  1. Down in the lab, a new, quick project was at hand. A slight distraction from the endless work the doctor had been submitting herself into, and quite the perilous one at that too. Today, a pair of severed ears and a tail were set onto the laboratory's main table, both sets placed in plastic bags. They were cleaned, as if taxidermized. But upon further inspection, there was one thing quick prevailent about the parts.
  2.  
  3. They were awfully depraved. Awful whispers whisping around the ears of those who dared to venture near them.
  4.  
  5. Charlie appeared completely unbothered by them, and would eventually press on the rune set onto the bags. They were activated, and suddenly, bother the miasma of depravity and the whispers were vanquished. They were not actually gone, just locked in. Phoebe would recognize the seal as one of the basic runes found in her unique tome.
  6.  
  7. "So, we're turning these into ... A new, black, fashionable beret!"
  8.  
  9. The doctor exclaimed, a little too excited over a plain hat. Of course, it held a lot more than just a nice look. The power it contained, of both Ookami and Plague remains, it'd make quite the material to enhance one's capabilities.
  10. (Charlie Avaline)
  11. "Wow. . Black?" Phoebe asked, placing a palm over her mouth for the most part, but not really minding it at all. For the most part, she would take out a small red text book, slowly reading through the contents and such, almost like she was studying over something. For a moment, it took her just a few moments to try and gather information on a specific rune. There were blank sheets of paper inside of the book, writing down notes of the rune, effects about it and what can be done if deactivated under certain mechanics.
  12.  
  13. But other than that, she wouldn't dread too long over the prospect of doing the rune at the moment. Right now, all she had to do was fix up a beret, so she didn't really know what she was going to do to incorporate a beret into the mix. Placing the book in a safe spot on her person, the young blonde kept tabs on a few things that were going to be needed.
  14.  
  15. "Alrighty.~ So, a beret right?" She would've motioned around the fact about the secret portion before, since she did not want to give the real reason about anything.
  16.  
  17. "So, what do I need to do, mom?" Phoebe asked, arching a brow out of curiousity as she would look around for more blank sheets of paper that were around, "Rather, how did you make your first green one, mom?" That was a question she should've asked before, thinking about what kind of runes to place on the new 'creation'.
  18. (Phoebe Avaline)
  19. She would follow without question as she would prepare some sort of tanning solution to the fur, though perhaps not completely prepared it did make her slightly sick as she knew what the pelts were from as her mother was to wear something that used to be part of someone, but they were gone now.
  20.  
  21. She had a bit of ambergris left that she hasn't used for a while so she would find a good use expanding the length of a normally short reaction acid to help cure the fur. She knew a little bit about it as she would tilt her head in the end.
  22.  
  23. A beret? That seems very neat I guess." She wasn't sure if such a thing was needed at the moment but it was supposed to be quite useful if alchemy and rune writing was in order to normal skills of clothes making.
  24. (Ella Avaline)
  25. "M'hm. Though, I didn't make this one here."
  26.  
  27. She'd point at her trademark green beret. A giggle followed, with a silent pause as the doctor seemed to ponder a few things.
  28.  
  29. "Well, Ella had the good idea of starting the tanning solution. What we'll want is to boil these a bit, but just enough so that the fur doesn't fall off. We'll also reduce the hairs a bit, and then dye the leather we're producing black like the fur!"
  30.  
  31. Charlie nodded toward Ella, as this was her specialty, to manipulate chemicals and reagants to produce a desired outcome. Phoebe would have to sit this one out, and instead assist Ella in her progress. The doctor herself would commence by taking out a pair of scissors and a few other tools such as cotton filaments and a small knitting needle.
  32.  
  33. "Phee, you will help Ella for now. The runes will come later! At the very end, I'll knit it carefully to produce an adequate shape~"
  34. (Charlie Avaline)
  35. Phoebe blinked a few times, almost out of mild curiousity or interest. In regards to the beret she always saw her mother take good care of it for some reason. Hmm. . Maybe it wasn't a good idea to ask about the significance behnd it, but she did like it for a moment.
  36.  
  37. "Really now?" Phoebe would ask, practically in pure thought, for she didn't really know much about what they were gonna do alchemy wise. . Hmm .Phoebe prodded her cheek for a moment, before looking back over towards Ella with a bit of a blank stare on her facial expression, "So. . . " Phoebe mumbled under her lips, almost a bit dumbfounded as she was ignorant to this whole process here on making the hat.
  38.  
  39. "What would I need to do sis?" Yup, just out with it. She was not going to try to go in as blind as a bat. That wasn't really her style anyway. . . But it was a good idea to do. . If you. . . like to blow yourself up, I mean, hey she doesn't judge a lot okay?!
  40. (Phoebe Avaline)
  41. She was as dumbfounded as her sister was for her to help her with this... she was chosen for the alchemy trip to the sanctuary after all... But that was because Ella didn't want to go or so she thought.but it seems she was to help as she would fill up a tob with the slightly caustic mixture.
  42.  
  43. "Well.... I guess get some gloves and then take the pelts, put them in the tub and slowly heat up the liquid in it... Not to fast or you can singe the hair on the pelts; do it for about ten minutes then take the pelts out and then you will need to stretch, pull, and twist the pelts since they will be stiff.."
  44.  
  45. "The skin will be odd looking but you won't see it under the fur and the fur will be really soft." Why did Ella know about tanning? Well....... reasons of course, she did have her own special hat after all.
