Angie, the friendly face of the Montréal enclave, is keeping an eye out for interesting looking people to invite on a supply run.
Lily stands, and carefully channels her stored mana into Zed's proffered sink.
Zed gathers all the mana and starts on the spell again, grabbing hold of the back of Alexei's shirt and nudging him forward through the door.
Nia writes an alchemical wishlist, though it's sparser than her school supplies one.
Alexius heads towards the front of the pack again, ready to bodyblock for the others, and thinks about brewing station parts and memory potion ingredients.
Yolanda is not super an alchemist so she mostly thinks about expensive alchemical trade goods.
Alexei reluctantly passes them to Angie after a moment, not being the safest person to be following around. She holds onto their arm as they descend deeper into the school, keeping them from running into anything.
None of them particularly need anything from the alchemy storage, though, so they're mostly just guarding and planning on taking whatever is there that piques interest.
...things that combine well with cocaine? Things that have high trade value?
Safe, easily transportable, valuable compounds. Orichalcum powder - Orichalcum rods, she could draw those out into wire - citrionelle oil, eucalyptus oil, alum, lubanja, mineral oil, vitriol, moongold, platinum, coral, zafranum, ginger oil, mustard seed -
Tomonori would like quite a few alchemical supplies!
Jasmine attar, daemonorops resin, caraway seeds, sandalwood powder...cassiterite, although that's a long shot.
Down down down they go, Zed muttering the spell and concentrating very hard. All the different types of mana very strange. They're used to Alex and Angie's. But the spell works and -
"Next door on the left."
"Thank you Zed and Sir Spell the Marvelous!" She waits for the mal check before diving into the cabinet in search of coconut oil and pine sap and rock salt.
A huge five kilo tub of coconut oil! And the other two as well, but mostly the coconut oil takes up the whole cabinet.
Lily keeps her rearguard position and doesn't so much as glance over at anything.
"Oh, Sir Spell, this is a little much," she muses, peering at the coconut oil. She regards it and then pulls one of her jars. "Has anyone a spoon?"
"Thank you, Zed, and Sir Spell the Marvelous!"
Spells probably aren't like items in that they need you to appreciate them to behave the way you want them to, but it seems only fair to be nice to Zed and his spell. Tomonori is glad Nia started the thankfulness train- he probably wouldn't have thought of it on his own.
He can't help with her coconut oil dilemma, so hopefully the ladle will do. Attar, resin, seeds, powder...ore, if he's lucky, although maybe the school thinks that's only for artificing. He can imagine it getting confused.
Nia ladles coconut oil into her jar, humming merrily, and puts the rock salt chunks and little vial of pine sap each in her pants pockets, previously turned out for safety reasons but now shovable back into her pants, since her backpack is now very full and she has a second binder to carry too.
There's a large row of shelves near the back of the room that look very promising...
"That is a lot of coconut oil." She glances around for any unclaimed containers that might be lurking in the alchemy cabinet; it seems ungrateful not to take any coconut oil when there's so much more than the people who actively want it can carry.
Non-alchemists will still have to take intro to lab. Two of the Montréalites go through the shelves for valuable trade goods - there's not a lot that one would really call very rare but there's plenty of common and somewhat uncommon ingredients for the taking, as well as equipment. Alex takes enough equipment to set up a lab in his room, actually.
Angie, though, stays by Zed and keeps an eye on the room. And also takes their hand discreetly and smiles up at them, appreciative.
