[ 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.

[ 👍 ]

[ dottore is still skimming the notes as f explains the game and what happened at it. at some point he stops, eyes peering over the edge of the paper. ] Ah, so they thought they could get away with throwing you to the wolves... I think that makes it worse, honestly. If you're going to hurt somebody, at least be up front about it.

What teams did these people belong to? And I realize that there's not much regular medicine can do here, but I'm going to make sure we're plenty stocked on everything we could ever hope to need in case something like this should happen again... taking the edge off, even slightly, should be within my power... [ time to bother scaramouche for more points. what would an alcheme hospital upgrade even look like... ]

I can get behind that. [ obviously... ] I hope they'll think twice in the future.

We had planned to save up a team fund for paying for healing, but stocking on medicine is a good idea I hadn't thought of as well...

[ An apothecary maybe?? ]

[ F is not so much about painting a target on other people as he is about knowing who to defend themselves against and be cautious around, which is why he is inevitability willing to be upfront with any AlcheME who asks him for this information. ]

The teams that were involved were Zrael, Heart Soldier, Bad End, and Future is Now. I'm still trying to determine if any of them are actively hostile against us, versus simply seeing us as expandable.

Both would be a good idea. I might see if I can wring some mora, er... points from a... colleague of mine. [ he doubts he'll be able to get it, but it can't hurt to ask. ]

[ dottore is kind of shocked the list is that long... and though he's wearing a mask the surprise is probably still relatively evident on his face. ] Even if their behavior wasn't malicious this time... they clearly hold little to no love for those on this unit, and they'll likely do it again... [ time to start thinking up harmless pranks. ]

Yes, I believe that to be the case since I don't believe we've given any cause to have someone treat us otherwise, unless there are long-standing grudges we are unaware.

If I'm able to determine any results from my research, I'll be sure to passt hem on.

I'm looking forward to it.

And let me know if there's anything I can do to help outfit the dorm. I don't like being idle for too long.
