"Or a guinea pig or something like that," Crissy says. "...as long as, like, we didn't accidently get one of the smart ones."
[EE - Dorota's Lab]
Syela smiles broadly when Dorota approves of her idea. "Great. Where should we get some lab rats then?"
[EE - Dorota's Lab]
"Let's get on it, then," Dorota says.
And, one shopping for rats later, they are in the lab and Dorota administers a tiny dose of the potion to a lab rat.
((Timeskip approved.))
[EE - Dorota's Lab]
Crissy looks on as the rat gets a fey supplement, looking just a little nervous.
She really doesn't like rats, it seems.
[EE - Dorota's Lab]
Syela looks a bit eager to see what happens herself. She's already been taking some notes when she had a chance, and she has her notebook ready now.
[EE - Dorota's Lab]
After a moment, the rat will begin to show a change. The tip of its tail changes to the head of a rose, with its tail as the stock, and its body turns the same pink color as the rose-tail. And then it gets hyper, and will run to its exercise machine to start running and blow off some steam.
[EE - Dorota's Lab]
Dorota can't help but chuckle as she sees the effects.
"Well, that's not something we've seen before. I think this substance may have even more random effects than we thought."
[EE - Dorota's Lab]
Crissy giggles as well at the cute Hawaiian rat, and watches for a moment, wondering if the effects will wear off.
"I guess we totally have some work to do to de-randomize the effects, then."
[EE - Dorota's Lab]
"Whoa, that's so cool." Syela peers intently at the rat with a big smile on her face. That was definitely not what she was expecting. "I wonder how long it'll stay that way."
[EE - Dorota's Lab]
"We'll have to wait and see. It's another observation we need, of course," Dorota says as she gives another dose of the substance to another lab rat.
[EE - Dorota's Lab]
Crissy nods, and grabs a notepad to start, er, taking notes.
"We'll also, like, need to detail any long-term effects otherwise too..."
[EE - Dorota's Lab]
"I wonder what makes it change what it does. It looks like it does plenty of stuff with plants, but Cessie didn't have anything plant like on her." Syela muses out loud. She picks up her notebook to jot down a few notes of her own.
Dana's Place
"Oh, you're going? Bye'a Gerri! I hope you start feeling better soon!" Lily has to swallow a big mess of ice cream before saying all this, and the moment she's done talking her eyes bug out as she feels the start of an unpleasant tingle in the back of her throat that every little kid knows and fears.
"Owwwwww!!!" She exclaims loudly as the brain freeze hits her hard.
Dana's Place
"Bye," and with that, Gerri will turn to leave.
[Dana's Place]
Dana giggles a little bit, but her voice is not without sympathy. "Lemme guess. Brain freeze?" She's definitely seen that before. Many many times. "What do I say about eating ice cream too fast?"
[Dana's Place]
"I'm sure she would have waited long enough for you to swallow." Dana says teasingly. She grabs a few dishes and sets about cleaning them. "Now what am I going to do with you?" She muses out loud. "Since you're here, maybe I should put you to work."
[Azik's Enchantments]
Nadas arrives here, dressed in his usual robes. Not carrying a ton of books though, so good on him for that.
Dana's Place
"Is there anything I can do around here? I thought all the stuff you did was big people work." Lily asks innocently as she pushes her nearly completed ice cream forward, holding out one finger ahead of the dish so that she doesn't accidentally shove it off the edge of the counter.
She doesn't mind helping when she can though. It's very rare that she's allowed to help with anything substantial though, and the reasoning the Cunninghams always gave her was that it was big people work, and she was still too little.
[Dana's Place]
"Oh, I bet I can find something for you to do. Hmmmmmm." Dana strokes her chin thoughtfully. "You could help dry some dishes." She suggests. It shouldn't be too tough for her to feel where to dry.
[Azik's Enchantments]
Nadas walks up to the counter then. "What purchases do you have available for the removal of fleshwarping curses?"
[Azik's Enchantments]
Azik Looks Nadas over, trying to determine anything odd about him, beyond what should be normal, "That depends on the nature of the effect. If it's an enchantment, then all it would take is a simple dispel, which could be sold to you with little fanfare. If it's truly a curse... then we have a problem."
"Low quality curses can be removed with a simple blanket curse removal effect, but more powerful or persistent ones will generally need to have specific conditions met before they can be removed entirely. Their effects can be dampened or removed entirely, for a time, if a solution isn't immediately apparent."
[Azik's Enchantments]
Nadas rolls up his sleeve just a little to show the chitin.
"A fey specializing in arcane fleshwarping attacked me with this. There didn't seem to be any massive preparation time or components or rituals so it shouldn't be one of the stronger curses some out there suffer. Curse may not even be the proper classification." Though Nadas refuses to call it anything but. 'Enchantment' makes it sound like it might even be wanted.
[Azik's Enchantments]
Azik will run a hand along Nadas' arm, and will reach to grab his hand. He'll stop if Nadas shows signs of resisting, but Azik is just doing this to identify the problem further.
"If I'm correct, this is a moderate level change. I may have what you need in stock, as long as you can pay for it."
[Azik's Enchantments]
Nadas visibly flinches once, but doesn't stop Azik.
"Of course."
Probably.
... Hopefully.
[Azik's Enchantments]
Azik reaches down behind the counter and pulls up a wand made out of birch wood with whorls carved into it, "This wand contains three charges of a curse removal effect, and is simple enough to activate. I have to ask you to pay before I give it to you though. It will cost you [Low cost for the effect]."
Azik's main selling point is his discounts.
[Azik's Enchantments]
Oh. Well then, it's actually affordable. Even if Nadas will be eating ramen noodles for weeks.
"Of course." He didn't expect anything less in terms of pay vs. effect and hands over the money post-haste.
[Azik's Enchantments]
Azik will take the money and give the wand over, before showing Nadas the unique way the wand is activated. The details of the activation sequence are up to you, Rein.
After this little process is finished, Azik will say, "If you meet this little fey once more, tell her I'd like to speak with her. She has caught my curiosity."
[Azik's Enchantments]
Nadas takes the wand. "No offense, but if I have the misfortune of being in her proximity again, I shall endeavor to increase my distance from her a thousand fold in a very short time frame."
That or murder her. Grrr. :smallannoyed:
"Many thanks again." Nadas gives a bow, and unless there's something else, he'll head out with his purchase.
