Realizing with some alarm that her own personal research queue was piling up at an alarming rate, Han then decided to get some of it out of the way before even more ideas began popping around in her head. This time, though, she decided to call over someone in order to assist her; and she was smirking all the while as she was now scrolling through her Friends list; before finding the one she needed and quickly ending him a message to come over to her ‘hidey hole’ and help her out with this attempt. After all, he did agree to help me out with this… she thought as she then closed out the interface with a few swipes here and there; before getting the ingredients she needed to use all prepared. She’d gone out earlier and bought some additional ingredients to use just in case this went wrong; since her own meager supply was already running low. She knew that having a well-stocked inventory of items was always a good idea; so she’d gone and blown most of her ‘pocket money’ on some higher-quality items; and the paper bag that contained said items were now laid out and ready. Of course, the rest of the work space was already prepared and ready to go; the chopping board was now located near her; along with the two glass ‘mixing bowls’ that she needed in order to steep or distill liquid mixtures; as well as the ‘pot’ and the wooden stirrer that went along with it. She had also gone and built a small fire off to one side; and it was now crackling and apparently waiting for the pot to be placed atop it… “Now where could he be…” she muttered to herself, quickly reaching for a stack of notes that she’d been taking note of; she had already brewed the reverse of the Paralysis Mix that she’d ingested before in order to make the Anti-Stun Tablets; now she was going to make the actual paralyzing solution itself… hopefully he doesn’t mind taking a taste of it because I really need to know how it would affect humans; considering we can’t have practice mobs to use them on… she thought with a cringe as she finished preparing the work space and then began pulling out ingredients that she was going to use in order to make the reverse of the Anti-Stun Tablets. Lucky I had the presence of mind to keep the damned notes of the earlier mix, otherwise Id be literally going in blind here… she thought to herself as she then selected one bottle of what looked like ordinary tap water, tapping it to make sure that there were no air bubbles; as well as two Herbs that had this peculiar odor about them; it made her own nose twitch; she then looked away and then sneezed! Dang it, I think I’m allergic… she thought to herself as she then faced the work space and then finally plucked one of the Mana Fragments as well. She then started searching for a piece of scrap paper that she could use in order to take note of the recipe that she was going to use and began writing down the ingredients that she’d already set aside so far.

I will hunt you down... Snoozing under a tree that was growing out of the window of an abandoned building a young fox tail found himself enjoying a relaxing nap, he would shuffle around in his sleep just a bit as his body rolled over to its side. He would want to sleep through, but it seemed his nap was going to be interrupted by the familiar chime that would ring into his ears when he received a message opening his eyes slowly he would look towards the floating envelope. Pressing it Bunji would soon have a message opened in front of him, his red eyes went over the contents of the message causing the male to smile when he saw who it was from. "Heh...guess its time for me to keep my word" he said to himself in a whisper before pushing up from the ground which he was laying on, he would adjust the collar of his cloak as he threw the hood off his head allowing the sun to shine on his face. Closing his eyes the man turned away for a moment letting his sleepy eyes adjust to the light before he began making his way through the ruined streets of the safe city, he was going to where the directions instructed him to go. Bunji moved with decent speed as he sped along his katana tightly held in place, and the end of his cloak dancing wildly at the ankles of his feet. With a few hops here, and a few creative ways to get through the obstacles of the ruined city he would soon find himself at the entrance of the place he believed Hanelli would be in. Bunji would come across a large horizontal window that was wide open, with a low duck of the head he stepped into the area, landing on the ground below just between two bookshelves. Bunji would eye the condition of the books, torn, old, and filthy; along with the rest of this place it was decaying, he was surprised this place was even still standing. He would begin walking, wondering where he could find Hanelli until suddenly a loud sneeze startled him the male would however smirk as he figured who was the culprit behind that sneeze. Picking up his pace he made his way towards where he heard the sneeze, Bunji would turn a corner then head towards an entrance where he could see there once was a door stepping into it he stepped into a room that surprised him. It was like a whole new world, the way the place was set up reminded him of the laboratory of a famous doctor from lore who brought a man to life who was made of different pieces from different corpses. Bunji would then spot the girl sitting at the table as she worked away at whatever it was that had caught her attention, he would walk over to her standing to her right hand side his hands down at his side as he soon put one on her shoulder. "Hey there braniac, ready to start these tests?" he asked her as he inched his face close to what she was doing eying the herbs curiously, feeling an itch on his nostrils Bunji leaned his head back. Turning away Bunji sneezed, rubbing his nose as he blinked he turned towards Han "Jeez...what is that?" he asked referring to the herb that had just caused him to sneeze. He was already second guessing this choice but at the same time he had given her his word, he wouldn't chicken out now; besides he got to spend more time with Hanelli that was never a bad thing. "How long until its ready?" he added suddenly as he stood there watching her work.

