[ Elfnein has a very panicked look on her face and an alien like familiar next to her. If you didn't know what it was you might just think it's a cute little monster.]

How do I get rid of a familiar? This one isn't safe to have around people.

[ Even though it's touching Elfnein's hand nothing is happening and it's just chilling. ]

It's a type of monster from my home that causes people to carbonize on contact. I can't let it hurt anyone here!

You deal often with creatures that turn people into ash? Are there a lot of them?

[Because she... looks kinda young to be dealing with a lot of little monsters that disintegrate people. (What is it with all these kids and teenagers lately? It's weirding him out, a little.)]

[alchemists]

They're a common enemy, but I'm not the one fighting them. I provide observational support and tech support. Though the group that was making these creatures has been disbanded so it's not as bad as it was before.

[That's a relief. Too many of these kids wanting to jump into combat.]

Just doing clean-up now, huh? What's your name?

[alchemists]

My name's Elfnein.

[theonlyrealthing]

Jack Benjamin. Pleased to meet you, miss Elfnein. Welcome to fairy tale land, I guess.

[alchemists]

Fairy tale land is a good way to put it!

[theonlyrealthing]

Does seem like it, doesn't it. What's it like where you're from, Elfnein?

[alchemists]

It's peaceful now, but there have been several people wanting to destroy the world that had to be stopped.

[theonlyrealthing]

[What the hell.]

Why would they want to destroy something you live on? Wouldn't that mean they'd die, too?

[alchemists]

Sort of? They all had valid reasons for why they wanted to do. But we stopped them before they managed to get that far.

[theonlyrealthing]

That's good. That's real good. So I guess you have experience with this whole threat to the whole world kind of thing.

[Kids. Kids have experience with this, and a twenty-seven year old prince doesn't. It's nuts.]

[alchemists]

It's a little sad to say but yes, I have experience with it.
