Salesman and greg

19:32		Salesman walks into the bar
19:33		GregClaskovic follows Salesman in
19:33	Salesman	Now, the only problem a transmutation circle may bring, is that it uses blood as a power source, making up the left out value
19:34	GregClaskovic	Is it of my blood, or your blood?
19:34	Salesman	Whoever is doing the alchemy blood, Normally it would take a boulder to get a diamond rock, but blood replaces the missing factor
19:35	Salesman	And no, you don't need to actually draw blood
19:35	GregClaskovic	Ah, so it is not of equivalent exchange.
19:36	Salesman	The blood makes it equal
19:36	GregClaskovic	Oh.
19:37	Salesman	Now, you must be careful, the bigger the object, the more blood, at a certain point your going to have to draw some out
19:38	GregClaskovic	It is not of worries. I have small yet significant healing factor of my metal skin power.
19:39	Salesman	Hmm, Alchemy allows shape change, perhaps your iron skin could factor into that!
19:39	Salesman	[again, all of this is canon in the covengerverse only, I actually have no clue about real alchemy]
19:40	GregClaskovic	[Pretty accurate, actually. Alchemy is the study of exchange, some would say.]
19:41	Salesman	Now for some examples, wishingwell ! mind giving us some gold coins?
19:42		WishingWell awakens from his drunken stupor to the call of his name and throws a roll of gold coins at the two, "Let a man have a hangover IN PEACE!!!"
19:43	Salesman	Aha, yes, thank you
19:44		Salesman gets a idea "say greg, how about I visit my old days of alchemy, follow my lead"
19:46		GregClaskovic starts to get ready to get off the chair, still trying to follow the idea of the whole concept of alchemy. "Sure, where are we into going?"
19:46		Salesman walks over to wishingwell. "Say buddy, having a hangover? I know just the cure!"
19:48	WishingWell	"None of your gypsy talk, please. I want to handle this as not magically as possible..."
19:49	Salesman	"now now, Alchemy is not magic, well it wasn't but thats not the point! I know of a, yoga like pose to fix you right up!
19:50	GregClaskovic	Can we get to the point, Greg is of losing attention.
19:51	Salesman	...yeah alright
19:52		Salesman places hand on WishingWell's head, making his helmet MUCH heavier, too much for the table in fact
19:54	GregClaskovic	Greg is concerned for coin man, Is he of well being?
19:54	Salesman	Well, that was suppose to be a simple prank, but he may of broken his neck
19:55		Salesman turns Wishingwell's helmet back to normal
19:55	GregClaskovic	I think that will not help the broken neck.
19:56	Salesman	Hrmm, help me get the helmet off, I'll give him a healing potion
19:57		GregClaskovic touches WishingWell's helmet, the metal turns into a liquid-like substance, retreating to my finger.
19:58	Salesman	Oooh, you already can control metal, that'll shorten the teaching time, but he'll want that back
19:59	GregClaskovic	I can give it back to him, but it won't be of the same pattern or shape. I have to really know of the object in order to put it back of normal state.
19:59	Salesman	I'm sure he has extra
20:00		Salesman pours the red liquid down WishingWell's throat, loud snapping is heard as his neck heals
20:02	GregClaskovic	So, do I need that funny circle shape on my back to be good at the alchemy?
20:03	Salesman	transmutation circle? no, unless you want to draw it on the ground every time you desire to use alchemy
20:04	GregClaskovic	I can do that funny transmutation shape without needing of any pencil to draw it, you know. All I need to be do is be able to fully remember the magic shape.
20:05	Salesman	Oh? well I have a poster of it back at the shop so you wont need to look at my back all dya
20:06	GregClaskovic	That is good. It will take some time to do. Making hard patterns takes time for Greg.
20:08		Salesman fixes the table and places Wishingwell back onto it, neck not broken and well alive, but still hung over
20:10	GregClaskovic	So, the image, If I make this on my back, I will gain alchemy power?
20:12	Salesman	Kinda, it takes immense focus and training, having to get the right element, getting use to the sudden blood loss, knowing the rules
20:13	Salesman	But thats with all magic, years of training, for what you want to do, it won't take that long, anything to metal correct
20:13	GregClaskovic	Yes, All I want is to have the power of controlling metal better.