She was feeling her nose twitch even more; due to being around that particular herb she’d decided to include with the solution that she was working on right now, it was making the backside of her nose tickle! Ah, crap… not now… she thought as she turned away and let another sneeze fly; before turning her attention back to the work that was in front of her. She had to let this ‘recipe’ cook over the fire, so she then stopped what she was doing at the moment and added on to the rudimentary notes that she had for the recipe and then turned her attention back to the lone Mana Fragment she’d decided to use; after a few moments of shuffling around she had slapped on some gloves and had picked up the Fragment with a pair of tongs and had deposited it in the bowl when she felt a hand on her shoulder; and heard a sneeze that definitely didn’t belong to her. “Ah, you’re here… that’s good,” she said, not looking up from her work; she was now concentrated on the Fragment that she was now grinding into a fine powder. “Well… As for the thing that’s making us sneeze like crazy? I’m not sure, but I think it’s ivy of some sort. Hopefully it’s not the poisonous kind, but I’d know about that right way…” she trailed off. “Have to grind up the Mana Fragment along with this in order to draw out its innate properties…” she continued as she let the pestle do the rest of the talking, watching as the shining, shimmering fragment got ground up into even tinier shining, shimmering particles. One slip and that would be a huge mistake… she thought to herself, remembering that the Fragments would melt right away on human contact. I wonder if it’s possible to actually hold these things… she continued to herself as she then looked at the pestle and saw that she was now faced with gritty, glowing powder. “Time for the next step…” she said to herself, seeing that the redhead had made himself comfortable on what she passed off as a ‘couch’ in her ‘living space’. She then picked up the bottle of Solvent and then dumped all of its contents into the clear glass bowl, tapping it so that there would be no air bubbles. She then continued the process by hefting up the bowl in one hand; and then tipping it over the surface of the water; making sure to empty out only half of its contents. Once she was sure that the water had been infused with enough of the powdered fragment, she then placed the pestle back down and picked up one of the Herbs and then crossed over to the chopping board. “This isn’t going to take too long. Don’t be crazy and drink the entire thing, I just need you to taste it, okay?” she said in his general direction, chopping up the Herb with the chopping knife and making sure that it was shredded just right. Once she was halfway done with chopping up this Herb, she then crinkled her nose as she picked up the other Herb (the one that made the both of them sneeze) and then crossed back to the bowl where the standing water had now seemingly taken on a shimmering quality… one that sparkled quite ominously. She then proceeded to shred up the other Herb and watched as the flakes dropped into the mixture; before picking up the glass stirrer and swilling the solution together. Once she had done this, she then went back to the chopping board and picked it up; before going back to where the mortar and pestle were; and then carefully sliding the knife across the surface, letting the chopped herb mix with the remainder of the Fragment. Once this step was done, she then picked up the mortar again, and proceeded to pound the remaining mixture together, whistling all the while. While she was doing this, she then spoke up, “Do you want to know what I’m trying to make here?”

