[ ancient..... ]

A soldering iron. I guess the simplest way to explain is that you can like, melt stuff and it joins together? So if you want to connect two ends of something, you solder it and connect it.

... you don't use it for everything, though. Just certain things.

[applechemist]

Like what?

[ .............. she turns it on ]

[vigilantics]

Uh, like...

[ i hate this

but she is going to walk around, looking, before grabbing two pieces of wire. ]

Like this!

[applechemist]

[ Escha looks back and forth between the wires and the increasingly hot soldering iron......... but doesn't really understand HOW you're supposed to use it. ]

Huh. Seems like something Big Brother would like. I wonder if I could make something like this...?

[vigilantics]

[ she does not see the problem. ]

With your alchemy?

[applechemist]

[ Escha nods! ]

All the coolest ancient technology was made with alchemy.

[ Hmm. The temptation is too much. She looks at the wires. ]

Can I try?

[vigilantics]

Yeah, that's fine.

... you should probably wear gloves to be safe.

[applechemist]

[ She very nearly sets down the soldering iron on the counter to look for gloves


but thankfully thinks better of it at the last second. ]

[vigilantics]

[ a nod of approval



time to find gloves. ]

[applechemist]

[ Searching for gloves while holding this dangerous hot thing that she should have worn gloves before even turning on. it's fine.

But she finds some! Now to. Put them on. With something in her hand.

Life is hard. ]

[vigilantics]

[ stephanie is here to encourage her and also not help. good luck. ]

[applechemist]

[ she manages to avoid burning herself!! or starting a fire!



for now. and now it is time to get at those wires. ]

What are these wires for, anyway?

[vigilantics]

Oh, I dunno. I just grabbed them.

[ safe ]

[applechemist]

Huh.

[ WELL IT'S PROBABLY FINE!! she is trying to weld them together but? basically is just poking at them with the iron? ]

[vigilantics]

[ apparently there is more to it but steph has not actually done this before so

she has no idea how to do it. it's fine. ]

Huh...

[applechemist]

[ It doesn't seem to be doing anything but melting the wires. ]

Am I doing it wrong?

[vigilantics]

Uh...

Maybe, turn it?

[applechemist]

[ She... tries turning it. But I looked it up and you're supposed to like add... soldering stuff... So... ]

Hmm... Maybe there are instructions somewhere!

[vigilantics]

[ STEPH IS JUST GOING TO

START LOOKING FOR AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL ]

[applechemist]

[ Escha is going to keep poking the wires with the soldering stuff.

She jumps and lets out a quick shriek when it sparks. and then. keeps going. ]

Haha.

[vigilantics]

Remember! Safety first!

[ she is just throwing stuff around while looking ]

[applechemist]

Yes, safety first!

[ she has GLOVES what more do you WANT? Protective eyewear????? jeez. ]

[vigilantics]

Why are there no soldering manuals here...

[applechemist]

I guess they assume we know how to use this kind of stuff. Like the washing machines.

[vigilantics]

I guess... oh. Where did you find that? Maybe there's something else there that might go with it.
