So you know how you fucked off and became Asha and didn't tell me?

Well guess what I did yesterday.

I am not a sexy Russian spy! :(

[She isn't unaware that he missed the earlier question, but it's there. Besides, this sounds crazy. And awesome.

...so you're kind of Doctor Doolittle?

[Literally not what he said.]

[E-mail: Lera, Malachai]

[suddenly_science]

I do such terrible things to plants in my labs, maybe I should feel bad.

I wonder if you could give a plant a sleeping potion before you grind it up...

[E-mail: Harriet, Lera]

[andlivefreely]

[brb looking up Doctor Doolittle]

Sure why not. 8P

Dude do you have any idea how terrible it'd be if we freaked out any time a plant or animal got injured? What the fuck would we eat

ps yes you are Anna

[E-mail: Mal, Lera]

[suddenly_science]

But if you can hear plant feelings does this mean that every time someone mows a lawn in proximity you'll hear all the little grass blades screaming?

This sounds unfortunate.

[E-mail: Harriet, Lera]

[andlivefreely]

what
no
maybe?
I have no idea how it works ok I've only been Vohu for A DAY

[E-mail: Mal, Lera]

[suddenly_science]

Keep me posted on this issue.

omg you're going to fix the Undertow!?

[priority 2 apparently]

[E-mail: Harriet, Malachai]

[firecracker_hopping]

Thank God for that. The Ahura will be relieved.

[E-mail: Lera, Malachai]

[suddenly_science]

I mayyyy have super!stoned the Undertow a little while ago before the typhoon so sorry if that makes it harder.

[E-mail: Harriet, Lera]

[andlivefreely]

what

[E-mail: Harriet, Malachai]

[firecracker_hopping]

It's why there is an Undertow, probably, so...

[E-mail: Lera, Malachai]

[suddenly_science]

So it wouldn't crumble in the storm!

Do you want to turn a pile of crumbled stone back into people? I DON'T THINK YOU DO

...if you can't turn it back from superstone I should be able to make a reversal formula for the enhancement though.

[E-mail: Harriet, Lera]

[andlivefreely]

was the storm that bad? I wasn't really tracking it

uh

maybe I should investigate and see if it's shit that I can't fix 8|

[E-mail: Mal, Lera]

[suddenly_science]

We have samples of it at alchemist headquarters if you want to try to de-stone it.

[E-mail: Harriet, Malachai]

[firecracker_hopping]

Probably should dragonmail that over.

[E-mail: Harriet, Lera]

[andlivefreely]

If it can be used by non-alchemists
Can you dragonmail me an alchemist too? 8D

[E-mail: Mal, Lera]

[suddenly_science]

Not the potion, like superstoned branches and stuff. If you can unstone those you could unstone the whole Undertow, right?

[E-mail: Harriet, Lera]

[andlivefreely]

Ooooh that makes more sense
Yeah, send some over, if you can. We'll try it out.

[E-mail: Harriet, Malachai]

[firecracker_hopping]

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

[E-mail: Mal, Lera] + [Dragonmail: Mal]

[suddenly_science]

All right!

[a little while later, Mal gets a dragonmailed superstone.... pencil.

an accompanying note explains that the branches were too heavy for the dragons to carry and couldn't be broken into pieces because they're superstone, so she superstoned a pencil instead]

[Dragonmail: Harriet]

[andlivefreely]

[it takes some doing to figure out how to undo the superstoning. he dmails her back a few hours later, using the same pencil she'd sent 8D]

If I sent Val over you think you could pass her a branch to bring back? I wanna see if I can incorporate bypassing the superstoning into the unstoning ritual.

Don't worry she doesn't hate players.

She actually likes me...

[Dragonmail: Mal]

[suddenly_science]

Oh, okay, sure.

She's your alt? [ulp!]

I will be on my best behavior.

[Dragonmail: Harriet]

[andlivefreely]

Yeah but she's cool.

She lost her druid powers and that kinda soured her mood but she's got 'em back now so she's happy as a clam. Uh, she's the sort who doesn't think before she speaks, but other than that you got nothing to worry about.

She fought against Aerveas, that's how she lost her powers.

[Dragonmail: Mal]

[suddenly_science]

Oof, that sounds risky. The fighting back, I mean.

[Dragonmail: Harriet]

[andlivefreely]

Pretty sure she knew the risks going into it.

[he actually isn't sure...]

I'll send her over!

[Dragonmail: Mal]

[suddenly_science]

Okay, I'll be here!
