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! ]

[She's actually just taking pictures tho. New abilities rock.]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Using Appel to stun monkeys within earshot of a (much louder than without the ability) stomp! That makes it way easier to scoop them up.

...Sorry if you're also staggered in the process.]

[outofoffice]

[ Not helping.

Actually, he's staring openly at Dottore while ignoring a hoard of monkeys scampering around in front of him. It's almost comical. ]

[stoneandstave]

[ Muffling a laugh as he reaches into his pocket and then a whole slew of kudzu vines grow from the seeds in his hand, which wrap around the limbs of all plastic monkeys in the immediate area. Bonus points, some of them might climb the vines themselves. ]

[ One monkey hooks around Gent's neck, he scritches it. ] Cute little guys. Even if they are toys.

[ bro?????????? ]

[alchemechanical]

Oya, mascot competition.

COUNTERLIVE: Harvest

[at_heart]

[ Obviously, right? Obviously. This is made for harvest. ] [ But also, currently a ghost, so as soon as the live's set up, he's vanishing into a smol toy monkey to try to possess it.

Pick it up for a spook? Look, he's got squares to fill— ]

[artlover]

Wow, this sure is a sight!

[abovefate]

What do you expect me to do, make them drunk?

[leaveofabsence]

[ He tries to grab one but still being a ghost--- well, it just runs right through his hands and off it goes to cause more mayhem.

Perhaps watch for any incoming projectiles. Those projectiles might be the larger monkeys tossing the smaller monkeys. ]

Ah...

[deadlynadder]

[ wh... at. ]

-- Wouldn't one have been enough for testing?

[ A monkey tries to climb up her and she doesn't hesitate to kick it. ]
