[ presumably! he's gotten a cup of coffee. he's heading back down the hall when he sees the small red head in the cat kigu. blinks, reaching to tug on one of its ears. ]

[ he wants to say something... but they buckled him in a straight jacket, so he has no room to talk. ] Yes?

[ergospheric]

[ it is a very soft kigu. he sort of leans away like a cat that does not care to be petted ]

...

Is this a kidnapping.

[hypokriticoath]

If so, then I was kidnapped approximately [ takes a sip of his coffee. ] approximately six and a half minutes ago, so I get dibs on our kidnappers shins [ and legs. and torso. and arms. and neck. and head. ] when we finally encounter them.

[ergospheric]

Why do you want their shins?

[hypokriticoath]

It's a good place to kick. If you do so hard enough you can usually bring a person to their knees.

[ergospheric]

But you're tall. Can't you go for like... the head?

[hypokriticoath]

I could... but if I give our captors a solid kick in the shins, then when they're on their knees they'll be the perfect height for you to slap them around a couple of times or something.

[ergospheric]

I guess? Are they ... around?

[hypokriticoath]

No. I haven't even had a chance to meet them. But we're all stuck in the same boat, and that boat's name is alcheME!

[ergospheric]

[ frown... ]

Okay. So we all got kidnapped but we're all on the same side.

[hypokriticoath]

Exactly. We're a unit, one occasionally pitted against other units for fun, and of course the enjoyment of a faceless audience and the produces, whom work behind the scenes to make us miserable for ratings.

[ergospheric]

[ UGHHHHHHH deep breath ]

Okay. Well. That sucks, but I guess I'm part of it now no matter what.

[hypokriticoath]

At least we're all in this together.

Have you chosen a name for yourself?

[ergospheric]

Not yet. It's supposed to be a letter, right?

[hypokriticoath]

It looks like, though I was told not to feel limited, so I added an [ don't mind the old guy still trying to wrap his head around phone lingo. ] emoji to mine.

D🚑.

[ergospheric]

D:ambulance:?

[hypokriticoath]

D🚑.

[ergospheric]

Dambulance.

1/3

[hypokriticoath]

It's got a nice ring to it, right?

[hypokriticoath]

I had almost gone with D💉... but it would have been Dsyringe or... Dyringe and that almost sounds like Deranged...

I don't want to give people the wrong idea.

[ergospheric]

[ i see. this is a crazy person. ]

[ergospheric]

Well, it's nice to meet you. I probably am not going to put a picture into my name.

[hypokriticoath]

Pleasure's all mine. [ he dials back the crazy... a little. ] Fair. I enjoy the additional flair, although I will be introducing myself outside of the dorm as α.

[ergospheric]

So you're going to be D-Ambulance and also Alpha?
