So someone told you about the 'inside' and 'outside' bit then?

...no. [ he hasn't really been told any specifics beyond what little he already knows, and most of its fuzzy in regard to the production. ] I just wasn't about to ask all of you to call me Alpha. I'll save the bullying for everybody else.

To clarify then...some of us have personas for outside of this dorm. Do your best to just roll with it.

Ah. Is there a reason for that? Just curious. But, hm, perhaps I should try to keep a lid on some of my more... quirky traits, though there are a few people here that are most certainly going to recognize me.

So you’ve pissed off people on other teams before, huh?

No. I just have a couple of coworkers here. The orange fighty one on Wild City [ he doesn't know what the hell they're calling themselves here so... ] and the short grumpy one on BARITONES.

I'll rephrase:

So you've pissed off coworkers before then, huh?

[ shakes his head. ] No. For the most part we all get along. A little bickering here and there, but that's relatively normal among colleagues. However, I'm the resident doctor and scientist... and nobody likes getting poked and prodded during their routine check-ups...

Aaaand what I do in my labs can sometimes be seen as a little strange, but that's just science.

[Another caster type]

...

What's that face for?

I made no face.

[ stares at the not!face he's making right now. MHM. ]

Not a fan of doctors or scientists or both?

Doctors and scientists are usually "caster". I'm not particularly fond of some of the casters I've met in the past, that's all.

...ah, I suppose I would consider myself a bit of a caster. [ given how he does attack people *most* of the time. ] But I do hope I break the mold.

You'll break something here. Probably a couple bones. You're already filled in on games, right?

I do hope it's more than just a couple. But I digress. [ for now. ] F told me about a game that happened recently involving... antidotes and poisons. [ his expression seems to sour instantly. ] And the two of you suffered all of the side effects, because a few teams decided to poison you, believing they could do so anonymously and face neither consequences nor guilt...

...needless to say, my play style is going to be...rather unforgiving after that. Hopefully you are onboard.

I am 110% on board. I would rather you and the others not have to hurt like that again, and I'm much more amicable to hurting everybody else to see you to safety. Now... who hurt you?

It was "anonymous" because people are cowards....however, F was able to find out who.

It's pathetic, really. If you're going to do something so cruel, then the least you could do is own up to it. [ shakes his head. ] I really do wonder if they're aware you know...

Aware? Of anything? Not a chance in hell. Humans are notoriously short-sighted. If it's not spelled out for them, good luck.

I suppose that's true. And your suffering that no real bearing on them, so there's no reason for them to give even half of a damn.

...well, they'll get theirs. Karma is a bitch, and his name is D🚑. [ going to laugh like a normal person for all of a few seconds. ] I really am glad one of our Lives is pranks. Harmless. little. pranks.

Don't start a war if you're not willing to finish it. I don't want to hear a newbie talk about being willing to fight back only to hear a week later how they love every team and 'oh no we can't hit the other teams let's just die instead'. So? Can you commit?

I'm not interested in self-sacrifice. Even the only person I even vaguely care about here should know that I come first.

Wonderful! We should have no problems then.