[bunji]

I will hunt you down... Well that did not put him at ease very much, instead he was more worried than before the girl didn't even know what it was she was making? He would blink a few times sitting down on the couch letting his body relax as he waited, and well listened to her words as she explained the situation of what she was doing. He would rest his elbow on the arm rest of the couch, letting his face find comfort in the palm of his hand he would eye the girl for a moment quietly listening to her as she explained what she was doing. She would also explain what she was doing as well as answer his questions, Bunji could not help but let his mind wander as he began to think of other things. One such thing being the guild, the plan that he had formulated for it Hanelli had once mentioned them being able to create a guild together so that they could bring together like minded players to march under the same banner. All of them a group of adventurers looking only to better themselves are warriors, and to explore this vast new world that they were stuck in. Bunji would remain quiet the entire time his mind sweeping him away from reality, unaware of his surroundings for the moment he let his thoughts catch his entire attention. That is of course until Hanelli talked to him again, her familiar voice breaking him from the trance his red eyes would come down from the ceiling they stared at to look at the ninja girl as she explained how she wanted him to just take a taste, not drink the entire solution she was making. "Sure" he replied, she seemed so consumed by her work that he figured there was no reason to distract her with senseless conversation instead he remained quiet as he let his eyes focused on the girl for a moment. A pair of red eyes would be glued to her features taking in the details of her face, and her body; he had to admit Hanelli was cute, she was pleasant to the eyes he could see that there was a physical attraction here. There was something pulling him towards her, the male would smirk shutting his eyes to pull them from the image of he ninja girl, why was he doing this to himself? Why was he chasing this hopeless goal? Leaning back on the couch, he would sigh internally knowing that what he wanted, what he was doing well...it was a recipe for disaster if it didn't go the right way. The male would understand that there was the chance for getting hurt here, there was the exposure to being shut down, and crushed by this girl what if she didn't like him back? 'Theres always a risk with this stuff...guess I just have to take the leap of faith some time' he thought to himself when suddenly hearing her address him again, '...today's not that day' he echoed in his head as he sat up off the couch cushion. "Well yeah, I was kind of expecting you to tell me anyways, I mean I am going to be testing that stuff out no?" he said with a chuckle as he allowed his body to be cradled on the cushions of the couch. Bunji would push up from the couch letting his body stand upright at its full height, taking his katana from his waist earlier he had rested it against the arm rest of the couch letting it sit there as he walked over to the black haired ninja girl. "So...what is it?" he asked her crossing his arms over his chest.

"When the cat's away, I'll definitely play." ☒ Bunji ✐ 887 ✉ Researching: Paralysis Mix 3 / 3 Ingredients Used: 1 Impure Solvent (lv.6) 2 Base Herbs (lv.7) 1 Mana Fragment MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS

