Who: alcheME!, some monkeys, & YOU.
Where: Outside the Hotel
When: Day 508, Afternoon

[ dottore and x are standing beside a small table that's got a couple of colored toy barrels on it. there doesn't seem to be anything amiss ( at least not at first glance ) but they've all got their wands out, so it may be best to err on the side of caution if you approach. ]

[ all of a sudden the ground starts to shake, a shrill chorus of chitters and chatters growing louder and louder until... dozens of rainbow colored monkeys ( some LORGE & some smol ) scamper out from around the nearby buildings in a chaotic troop. they're there to chew bubblegum and cause trouble, and they're all out of bubblegum... ]

Huh. Guess we know what that does now.

[ X doesn’t seem TOO concerned with the toy monkeys coming to life. Like. Obviously this is fine??? ]

It would appear so... [ the abrupt parade of screaming monkeys doesn't seem to faze him either, because he's already taking out a small black book from his sleeve. ] Echo, I need a hand, could you get me a pe- [ an androgynous mannequin in a lab coat with its head on crooked ambles over and shoves one of its limbs at dottore. ] -en.

[ an a for effort, but not the hand he had been looking for. ] Nevermind. Go... stand over there. [ he shoos it away and uses its limb to tap at his chin. ] Alright, well... in any case we'll be needing some help to collect all of these rogue monkeys. [ because, lbr, he can't be bothered to do it. ]

I'm sure some of the more creative people out there could even make it into some kind of game…

Or a ritual. We’re wizards or whatever, right? So here’s the deal: capture the monkeys and stick ‘em back in their barrels and we can end this little pr- I mean, summoning for once and for all.

[ Prank live + Ritual = 500 points for Alch and 350 for everyone else! ]

... It's okay. You just got it by accident.

...what.

It was to get praised and you just did it.

I see. [ or perhaps it's just the whiplash of going from a burying a guy square to a praising a guy square. nevertheless! he shrugs. ] Well, bingo square or not I meant what I said.

So now I've got a blackout and all.

That's one more blackout than I have.

I guess so.

We're covering all of our bases. I'm doing a Live and trying to amass points that way and a few of you are trying to win bingo for us. Are you trying to save for your abilities?

I don't know. Maybe? I wanted to help out...

Mission accomplished. Do you have enough points for one of them?

Um... no. I don't think so? Not yet.

How many do you need?

You're just as new as I am, so I shouldn't take your points.

...yeah, you're probably right. [ holds his hand out. ] Can I see your phone?

[

holds it cautiously ]

Are you going to put points on it anyway.

[ yoink! ]

Absolutely.

[ he's taller, so good luck taking it back, squirt. ]

[ he's checking to see how many points he's got. ]

[ HEY!!! JUMPS FOR IT ]

[ he has like 650 before the game win and 1450 after so they're schrodinger's points ]

[ going to hold s's phone above his head as he takes out his own, sending him 550 to make the schrodinger's points 2000. ] Oops, my finger slipped. Several times, it seems. [ drops s's phone back into his hands. ]
