⁰⁴ video (𝗎𝗇: 𝗌𝗈𝗎𝗅𝖻𝗈𝗎𝗇𝖽)

[alkahestic]

[ al's currently on floor 6, like... literally the floor, which has books and papers shoved aside so that there's a clear space. at first, the feed is a little shaky as he adjusts it, and then it's visible that he's got a rather large pile of dirt sitting in front of him. giving the feed a shy grin, he claps his gloved hands together and transmutes the material. there's a blinding flash of blue and yellow lightning and a whirl of dust. when it all fades, there's a pot with flowers sitting in the spot where the pile of dirt had been.

pleased with himself, al grins at the camera. ]

What with all the snow and everything, I thought people might be getting a little tired of the cold weather, so if people want some fresh plants to liven up their homes or rooms, I'd like to help.

[ he lifts up the pot and brings the flowers into focus. ]

I can make all types of things, if people want. My brother and I are still running a repair business for just about anything you can imagine, so please let me know!

[ setting the pot down again, he settles cross legged on the floor. ]

I was also thinking of all the different abilities people have here. For example, I'm an alchemist and you all just saw what I can do. But what can other people do? I mean, if it's not too much to ask, I'd like to ask a few questions.

[ Jason was leaning in the doorway once Al finished recording. He had a blue hat on backwards and dressed in one of his stained shirts that he wore when he cleaned up. Which is what today had been, a cleaning day.]

Well, that's a clever way to get rid of the dust.

[Color Dorian impressed. He's seen people do a lot of things with magic: time travel for instance (he might have had a hand in that), but this? Something from...well, something nearly completely different? That one's new. While he's very confident in his own abilities, the Altus Mage isn't above praising someone else, and he's painfully curious.]

Is the ability to create a potted plant from a pile of soil common in your world or are you something of a pioneer?

[He'll get to what he can do in just a moment.]

I, by the way, am Dorian Pavus. I work as a magic researcher.

I'm more used to the cold than I should probably admit, but.. some flowers would be nice.

Having real ones instead of holograms is new for me, so having different kinds in my apartment has become a bit of a... hobby.

Action/Audio

The sight of something changing like that was familiar with Haruna although the flash was very much out of the ordinary, reshaping, and repurposing nanomaterial looked nothing like that. The swirling effects true but if this boy(?) were a mental model, Haruna would have at least been able to try and raise him on quantum communications.

"Bathroom." she said plainly, as she moved into the bathroom, closing the doorway behind her.

She began to try and connect to the Joint Tactical Network or at least broadcast a quantum 'ping'. A glowing wavy yellow line formed near the under of her eyes and followed the contours of her face as she felt around only to find silence once more. False hope, an annoying emotion that she was getting too familiar with. The lines faded as soon as they appeared leaving no trace of its existence. Still best to keep up the charade. A meaningless toilet flush and a washing of her hands later Haruna left the bathroom and returned to the communal room.

Still that offer did stand and Haruna was very interested in what exactly this 'alchemy' was as a plan formed in her mind.
"I will be back soon." Haruna said to her roommates before entering the hallway closing the door behind her. No one was around and then Haruna cued the microphone of her communicator.

------

An icon appeared on screen, a yellow downwards pointing triangle with it's top corners flanging out, a trio of smaller triangles radiating and then a smaller pair of triangles near the bottom point. There was no name or number to call back listed but still there was a woman's voice still came from it.

"I am very curious about what you did with Alchemy. While I have no interest in acquiring a plant, I desire to share information about our abilities. But I'd rather do it in person than over the video system of this communication network. There may be too many watching eyes and it lacks the direct feedback and has an inherent delay."

The image stayed on screen as if waiting for an answer from the Alchemist.

[Okay, so that's a new one. Tieria watched the video in fascination before finally hitting the reply button.]

How did you do that?

[Interesting ability there, Al. Color Ash intrigued.]

I have no abilities to speak of; certainly nothing spectacular. I did want to go about restoring this old amusement park I happened to notice in the Abandoned City.

[ Al would be dealing with a barrage of questions right now, if it weren't for the fact that Cisco knows Ed a little, has already harassed him about the basics of alchemy. So instead he just responds: ]

bespoke houseplants
i completely dig it

[ Does that even count as a pun? If it does, it's so bad that it's not even worth mentioning. ]

think you could whip me up some cute succulents?
maybe a dozen?
is there a price per plant?

[ Cisco really likes having cute little houseplants to take care of, is there anything so wrong with that? ]

as far as powers are concerned i can help a little
i know all about how people's abilities worked in my world.
i worked with folks with superpowers all the time.

[ Also, Cisco has powers, himself, but he's not really going to just put that out there on the network thanks very much. ]
