waifu brigade surprises

Apr 10 23:12:48 <Shawyun_Sariri>	Okay! So
Apr 10 23:13:04 <Shawyun_Sariri>	Saryx knows Anna Myres knows a bit of Alchemy and Chase knows where there office was
Apr 10 23:13:23 <Shawyun_Sariri>	so after resting up a bit the two of you head off to the Arena District!
Apr 10 23:15:55 <Shawyun_Sariri>	Their office is fairly easy to locate.  Seems a lot less busy than it was when Chase came on the weekend...no crowds out front of it or anything.
Apr 10 23:16:03 <Chase>	"Alchemy, huh... this should be a bit of a treat. I've been curious about that... I just hope the Regalia are available. One of them was out front the other day and looked a bit swamped by fans."
Apr 10 23:17:31 »»	Chase approaches the door and knocks when they reach the office building.
Apr 10 23:18:26 <Shawyun_Sariri>	There isn't really an answer.  It's a glass door into a small reception area.
Apr 10 23:19:07 <Shawyun_Sariri>	There's a slight jingle though.  You notice a blond girl with her head down on a reception desk inside.  You think she might be napping.
Apr 10 23:19:18 <Chase>	Ohh, whoops. He glances over at Saryx. "You ready?"
Apr 10 23:20:11 <Saryx>	"Yup~" Saryx chimes, a bit of a spring in his step. ... Well, as much of a spring as he can get while tugging his fuckhuge cooler around. "I'm real curious about it myself, too, Chase! 'cause like Razor said, if you can make all kinds of neat stuff with alchemy alone, just think what happens if you mix it with good quality craftsmanship~" He tries to get his stupid eight-year-old-loudness
Apr 10 23:20:12 <Saryx>	out of the way before they get to the door. "And sure am, Chase!"
Apr 10 23:20:44 »»	Chase pushes his way in, then, approaching the blonde woman. Same chick he saw signing autographs?
Apr 10 23:21:14 <Shawyun_Sariri>	Yup, same girl.  A bell jingles but she doesn't really stir.
Apr 10 23:24:15 <Saryx>	Saryx follows in afterwards, as well. He takes note of the sleeping girl. "... Should we wake her, Chase? Or try and see if we can't find someone else first?"
Apr 10 23:24:18 <Chase>	"'scuse me? Miss?" he just can't help but find this a little funny, he approaches the desk and knocks on it a bit.
Apr 10 23:24:51 »»	Chase shakes his head at Saryx. "Nah, I'm sure it's fine."
Apr 10 23:25:48 <Saryx>	"... I guess that works, also..." he says, a bit quiet (as was the last thing he said) out of respect for Sleeping Beauty over there.
Apr 10 23:27:01 <Chase>	(Dammit I was going to make that reference)
Apr 10 23:27:12 <Chase>	(;-;)
Apr 10 23:27:16 <Chase>	(In a more subtle way)
Apr 10 23:27:42 <Saryx>	(Dude, you can't just go kissing girls awake!)
Apr 10 23:27:46 <Shawyun_Sariri>	She slowly stirs, lifting her head a little...
Apr 10 23:29:55 <Shawyun_Sariri>	Then notices the two of you, and sorta flips out with an eep as she bolts to her feet.  Snowflakes flutter around the room.  She laughs and reddens from embarassment.  "Uhm.  I'm so sorry!  Were you waiting long? Uhm.  Welcome to the Office of the Elemental Regalia.  I'm Anna Myres!  But...you probably know that...uhm..."
Apr 10 23:30:21 <Shawyun_Sariri>	"...how can we assist you two?" http://imgflip.com/i/1270e
Apr 10 23:30:25 <Chase>	"Good morning. You prick your finger on a sewing wheel or just have a rough day?" he's all smiles, and then... something clicks.
Apr 10 23:31:17 <Chase>	*spinning wheel
Apr 10 23:31:57 <Chase>	"Myres... oh wait, you're one of Kent's daughters? I actually -didn't- realize that... "
Apr 10 23:32:48 <Chase>	"Oh, uh, anyway, it's my friend here that had business, but it's always nice to come see our fellow explorers. I'm Chase, by the way. Chase Violet, from the Zodiac Braves. We're new in town."
