... 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?

[applechemist]

[ it's not magic!!! ]

Anything.

Mostly I make medicines and tools to help the community.

[vigilantics]

You're a real hard worker, aren't you?

[applechemist]

I feel like I hear that just as often as I hear that I'm lazy...

[vigilantics]

[ ah, she smiles. ]

So which is it?

[applechemist]

I definitely work very very hard!

[vigilantics]

That's the spirit, Escha! Don't listen to anyone else.

[applechemist]

[ yeah YEAH!!! ]

I-it's just that everyone has things they're good at and things they're bad at, you know?

[vigilantics]

[ she nods her head ]

Exactly. I know what you mean.

[applechemist]

For me it's paperwork.

[ ESCHA YOU WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT ]

What about you?

[vigilantics]

Homework...

[ it's mostly because she spends all her nights doing batgirl stuff instead of studying

she hates college ]

[applechemist]

Homework is hard, too! It was just like paperwork.

I'm glad I didn't have to deal with it for long.

[vigilantics]

I was free until I decided to go to college.
