Who: Alchemists, tea house patrons, and anyone drawn to bright lights
When: Day 78, midday
Where: outside the Q'Tea House
What:

*the numbers have been run, and checked, and run again, and checked again, with a couple more iterations for good measure. the theory's been checked and evaluated, and now it's time for the payoff of all of Izumi and Ed's work.

that is to say, there's some pretty spectacular indoor lightning striking and sizzling away outside the tea house today.*

Well, there's a lot to be seen around here, you've still got a chance, too.

[lyvus_daddy]

Heard about that. Really should get a weapon first. Maybe go check out the stuff upstairs, get into hunting again.

Sentient bipedals were always different from animals in combat.

[nometal_alchemist]

If it's a wooden one, I could probably fashion something for you now... we haven't gotten further than just the plant matter, unfortunately.

[lyvus_daddy]

Wooden sword wouldn't do much, but a spear can be good with just wood.

[nometal_alchemist]

*nods*

You'd probably only be able to knock someone out with a wooden sword, that wouldn't be a lot of help around here.

[lyvus_daddy]

Yeah. And these things are too big to just keep beating.

[nometal_alchemist]

Mm, but we could manage at least a spear. Stab them instead of hitting them.

[lyvus_daddy]

[Nods.] Then it's just finding the thin skin.

[nometal_alchemist]

They've all got their weak spots.

[lyvus_daddy]

[Nods.] Everything does.

[nometal_alchemist]

We'll get some materials together and I'll make you something to get started.

[lyvus_daddy]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

[nometal_alchemist]

Ah, it'll be good practice for me, too.

[lyvus_daddy]

For working with new stuff?

[nometal_alchemist]

*nods*

It's still a bit different from the alchemy I'm used to, so the more I do it, the better it'll go.

[lyvus_daddy]

[Nods.] Time can do a lot.

[nometal_alchemist]

Time and experience both. I think I'll manage both of those here, now.

[lyvus_daddy]

[Nods.] You seem good at adapting.

[nometal_alchemist]

I've had my share of changes to deal with.

[lyvus_daddy]

It's a good trait to have.

[nometal_alchemist]

It's been helpful at times. Did a lot of good during all my travels. There's a lot of differences between my plane and the others.

[lyvus_daddy]

Twentieth century earth was surprisingly common though.

[nometal_alchemist]

Mm, there weren't many like my own, though. And the planes Jace knew were... they were similar to each other in their differences from all the others, but wildly different too. There's just so much out there.