Now that Han was pounding the shredded Herb together with the remains of the Fragment, she then spoke up, making sure to grind everything together in order to unleash the maximum potency. “I’m trying to make a Paralysis Mix. Of course, its potency depends on the level of the items I’m using right now to make it… but these Mana Fragments don’t do too much now except amplify the effect of whatever they come in contact with,” she said, giving him the short-hand explanation of what she was doing. Of course, the guy who had sold her his excess Mana Fragments gave her that additional piece of information as well, so she continued to grind the remaining mixture in the bowl until it was a powder so fine, the initial shimmering blue glow from it was turning a shade of dark purple. “Wonder what happens if I toss this into the fire…” she said to herself as she then looked at the mixture that was standing in the bowl; because even that one had changed color. She knew that she was getting pretty close to the end point of making this mixture, so she then walked over to the little ‘fire’ that she had going, and picked up the ‘pot’ that she was going to use to cook the mixture in. “This is going to get interesting,” she said with a grin as she then placed the pot over the fire; before going back to the table and then picking up the bowl that had the shimmering mixture in it. She then tipped its contents over into the maw of the utensil, and heard the liquid splash against the inside of the pot. Once that had been done, she then went over to another space around the table and set the bowl down; before picking up the second, smaller bowl where she was grinding up the dry mixture. She had to let the liquid component come to a slow boil first, so she then moved the smaller bowl closer to the edge of the table; before returning to where the liquid was now stewing, and picking up a randomly abandoned piece of cardboard and then fanning the coals. “I have to cook it first to ensure it’ll be effective. Otherwise, it wouldn’t work at all, plus it smells… weird right now,” she added, feeling her nose tickle again! She then turned away and gave another sneeze; before turning her attention back to the coals, which she was now currently fanning in order to get their temperature to rise. After several minutes of frenetic fanning, the coals lit up with a blaze of light; and she then heard the liquid inside begin to gurgle and bubble. “Perfect,” she said with a grin, tossing the cardboard to one side before heading back toward the work space where the mortar awaited. Setting the pestle off to one side, she then picked up the mortar with both hands before crossing the room and then finally reaching the bubbling pot; and with one smooth move, tipped the contents of the mortar into the bubbling ooze below, hearing a hissing noise as solid met bubbling magical liquid. She then crossed the room once again and then dropped out a wooden stirrer from her inventory, and then stuck it into the pot before stretching her arms out. “You must think I look like a witch or something. To be honest, people get that impression whenever they see Pharmacists like me hunched over pots like this over a fire… all we’re missing are the warts, the pointy hat, and the funny accent,” she said, trying to toss some humor around as she rolled up the sleeves of her short jacket before taking the wooden stirrer into her hands and mixing the two solutions together. She could hear hissing coming from the pot, but paid it no mind. However, she kept an eye on the swirling solution; she knew she had to stop at a certain point before it thickened and became a paste. After around five minutes of continuous stirring, she then hefted the pot off the fire; hissing as she was only wearing thin gloves and not the thick heavy-duty ones that she was supposed to be wearing when handling hot objects! Anyway, she had now placed the steaming pot on the work space table; and had already dropped out a small bottle along with a funnel and a ladle; because she now had to bottle the concoction. She then let the pot stand for another three minutes or so; and once it was cool to the touch, she then popped the cork of the bottle, stuck the funnel in, and began ladling the liquid into the bottle itself. She then watched as slowly but surely, it filled up; and once it was full, there was approximately enough for a taste-test. The moment of truth! She thought to herself as she then whistled in his direction, calling him over to her side and then holding out the ladle that still had enough for approximately a teaspoon’s worth of liquid for him to taste. “Can you… can you try that for me, tell me how it tastes, see if it would work?” she asked, handing him the ladle that was now cool to the touch.

[bunji]

I will hunt you down... "Paralysis?" he asked not really asking more like echoing what she had said, he would sigh realizing just how much into the mud he had stepped, he was seriously going to try something that was meant to paralyze people he would be lying if he said he was not entirely nervous about this. But he also trusted the girl to have some sort of back up in case he ended up falling over like a stiff board, when the girl seemed to finish the mixture she poured it somewhere ready to be tasted he was sure. He would wait for her to finish whatever other preparations she needed to make to the mix, when she motioned for him to come over he walked over dropping his arms to his side Bunji would stop next to Han staring at what she was doing. Once it was ready she would hand him the ladle, Bunji took it from her hands giving her a nod as she spoke "No worries, I'll let you know...if it doesn't paralyze me" he said with a chuckle that stemmed more from being nervous than anything else. With a deep inhale, the male would sigh before bringing the edge of the ladle to his lips leaning his head back as he let the liquid pour into his mouth, Bunji would shut his eyes, and count his stars as he wished that nothing would happen to him being paralyzed would be a really shitty feeling. The liquid would wash over his taste buds he focused on the flavor, trying to distract his head from the thoughts of multiple disastrous, and potentially traumatizing events that could unfold from this going wrong. Once the liquid had passed through his mouth he brought the ladle back handing it to Han, "Well...that was uh..." he paused trying his best to find the right words to describe what he had just tasted, "Well...it doesn't taste bad. Its a bit on the sour side but it's nothing terrible, and its not so overwhelming that it repels..." he would then pause again as he felt his legs start tingling, "Heh..uhm...one thing Han..." he said to her raising a hand to try to get the words out, but then literally fell over with a loud thud his body impacting the ground hard the large sound of a thundering thud echoing into the large room. "Uh...I think...Im paralyzed..." he said as he tried to move, it was doable but his muscles felt stiff, and it actually hurt to move his limbs. "Uhm...anything...you can do?" he asked from the floor giving her a weak sheepish grin feeling a bit embarrassed that this happened in front of his crush.

