[ GOOD AFTERNOON FIN


if you come into the dorms at this time of day there's a middle-aged man -- early forties maximum -- dress in ... a rather fancy silk pajama suit looking a bit lost. and out of place amongst all the white and chrome. ]

Is this a movie set ...?

[ he sounds and looks more than a little bedraggled. ]

Whoever that is, wait a fucking second! We have a fucking new person and the door doesn't unlock until they get through the onboarding bullshit!

[liftoft]

[ :0!!

well the knocking/ringing stops at least ]

Really? Sure, no problem, man! I'll be outside, come find me!

[ said like that's a given, like, of course that will happen?

Anyway if it does happen, later, he apparently meant literally right outside the door. He's not ...he's not hard to "find" ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Well, it looks like the newbie is picking his color, so---

Eventually the door opens.

Intensity steps outside to see if X is still there]

[liftoft]

[ he definitely is still there, and perks up when Intensity steps out.]

Hey man! You ready?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Eager, aren't you?

[Shutting the door behind him]

I'm always ready.

[liftoft]

Haha, that's what I like to hear! So where did you wanna do this thing?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The park is a good as place as any. They'll only be a few passerbyers to see your inevitable defeat.

[liftoft]

Haha, you're pretty spirited! Guess that's why your name is Intensity, huh? Great--that's the kind of thing I wanna hear!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Looking for a challenge partner? I've been known to throw down one or two on occasion.

[liftoft]

Heck yeah! Always! There's nothing like a little friendly competition to motivate you!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Yeah. Sure. Friendly competition. That's it]

Then shall we put a wager on this one? To make it more interesting.

[liftoft]

Oh yeah? Like what--? You know I'm new, right, man? I'm not gonna have a lot to offer up.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What kind of fortune telling were you planning on doing?

My request is a special reading. Non-broadcasted.

[liftoft]

Horroscopes, actually. We all do our kinda thing, sorta, and that one suits me! Or, I decided it did, anyway. So, sure, I can do that!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And what would you want if you won?

[liftoft]

Mmm, what's your guys' thing, again? Building stuff, right?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Correct. We're the nerd team with very varying levels of technical competency so buyer beware.

[liftoft]

Huuuuh... so, what would you call your competency level?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You're in luck. I happen to be fucking top tier among my peers.

[liftoft]

No way that's luck! Of course someone like me would find someone like you--that's basically destiny!

But since you are, how about... you make me something that'll help me pull of a really great prank? That's what Alcheme's all about, y'know?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I can do that.

[A grin and then:]

How long do you want people to hold a grudge?

[liftoft]

Hhuuuh, a grudge? Nah, that's not right-- I mean, if you're just talking about a "I'm gonna prank you back!" kinda grudge, that's one thing, but the point of a prank is that everybody can enjoy it--both the person doin' it and the person havin' it done to them.

It's just bullying, otherwise.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Not my usual fare, but I could dial it back a little if you do manage to win. Wouldn't be much of a prize if the winner was unhappy with it, now would it?

[Will he actually dial it down though? A fushigi mystery]

[liftoft]

[ he grins, so pleased that he didn't have to explain that any further or belabor the point ]

Yeah--! You totally get it! Thanks, man. I want it to be flashy and impressive as heck, of course. Maybe even a little Intimidating, but in a fun way!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well you can get all of that and more. Provided, you win, of course.

[And here we are, at the park]
