video; un: poison

[Though her last post had been entirely anonymous, she had taken on the advice of some of the people who had responded to her. Being lonely is entirely different to being alone, and Poison hasn't been adapting well to having a very limited number of people to turn to if she just wants a friend.

But still, she's never been that good at communicating with people.

She starts the video seated in her room at the inn with a plain wall behind her. Her hair is tucked behind her ears, though she quickly shakes it free upon realising she doesn't much like how that looks.]

Good afternoon.

[Ugh...]

I'm looking for the other alchemists here. I've had that power since I arrived, and I'd like to propose a... [Hmm.] A study group, I suppose. To share ideas, and to help each other if one of us needs it. It isn't the easiest of magics to master, and I think we could find benefits in working as a team sometimes.

[She's sure at least one person is going to scoff at this. Poison doesn't care.]

There's space in Camelot's library, but it doesn't have to be there. I'll be going there later today though, if anyone wants to join me.

Comments

[Something about Klaudia causes an immediate hesitation on Poison's end. Despite the years of experience she has outside of her own home she still has some deeply ingrained, instinctive responses to people who are 'not-human'.

But she manages to brush it off quickly, or at least give the appearance that she has.]

For studying, it's fine. I wouldn't say we ought to do practical work there. [That... seems like a bad idea.]

I've been working on... potions with defensive properties. Things that make noise, light, or smoke. Something that can be used quickly without any need for magical expertise.

[It's not an uncommon reaction--and one reason why she doesn't usually approach new people on video. Who wants to be reminded of how inhuman they look all the time? But it passes quickly and the other girl doesn't comment, so at most, Klaudia just looks a little tired.]

I didn't think of using potions like that. I can use light magic to make a bright flash, so I don't need alchemy for that one. But noise or smoke... I'd be interested in figuring out those, as well.

[She smirks a little in good humor.] I've made enough smoke and explosions by accident~ Making them on purpose should be easy, right?

[writtendestiny]

[Though Poison's more than used to seeing people who don't look entirely human, there's always going to be a slight internal twitch about it. For the first sixteen years of her life, 'not-human' meant 'phaerie', and that was almost always bad.

But at least she can keep herself from making a big deal of it now.

She does smirk slightly in turn, appreciating the humour.]

I've done the same thing. Usually when I don't mean to, so I can't always make it happen again.
