[video]

[blastiafreak]

[The video's not very clear when it comes on; it's dark and gloomy, showing hints of thick dust and cobwebs--a glimpse of a window reveals deep fog--and then it shifts to Rita's wide-eyed face. When she speaks, she's trying very hard to pretend she's calm...and failing pretty horribly.]

I-is anyone else stuck in this weirdo place? I mean, it's not like I need help or anything, but-

[A loud creak and sudden clatter of footsteps interrupts her, the shutters to the window abruptly blowing open, and she jumps with a yelp.] Aah--! Uh--it's not sc--just where's the exit, already?!

[Maybe realizing that the video's still recording her little freak-out, she quickly shuts it off.]

[ooc: Tags slow forever. ._. Sorry!]

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Mwahaha!

Completely ridiculous!]

[Maybe while she's waiting, she can try teasing Tyr some more...And she just says the first thing that comes to mind.] Oh, so you wouldn't make it just for me?

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ This is true evil!

Especially when applied to Rita! ]

[ He looks up at her and actually doesn't catch that she's joking that time. ] Of course I would. This is mostly for you in the first place...

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[And then they'll rake in more...with a movie!

The most fearless person ever!!]

[She would've kept teasing him when she thinks he's taking it seriously, but what he says throws her off a little.] Huh? It is?

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ And it'll end in a cliffhanger so you need to see the second one!

Yeah! She's full of fight and spirit! ]

[ ...And that just makes her so teaseable. ] Yeah, I wanted to see if you'd really burn your tongue...

action; ♥! And LJ is sloooow so I'ma go shower. :<

[blastiafreak]

[And the trailers will be such a tease!!

And no tsun!!]

[...Sob.] H-hey! You wouldn't dare-!

action; ♥! sob, it really is... I'm grabbing lunch.

[stargathering]

[ So mean! And maybe misleading! ]

[ Rita? Never! ]

[ >;3 ] I did warn you...

action; ♥! sob yes ;_; Enjoy! o/

[blastiafreak]

[Oh, definitely misleading~

It's unthinkable!]

[So mean...] I heard! W-what, you think I'd just go and do it anyway?

action; ♥! Thanks! :'>

[stargathering]

[ Oh~? How misleading?

Too ridiculous to believe! ]

[ Not at all! ] Maybe. You can be stubborn sometimes.

action; ♥! :3

[blastiafreak]

[As misleading as possible...?!

No one even thinks of it!]

[:<] Hey...Stubborn or not, I can tell when something's hot!

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ bad ends! scandalous! broken hearts! revenge!

It's just that far out there!! ]

That's true... You're more impatient in this case.

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Returns from the dead...!

And completely impossible!]

I-I am not!

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ In the most miraclous way!

Even to think of! ]

I guess not... The drinks should be okay now. [ sip! ]

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[So miraculous, it might just be left a mystery!!

Nobody ever does!]

[She waits and watches Tyr take his sip before she lifts the cup to her lips and takes a cautious sip...followed by a gulp.]

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ !! I hate when that happpens!!

No even weirdos! ]

[ He smiles when she does. Delicious hot chocolate. ] ...But I would make this for you whether you were going to burn your tongue or not.

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[I know right!!

It's just too weird for them!]

[She's caught between tsun and dere...! So she ends up blushing and mumbling a slightly indignant reply.] As if I'd burn my tongue, anyway...

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ How can they do that?! :_;

It's just that bad!!]

[ Both tsun and dere? That's an accomplishment! ] Right, right. You'd never do that.

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[To be cruel!! ...Or lazy.

It really is!!]

[Is he proud?!] O-of course I wouldn't... [Abruptly, she puts her half-empty cup down a table and heads over to the grinder.] Anyway, it's been long enough.

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ ...They should stop being both. :<

It shouldn't even be mentioned! ]

[ He is!! When she abruptly changes, he remembers that they were actually working. ] Ah, right... Is it time to add the metal?

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Down with plot holes...! :<

Right! Shhh....]

[She nods and indicates another beaker of liquid she left next to it, while she moves to a small, lit burner where she left the metal to melt down.] Yeah. Go ahead and add that base to neutralize the acid, and then we'll add this.

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ Yeah-! >:'< They're terrible!

...! Also class soon... ;_; ]

...Okay. [ It takes him a minute to understand what she means, but soon grabs it to add in. It still feels like something childish. ] What exactly is all this, though?

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Awful...! :<

!!! Aw, okay! Have fun! ;3;]

[She uses a pair of tongs to swirl the hot metal, glancing back at him curiously.] What is it? Well, the machine and acid grind up the leaves. They should be ready by now, so we don't want it to stay acidic. We'll mix the metal in, flatten it, and let it dry.

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ Horrible...

Sh! Thanks! ;v; Wasn't bad at all! ]

...Oh. [ Nope, not getting it. ] Right. [ Well, he'll just add it. Not like he wants acidic paper. ] They don't take that long to dry, either, do they?

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[The worst...:<

Aw, good! And welcome back! :3]

[...She kind of has a feeling he might not get it from the way he answers. She puts on some thick, heat-resistant mittens, turns off the flame, and comes over with the metal.] Just a couple hours.

Is there something else you want to know?

action; ♥!

[stargathering]

[ And gross, too.

Thanks! :D I hope your exams are just as easy-! ]

[ Since she's asking- ] ...How does it work? What does all this have to do with mana?

action; ♥!

[blastiafreak]

[Just all-around terrible. :<

Thank you~ I hope so, too!]

Oh, that... [She goes ahead and starts adding the molten metal while she tries to explain.] The leaves we put in are from a plant that's especially sensitive to mana, so even after we mix it up like this, the paper fibers still react. They react with the metal, change the number of electrons in the metal, and change the way it absorbs light. So we see a colour change.