Apr 10 23:33:21 <Shawyun_Sariri>	She just seems further embarassed by your joke, as she obviously gets the refrence, and shuffles a bit till you mention Kent.
Apr 10 23:33:45 <Shawyun_Sariri>	"You know my father? Oh. Wait.  Of course you do. Uhm..."
Apr 10 23:34:45 <Shawyun_Sariri>	"Oh!  You're also Explorers!" She sighs with relief and laxes up.
Apr 10 23:35:02 <Chase>	"Do I know him?" he laughs. "He's crashed my band's gigs so many times..."
Apr 10 23:35:14 <Shawyun_Sariri>	"Sorry...thought you were fans.  The whole autograph thing is still weird to me...."
Apr 10 23:35:22 <Chase>	"Guy is kind of a personal hero to me."
Apr 10 23:35:54 <Chase>	"Yeah... I actually walked by the other day on my way somewhere else, saw you handling the crowd. Looks like a tough job.."
Apr 10 23:36:23 <Shawyun_Sariri>	She tilts her head. "Oooooooh.  So you're friends with him?" :O
Apr 10 23:36:41 <Shawyun_Sariri>	"Come to think of it he mentions he's always trying to hang out with younger people..."
Apr 10 23:37:39 <Chase>	"Yeah, actually...  It was talking to him about a situation I got into that convinced me to become an Explorer, too.."
Apr 10 23:39:02 <Shawyun_Sariri>	She seems thunderstruck.
Apr 10 23:39:08 <Shawyun_Sariri>	"Wooooow.  Daddy's a role model..."
Apr 10 23:39:09 <Chase>	"He mentioned y'all too, about how proud he was and how y'all liked the sport of it all. Hell, I can get why y'all're popular."
Apr 10 23:40:10 <Chase>	"Anyway, Saryx! Introduce yourself, man, no need to get all tongue-tied." he slaps Saryx on the arm.
Apr 10 23:40:37 »»	Shawyun_Sariri is now known as Anna_Myres
Apr 10 23:41:35 <Anna_Myres>	She blushes a bit again. "Thanks...it's still sort of weird, I guess."
Apr 10 23:42:30 <Saryx>	Anna's outburst had gotten Saryx to jump back a little in shock. ... Though that soon gave way to awe, eliciting an "Oh, wow!" from him as he reached out to catch a snowflake within his palm. Maaan, it's been a while since he's been exposed to any snow. He totally just staaared at the snowflake as it melts in hand until Chase whaps him. "Ohh... Oww, sorry..." Was good enough to
Apr 10 23:42:30 <Saryx>	snap him back to reality, at least, attention returning to the girl before him. "Saryx Sylvestine here! 's real nice to meet you, Anna!"
Apr 10 23:43:42 <Anna_Myres>	"Uhm, hello!"
Apr 10 23:44:13 <Anna_Myres>	She looks at the snow quickly, then back to you two.  "Sorry.  That, well, when I get surprised like that. Hehehe..."
Apr 10 23:46:00 »»	Chase laughs. "That's actually adorable. You don't gotta apologize."
Apr 10 23:47:30 <Saryx>	"What are you apologizing for? That's amazing, Anna! ... I mean, yeah, it was kiiinda completely out of the blue, but..." If there's enough snow he totally stops to make a snowball out of it. "Well, it reminds me a whole lot of home, the snow. So I'd say my day's made here~"
Apr 10 23:48:28 <Chase>	"Anyway uh, you wanted to ask her something, right Saryx?"
Apr 10 23:48:52 <Anna_Myres>	She seems a bit confused why it would remind you of home, then sorta has an 'oh' moment as she remembers Shiverwing
Apr 10 23:53:50 <Saryx>	"... Right! Maaan, I'm out of it now. I think the snow might have turned my brain to slush..." He flips his snowball around in hand a moment. "Anyways, Anna, I'm a blacksmith. I've been learning how to make all sorts of neat things, and trying to work with all sorts of new things! And when I started looking into alchemy, the General told me to keep an eye out for you!"
Apr 10 23:54:26 <Anna_Myres>	She nods with a smile.
Apr 10 23:54:29 <Anna_Myres>	Roll intuition
Apr 10 23:54:45 <Saryx>	3d6
Apr 10 23:54:45 <DiceMaid-9001>	Saryx, 3d6: 8 [3d6=4,1,3]
Apr 10 23:55:34 <Anna_Myres>	"Well...then would you follow me then? Isn't much room to...work here."
