[F1-SP] Innocuous Designs <<EAL: Alchemy>>

Jeeves knocked softly on the NPC's shop door, politely waiting for a response that never came.  Twice more he followed through on courtesy and protocol, before finally finding the nerve to quietly make his way in.

"Hello?"  Barely more than a whisper, his voice failed to carry through the belching and bubbling clatter of various substances in the midst of percolating into some manner of concoction that still seemed suspiciously likely to explode.

"Oh, hi there!  Welcome!  Are you looking for something?"  The young woman running the shop wore a thick leather apron heavily stained and partially melted on the one side.  She had loops and pockets layered all over her outfit, half filled with parchment, containers or other concoctions in various states of stability.

"To learn."  If seemed a simple response, but the implications were far more significant.  Goggles still firmly strapped to his head, Jeeves eyes flitted from phial to filter like a kid in a proverbial candy store, eager to see what each could produce.

"Oh.  You're one of those.  Yes, I do take on students from time to time, but I've no provisions at the moment and..."  Evangeline blinked, the boy having vanished and door subtly closed in his wake.  "Well, that took a lot less time than usual."  Assuming he'd already given up, she merely returned to her work.  Meanwhile, Jeeves was already half way out of town and making a mental list of how best to obtain additional samples of what he'd already seen.

Already out in the fields surrounding the Town of Beginnings, Jeeves' goggle-gagged head swiveled to and fro searching for the perfect site.  Having already outfitted himself with the requisite experimental gear and supplies, the protocols were laid out in explicit detail in his notebook.  He just needed the proper sample density and type to establish a baseline.  Evangeline would have her fill and he would have his data.  Mutual exchange could be so rewarding when properly prepared and manifest.  These mobs had no idea that they were all little more than guinea pigs, at this point. Just like players had wandered blind into Kayaba's cage.  He remembered his own naiveté from the early days, thinking it all just a stream of effluent data to be parsed, analyzed and ultimately discarded.  Nothing much had changed, he admitted; only roles and goals.  His had changed in the aftermath of Miri and Tython's sudden departure and Quaestor's sublimation into malaise.  It was past time he did something about it.
