[ a thump comes from behind one of the new doors that's appeared in the hall, a bit of frustrated mumbling following suit as who ( or what ) ever is on the other side seems to have encountered a couple of... problems. look, some people just aren't morning people. ]

[ a few minutes later dottore steps out in his pajamas, consisting of pants, an unfastened straight jacket, and an eye mask that's askew in his similarly colored hair. ]

Where's the screen? [ he's having a bad morning... ] And do we have any coffee?

[ it's a little hard, but he's got a set of wings ( currently being crushed ) under the straight jacket. as much as he'd like to shed the damn thing and free them, he's far more interested in just getting his color selected so he can gain access to his closet and change. straight jackets bad!, and he's not amused by the producers sense of humor. ok, maybe a little. ]

[artlover]

Need some help there, Buddy?

[ he's got fox ears and a FLOOFY tail. ]

[hypokriticoath]

[ unfazed...! he thinks this is normal. ] I could most definitely use a hand. [ he's mostly free. ]

[artlover]

[ reaching for the straight jacket ]

Let's deal with this, and then get coffee. I'm Z&, and this is AlcheME!

[hypokriticoath]

[ he's rolling his shoulders, a puff of crow feather's bursting forth as soon as its loosened even slightly. ] Ah, so sorry for that. I'm guessing they thought this was funny.

[ look, it is, it really is, but he would only laugh if he were on the other side. that's just how it be. ]

A perfect plan, Z&. AlcheME!, [ a sharp zippered smile. ] Sounds fantastical. [ if the dorm was anything to go by... ] You can call me Dottore, though I should probably choose another name, a stage name, yes?

[artlover]

Letters are popular, if ya wanna take one. But don't feel limited ta that.

[ heading to the kitchen. ]

Coffee's this way.

[hypokriticoath]

Letters? [ that earns a chuckle as he follows. ] Where did the & in your name come from, if you don't mind my asking? [ since he does want to be obnoxious out of the dorm, but he's stuck on what to choose for the rest of alcheme!... ]

[Leans out from behind Z&]

We have coffee, but who said you get any?

[hypokriticoath]

You. I am now we, and we have coffee, so therefore I can have coffee.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

And I am I and I say only people with names and real clothes get coffee.

[hypokriticoath]

And which name of mine would you prefer? The one I go by now, one of the dozen I've been called, the one I plan to use outside of the dorm, or the one I'm thinking of asking all of you to call me?

As for the clothes, I'm still waiting for somebody to point me in the direction of the screen.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Oh, you think you’re special for being called a dozen names? Welcome to the club.

[Heads in the direction of the screen]

[hypokriticoath]

I'm very special, thank you for noticing.

Dottore is my name, but you can call me D... though Z& mentioned going beyond the scope of letters, so now I'm curious what I could possibly add to that. But I digress, ...for now.

And finally I plan on introducing myself as α.

[ This guy is slightly paler and has notable vampire fangs but honestly maybe it's genetics or he just never sees the light of day. The latter is partially true. ]

I believe there is a coffee machine in the kitchen, but I don't know if any of the others have woken up yet to make coffee.

[hypokriticoath]

[ now he is beginning to wonder if this group is made entirely of auditions or all of these crystals are the result of a chemical spill. either way, he feels right at home. ]

I'm sure I can figure it out. I feel like I haven't slept and everything hurts... so coffee's got to be the solution to at least one of those things. [ maybe. ]

[alchemechanical]

We could get you some painkillers to go with your morning coffee.

[ I'm sure that would be fine. ]

[hypokriticoath]

[ breakfast of champions. ]

Sure. Let's see what passes for medicine around here.

[alchemechanical]

I have a bottle in my room.

[ Definitely not for lack-of-sleep-induced-headaches or anything, which he goes to retrieve. ]

[hypokriticoath]

[ going to head into the kitchen and pour them both coffee that z& made. ] And what should I call you?

[threatmewted]

Great, did we get a straight up psycho this time?

[Hi dude, there's a girl with wings here.]

1/2

[hypokriticoath]

[ ]

[hypokriticoath]

[ his arms are both free now ( and one of his wings too ) so it's more of a jacket at the moment, but the comment earns a chuckle. ] That's Dr. Psycho to you.

[threatmewted]

Oh, a mad scientist. Even better.

[hypokriticoath]

I'm glad you agree. [ two can play the sarcasm game. ] I'm Dottore, though I'll be going by α outside the dorm and D🚑 inside the dorm.

[threatmewted]

Damnbulance.