Apr 10 23:56:28 <Anna_Myres>	That was for you as well, Chase :P
Apr 10 23:56:43 <Anna_Myres>	She waves you back behind the desk to a door behind her.
Apr 10 23:57:14 <Chase>	Oh, whoops
Apr 10 23:57:18 <Chase>	4d6+2
Apr 10 23:57:18 <DiceMaid-9001>	Chase, 4d6+2: 14 [4d6=2,4,4,2]
Apr 10 23:58:22 »»	Saryx waits for Anna to make her way through the door before giving Chase a look. A look of 'Oh Bondye did I hear that right?!?'
Apr 10 23:59:08 <Saryx>	... Kain, I... Think maybe this might need a LMHYWT if you failed.
Apr 10 23:59:19 »»	Chase goes to follow along, too. He looks at Saryx and squints, shaking his head.
Apr 11 00:01:17 <Saryx>	Deep breath, Saryx. He shakes his own head, though more of a 'snap out of it Saryx' shaking, and gets his head straight before following along, cooler in tow.
Apr 11 00:01:18 <Chase>	<I actually think she's nervous as hell, Saryx. Try not to pressure her too much or anything. And I'm -pretty sure- only you can hear this, so don't say anything.>
Apr 11 00:01:56 <Anna_Myres>	Back here it's a small living area, tv and leather couches and chairs, a staircase upstairs...
Apr 11 00:02:33 <Anna_Myres>	She walks over to a funny shaped table in the corner and starts tugging on it, hnnnnggggh, dragging it over near the chairs. "I'm...guessing you want me to try to alchemize something, right?"
Apr 11 00:02:47 <Anna_Myres>	"Oh and feel free to sit down somewhere!"
Apr 11 00:03:19 »»	Chase sits on one of the couches, setting his hat in his lap and relaxing. "Thanks."
Apr 11 00:06:30 <Saryx>	Saryx gives a nod to Chase before he gets into the next room. "Yeah, Anna! If you don't mind any, that is... I'm real curious to see how the alchemy process works."
Apr 11 00:07:28 <Chase>	"You were wanting to try and learn it, right?" he asks Saryx.
Apr 11 00:07:39 <Anna_Myres>	The table is crescent shaped, has a few tools on it, chemistry set looking stuff, a tome like the one you purchased...
Apr 11 00:08:37 <Anna_Myres>	"Well...okay...uhm...basically I need three items, first something like an article of clothing or a weapon."
Apr 11 00:08:41 <Saryx>	He pops himself down on the couch, and pulls the cooler out in front of him. "I'd been collecting all sorts of stuff since we left Red Blade! Just... Gimme a moment here. ... And sorry if I make a mess here. It's kind of a disaster in this thing. I promise I'll clean it all out, though." He starts digging through his stuff. "And, well... I'd like to learn, but... I just don't
Apr 11 00:08:41 <Saryx>	have the aptitude for it quite yet..."
Apr 11 00:09:23 <Saryx>	"... And, well... I don't know if I ever will." He sadfaces, though it's not like Anna can see with the lid flipped over his face.
Apr 11 00:09:36 <Anna_Myres>	"Second something that can spark the process...and then honestly almost any other item would do."
Apr 11 00:09:40 <Anna_Myres>	Around this time...
Apr 11 00:10:07 <Anna_Myres>	A person slides down the railing from the second floor, a second girl, wearing a plaid skirt and a jacket of sorts.
Apr 11 00:10:48 <Anna_Myres>	She hops off at the bottom and wanders over, hovering over Saryx as he digs around. "Anna, are you doing what I think you're doing."
Apr 11 00:11:31 <Chase>	Uh-oh. That doesn't sound good. Chase starts to think the reason Anna is nervous is because she's bad at this.
Apr 11 00:12:00 <Anna_Myres>	Anna: "What? Uh. No, no.  Not at all!" she laughs awkwardly
Apr 11 00:12:16 <Anna_Myres>	???: "Cauuuuse last time this happened your sis got mad you got glitter everywhere.  We're still finding it!"
