[ 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.

[ 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. ]

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

[ I'm sure that would be fine. ]

[ breakfast of champions. ]

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

I have a bottle in my room.

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

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

[ Coming back to set the bottle of painkillers on the counter. ]

Please call me F while we are here. Have you taken an alias already?

[ offers him the coffee. ]

D🚑 for inside the dorm, but I intend to introduce myself as α outside of the dorm.

[ he takes the painkillers and pops the lid off, taking four and just dumping them into the coffee. ]

[ This seems fine. ]

... Is D-kouhai acceptable?

[ slides the bottle back over to him. ] Thank you. [ going to drink the coffee down, pills and all. ]

Absolutely, F.

Thank you.

You seem quite quickly adjusted.

I'm an audition, no point in hiding that, so I know the basics. But, not only that, you're all very hospitable. [ he gives his drugged coffee a little shake. ] This is more than I could hope to get most mornings. [ so... winning! ]

[ Audition means like 0 things to F, so. ]

Oya... then that will make things much easier.

...at least in regard to general things. Is there anything I should know about AlcheME! ?

A number of us use a different persona in public while relaxing ourselves here backstage, so I suppose the main thing would be that if you are to bring others to visit, be aware that some of us may suddenly escape to put on our public faces, so to speak.

... Though perhaps I could set up a sensor by the main door to detect when a non-AlcheME presence enters and send a silent alert to those within the dorm...

I might be able to help with something like that. I'm sure we could use all of the crystals to our advantage. Use them as a means of warning each other, but, not only that, an alert to each of our phones could supplement that.

Ufufu, precisely. Being caught unawares within our own dorm would be unfortunate.

Agreed. It is supposed to be a safe space.

Then I'll draft up designs immediately and share them with you.

I'm looking forward to it.

Is that it then?

I believe everyone here is quite straight forward in their in and out personalities.

[ It's the in ones you gotta worry about. ]

Oh- and we were recently given wands to replace our potions- if you'd like a list of known potions to know what sort of enchantments you can cast with your wand, I could show you the original transcript.

I think we'll all get along then. I enjoy transparency... especially among the people I can trust. [ with other people, eh, it depends. ]

AlcheME!s abilities sound like they have a lot of versatility. I'm looking forward to using them, but, yes, if you wouldn't mind I'd like to have a look at both.

Ah, one more thing... how do you generally play in games?

[ Taking off his hat to dig through it for his own potion notes. ]

The original transcript is kept elsewhere, but here are my notes.

And ah, by playing games do you mean general strategy... ?

[ going to take and read them. ]

I do. I'd like to know how you tend to prefer to play, how it generally works out for you, and if you're satisfied with the results. I don't really want to step on any toes, but regardless of who is one the other side of these walls... it's all of you over them.

[ They are the ones pinned in the Alch chan for ref!! ]

Well... recently, there was a game in which we experimented with our standing amongst under teams. To simplify it, one poison, one antidote, and one neutral where in consideration for keeping, sending to one team, and discarding. We chose to keep the neutral and send out the antidote, whereas four teams, two sets working in collaboration at the time of the game, chose to send poison to us with a verbal recording of their decision making that likely they have no idea we heard.

I-senpai and I were the ones present for that game and spent the following days dealing with the after effects which weren't very pleasant.

So... following that, I believe we have a general agreement not to play so kindly anymore.
