2nd Floor Common Room, late

Edward has cleared a space on the floor in the common room and has spread out all over it. He's seated in the center of a mess of stuff... some books are piled and scattered about, there are several bags and vials of strange-looking material mixed in with notes and loose chalk. He will occasionally mix some ingredients together and clap, then fiddle with the result.

He's clearly up to something.

[OOC: Come poke at Ed, he's bored.]

John is now wandering the halls, unable to sleep because the mun wants to game, dammit. He sees some dude playing patticake with the floor. Dude's wearing a shiny watch.

"Uh... Modern Art project there?" OMG MUN WANTS SHINY ALCHEMIST WATCH

"Couldn't sleep, either?"

"Wha--what the fuck? Did you just unmeld that... thing?"

John backed away a step. Magic? Combining things? No, there had to be a tech solution...or was there?

"So... you do this combination thing all the time." John sits down in a nearby sofachair.

"So what can you do with this magic? Are you a witch?"

"Yeah, well, there's no killer robots in my time, but there will be, and there are here."

"It's a science? Like, a real science like Physics and Chemistry and Sociology and not a fake science like Primate Anthropology or Ancient Egyptian Calculus?"

*Hamlet has finally come out of his room and wanders by the common room. He notices the mess, blinks, and pop his head in.*

Dare I ask what is going on here?

"Apperantly, it's the science of magic."

He gives Hamlet the once over, and snickers.
"Nice pajamas. Really love the Ebeneezer Scrooge sleeping hat."

"So you add two pinches of Eye of Newt, add a titrate of bat guano, mix in some hydrochloric acid, and you've got nifty things? What's with the clap and slap?"

The science of magic? Alchemy? I always thought that interest died out with the Enlightenment.


I've been sick much of this week and these were a gift from my Father. Besides, black caps help keep the heat in and stop people from pouring poison in your ears while you are sleeping.

All the Alchemy of read of in book always involved making Faustian pacts with devils to gain supernatural powers.

*eyes Ed a little warily*

"Yeah, I thought it was some Middle Age nonsense, but if he's able to cross a soccerball with a vase, and revert 'em, it's magic. Copperfield or copper pot, either way."

No, really, it looks good. Velvet is really your fabric. And the horsie design is very macho.

and maybe it's not poison that they're pouring in your ears, it's fashion advice

"Faust? Isn't he one of the department heads?"

John takes a step back, again.

Or he would, if the chair wasn't so comfy.

"So is it science or soul, Blondie?"

"So this isn't that mumbojumbo magic, this is... what, Alternate Physics? Can you turn lead into gold?"

"The Gate? Shit, not another portal. Whaddya mean, you've lost limbs? Look fine t'me. No obvious deformaties, no second head, nuttin."

"So why're you special? And what's this chimera? You create like harpies and that?"
