POISON: AlcheME!

[idolpro]

[ The room is plain, white walls and white ceiling, except for the steel-panel flooring. There are three metal stands rising out of openings in the floor, each of which carries a glass vial on top. One of them just holds water. Of the remaining two, one contains a dark red, opaque liquid with a creamy consistency; the next is a relaxing blue, with small brightly glittering star-like orbs drifting through it.

Both have fancy but identical cast iron stoppers moulded in the shape of a shark plugging them shut. The only difference is that the red vial's shark is painted white, and the blue vial's shark is painted black. ]

Very well then. What a quick decision, as expected. It would be nice if we had other refreshments while we wait. Ah, well...there's no helping it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[alchemechanical]

A shame we can't use the excess vial to do something creative in here with all these white walls.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

We could try to take it back with us?

Re: DISCUSSION

[alchemechanical]

Oya, it could make for an interesting experiment ingredient.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

It's worth a shot.

...are you worried?

Re: DISCUSSION

[alchemechanical]

... Not knowing what sort of poison could be delivered to us is troublesome. If I at least knew the effects, I could prepare myself for them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

It might be best to prepare for the worst case scenario and assume it will be painful.

Re: DISCUSSION

[alchemechanical]

[ How does one prepare for pain. ]

... Ah.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

[Reaches out to pat his head]

I'm already plotting our revenge.

Re: DISCUSSION

[alchemechanical]

It seems I-senpai is a lot more prepared than I am.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

The surprising thing about humanity is it is rarely surprising.

Re: DISCUSSION

[alchemechanical]

Does that mean you have already predicted the outcome?

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Of course.

Re: DISCUSSION

[alchemechanical]

I suppose I'll keep it as a surprise for myself then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Now we wait.

Re: DISCUSSION

[alchemechanical]

Yes.

[ Absently fidgets with his hat as they do, this is fine, he's chill, this is all chill. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

...

Do you want to hear a story?

Re: DISCUSSION

[alchemechanical]

[ Well that's a good way to completely distract F. ]

A story? Of course.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Stories about knights and kings are a bit old. How about one about a traveler from far away?

Re: DISCUSSION

[alchemechanical]

That sounds quite intriguing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Get comfortable then. Stories about travels are always rather long.

Re: DISCUSSION

[alchemechanical]

Ufufu, I have all the time in the world right now.

[ But he will settle down to sit comfortably, placing his hat back on. Just In Case. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

[Going to launch right into a story then... He has practice telling stories to the faeries of his woods, so he's surprisingly good at storytelling, making sure to change his tone at certain parts to keep the story vivid and engaging.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[alchemechanical]

[ F for his part looks a lot more relaxed, completely engaged in the story until their results finally come. ]