  46.  
  47. Her father was a "Tanner" afterall.
  48. (Ella Avaline)
  49. Hands clasped together, the doctor nodded in satisfaction to see her daughters work together on this project. In the meantime, Charlie extracted both items from their plastic containers and set them nicely for the two work with. The depravity was back, and they could definitely hear the whispers again, as they were no longer filtered by the rune.
  50.  
  51. "Oh and, don't mind the weirdness that comes with it, it'll be dealt with soon after the little chemical bath."
  52.  
  53. Ella knew exactly what she was doing, and as such the Avaline matriarch didn't really have anything else to add really. Of course, she'd be there in case of an emergency or the need of another pair of hands.
  54.  
  55. In the meantime, however, Charlie permitted herself to go and pick up the Runic Tome sealed in the big safe she kept all big valuables in. With a few locks being decoded, Charlie went on to extract the Opacare's collection of advanced runes and rituals.
  56.  
  57. "We'll be using a lot of this in the near future, Phee. Hope you're okay with that."
  58. (Charlie Avaline)
  59. Ella would have probably triggered Phoebe because she would have had to agree with Ella. Then again, at the same time she never truly said that she was good in Alchemy. She just said she practiced some of it. It was even on her resume, that it was her practicing the art, not her having a lot of experience in it! The fact that they had placed her under as the team's alchemist when the most she did during that whole ordeal was use runewriting to get the team out of most of the hairy stuff that wasn't fighting was something that made her cringed.
  60.  
  61. A deep exasperated sigh had occured as she was just thinking of how awkward that time was. Why? Well, the fact that even putting that on her resume for the task of going there. . Ugh!
  62.  
  63. "R. . Right, right. Of course." Phoebe grabbed onto some of the gloves that she had, preferrably rubber gloves to start off. Grabbing onto the pelts and motioning for one of the deep tubs, "So heat it up for ten minutes. That seems a bit simple." Phoebe said, almost in a innocent tone before dumping the contents into the tub of sorts, pushing them in before she would begin to set her hands in the tub.
  64.  
  65. Funneling some mana into the water as flames would begin to lightly spew out. Luckily the water was killing the flames, but it did help when it came to heating up the water to a good amount of degrees.
  66.  
  67. "Erm. . I'm fine with it. Just. . Don't rip pages out.~ You could copy what's in there though." She assumed that's what her mother was doing anyway. Phoebe didn't like to see the book ripped. . . It was. . all so fragile to her.
  68. (Phoebe Avaline)
  69. Ella while her sister would be doing that would be preparing something nice, something soothing instead of the caustic nature... Softeners! Another tub this time made with sweet smelling soaps and a bit what looked like a dry powder which helped act as a cleaning agent, in the end it was supposed to impart a silky finish to the furs and a nice clean scent. Her goal was to make people wonder if Kiljanjo was part mink!
  70.  
  71. Watching her sister she was doing thing right, she wasn't even mixing the pelts around which helped let the mixture soak into it so her sister was doing dandy; but hopefully when Ella was down with her mixture she would have Phoebe lift the furs off and Ella would take them, stretching them out across a nearby chair, it was quite violent; Pulling the chair with her foot against it with some exasperated grunts and sounds as they moved from stiff boards to flexible pelts, her efforts was to keep the fur outwards on not to damage it as she would move to the softener vat.
  72.  
  73. Whistling lightly she would look towards her mother. "Mom... I think I want to create my own weapon soon but I don't know how...." She knew alchemy not really enchanting and blacksmithing as her mother,sister,and Ophrems thought that was created by a devilishly crafty Neries had their own weapons....
  74.  
  75. Standing up with the pelts all silky and shiny she would place the pelts in front of her mother drying them off with a little bit of heat herself. "Ima... go write down some ideas for my own weapon... and perhaps nap down here after.. love you~" A kiss imparted on the cheeks of both family members.
  76. (Ella Avaline)
  77. And they were off to prepare the skin and fur of the ears and tail. Good thing they were mostly taxidermized, leaving nothing too organic inside the parts they were processing. Charlie mostly observed, as it was the time for her children to shine and present their capabitlities a little bit. Ella had indeed proved to be quite the alchemist and chemist, even if this was but basic procedure. The doctor was excited to see what big project she'd have under way, especially after that blood one.
  78.  
  79. However, a peculiar subject came to be.
  80.  
  81. "A weapon?"
  82.  
  83. The woman inquired, unsure what to make of this sudden crave for a tool. Like Phoebe, Ella wanted her personal weapon, and the family definitely had the resources to do so. A couple of nods was thrown her way as the Avaline made sense of it and the possbilities. She'd then smile at the younger Avaline, as she expressed a proactive initiative to write down the ideas.
  84.  
  85. "Alright sweetie. Thanks for the good work! Now, we're going to work on the runes. Make sure to pass me your notes when you've finished them. Maybe I'll have a little something that'll give your dream weapon an edge!"
  86.  
  87. A little wave was thrown Ella's way, and now she'd focus on Phoebe with the fried up, dyed ears and tail were presented on the table and left to dry.
  88.  
  89. "Now ... We're going to work on sealing up all this depravity and filtering the mana flowing in it so it can provide power at its maximum potential. Think you can do that?"
  90.  
  91. The doctor inquired to the blonde, Opacare Runic Tome sliding her way.
  92. (Charlie Avaline)
