you were up late at night making shrimp alfredo (around 2:43 am). as soon as you finished cooking your lights began to flicker on and off for a few seconds and then it suddenly stopped. in a puff of steam, Alaris appears, making his arm cartoonishly long so he can shake your hand "well hello there~ who might you be?~" you look at him. you notice he has a collar hanging from his belt. this might be fun.