20:14	GregClaskovic	Although the Magic sound's good.
20:16	Salesman	Only magic I know of is Alchemy, but I do sell various magic objects in my store, and you get a discount
20:17		WishingWell just can't anymore
20:17	GregClaskovic	So, will we get the image of the transmorphic thing of magic?
20:17	Salesman	Oh good the potion worked, I promise never to pull pranks on you again Wishingwell
20:18	Salesman	And yes I have it back at home
20:18	GregClaskovic	So then, will we go and get it?
20:18	Salesman	Sure, I can show you around Neon
20:18	WishingWell	"Motherfucking gypsy...."
20:19	Salesman	Alchemist
20:19	Salesman	if your going to insult me do it right
20:21		GregClaskovic gets off the chair, drips the metal absorbed from WishingWell's helmet into a liquid puddle next to him. "I think you will be of needing this back."
20:22	WishingWell	..."No....this can't be....."
20:22		Salesman places a free discount card next to the puddle
20:23		WishingWell leaves the bar, it's code red dawn. They're teaching the commies magic. And he isn't having any of that, not in his America.
20:25	GregClaskovic	So, will we go now? I'm getting more needful for this magic exchange.
20:26	Salesman	Sure, lets go now!
GregClaskovic	Right, so will we get on with this ritual for magic?
20:31	Salesman	At my house, follow me
20:31	GregClaskovic	I am worried for the Coin man, He wasn't very friendly when we revived him.
20:41	Salesman	[sorry for taking a bit, had to take out trash]
20:41	GregClaskovic	['ight.]
20:42	Salesman	Wells? Yeah he can be a bit...weird, at times, I'm sure he won't do any harm, he doesn't even know where house is
20:42	Salesman	where my house is*
20:43	Salesman	[damn  it your accent is rubbing off]
20:43	GregClaskovic	[cyka, it is the russian pride]
20:43	GregClaskovic	It occured to me that he is of not appreciative of me giving him back his metal helmet.
20:44	Salesman	Well if someone turned my hat to liquid I would be a bit mad as well, but if I had tons more, it wouldn't be as bad
20:45	GregClaskovic	I understand. A lot of people did not like it when I turned their guns into mushy substance. Are we almost to your house yet?
20:49		Salesman points to a small two story store, 'Trash To Treasure' is a sign on top
20:49	Salesman	here we are
20:50	GregClaskovic	Very roomy. Reminds me of my old cabin back in Stalingrad.
20:53	Salesman	-as they approach the store, a giant stands up from behind the store, revealing itself as a 20ft brick golem, looking right at Greg-
20:54	GregClaskovic	Is the golem of a threat?
20:54	Salesman	Oh nonono, Greg, meet my main guard, Brick-house
20:55	Salesman	He makes sure no one robes my store when I'm out
20:55	GregClaskovic	It is not looking very strong, to be of honesty. Couldn't you make him out of metal?
20:56		*** WishingWell quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.91.1 [Firefox 35.0/20150108202552])
20:56	Salesman	Its more of a camouflage reason
20:56		Salesman enters the store
20:57		GregClaskovic follows Salesman in, looking around the store at certain things.
20:59	Salesman	-The store looks like any old gas station, except with magical items, such as runes, books, wands, and some sort of giant eye in a jar looking at everything with its three pupils, behind the main desk it suddenly looks like a pawn shop-
20:59	GregClaskovic	So, this is where I will be of working from now on?
21:01	Salesman	Yep, mainly behind the counter, if Brick-House ever gets destroyed, I can move you to main guard, a lot of people want whats in here
21:02	GregClaskovic	So, where is the poster, then?
21:03		Salesman wonders why he is so dedicated to getting the poster, but ignores it as simple wanting to learn
21:04		Salesman moves a few shirts hanged up behind the counter, opening a door behind them. "up here to my house"
21:04	GregClaskovic	It is probably of understanding that If I move into here, there will be people looking for me. I have no good reputation from both my country and international relations.
21:05	Salesman	Of course, I'll add a extension. -whistles-
21:06	Salesman	-around 15 golems of different sizes enter the store, walking into the door, which only leads to a stair case-
21:07	GregClaskovic	You have more Golems? I thought brick-house would of been your only defender of the house.