Apr 11 00:12:49 <Saryx>	"Hey, Chase! Do you think any of that stuff we'd found in the ruins might work for--Waaaaah?!?" He was in the midst of pulling out the scepter from the Stag Lords' ruins when the sudden noise startles Saryx! He jumps back, arms a'flailing. This can only end in tears.
Apr 11 00:13:00 <Chase>	"Oh... who's this?" he asks, trying to change the subject for anna.
Apr 11 00:13:00 <Anna_Myres>	She looks over to Chase and Saryx and grins.  Then a bit of lightning jolts around her as she seems to short circuit for a second.  "Oooooh who are these two cute guys you got here?"
Apr 11 00:13:04 <Anna_Myres>	http://imgflip.com/i/1275v
Apr 11 00:13:57 <Chase>	He grins. "Whassup? The name's Chase Violet. We're from a new explorer team visiting the town. Zodiac Braves?"
Apr 11 00:15:27 <Anna_Myres>	She hops over the couch and into your lap, Chase!  "I'm Garcia de la Bruja~"
Apr 11 00:16:33 <Anna_Myres>	Anna seems a bit exasperated at all this commotion. "Look. Just.  Don't mention it to her and she'll never know.  The glitter was an accident."
Apr 11 00:17:19 <Saryx>	"You... You scared me something real bad there!" Saryx clutches onto the ancient rod, a bit defensively even. ... And then just watches her throw herself into Chase's lap. Whelp. Attention returning to Anna. "... Glitter... Accident?"
Apr 11 00:17:26 <Saryx>	He's half scared and half curious.
Apr 11 00:17:56 <Chase>	"Whoa, forward. Pretty cute, too." he laughs. "I get the feeling getting to know y'all will be interesting."
Apr 11 00:18:45 <Chase>	"Anyway, I'm sure whatever happened wasn't -that- big a deal." he says, making no moves to scoot the witch out of his lap.
Apr 11 00:19:59 <Anna_Myres>	Garcia grins wider at Saryx's reaction to things, leans forward and wraps arms around his shoulders and chest, resting her head next to his.  "She was trying to make a costume have an extra special finish.  Instead she ended up painting the room!"
Apr 11 00:20:05 <Anna_Myres>	Come to think of it the walls do have funny colors in here.
Apr 11 00:20:38 <Anna_Myres>	One's dark blue, one's dark red, one's dark green, the other is...really fucking purple.
Apr 11 00:22:07 <Anna_Myres>	Anna: "...Okay.  I'll admit, I'm not very good at this :<.  My teacher says I need to practice more to get it right."
Apr 11 00:22:09 <Chase>	"So she gave the place a little extra style."
Apr 11 00:22:12 »»	Chase shrugs.
Apr 11 00:22:50 <Chase>	"You shouldn't let fear hold you back. You need to practice? Well, this is a pretty good opportunity!"
Apr 11 00:24:56 <Saryx>	Saryx' face has to go at least three shades of red as Garcia throws herself at him. He bites his lip, trying so hard not to just have one of his trademark outbursts of loudness. "... Well..." Discomfort's written all over his face. "... He's right... You're not going to get any better leaving that thing to gather dust in the corner."
Apr 11 00:25:10 <Chase>	"No one ever starts perfect, lemme tell ya that. I'm a musician, right? I play guitar. It took a while. Years of practice to be able to actually get in front of people and play for money. And in the end every second of it was worth it."
Apr 11 00:25:35 <Chase>	"...granted this involves about a hundred percent more crazy magic than guitar, but the same principle applies."
Apr 11 00:27:22 <Anna_Myres>	Garcia leans off Saryx to let him fish around some more and sits up straight in Chase's lap again.  "Welllll I suppose they got a point.  Practice -does- make perfect."
Apr 11 00:27:45 <Anna_Myres>	She then looks Chase in the eyes. "You play an instrument too? Are you guys like an Exploring mariachi band?"
Apr 11 00:28:36 <Anna_Myres>	Anna just sighs, looking down at Saryx. "I can't really promise it'll be anything useful...so...let's see what we have here that would be the least expensive, alright?"
Apr 11 00:28:41 <Chase>	"Mariachi? Naah, I had to leave my band. There's a girl in our team that has a thing for mariachis, though. Castanets and everything."
