She is going to pick up all the nice swag and then everyone can have one of everything.

Permalink

Everybody sets up a nice little workstation for themselves and then Aadhya proposes that she bring out mal corpses one at a time and people can raise their hands if they want one; does she have a good way to handle the wastage or should they just throw it all into the ceramics furnace and the fire behind the big forge?

Permalink

She can transfer it into her pocket dimension and throw it into the void from there.

Cool. They will not worry about being efficient and Using Every Part Of The Sirenspider. Soon they are merrily butchering their way through things that go bump in the night and chattering about how they will use these eyeballs and that ichor and this hide and those bones.

Permalink

Kareen is listening intently and taking notes! She isn’t going to get in their way but she is going to take as much advantage of Anything You Can Do as possible under the circumstances.

This one senior from Aadhya's Hindi spell swap network seems to find narrating about what he is doing helpful and will tell her all about it; he's building a suit of armor to graduate in, for himself and then he'll get started on prepping materials for future allies, though his alliance is not nailed down yet.

That's so great! She can ask intelligent and helpful questions, partly courtesy of You Can Teach Better. What an excellent grade in rubber duck she is going to get.

He's doing it out of mostly leather from this kind of mal treated with this here goop from this second kind but studded with these thingies from that kind of mal over there and with some supportive structural ribbing out of these, he thought he was going to have to use the quills from those which do have acceptable material qualities but were going to be so annoying to devenom, and...

Permalink

Oh, that's interesting...so this has that implication, right...and that thing could be substituted by those other things, but it would be less effective?

Permalink

That second idea would be slightly more effective actually but it would a) smell bad and b) be MUCH more time consuming (he'd have to enchant every scale individually to realize any gains) so he's not doing it.

Permalink

...What would happen if he enchanted one scale, and then she duplicated it?

Permalink

"I can think of things that would work for but for this one I'd want to enchant each one in relation to the neighboring scales, not identically, or it'd have a cascade problem whenever the proximity reaction went off."

Permalink

"Oh, I see. Yes, that sounds distinctly troublesome."

Permalink

"I did so much math about it before I realized it doesn't work but yeah."

Permalink

"What about the prepping material for allies part, is that something I can help with?"

Permalink

"Sure, if you wanna skin some more of these guys?"

Permalink

"Sure, no problem."

There are occasional calls for more crystals, another one of this or that mal, any chance she has embossing tools?, and they can spend a productive afternoon on their respective projects.

Permalink

Crystals she can do, this or that mal she can do, embossing tools she doesn't have immediately but they're not that mechanically complicated, after a basic description and a couple of iterations she can manage. 

It's during a lull in her participation in the proceedings that she gets a funny look on her face, says, "Excuse me, I'll be right back," and dashes for the stairs.

Yeah yeah the school will not get in her way, she's its new favorite. The freshman who managed to croak out her name while flinging up a mediocre shield against something in the school supply cabinet in the back of the language lab is over here.

Permalink

She loves you too Scholomance!!!

She bursts in, making absolutely no effort not to draw attention from anyone else in the lab, efficiently murders the mal, and then kneels next to the kid. How badly hurt is he.

Permalink

Minor acid burns and flirting with mana exhaustion. He kinda clings to her arm when that's an action it is possible to take.

Permalink

Okay the first thing she’s going to do is get out some water and rinse the acid burns to get rid of any remaining acid. Then she’s going to give him a crystal. He can absolutely cling to her.

Permalink

He yelps a little bit about the rinsing process but doesn't fight it.

Permalink

"That's to help with the acid so your burns don't get worse."
