>> Currently it is surrounded by traffic cones, caution tape, and signs reading "HAZARDOUS" and "DO NOT TOUCH".

>> Someone has approached THE ORB in the five damn minutes you were gone.

> You stand at the edge of the woods, waiting patiently for your date to show up.

> You’re not really into video games, and you don’t want to give Kinsra the satisfaction of beating you in whatever game you try to pick, so you’ve decided to usurp his choice of first date with your own. Which involves you arranging to have him meet you here.

> Yes, you did this by somehow leaving a signed note on his keyboard with cryptic directions to your location as well as a time and a date. The mystery is what makes it fun!

> You don’t have all night, though, so he’d better hurry and get his ass out here before you stand him up.

> Also, you’ve left any texts he’s sent on read, just to be extra frustrating.

"Spider lily."

"Hmmmmmmmm."

"Okay."

>> You cackle madly as you realize the bullet you fired into some annoying troll's chest was one causing sudden, extreme mutations- The troll sprouting multiple limbs, multiple eyes and mouths tearing open on their face and neck. It's a packed city street- There's tons of trolls to witness that.

"holy shit, holy shit! th4t worked w4y better th4n i could h4ve predicted! h4h4h4h4, th4nks for being my guine4 pig~ 4nd h4ve 4 nice life, those 4ren't going 4w4y."

> As per usual, you teleport straight into the main part of Kinsra’s hive, throwing a glance around to see if you can spot him, or anyone else.

> You’ve been texting regularly- Actually reaching out to him and texting first, which you don’t usually do frequently- Since his moirail went missing. And you’ve been dropping by like this once or twice a week.

> You haven’t pressed too much about it, more just providing your presence and vague support. You offered immediately to use a tracking spell but he declined for whatever reason, and you haven’t offered again since.

“Kiiiinsr444.”

> You call out to announce your presence, and flounce towards whatever room you seem to sense him in.

> You nurse a glass of one of the bottles of wine you brought as a new-sweep’s gift for Kinsra. He decided to have a little party to celebrate the turn of the sweep, which you encouraged and promptly invited yourself to.

> He considers more people close friends than you- And you think, he- Realized, and there’s quite a few trolls here. Quadrants, quadrants of quadrants, and good friends.

> Kinsra also challenged you to a game of Mario Kart, because he’s been insistent about you playing video games with him- You suspect he thinks you’re not any good and he can beat you. You cheated using magic, winning every round, and then acted incredibly offended when he caught on.

> Anyway! You’ve had enough tormenting your beloathed kismesis for the night and are now turning your attention to the other guests. There are some interesting trolls here, and you accidentally lock eyes with a fellow who has some particular...Vibes.

“Well, hello there.”