Apr 11 00:28:46 <Saryx>	"... Thank you..." He buries his head in the cooler this time as he digs out all the rest of his stuff, taking his sweet time in there so hopefully his face will de-red enough by the time he's done in there.
Apr 11 00:29:14 <Chase>	"So whaddya mean, 'too'? You play?"
Apr 11 00:30:27 <Anna_Myres>	"Not exaaaact-" short circuit "-ly.  More like if you did both."
Apr 11 00:31:01 <Saryx>	So he digs through the cooler, and emerges with... He comes out with the battered buckler, the tattered cloak... He already pulled out his rod (Not the lewd one, to clarify)... Then several vials emerge. The one with the fire. The glowing mushroom. A black feather. And let's see, what else do I got in this inventory that might be useful?
Apr 11 00:31:19 <Anna_Myres>	Garcia: "Oooooh.  She's smart. Salsa's fun to shake your ass to~"
Apr 11 00:31:53 <Saryx>	Let's toss down the chunk of silver and the other rock, too, while we're at it!
Apr 11 00:32:24 <Anna_Myres>	Are you out of soda?
Apr 11 00:32:33 <Saryx>	... Yes.
Apr 11 00:32:56 <Saryx>	I used it right before the fight that never happened :<
Apr 11 00:33:05 <Anna_Myres>	Anna: "Oooh you spent a good bit collecting these...I'll be right back." She hurries upstairs.
Apr 11 00:33:56 <Anna_Myres>	it's then you hear a jingle of a bell at the front door, step step step, the second door opens, in walks a slightly chubby girl in a baggy hoodie.
Apr 11 00:34:47 <Anna_Myres>	She looks over at Garcia and Chase, nearly dropping the shopping bag she has. ". . ." http://imgflip.com/i/127jn
Apr 11 00:35:29 <Chase>	"Word. She's gonna be learning some dance steps from me pretty soon. She wants to get up all in that, but she's still gotta way to go before she's the forerunner la flamenco.."
Apr 11 00:35:36 »»	Chase looks up.
Apr 11 00:36:28 <Chase>	"Hey, there. Miss...?"
Apr 11 00:36:36 <Saryx>	"Yeah! I'm surprised I was able to afford as much as I did!" Oh, right! The book, too! That goes out on the table as well. And Saryx looks up when he hears the jingling bells. "Hey there!" ... Thump go the bags. "Oh, I'll get that!" Saryx starts moving to help the girl scrounge up the mess.
Apr 11 00:36:41 <Saryx>	any resulting mess, rather**
Apr 11 00:36:44 <Anna_Myres>	???: ". . .Please not on the couch.  I've slept on that couch.  My face has been on that couch."
Apr 11 00:37:30 <Anna_Myres>	". . .Gigi."
Apr 11 00:37:37 <Saryx>	... And then Saryx just... Freezes the fuck up in place, bent over in front of the bag. And gives Chase another look. This one's just one of sheer horror.
Apr 11 00:38:00 <Anna_Myres>	Garcia just nyorn's <:3c
Apr 11 00:38:31 <Chase>	"Aw, come on. Girl's just relaxing. We ain't gonna dirty yo couch." he laughs. "Nice to meet you, Gigi. I'm Chase Violet, Zodiac Braves."
Apr 11 00:38:36 <Anna_Myres>	Saryx is looking at Gigi's bags?
Apr 11 00:38:45 <Saryx>	Shopping bags.
Apr 11 00:39:21 <Anna_Myres>	They are hug pillows.  She nods at Chase, trusting, then looks to Saryx.
Apr 11 00:39:23 <Anna_Myres>	"Gag gifts."
Apr 11 00:40:21 <Saryx>	"... You dropped your... Pillows?" He can't help but peer inside a second as he returns them to Gigi.
Apr 11 00:40:23 <Anna_Myres>	Garcia: "Aaaaaah.  And here I thought we'd be doing chemistry as well."
Apr 11 00:40:45 <Anna_Myres>	Gigi nods, and takes one out of the bag. She snickers as she does so.
Apr 11 00:40:47 <Chase>	"Nice as it is, though, maybe we oughtta part for now." he says to Garcia, though with a wink. "Maybe another time though~"
Apr 11 00:41:27 <Anna_Myres>	It's the general, shirtless on a bed, flexing with a smile.  Animated of course.
