"...Okay, that's suspiciously vague... um... Is there anything not vague you can tell me?..."

"Y'know, a friend of mine talks a good bit about you... And your cult... Family? Thing? What... What is it? Because to me it kinda looks like a mix between some kinda mafia and a cult and I'm confused. Um anyway...

What's... Like... The deal? With it? The family, I mean... Because Medkit seemed kinda standoffish about it when I asked about it but my buddy just... Has a normal life? What do you guys even do?..."

"Well, we're tryin' to discover the secrets of the Inphinity, that's what!"

[the-healthiest-potion]

Health Potion chuckles. Bottled Stardom. Clever. "Honestly, Bottled Stardom sounds a lot cooler anyway. Hey, um, I'd love to stay and chat longer, but I have somewhere to be. Let's stay in touch, though, yeah? In case either of us need each other's help or whatever."

"Oh, holy shit? Another alchemist?? I've never seen another potionmaker before! Um! Uh, uhh. Hi! Oh, man, this is exciting, it's so great to meet you! And stuff!"

@the-healthiest-potion

OOC: AUUGH I LITERALLY ALMOST SCREAMED WHEN I LOOKED AT YOUR BLOG THIS IS SO AWESOME I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE ANOTHER POTION-TYPE OC BLOG ON HERE!!!!!

Ooo, hello! Nice to meet another alchemist here as well! Tell me, how long have you been in Crossroads?

[the-healthiest-potion]

"Yeaaahh, I'm sure you get like... Tons of business with your potion shop. I mean, I've thought about putting a price on my stuff, but... Just doesn't seem right to me personally. Especially the healing stuff. I mean, business is good and all but I like doing what I do to lend a hand, not really for profit.

Though I... Think I used to? Own some kind of potion shop somewhere? I-I dunno, the details are lost on me, but that friend I mentioned before once told me about how he'd have to pay some kinda fee to get a potion from me."

"Ohhh, I get it. Yeah, of course. Honestly, I'm a little wary of people too, I don't... usually just up and approach people full of energy like this, I'm not gonna lie... I mean, Crossroads is a good place and all but... ... You can never be too careful..."

"Yeah, that's the best part of doing shit. Using it to help people. Y'know, I always loved helping people for like... As long as I can remember. It used to be kinda hard to do that stuff back in my home region, but here it feels like anything's possible. Super neat! Though, I do hope things work out for you and your friend. And... I'm not opposed to being a helping hand if you ever need one!"

"Eh- Like... a dunno, a year? A year and a half? I moved in with a friend of mine recently, it's a lot better here than where I used to live. Warmer too. Who woulda thought it'd be so tough getting used to a hotter climate, huh? Anyway, I didn't even know we had a seller here for potions and stuff. Crossroad's just full of surprises! Thankfully mostly pleasant ones."

"Figuring out everything? That seems impossible, honestly... I mean... some things you just can't explain and it pisses me off to no end, but... How are you supposed to unlock all those secrets anyway? A-And what if they're kept secrets for a good reason? I mean, the idea of poking my nose where it doesn't belongs just-... eh. Gives me a headache... Literally..."

"Well, we're tryin' to discover the secrets of the Inphinity, that's what!"

[the-healthiest-potion]

"....What. What... What secrets? You mean like you're all a bunch of scholars? Trying to like... Come up with an explanation for everything?"

"Thinking about asking a friend or two about life in that cult... Y'know... just in case things go south for me... A plan B's never hurt anyone, yeah?"

[the-healthiest-potion]

"Some super rich guy came into the cafe today and sat at my bar. SUPER fucking rude and mean to me I almost cried actually and didn't even leave a tip. Got into a fight with the manager about something before leaving.

Anyway I took their credit card information when they handed it off to me to pay and I'm sharing the information with Coil and Skateboard to see what they do with it

Should be fun!"

[the-healthiest-potion]

Health Potion watches his gear intently, keeping an ear out for Shuriken's stammered explanation.

"Must've been pretty lucky to find this then..."

He picks up one of the few remaining ingredients, then pauses, staring at the beaker the current concoction was being held in.

"...Uh oh-"

Without any notable warning, the beaker explodes, sending shards of glass and ruined potion flying in all directions. The liquid burns to the touch and evaporates almost as quickly as it exploded into black smoke, floating up into the air. Just like that, nearly all of the ingredients Shuriken had gathered were put to waste on a ruined, useless potion. None of it could be salvaged.

Health Potion steps back, coughing and swatting smoke from his face. He unclips his goggles, his heavily scarred eyes squinting at the lenses. He sighs and drops his arms, his attention back to Shuriken. "You-... You okay?..."

He pulls a spare cloth from his belt and offers it to him. "I'm sorry, I... I must've put in too many grains of salt. And... Put it in too early..." He sighs, frustrated with himself. "Damnit..."

" ... "

how could he start this conversation? he had no clue where to begin, especially since the context was about his sister. but still he approaches, with a bag of oddly specific ingredients in hand.

" yo ! you uh ... have some time ? i need a bit of help ... "

(( @kumonohoshi !! I was a bit scared to interact but hiiii!!! ))

"Hi?... Um... Yeah, I'm not... I'm not doing anything... right now..." He shifts his weight, sensing some awkward energy about this demon before him. While his head seems focused on you, you can feel his eyes are more interested in the bag... "...What do you need help with?..."

[the-healthiest-potion]

"Alright, no need to tell me twice..." Health Potion mumbles, taking the scroll and opening it.

The expression he makes reading the scroll does not help the situation at all.

He lays the scrolls down flat on the table, then shoulders his gear off of his back, placing it down. His head tilts up at Shuriken. "We, uh... We're gonna be here a while."

He smiles awkwardly at Shuriken before focusing on the task at hand. He works quickly, handling each ingredient and segment of machinery with care. He's clearly been at this whole alchemy thing a while, so... Maybe a miracle isn't too far out of reach.

After a while of silence, Health Potion decides a conversation might help. It would at least take their minds off of the funky smell the work-in-progress cure was emitting...

"So, uh... How'd you get this recipe anyway? I've met more healers than I have alchemists and... Well, there's not a lot of healers out there..."

[the-healthiest-potion]

Health Potion's awkward smile falters. His eyebrows raise as Shuriken drops the ingredients on the table and mumbles to him. "...Wow." It takes him a second, to process everything he's looking at. "Some of these are... How did you?!-" He shakes his head. "I need to stop asking questions- Look... I've never made a cure for a curse before, I gotta be honest with you. And these ingredients in front of me right now? Really tricky to work with. And most of them are pretty hard to get... I can't... promise anything, but I can tell this means a lot to you. And your sister, whoever she is." Health Potion picks up one of the ingredients laid out on the table, inspecting it. "...It'll be a miracle if I get this first try... Alchemy's super delicate, I say that a lot, but that's never stopped me before. Just... Be prepared for the worst, okay?" He puts the ingredient down and returns focus to Shuriken. "Do you... happen to have a recipe on you? Anything'll help."

How's it been going with Coil? I know what you are, HP! :p - @orbital-strike-flute

"Everything's great! I got a bunch of old pictures to look at of the old me to help jog my memory and I think I should be able to start boxing with Coil soon! I've been working out and trying to rely on myself more instead of my potions...

It takes one to know one, Kazoo. So, how're you and Medkit?"

[the-healthiest-potion]

I like you.

"Ah- We are?? Tacos???? ...Okay. Um. Sure. I like tacos..."

"Psstt...barista boy! You say you can make shit like poison, yeah? Got anything for a lil...'buddy' who's not from 'round town?"
