reagent-grade water 150 points ☐ Ammonium hydroxide 150 points ☐ Ethanol/Acetone 150 points ☐ Hexane 150 points ☐ Trimethylchlorosilane 150 points ☐ Mold (shape?) 100 points ☐ Strainer? Molecular sieve? ??? points ☐ Supercritical dryer → Chemical lab dorm upgrade? 2000 points ☐ Liquid CO2 150 points 600 points just in case	flower shaped = more fragile heart shaped = still a little fragile maybe better to stick with circle or hexagon
Lava ☐ Rock? hard to gather ☐ Sand? free at the beach but a little far ☐ Metal? where to get metal? ☐ Alternative material?
Staff ☐ Gather more scrap ☐ Pyrophoric material 150 points (tool!) ☐ Try cotton balls 100 points (kit!)

There's also a design of some sort of staff, which is fixed on the base of Albert's neck. ]

I'm just working on making a simulation of a volcanic vent! I was inspired when I saw the volcano in the competition—it was so beautiful—and I don't think I can really get it to be exactly like a volcano but I think I could at least mimic eruptions! Also, I've been thinking about getting a weapon for myself—I told you I didn't have to fight anyone in the competition but it's better to be prepared than not, right? Plus, if I can store it in Albert, maybe they'll even let me take it into a competition, but anyway, I remember carrying a staff and I'm pretty sure I'm a caster, so I thought I would try incorporating some Leithanien design into the new staff! I need a lot of raw material to make the fire-resistant material to gadgeteer onto Albert—and while I'm at it maybe I should put it on my clothes, too?—and the material isn't available to purchase anyway, and that's fair, did you know it's the same material that's used on space rockets to protect the shuttle from burning up when re-entering the atmosphere? Wow! I had no idea this planet's technology was advanced enough that people have already gone into space! Space! Anyway, it's not really a raw material and I'm sure it's expensive and time-consuming for the staff to make it so I thought I could make it myself, but I'll need a chemical lab to do it so I'm writing down everything I need for it all so I have a points goal to work toward and I'm thinking about doing a Live later today to get started!

[ Chivalry disappears into one of the labs for awhile when she first gets back, but it's only for about twenty minutes before New Drone Friend Sheep-1 leaves the lab and then also the dorm with a briefcase. After that she's just sitting at a workbench in the main room, working on her arm. ]

[scarvedforlife]

Need any hands?

[metafaliure]

[ someone went for a long walk after the game and came back looking ???different??? in some hard to determine way

oh wait she has cyber wings and a cyber halo like a normal person does

no explanation seems to be forthcoming. she's just writing in a notebook now. ]

[pyromagiac]

Oh!

[ :o ]

Those are pretty! What does the halo function as?

[ because clearly they are inventions that professor bell made ]

[onemoreknight]

Bell! How long have you been working on those wings? I had no idea!

[scarvedforlife]

That's a new look.

[constellationprize]

[ a little later postgame there is a ?? knock on the door ?? ]

[pyromagiac]

[ opening the door!! hello this is a sheep in her nightgown but underneath it dia can see hella burn scars

cheerfully, ]

Oh, hi! Did you need something?

[scarvedforlife]

Aradia-chaaaan~!

[nohalation]

[There is just a crowd of colorful sheep near the kotatsu. It seems they are crowding around someone who is buried underneath their bodies/wool.

It is a mystery as to whomst might be in there.]

[pyromagiac]

[ coming back over to sit but

oops

tripping



onto the sheep

now the mystery person is buried by another sheep. ]

[scarvedforlife]

Oh my, whatever shall we do with all these sheep.