Apr 11 00:41:45 <Anna_Myres>	Gigi: "For Anna."
Apr 11 00:42:03 »»	Chase slides Garcia off his lap gently enough and gets up to get a look.
Apr 11 00:42:20 <Saryx>	"Pillows are comfy. Pretty weird for a gag gift, don't... You...?!?" Saryx just staaaares at the pillow, jaw dropping somewhat and not understanding anything that's going on in this room right now.
Apr 11 00:42:29 <Anna_Myres>	Garcia wimpers and pouts on the ground some before standing and giggling at the pillow.
Apr 11 00:42:45 <Saryx>	In disbelief. Not 'Oh God he's gorgeous', to clarify.
Apr 11 00:43:14 <Saryx>	"That's... A real interesting gift you got there..."
Apr 11 00:43:15 <Chase>	"Goddamn that's just mean." he can't help but be a bit amused, though.
Apr 11 00:44:19 <Anna_Myres>	Gigi snickers as she lifts up a second one. "For Ammy."  There's footsteps coming down the staircase, so Gigi looks over, then quickly reverses the pillow case faces and 'shhhhh's
Apr 11 00:45:17 »»	Chase smirks and keeps quiet, looking back over at the stairs.
Apr 11 00:46:02 »»	Saryx just... Quietly goes back to the couch without a word once he's handed Gigi her bags back.
Apr 11 00:46:14 <Anna_Myres>	Does he sit down?
Apr 11 00:46:21 <Saryx>	Yes, he does.
Apr 11 00:46:26 <Anna_Myres>	Garcia's instantly in his lap <:3c
Apr 11 00:46:49 <Saryx>	Like, *bzzzap* in his lap? Or jumps off Chase and onto him?
Apr 11 00:47:00 <Anna_Myres>	the latter
Apr 11 00:47:19 <Anna_Myres>	Anyway, Anna returns back downstairs with a small jar of red jelly like liquid. "Oh. Hi Gigi!  I'm gong to try alchemizing something!"
Apr 11 00:47:45 »»	Chase is not a jealous guy! Anyway, he looks back over at Anna, then at Saryx.
Apr 11 00:47:51 <Chase>	"So what combination are we trying?"
Apr 11 00:48:06 <Anna_Myres>	Anna: "Well...basically..."
Apr 11 00:48:27 <Saryx>	"Oh, ummm... Hi again... Garcia...." Saryx just looks up at her, a 'God have mercy on me'-ish look on his face.
Apr 11 00:48:52 <Anna_Myres>	Anna looks to Saryx and Garcia.  She's a bit frazzled by the lap sitting but keeps speaking. "Is there anything in particular you've brought you'd like me to do this to?"
Apr 11 00:50:45 <Chase>	"I got a suggestion if you can't think of anything, Saryx, just FYI." he says, looking over the stuff.
Apr 11 00:51:38 <Saryx>	Saryx leans his body around Garcia so as to talk to Anna. "Well, ummm..." Fidget, squirm. "I brought as much as I could with me since I... I figured you'd know what would work best. ... You're the one who's actually done this before!"
Apr 11 00:51:55 <Anna_Myres>	Gigi approaches as well, looking over the stuff. "Does Ammy know about this?" Garcia: "Nerp~" *short circuit* Gigi: "Oh boy."
Apr 11 00:52:55 <Anna_Myres>	"Right! But I was curious if there was anything you owned you'd especially like to be alchemized.  It...won't be much but it will be something."
Apr 11 00:54:01 <Anna_Myres>	She puts the jar down.  "This is a catalyst, so you won't have to use any of the ones you brought, at least."
Apr 11 00:54:03 <Saryx>	The way he's got himself positioned around Garcia, he's pretty much laying down on the couch at this point to make sure he can see Anna. ...

Apr 11 00:56:34 <Saryx>	He kind of asks the question as if prodding at her from a distance with a ten foot stick. "... And you've got a catalyst of your own? ... Hey, Chase! Which one did you want to try?"
Apr 11 00:57:17 <Chase>	"I was going to suggest the shield. She's got the catalyst... dunno what the 'bacon' would be, as it were. Like what Dr. Vai's book said."