21:08		Salesman shuts the door, opening it back up a few minutes later, revealing a brand new door inside next to the stares
21:08	Salesman	The golems were usually just for cleaning, picking up orders, or being material for making a new room
21:09	GregClaskovic	You kill the Golems for material?
21:09	Salesman	Well, its killing like remolding clay
21:11	Salesman	Golems are just made for following orders, its all they know, legend has it when a man tried to give a golem a soul..didn't end well
21:13	GregClaskovic	So I haven't really took to undertstand the full potential of the magic alchemy power. I know I need of aspect of myself, but it is not of great detail.
21:15	Salesman	alchemy can be very powerful, creating golems made of water, fire, lightning, jumping into lava that turns to water, no harm done to the person, turning a entire mountain to a single golem. skilled I may seem, I'm nothing compared to the Alchemists of legend
21:16	GregClaskovic	Alchemists of Legend? Are they of similarities of Lenin and Stalin?
21:19	Salesman	I...wouldn't know, kinda failed world history when I was younger, spent all my time trying to perfect my first golem
21:21	GregClaskovic	Alright, so if I were to perfect this magic, I would also be able to create golems?
21:21		Salesman leads him to a medium sized room, a table and chairs over to the side, and a soft bed in the back middle, with a large transmutation circle imprinted on the wall adjacent to it
21:22	Salesman	I left a lot of room for you to customize, give me a bit to find a good tv though
21:22	Salesman	And a fridge
21:23	GregClaskovic	I don't need food, I've spent 6 months in the cold siberia of the motherland. But TV is good.
21:24		GregClaskovic sits looks at the transmutation circle on the wall, as he focuses on it, a small line appears on his back, going at a circular angle.
21:27		Salesman grabs a broom, placing it inside "Just hit the ceiling with it when your done, or want more Alchemy info"
21:27		GregClaskovic finishes the circle, then proceeds to the shape within the circle. Greg has to focus more, the sharp angles are hard to create for him.
21:30		GregClaskovic is done creating the most of the shapes within the circle. Trys to focus on finishing it off. All that is left is the three symbols within the middle.
21:31	GregClaskovic	... I think I'm done. Is it right? I do not know if I have done it right.
21:33		Salesman compares the two."Yep, pretty perfect"
21:36	Salesman	Now, before we start on Alchemy, I want to go over store rules
21:37	GregClaskovic	What type of rules are we of talking here?
21:41	Salesman	all party, sexually activity, drinking, eating, smoking, killing, are to be keep in here and out of store view, You don't need to wear a shirt because your muscles are defiantly going to bring in more customers, and no stealing from the store
21:42	Salesman	Work hours are 7 am to 3 pm
21:42	Salesman	Any magic practices must be viewed by me until I feel you are ready
21:43	GregClaskovic	I have no need of stealing things. I have one request. I understand that I cannot preform alchemy on living things, but can I of turn say, metal, into normal skin?
21:45	Salesman	Hmmm, alchemy on living things is possible, but banned, however, I do see why you would want such a request, it may take some time, but, yes, I do think it will be possible
21:46	GregClaskovic	So, I could of turn myself back to normal then with the alchemy magic?
21:48	Salesman	Yes, but I'm not sure if your healing factor, metal control, any powers besides the alchemy would stay
21:50	GregClaskovic	I know the powers will stay with me as long as I keep some of metal with me. I'll keep the transmutation shape on my back along with the metal, if I can.
21:54	Salesman	That would be dangerous, having a body part being such different, and a constant sin if you use it to switch back and forth
21:55	GregClaskovic	So I cannot ever go back to normal to the point where I look normal?
22:00	Salesman	Quiet the chose, go on with powers, or lose it all to be normal
22:02	GregClaskovic	I don't know anymore. I know if I remove my metal powers, I will be allowed back to motherlands. I won't be followed anymore by my own people.
22:04		GregClaskovic sits down on the chair. Elbows balanced on his knees, hands up holding his face. "Черт".
22:06		Salesman places hand on Gregs shoulder. "I promise, once you master the magic of Alchemy, I'll change you back to normal, better to have some power then non"
22:08	GregClaskovic	No, We can think of this out. Maybe if we could use the alchemy power to control the metal powers... If I could find a way to control the metal powers fully.
