[after this conversation]

So I just talked to Nova.

He's Hello_Players on the forums.

[he links to the thread, and then c/p's the PM'd conversation.]

Comments

Be careful if you do. I mean, text convos are probably safe.

[andlivefreely]

Yeah, just online.

[that's the plan, anyway]

Who knows, he's already come to me once. He might again.

[suddenly_science]

Maybe. He likes talking to people. And attention.

Kinda made him that way...

[andlivefreely]

Well I'll keep an eye on his forum activity, at any rate. While you're off governing or whatever it is Sharifas do.

If I see anything overly worrying I'll let you know.

[suddenly_science]

Thanks! Looking after things earthside is a complicated gig, huh?

[andlivefreely]

Only when you're also breathing fire.

[no explanation]

[suddenly_science]

Is that right.

[andlivefreely]

It's kinda cool.

Except that it burns.

Had a stock of fire resistance potions handy, though.

I caught Dragon's Breath. Lots of Zen diseases going around. But now I'm trying to formulate a potion that'll give you fire breathing! It'll be great! 8D

[suddenly_science]

I'm still working on a portmanteau for awesome/terrifying.


But it sounds that.

[andlivefreely]

Hey if I get it working maybe you can give it to the spellswords and they can scare the shit out of their enemies in combat.

Though it might be more befitting of berserkers.

[suddenly_science]

Bioweapons....

[andlivefreely]

They already got those. Acid bombs and shit.

This, though. This is cool. ...well, not literally.

Maybe I can do a frost breathing one after...

[I'M ASSUMING REPLY ALL BECAUSE COME ON]

Wow, I do not envy you. Are you gonna be okay?

[andlivefreely]

So long as I don't run out of potions.

Gotta keep Gin in his cage so I don't cough on him, though. I don't fancy fried rat. 8(

[inchesofevil]

Yeah, I doubt he fancies it either. How much of your shit is fireproofed?

[andlivefreely]

Not enough. Already singed the wall in the bathroom.

Managed to fix up a fire-proof handkerchief, though. With the potions, it's enough, so long as I'm careful.

Keeping a fire extinguisher handy just in case.

[inchesofevil]

Uhhh...

Would you like a supply of flu masks that you could fireproof?

Actually that sounds like a stellar business endeavour right now.

[andlivefreely]

That would be easier than a handkerchief.

And I can always use more business endeavours.

[inchesofevil]

I'll snag a couple boxes from the lab and head over, if you're up for it now.

[andlivefreely]

That'd be awesome, thanks.

Though you won't wanna come in, just in case.

[Because Mal doesn't want to make you sick 8(]

[inchesofevil]

I've kind of started wearing my lab safety gear whenever I go out. Should be fine if I don't stay too long.

[andlivefreely]

Bet you never thought you'd have a reason to wear that shit outside of the lab. 8P

I could probably fireproof one or two before you left, if they'd be of any use to ya.

[inchesofevil]

I hope they won't be, but it couldn't hurt.