Apr 11 00:59:51 <Anna_Myres>	Gigi tosses a pillow at her.  "Pillow and..." she digs around her hoodie some, then darts off and returns with some tinfoil.

Apr 11 01:03:25 <Chase>	"That... did look like it hurt, though, but I guess you do that often enough that she don't care."

Apr 11 01:08:43 <Anna_Myres>	Anna: "Anyway...uhm..." she closes her eyes and shuts the book.  The three items begin to float a little, the jar more some of its jelly contents than anything.
Apr 11 01:09:23 <Saryx>	"You really think so?!?" Okay, Saryx is now excite. The volume limiter is gone. But he's on the edge of his seat watching the procedure.
Apr 11 01:09:34 <Anna_Myres>	She starts chanting something in a singsongy voice under her breath as the air in the room begins to cool.  The liquid bursts into a small flame of sorts, and envelops the three items!

Apr 11 01:14:54 <Anna_Myres>	Anna: "But...yeah...I basically just can make stuff glow, or be shiny, or stuff like that." :<
Apr 11 01:15:00 <Saryx>	"Yes. Please." Comes Saryx' muffled voice from beneath the pillow.
Apr 11 01:15:24 <Chase>	"But it's possible to do more, right? Like... repair damaged things, or enhance them."
Apr 11 01:15:56 <Saryx>	"I mean, the principle is cool, but..." Saryx unsheathes his face from the pillow, then turns to Gigi. "Why?!?"
Apr 11 01:16:08 <Anna_Myres>	Anna: "Right! I was learning that but then the whole Russia thing started and most of them left the country for a bit..."

"He wasn't kidding! You really can make anything with these! ... Though I... Don't think I can actually make food with this now that I went and made a sword in it."

Apr 11 01:30:30 <Chase>	"You have to admit though, these pillows really capture something about the man, don't they? Nice to meet you, by the way. Chase Violet, of the Zodiac Braves. You must be Ammy Myres?"

Apr 11 01:35:46 <Chase>	"Yup. We ended up here from some business and're just taking in the sights at the moment. Pretty nice place."
Apr 11 01:36:54 <Anna_And_Ammy>	She then offers to shake both your hands.  "I apologize for the behavior of the others.  This is a completely unprofessional first impression."
Apr 11 01:38:37 <Chase>	"A relaxed atmosphere is a friendly one. I like to get the impression we're all friends here, in the Explorers. 'cept' when it comes down to competition." he laughs, shaking her hand.
Apr 11 01:39:12 <Saryx>	"If it helps any, you guys at least beat out the Thundercocks when we got introduced to them! That was real bad!" He trades a joke for a handshake. "And I'm Saryx! Saryx Sylvestine~ Real nice to meet you, too, Ammy!"
Apr 11 01:41:02 <Saryx>	"... Is the pillow really that..." He starts to comment on the cringing, but well... It's their dad. Of course she's gonna be ill over it. And stops mid-thought.

Apr 11 01:41:59 <Anna_And_Ammy>	She stares at the pillow, retches again. "I'm hoping this was just a tactless form of stress relief."

Apr 11 01:45:43 <Anna_And_Ammy>	Ammy shakes her head, looking to Anna. "This is more because Anna actually -listens- to what those two suggest than anything.  I assumed you asked her to make something?"
Apr 11 01:46:20 <Anna_And_Ammy>	She nods to Chase. "It should prove to be an entertaining match, given our opponents."
Apr 11 01:47:08 <Saryx>	"The General told me to look out for Anna when I asked him about alchemy. I was just curious was all."
Apr 11 01:49:05 <Chase>	"I haven't really kept up with Asteri's circuit...  looking forward to seein' it, yeah."

Apr 11 01:52:00 <Saryx>	"... The pickaxe?" He raises an eyebrow; he didn't exactly have that one on display so much as it probably just ended up on the floor somewhere along the way. And then just watches Ammy run off. "... Hope you feel better, Ammy!"
Apr 11 01:52:49 <Chase>	"...Huh."
Apr 11 01:53:03 <Chase>	"Well, I guess that can't hurt..."
Apr 11 01:53:13 <Saryx>	Back to Anna, now. "... The pickaxe and the feathers? Seems like an odd choice, but... That's a base and a catalyst we've got ... So that leaves room for the extra still, right?"
