week 2, saturday

[vigilantics]

[ me trying to figure out who was hosting this for five minutes

but steph has temporarily left her hiding spot to go grab something to make an Attempt to eat. there is escha.

... steph does not really stop to chat, but she does like. wave? a small wave of acknowledgment. ]

[applechemist]

[ Escha, however, waves back before stepping up beside Steph. You going to get food?? Let her make you a food! ]

... I'm sorry about your friend. I should have said so earlier.

[vigilantics]

You're fine. It's been... a busy weekend.

[ and she knows people are dealing with their own problems right now. ]

[applechemist]

Still.

How are you holding up?

[vigilantics]

I dunno.

I've mostly just been thinking about how trial went, which is giving me a headache.

[applechemist]

That's fair.

You would think we would be better at this. We have all that practice.

[vigilantics]

[ ... ]

I think the fact that we all come from places that ran things a little differently from each other is biting us in the ass.

[applechemist]

Maybe. We do spend a lot of time just trying to figure out which rules carry over and which don't...

[vigilantics]

I think that we should talk about it, but... maybe we can really discuss the differences outside of trial. During the week.

[applechemist]

That would be good. There are a lot of things we could stand to be more efficient with. We spend so much time waiting on information...

But it would be nice if we could use that time to be more productive and make actual theories.

[vigilantics]

The earlier in the week the better, probably. Monday or Tuesday might be good, since... it seems like people keep waiting to go on adventures later in the week.

[applechemist]

I'll see if I can arrange something.

[ Hm. She seems to actually catch herself being in business-mode. ]

... I'm sorry, you probably don't want to talk about this sort of thing right now.

[vigilantics]

... don't worry about it.

I'm used to this.

[applechemist]

That's a bad thing.

[vigilantics]

... not always.

[applechemist]

I guess if it takes your mind off it... But it isn't the type of thing anyone should have to get used to.

[vigilantics]

[ ... ]

What do you wanna talk about?

[applechemist]

Whatever you want to talk about.

[vigilantics]

Oh...

[ hm ]

Something that you like to do.

[applechemist]

[ Escha frowns because the answer is obviously alchemy, but she. feels like everyone is probably tired of hearing about that by now. ]

Um... You sure?

[vigilantics]

I've heard a lot of depressing things today already.

[ so, yes. she's sure. ]

[applechemist]

[ that's valid... ]

Well... I like to do alchemy, and gathering materials for alchemy.

[vigilantics]

How does alchemy work where you're from?

[applechemist]

I do it the old fashioned way, so... You put your materials in a cauldron and then you swirl them around until they turn into what you want.

There are new methods being developed in Central, but I don't know as much about those.

[vigilantics]

[



that just sounds like magic. god steph hates magic. anyway. ]

What kind of stuff can you make?
