Anya pouts. "I was hoping you had forgotten that. I haven't been able to ask you anything yet!"

The musician sits back in the chair comfortably, "That's all part of my plan..."

Anya gasps in outrage and proclaims, "Your time will come. Alex, pick a target so sometime soon Chance can get what's coming to him."

Alex shakes his head. "See, look at how weird this game has gotten. Chance literally pulled a Garth Brooks and became Chris Gaines, then he became the fricken' kingmaker. Yet you probably wonder why I was reluctant to play."
That said, he looks towards Dr. Stake. "You're a little behind. Truth or dare?"

"Truth is beauty, beauty is truth, and 'reality' is neither beautiful or true. I take dare."

Alex grins. "You're full of surprises. First the accent, now Keats. I would, however, argue that truth is subjective, like reality, and can also be ugly...but I'm pretty sure a debate between the two of us will drive everyone else to drink."
Alex grabs his laptop and sits it in front of Dr. Stake. "Make a Twitter account, make up an appropriately stupid and backward ass theory, like flat earthism or antivaxxing, then get into a fight with at least one major scientist and make it onto at least one major pop culture site."
((OOC fun fact, I once played Keats in a Vampire game))

"These dares are just cruel," Venisha chastises. "But if you wind up ever having that debate about the subjectivity and ugliness of truth, count me in as a participant."

Dr. Stake smiles, and says "This sounds fun. Let's see - Twitter handle is for Mike DeGrass Tyson, @punchscience... Theory should be..." And here there is a long pause as he ponders something sufficiently rediculous "There is so much that has already been done, like 'wind power will hurt the atmosphere,' and 'solar power drains energy from sun,' finding something new... Ah. I have it. Geo -Thermal energy will deflate the planet like balloon."
He then sets to creating the account and manipulating trending feeds.

Alex laughs hysterically. "I look forward to seeing your proof. Make sure that, in the end, you burn everyone who will end up agreeing with you and reveal the whole thing as a hoax. I don't really need the bad karma from this, nor does the internet need more stupidity."

Chance watches the antics, rolling his eyes once as the two go back and forth like children who have just discovered the internet, "You two are a couple of bloody boffins." There's that smile again that's shown itself a few times tonight...it's one of genuine camaraderie and acceptance.
As he has listened to Dr. Stake switch between accents as well as masquerading as a maniacal, finger tapping genius, when in fact he seems sane, Chance begins to question his choice of salutations. "I think Jekyll may be better for you...but we don't need the interns getting all confused..." Then to himself, almost absently, "Maybe B.S. still works..." In response to the look he is sure to get from Anya, he shrugs "Hey you all need stage names, right?...I can't be calling out your real names for all the Dark Suits to hear, right?"

Anya digs out her phone and starts typing as she says, "Let me know when that debate is scheduled so I can have other plans. Any other plans. ...There, one real live follower to add to your bots. Some of my followers might actually fall for it too, let me do some retweets."

Anya slows down in her typing as she thinks about Chance's suggestion. "I don't know. It's not like you're going to call out my full name and social security number and police record. And I'd probably forget unless I used the nicknames all the time." She shrugs. "What were you thinking of for me?"

To Venisha: "Some day over lunch, perhaps. Or maybe after sparring, I'm a little out of practice."
To Anya: "Come on, philosophy and metaphysics are fun ways to hone your mind!"
To Chance: "I would always recommend single letters associated with our names, as it's easier to not screw up. If you want to pick something more colorful for me, feel free, but I will flat-out refuse 'Reaper' on principle."
To Dr. Stake. "Don't forget that it's your turn."

Chance shrugs at Alex, "You're Doc...you're stuck with it I'm afraid."

Alex shrugs in return. "Fair enough, though hopefully that doesn't create confusion with Dr. Stake."