Han was now in the process of cleaning up her work space; she had now carried off the pot along with the corresponding wooden stirrer to the lone working “sink” she’d discovered in one of the rooms in the place she was currently ‘croaching’ on; it was kind of ironic that it had a tap that would gush water at times, yet at other times it would be absolutely empty. She knew that he’d taken the ladle and had taken the sample she’d given him; and she was now bustling back and forth from the ‘wash room’ when she heard him commenting about the taste of the liquid he’d just sampled. Apparently, all it took was a few moments for the ‘concoction’ to take effect; and then a loud thudding noise echoed throughout the vicinity! She then stopped bringing the dirty wares to the ‘wash room’ and then rushed over to him; he looked like he’d just simply decided to lie down on the floor; however she could tell that he was struggling to pull himself up and off the floor! “Gah! Ohmygod I am so sorry for forgetting to warn you to move closer to the cough before drinking that!” she said, making her way over to where he was sprawled; she could see that he as really trying to fight off the effects of the Mix, yet he wasn’t succeeding. “Maybe I should write the label to read as, ‘takes effect within seconds’…” she muttered to herself as she sighed before flexing her arms, and then dragging his somewhat limp, if heavy figure towards the couch which he’d just evacuated a few moments ago. After several moments of struggling to place him in the correct position on the couch, she then flopped onto the floor and tried to catch her breath. “Man, I never knew you were that bulky,” she said, wiping the sweat off of her forehead. She then flexed her legs a few times before pulling herself up and continuing to bring out the used paraphernalia she’d just finished with. “The effects should wear off eventually, I just hope that it doesn’t take too long because there’s a difference between using this against players and on monsters around. You never know if someone would end up making this mix only to use it in assassination plots, that kind of stuff…” she trailed off, and the sound of sputtering then came from the small side room where she’d hidden herself. Sooner or later, there was a trickling sound that became a steady gush of water as she then washed and rinsed out all of the items that she’d used for this instance. Sometime later, she then emerged carrying an armload full of Pharmacist ‘gear’ and began piling them up again on the work space; since she wasn’t exactly done with making stuff yet. “I hope you can grin and bear with me,” she began, re-assembling the now sparkling work space, “…because I have a few more ideas I’d like to test with you. Don’t worry, it’s not going to permanently maim you or anything,” she said with a sheepish tone in her voice; before turning back to the couch to check if he was alright. She then went through her Inventory and then managed to pull out an apple, one of the last she’d gotten from hunting those boars down some time ago, and tossed it in his direction, hoping that he could catch it. “Heads up,” she said with a grin.

[bunji]

I will hunt you down... He was at the mercy of the effects of the potion she had fed him the young man remained on the floor unable to move that is of course until the girl came rushing to his aid; lucky for him she was able to drag him over to the couch, pulling him up best she could. All the while Bunji was trying to figure out why he had agreed to do this? An internal sigh escaped him as he was dragged onto the couch dropped there by the girl who positioned him into place, as much as he appreciated the help this was still a painful sensation his stiff muscles being moved, and squeezed by her hands when she tried to reposition them. When she was done he wanted to sigh in relief as the pain stopped, at least he was on the cushioned couch he was thankful for that the young man would remain quiet unable to speak all he could do was listen to Han speak. His eyes following her body movements, when she was finally gone he would begin to focus closing his eyes, and taking a deep series of breaths as he allowed his body to relax hopefully distracting him from the fact that he was stuck! Bunji would wait until the effects began to wear out he was able to move finally, and he was able to speak luckily he had some stuff to say "Yeah...it may not maim me" he said to the girl as he slowly began to sit up, his body resting on the couch cushions. "...but that doesn't make the sensation any less horible" he commented to the girl as he reached up rubbing the back of his neck, great he felt all his muscles stiff. So much so that when he heard her talk he looked up just in time to see the apple being tossed at him Bunji would catch it with his hand holding the red apple in his hand. Looking at it he bit down on the damn thing letting the juices wash over his taste buds as he stood up from the couch, walking over he set the apple down after that one bite leaving it on the table with Han. "...just message me when you have another mixture to test out" he said to her as he turned to start walking away from her, making his way out of the library.
