Han wanted to cut down on her current “Research Queue” since it was just so long at the moment; so she decided to get on with it and continue with the queue. She needed to cut at least one of them off the list; so she decided to go with what she was going to christen as the “Confusion Solution”; the effects of which were up becomes down, left becomes right… a complete reversal of a person’s in-game motor functions. She knew that this was partially inspired by a certain person from a certain animated series who was part of a certain court guard; and that the power of his weapon reflected the madness that she was just about to brew and try to translate into Elder Tale-“approved” limits. Well, the ingredients of the other stuff I’ve made is just so complicated, might as well make this one a mish-mash of everything… she thought to herself as she prepared the working space by first giving it a clean and thorough wipe down. After she was done making the working table glisten and sparkle as much as she could make it, she then proceeded to drop things out from her inventory; first came the mortar and pestle that was starting to look extremely battered but still serviceable; followed by the chopping board along with its knife; several small, empty bottles with corks; along with a glass stirrer and two bowls. After she had assembled most of everything, she then went over to the “outdoor kitchen” (which was just actually another part of the place she was staying in temporarily, at least until they got their own “official” guild HQ) and then started another fire. It took her several minutes to do so; but once it was done, there was now a fire crackling on the pile of charcoal and burned books that she’d used to temporarily have a “cooking center” for distilling and heating her concoctions. She then dropped out a pot, which could easily pass off for a cauldron, along with a wooden spoon that also doubled as its accompanying stirrer as well. She then dropped out a pair of working gloves and then slipped them on; before hefting the pot atop the fire. Seeing that this recipe would involve a lot of stirring, she decided to empty out the bottle of Impure Solvent into the maw of the “cauldron”, and left it to simmer so that all the impurities would bubble away. She then returned to the work space table; and then began dropping out the rest of the contents of her inventory; which were the rest of the ingredients that she was going to use. After careful thinking, she decided to make the Solution with at least one of every existing available ingredient that there was; therefore she selected an Impure Tablet, as well as a Base Herb. She then picked up the tongs and fished around for the bag of Mana Shards that she had on her; and carefully extracted one piece and set that aside as well. “Okay, now what?” she muttered to herself; before quickly picking up the herb that she’d chosen and then laid it on the chopping board; and then picked up the knife and began the process of “chopping” it up into rough pieces; because she was going to toss this ingredient first into the pot that was now boiling away in a corner. While she was doing so, she decided to send a certain red-headed individual a message, and this is what it said in brief; “Bun, can I ask for your help again? I’m going to be brewing another Potion thing, and I need someone to test it for me. Are you available?” She then set the knife down in order to shift through her Interface; before sending the message off to its intended recipient. She then resumed the motion of chopping up the herb so that she could at least have it added to the pot once her companion, who was now also her boyfriend and first-in-command, arrive onsite.

I will hunt you down... The familiar chime of a newly received message would ring to life in the quiet atmosphere that he found himself meditating in, quickly opening his red eyes would take in the obvious envelope symbol that floated just inches from his face. A hand raised from the red heads lap as he tapped it with his fingers opening the envelope to reveal a brief message from his girlfriend, and go to adventuring buddy. A pair of sharp red eyes would read over the content of the message once he was done he would shut his eyes in silence a smile crept onto his features, and his tail would say side to side with a gentle motion. How could it not? Anything that had to do with Hanelli always seemed to have this reaction from him, already knowing where he had to go he would close his interface pushing himself up to one knee then standing fully upright. Reaching for his katana Bunji would push the weapon into his waistline, holstering the scabbard in between his belt, and his pants with his dark cloak resting over his shoulders he began to move from the under the tree which he had found in a quiet corner away from the main street. Bunji walked with a steady pace, his mind wandered from thought to thought each thought had its place, and each thought needed a solution. But for now Bunji would set them aside he was already at the library where he was to meet Hanelli, where she had her small corner where he was supposed to go work with her on this new potion; with a shake of the head he pushed the door to the abandoned library open. Letting himself in, Bunji began walking down the long quiet hallways of this once great establishment with the front door shut behind him he would only hear the sound of his boot with every step on this old wooden floor. It was not until Bunji reached the entrance to the place that he knew all too well, the small room he was about to step into was where he had tested Hanelli's old potion the one that had paralyzed him. Shuttering at the thought he would walk in looking around the mad doctors laboratory. "Hanelli?" he called out taking a few steps further in, wondering where she was.