22:08	Salesman	What do you mean?
22:10	GregClaskovic	If I can mold and make the metal squishy substance, then there is more than just having metal skin, or being very strong. I think I can control it, but I don't know how.
22:13	Salesman	Make the metal skin like?
22:13	Salesman	Make the metal, skin like?
22:14	GregClaskovic	Maybe. I thought that with your powers, it would be easy to turn back into normal than into metal. Seems more hard now with the choice, but I do believe of a way to think around it.
18:23	GregClaskovic	I think we can do this, it is of possibilities. What about those legendary alchemist men? What have you studied of them?
18:31	Salesman	Thats just the thing, legends may or may not be true. Transforming you back to normal is one thing, but somehow letting you keep your powers...I'm just not sure
18:32	GregClaskovic	We're going have to take the chance. I am never not patient when it comes up to things like these. It's it's a chance, I'm going to be taking the chance.
18:39	Salesman	Alright, I'll try, how much do you weigh?
18:40	Salesman	I need to know for the blood loss amount
18:40	GregClaskovic	I weigh just over 2 tons. How will this be of working?
18:45	Salesman	We'll start small, give me your arm
18:47		GregClaskovic touches his left arm, the metal from the arm slowly circulates into a blob floating slightly over my finger. "This will do, yeah?" The metal solidifies back into the shape of my right arm.
18:48	Salesman	I'm guessing you made it skin think?
18:48	Salesman	thick*
18:48	GregClaskovic	Yeah. Will it do, or do I need more?
18:49	Salesman	No no, it will do fine
18:49		Salesman places a hand above and below Gregs arm
18:50		Salesman focuses and....nothing happens
18:50	GregClaskovic	Was it not enough?
18:51	Salesman	No,no, greg, is it just your skin that is metal?
18:52	GregClaskovic	No. I am of certainty that my body is made of metal. The more I used it back in Russia, the more my body became metal.
18:53	Salesman	Greg, I'm sorry but, I, I'm not sure I can do this, skin is one thing, but, organs, blood...I'm sorry
18:53	GregClaskovic	So there is no chance?
18:56	Salesman	Maybe, what exactly happened to make you like this?
18:58	GregClaskovic	I was a test experiment. I was taken from my squad to do some man weapon experiment, to see if they could make a soldier capable of fighting the nuclear war, but what they of found was more important to them than the experiment, I was a infinite source of metal to them. They strapped me up and put me into a thermalnuclear furnace. Things didn't go well.
19:03	Salesman	Hmm, Magic may not help you, tel you what, Xenon has a science department that maybe able to, we'll visit them first thing tomorrow
19:04		Salesman gets up, but a dark thought came across his mind
19:04	Salesman	Greg, do you know how many people were experimented on?
19:05	GregClaskovic	My father, me, and some other man, they tried to give my Father the ability to be able to phase through bullets, and the other man... that is another story.
19:05	GregClaskovic	Why?
19:08	Salesman	Well, infinite metal is one hell of a resource, and whose to say they didn't make more men or women like this, if they come to find you, Neon could be in some very big danger
19:10	GregClaskovic	It has occurred to me that they will come here. I've went to every place on earth, running. They've always been on my trail, but if we're lucky, they won't check Neon city.
19:13	Salesman	Lets hope your right
19:14	GregClaskovic	I know where my father lives. In Poland, I assume he settled down there. It could be of possibility that we could go there.
19:18	Salesman	I have friends here in Neon, and I'm sure Xenon can defend it, still...
19:18	GregClaskovic	You need someone to protect the shop.
19:21	Salesman	We'll think about this tomorrow, remember, work starts at 7
19:22	Salesman	And, sorry again I wasn't able to help
19:24	GregClaskovic	It is alright. I'll try to get in touch with my father, but for now, I think it will be of necessity to have get going with the job, yes?
19:28	Salesman	Work doesn't start till 7 am, and its night out, so, get some rest, or go out drinking, your choice
19:31	GregClaskovic	Ladno. I'll try to catch up on some sleep. Goodnight, Salesman.
19:37	Salesman	Goodnight Greg
