paradisa | LVII

[Backdated to earlier in the day]

[Outside on the grounds (fortunately, away from any trees), seems to be the usual peculiar duo of Arya and Zelos. Both of them seem to be wearing goggles, gloves and lab coats - and in addition Arya looks like she's dressed up more for christmas with a forest green hat and red boots on. And right now, they seem to be very invested in doing a very important task]

[Science and Fire. In fact you can tell it's science by the goggles. And the clipboard to write stuff down if they feel like bothering.]

[When you pass by, they have a little station set up to help burn different types of things, using Zelos's magic or matches to start it up. One particular instance a person may be walking by, and there is a sudden huge burst of green fire out of nowhere. It's one that seems was a lot bigger than planned considering how at least one is jumping back.]

Whoa- whoops! Too much gas on that one hahaha!

[...What. we all deal with stress differently okay]

[OOC: open post or over the journal! Responses will be replied to by Arya or Zelos or both :3 ]

[OH GOD THE CHILD IS HOLDING FIRE. Why can't he know any kids who DON'T get themselves into peril whenever possible?]

Yeah, and things that light themselves are not good things. Leeeets drop the stick now, okay?

[Because that's how kids roll?]

[Zelos definitely seems surprised. though unlike Onceler, he figures she's smart enough to not hold onto a firey stick that is going to get worse]

- Whoa. How did that happen?

[ she looks from zelos to her stick and back. ]

I don't know.

[ the fire, as quickly as it bloomed, dwindles as it burns through the fuel faster than it can heat the still green wood. ]

I used it to mix that. And then that caught fire all by itself. And then the stick did too!

[The Once-ler breathes a sigh of relief as the fir fizzles out. Thank god for that one]

Yeah, some chemicals will do that. Just...y'know. Boom.

Huh....do you remember which chemicals?

That bottle with the green gunk and the one with the purple rocks.

[ she points out the antifreeze, miraculously intact considering its proximity to the fire, and the bottle of potassium permanganate. ]

...Is that antifreeze? [Oh hey, he recognises one of them. But he's more inclined towards the engineering side of things, rather than chemistry. That's as good as you'll get from him]

Antifreeze? [What is that.]

Did my hat get singed? [ priorities. ]

You put in in your car, to save the engine freezing up. There's more to it than that, but I'll probably bore you.

[He'll peer at you Arya] Looks like you got away clear.
