[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!]

[And they never will!! :< (Okay! :D Sounds good!)

[And now that gives her a reason to grin at him.] Afraid I'll leave you alone?

[ Nope nope nope! Never. ;_; (Yay! :D Gremio~♥) ]

[ That smile... ] I wasn't until now... [ ...But you put the paper in the container and go over to the...whatever that thing was that was holding the mana... ]

[Never ever!! (Eee, Young Master~♥)]

But now you are. [All the smirking...Although she does barely stop herself from pointing out little nitpicky things, like saying she holds the paper this way instead of that way. (Which has nothing to do with anything but Rita being fussy...)]

[ Definitely!! (/cliiiing~! also omg did we just go through 200 comments in under a week...) ]

You're smiling like you want to... [ Or like she wants to see him squirm... He doesn't see anything wrong with his carefreee way of working! But now is the cool part where he gets to add the mana... ]

[anjksd wow I think you're right! This threeeead~♥]

[Maybe she just wants to make him squirm a liiiittle bit. She keeps her promise to stand back as she watches him work, casually remarking-] I'd have to show you which materials were explosive before I did that.

[ This thread forever~♥ I just realised when the email stack was getting close to 100 again... |D; ]

[ ...But now her standing back is unsettling. ] Don't joke around like that. If this stuff was explosive, you should have said so already.

[Eee~♥ Ahaha, that's a handy way to keep track! I just remember thinking a couple weeks or so ago that we made it over 1000. |D]

[And she keeps looking right at him.] Oh, it's fine. As long as you don't add the wrong chemical, anyway.

[ It's the only way XD Hee, it's always fun to get over a thousand! No regrets at all~ ]

[ He opens his mouth to say there weren't enough to get confused, but then remembered he can't read any of the labels. ] ...I'm relabelling all this later.

[Hee, that's right~ I love this whole thing, from haunted house to cute sleepover and everything! X)]

[Now that throws her for a loop, since she thinks her labels are perfectly fine!] Huh? Why? I already showed you which ones to use.

[ Me too! :'D It's been so much fun going from dramatic to cute and just ;v; The best. ]

Yeah, but the labels are illegible. If you ever get more bottles that look similar, something could go wrong.

[It has. X3 All the best!]

Illegible? I wrote them out myself! How can they be illegible?

[ Definitely ♥ ]

...Pretty easily, now that you mention it...

[♥~]

Maybe you should practice reading!

[ ♥♥! ]

I can read just fine - your handwriting is just sloppy.

[ And suddenly, arguing makes the whole 'attaching the glass to the mana-thing' deal harder. He fumbles around with it. ]

[♥! OH AND BEFORE I FORGET Mastiff really was voiced by Rodoreamon's VA! |D]

[She distracted from retorting as he fumbles with the condenser and reflexively exclaims-] Hey! Careful with that!

[ Oh, cool! :D It's sorta funny they reused the voice actress like that... |D ]

I'm not going to break it! [ But...he'll be even more gentle now. ] It's just not staying in place...

[Aha, isn't it? I can't believe I never noticed that one earlier...]

Just ease them together gently, okay?

[ You just weren't paying enough attention?! :') ]

Okay... [ Gently gently... Okay, there they go. He thinks. He's a little afraid to pull his hands away. ] There. They're fine.

[I guess not! |D]

[She just watches and...sort of tries to encourage.] Then keep going.

[ And now you won't be able to listen to it the same way again... ]

[ It's encouraging enough for him. He slowly pulls his hands away - just in case it falls! - and breathes a quiet sigh of relief when it stays in place. ] All right... I told you I'd be fine with it.

[ ...but just to be careful, he holds it with one hand as he starts to let the mana flow inside. ]

[Never ever again...]]

Hm. So far, so good. [Not that she's trying to imply he won't manage the whole thing.]

[ Rodo is Mastiff of the past... ]

Mm. [ He doesn't take it that way, mostly because he needs the bit of encouragement. But that little hum is the only response she gets while he tries to concentrate on what she did before. Opening the valve, blue fills up the flask, and he has to remind himself that there shouldn't be anything wrong with breathing it in even if he does mess up. ...He stands up straight and keeps his face at a safe distance, though, as he watches the paper. ]

[nansjkd time travel!!]

[Truth be told, Rita hasn't been able to investigate the effects of high mana levels on the body. She's never been one to use live test subjects--even less so after last October--and she's not about to stick her face in it and see if she gets sick. In any case, she stays quiet to let him focus and observes what he does as the mana flows.]

[ See!? It totally makes sense! ]

[ At the moment, all he does is watch silently the mana flow in a mesmerised way. He just assumed that if mana was harmful, Rita would know somehow and warn him, and knowing mana is always in he air makes him think it can't be that bad...

While he paper starts to turn colours, he thinks of something- ] How exact do you think the amount of mana has to be when you make cores?

[With all the time loopy stuff...it does...!]

[She doesn't think there's any danger. Not normally, at least. Even aer was only problematic when it became extremely thick.

At his question, though, she's quick to reply.] That depends on the complexity of the core. The paper functions as a vague estimate--and that's good enough for most of what I've been doing so far--but for some blastia, it needs to be really precise.
