Rise and shine, everyone! At 7:00 AM on the dot, those who are asleep will be roused from their slumber by the sound of a bugle call. It seems that breakfast is now served in the Mess Hall. How nice! It's up to you to decide if you want to continue sleeping or not... But maybe it's a good idea to grab a bite and explore your surroundings. After all, it looks like you'll be here for a little while. Regardless of what you do, be sure to check the weather before stepping outside. You never know when you might need an umbrella! Once you're up and at them, though, there are a few points of interest this week. If you swing by the Director's Office, you will find Black Shadows manning the receptionist's desk or flitting in and out of the rooms down the hallway. This week's tasks are now available, and you can check them out on the announcement board in the waiting room. Should you visit the Camp Shop, Purple Heart will be handling all transactions at the checkout counter. Even camp directors hold down normal jobs, you know. Strangely enough, Winter Wizard doesn't seem to be stationed at any set location. Maybe it's their week off? Oh, well. Seems like if you want to get ahold of them, you'll have to pay your respects to the bunnies. Finally, though all seems normal at first glance... You will quickly realize something is wrong the moment you start interacting with other people. Or, more specifically, once you come in physical contact with them. For the rest of the week, anyone who makes skin-to-skin (or whatever counts as skin, for the non-humans) contact with someone else will find themselves in a bit of a sticky situation. Whatever body parts touched will be stuck together for the next hour, with no way to separate them. Try not to create additional points of contact while trying to cheat your way out of this situation, yeah? That would be unpleasant, for each spot will last an entire hour. Good luck.

Explain.

[he's IMMEDIATELY intrigued.]

[applechemist]

Everyone here and everyone back on the ship... It seems like their worlds don't have alchemy.

But mine does, the same way that your world has fonons and other people's don't.

[getdrekt]

[he nods in agreement]

How does it work? Does it transmute elements, matter, or objects?

What kind of science does it use?

[applechemist]

Um... I mean, all three...? It really depends on what you're trying to make. And there's a lot of potentials within alchemy that we no longer understand.

[ But the act of trying to re-learn what the alchemists of the pasts did... Is... Hm. Bad.

She just tilts her head at that. Kinds of science? ] Huh?

[getdrekt]

[WHAT]

What kind of science?

It can't just create matter out of nothing, correct?

[applechemist]

Of course not. Only magic can do that.

[getdrekt]

So... your alchemy.

It's magic.

[that's kind of a letdown.]

[applechemist]

It's not magic!

[getdrekt]

Well? How does it work, then?

[applechemist]

Like you said. You can't make something from nothing. Alchemy is just using the materials in your recipe to imbue their traits into the items that you craft with them.

[getdrekt]

So... literally iron to gold?

[applechemist]

Yes, but you would need more ingredients.

[getdrekt]

[hm]

What's your most common alchemy, then? Give me some examples of what materials you would use to create... something.

[applechemist]

The most common thing we make is probably medicine, from herbs that grow outside of town. Or reinforced building materials for repairs, or rations.

[getdrekt]

Convenient.

I assume you can't do anything like that here.

[applechemist]

[ She nods... ]

Right. It seems like they take away any special abilities like that... Even if they aren't magic. It was the same on the ship.
