paradisa | four breaks of the stone

[The journals begins by dictating the sound of heavy boot steps crunching over the January snow, as if perhaps this might be one of those random entries.

A few seconds later, however, sounding rather hesitant, is a gruff voice addressing the page.]

Ahem. Since it is evident to me that I will not be returning home immediately, I suppose it it best for me to get some manner of work her in Paradisa - unfortunately the Peace Patrol, worthy effort though it is - does not pay anything. I wondered if anyone could recommend a place that would need help?

Ah. Also, this may be an odd request, but might there be a place where I might be able to acquire alchemical supplies? I don't require much, but I would rather....

[The sound of walking cuts of rather sharply followed by a small sound of surprised]

It would seem the castle has taken to kidnapping animals as well...

[He doesn't sound all that displeased. It's nice to see Blackalock again]

((ooc:So yeah, Durge is in the stables and has discovered his castle gift, i.e. his warhorse. Open in person and via journal!))

Alchemy stuff? Like... newts tails, bats wings, all that stuff?

That sounds more like witchcraft to me.

Oh...... there's a difference?

Quite. Witchcraft is magic. Alchemy is the study of natural law.

So anyone can learn alchemy? That's cool!

Of course. It requires patience and discipline, but beyond that there is little you need but desire.

And if you're looking for supplies, does that mean you know how to do it?

Well, yes. I find it a worthy way to occupy my mind in my off-time.

So do you think you could teach someone else?

Hmmmm. I suppose.

You should teach me!

[SOB, why does everyone think he's an expert?]

I could impart the basics, I suppose.

[haha, brought this on yourself, buddy :')]

Cool! What are we going to learn how to make?

Make? Practical work usually comes second to understanding the properties of the individual elements.

Yeah, learning by doing. [/derp derp, watch her try to twist what he's saying, haha]

[Women...]

The mysteries of such things don't reveal themselves so easily. It is usually some time before one actually attempts any kind of creation.

But we've got two people experimenting! So it'll probably take half the time, if not less!

Two cooks to not make water boil any faster, my lady.

But if we boil two pots of water at the same time, we can try twice the potions!

Theoretically speaking, yes, but let's start with one at a time.

[heh, she just heard the yes and the yest means she's right. asdlkghasd this girl]

Alright, boss. Then what's the first step?

[What is his life?]

I...will still need to get supplies before we can do anything, and to try and locate the proper texts in the library.

I can get stuff too, if you need. What would I look for?

Hmmm, any books on alchemy or metallurgy would be a good start.

Alright, I'll get back to you when I find some books, Professor!
