At least sensitIV seems to enjoy themselves with whatever it is they do behind closed doors.

[HI I am a large bird with a cute scarf and a woman's voice, how do you do]

Is this a common occurrence for ..."sensitive"?

Well, aren't you just dashingly fashionable?

They are a peculiar lot to be sure. Hard to predict. Honestly, AlcheMe used to beat them for such antics, but they seem unwilling to be second place.

Future is Now, is it?

One's garment gives it away, does it?

You are correct, one is indeed aligned with "the future is now", and one's name is The Perfected Lord who Retains the Clouds by Borrowing the Wind.

One has only just arrived, and is yet unaccustomed with the myriad troupes and their inclinations in competitions of this nature. And thus one is investigating.

I'm quite close to one of yours. Your unit that is.

[He bows.]

What a delightful name! Borrowing the Wind... How poetic.

Well, go on. Ask your questions. I am intrigued.

To begin with, how might one address you?

Alexandar of BARiTONES. While I do have my full memories, 'twas the name I was given to match my unit. I'm rather fond of it.

Well met, Alexander of Baritones.

You are close with a member of one's troupe, you say?

Levity. Hythlodaeus. I'm not sure what name he has given to you. A friend from eons past. One of my best ones.

'Twas for that reason I did not select your unit as a target and will not be for the foreseeable future.

One is unfamiliar with anyone bearing either of those names; however, one is aware that there is a member of one's troupe whose path one has not yet crossed. Since one's arrival several days and nights ago, one has not spent more than a few moments in the communal domicile. Surely it is for this reason we have not yet met.

That said, one has since learned the importance of returning periodically. Thus, one is certain one shall meet this mystery character in due time, perhaps sooner than later.

One shall take careful note of your friendship. Although your friend was not present in the competition today, you have one's gratitude for not poisoning us.

[He blinks.]

I would suggest returning to your dorm more often than that or else you will find yourself ill. Surely others have told you this.

[He waves a hand.]

Games are games. Would you poison us in protection of yourself, I would not be offended. Morality has little use in them.

One shall extend to you the same sentiment -- no malice, and no offence.

Also, rest assured one is painfully aware of the issues surrounding staying out too long. [SIGH...] One is now taking precautions. You have already noticed one's luminous apparel, for example.

[IT SUCKS!! but what can you do.]

Wonderful. I do enjoy being of an accord.

[He taps his chin.]

Oh. Is it not to your taste?

Hey, long as somebody had fun.

[ Hey, Alex. ]

Quite.

You kept the antidote, did you not? Truthfully, I gave it a fifty fifty chance that you did.

[ A flicker of surprise, then — amusement. ]

Lots of people around here underestimating me. Or overestimating, I guess, depending on how you look at it.

Well, don't keep me in suspense. Did you keep it?

Oh, we kept it. Made a promise, after all.

[He lets out a bark of a laugh.]

You made a promise to protect yourself?

I made a promise to protect LiliS.

[ He would be so much worse at protecting himself that it's not even funny,,, ]

You make it sound like you are not a part of LiliS or that you would not protect yourself? Sometimes sacrificing is easier.

But you aren't here to hear me prattle, are you? Did those you care for come out unharmed?

[ He doesn't blink at that observation, but you know. Probably for reasons. ]

Too much poison for the antidotes to take care of it all, but we got a win. So Persi's okay.

I noticed you didn't mention yourself.

She's the only one who took it without an antidote.

[ Simply. ]

That means three teams did select you. Am I correct?