Han had now gotten to chopping up the herb in a manner that was reminiscent of shredding parsley whenever the “decorative vegetable” would be used for making marbled potatoes, she had completely lost track of time and was now pounding her knife against the chopping board. Once she realized that she was hitting more wood than herb, she took one look down at what she was chopping and saw that it had actually been chopped up so fine she could use it as an additional garnishing. ”Oops, completely forgot…” she continued to herself as she then picked up the knife in one hand, chopping board in the other and then walked over to where the liquid was now simmering over what she assumed was a low fire. She then slid the knife across the surface of the chopping board, and then watched as the mashed-up herb she’d been working on slid off and then hit the surface of the liquid, where a loud hissing issued the moment solid made contact with liquid. “Right, mix appropriately…” she muttered to herself as she picked up the wooden stirrer, hefted up the sleeves of her jacket, and then began stirring it in a certain direction, for a certain number of times. She watched as the ground-up herb slowly dissolved itself into the liquid, and watched as the liquid then started changing color; from its naturally colorless state it was now a nice shade of forest-green. Hmm, must be the effect of the herb I used… she thought to herself as she gave the liquid solution another stir, before setting the stirrer off to one side of the pot’s mouth and then returning to the work space and then looking at the tablet and the Mana fragment that she had decided to add to the entire thing. “Grind up this part with the tablet, then toss into liquid…” she continued to herself, shuffling through her inventory and then dropping out a piece of scratch paper as well as the old quill she’d mooched off from a Scribe not too long ago. Soon, the sound of quill-tip scratching across the paper filled the residence; and with that sound she thought she’d heard the door open and the shut itself. Oh yeah, I called him over. Good thing to know he’s here… she continued as she then stopped writing the recipe that she’d come up with so far; then examining it. Seeing that the recipe was shaping up quite nicely, she then returned to the work space; picking up the tongs and then dropping the Mana fragment into the bowl when she heard his familiar dulcet tones within the area. “Hey there,” she began, feeling her own face turn red for a few moments before picking up the Tablet and then dropping it into the mortar, and then placing the tongs to one side and picking up the pestle in order to start pounding the two ingredients together. “Make yourself comfortable. I swear, this one isn’t going to be as… crazy as the other one I made you taste the last time you were here. In fact, the solution to this is quite easy…” she trailed off, pounding the two together, so that the naturally shimmering blue of the Fragment was mixed with the powdery white of the Tablet that she was going to make into a fine solution before adding it to the simmering solution in the pot not too far away. “It… well, you’ll see what I mean once I’m done making this. This isn’t going to hurt too much… I hope,” she ended with a sheepish look on her face as she continued to pound the two solid ingredients together, mixing their properties up. Also, I wonder what color the thing I’m making would turn into once I add the powder mix to it? She thought to herself, making a mental note to add the next steps to the recipe she’d written down so far. After a few more moments of silent pounding, she stopped what she was doing and then snatched up the quill again, and added in the next steps so that she wouldn’t forget what she was doing!

I will hunt you down... Bunji would smile at Hanelli as he spotted her when she welcomed him he would nod towards her "Hey" he said with a wave walking over to his girlfriends side watching from over her shoulder as she worked on the potion putting together the necessary items she needed in order to make this liquid. Bunji had to admit to himself despite the smile on his face, and the joy he felt being around Hanelli; well he just couldn't say that he was entirely comfortable with this the last experience had been less than amazing. Despite Hanelli's reassuring words, the red haired fox tail could not shake off the worry that was swelling inside him causing some butterflies to flutter in his stomach. Standing there he quietly kept waiting as the girl continued to work away at the potion talking to herself evidently. He figured that's how she worked, he was no different from time to time he found himself talking to himself as he worked on a new set of armor or anything of the sort. The male would take this chance to have a look around his girlfriends work station, with his hands behind his back one hand gripping the wrist he would walk around her table looking at the many herbs that came in different shapes, colors, and sizes; but also looking at the many tools of her trade. This was impressive, but it also looked complicated if he was thrown into a situation where he had to work with these tools he would be unable to put together a decent potion even if his life depended on it. Returning back to Hanelli's side once he had circled around her table that was littered with notes, tools, and herbs amongst other things; he would look at her smiling wanting to hug her but knowing he would not be able to without disrupting her work. "So is it ready to go?" he asked her curiously but at the same time nervously.
