(All the composure he had carefully crafted for his introduction shattered. His professional and mature demeanor was quickly eviscrated at the sound of his pet name. His eyes widened open and he appeared incredibly flustered.) SH-SHE TOLD YOU THAT?!
Ameria: laughs Yep!
Ragnor: Simply nods in agreement with the rest
Mm, indeed, she did mention someone called 'Lemon'
Least I think I heard that correctly
Imruck: looks to Ragnor
Yea, she did say Lemon
Ragnor: Shrugs
Eh, I have heard worse names, and have been called worse as well
Mizu: Also cherry.
Chesh laughed. "Yep! And how you call her grape!" She explained.
BUT THAT’S PRIVATE! WH-WHY?! SH-SHE CAN’T- I DON’T- AHGG! (He slumps down on the couch and put his head down in his hands. He can’t believe she would just out privates and secrets like that! She so unpredictable… it is her charm though. He takes off his glasses and begins to clean them with his robe fabric.) My apologies. It’s incredibly rude to not introduce oneself upon arrival. (He places his glasses back on his face.) My name is Philip. I’m a witch and master alchemist. I’m second in command to the Wicken Convent of my world. It is nice to meet you all. (He hopes that they’ll just flood over his slight panic.)
Ragnor: Lifts his arm, giving a two fingered salute with his left, good arm
Pleasure Philip
Imruck: Tilts his head again
Mizu: What?
Chesh sticks out her hand, now upside down. "Chesh." She said trying to push her long hair out of her face.
Ameria: Why am I the only human?
Mizu: Might not?
Max coughs: You're not the only human, actually.
Ameria: Oof…That's good then.
Max: Yeppers
Mizu: I told you Ameria.
Ameria: Shush
Ah. Chesh. (He goes to shake her hand.) Hel has told me plenty about you. “The coolest of cats” she says. (He looks over at Max.) She calls you “a bro beyond bro standards”.
Ragnor: Chuckles, watching when a green glow appears on his shoulder, appearing soon as Eve
Eve: Looks towards him
Hey, got some business that needs to be attended to
Ragnor: Gives a nod, looking to Imruck
Alright, thanks Eve
Imruck, let's head back. I'm sure you're hungry
Imruck: at the mention of being 'hungry' seems to leap up
Yes! Starving!
Ragnor: Chuckles, glancing back
Business again, might be back around again
Later
Gives a slight wave, leaving
Imruck: Follows closely behind Ragnor, disappearing with him
Max finger guns: Well, Hel isn't wrong.
Chesh laughed. "That's adorable that Hel thinks of me like that." She said. "Where did Hel go anyway?"
She er- well… Our convent sometimes gets unpleasant visits from hostile Draconians. And it's usually her favorite pastime to pummel them into the ground with a brute force expected from a gorilla. (He explains it all rather nonchalantly.) After that she has to attend several important meetings, which she dreads. So she'll be gone for a bit. (He crosses his legs on and looks at Chesh from the brim of his glasses.) You look human, but something tells me you're not. How is that?
Chesh shrugged. "I am human. Well mostly. It's hard to explain." She said as she rubbed the back of her neck. "I was put through somethings that no one should ever be put through." She said looking away from him. "I can explain but it might be a bit confusing."
(Philip waves his hand dismissively.) Now, now. Hel has told me you underwent severe genetic reconstruction of your biological structure and as a result acquired several powers, including levitation and invisibility. I want to know if this affected your humanity in anyway. Do you still feel human after that? Or do you consider yourself one no longer? (He asked this all rather straightforwardly, as if he was interviewing Chesh.)
Chesh sat there for a moment, contemplating this. "No. I don't feel human anymore but it's not because of the experiments. I don't think." She said, scratching her head.. "Damn! That's a hard question to answer."
Hmm… how… (He paused a moment, looking for the right words.) mildly concerning… (He scanned her a bit longer, as if figuring out a puzzle.) Were you imbued with something of magic or of science?
"Both I think." She said trying to think. "I was way to young when the experiments were going on and I don't like to visit the lab unless I have to." She explained. "They used science stuff to kill the others and put there magical essence into me. Does that make sense?" She asked.
(Philip nodded his head up to indicated he understood.) Have you undergone any malignant or damaging effects from the magic they put into you? It's effect on a human's mental orientation results in insanity, psychosis, and other sorts of disorders. (Now he sounds like a physician.) This all may sound invasive, but I merely want to know if you have experienced any negative result from this "artificially implanted magic". (He chose those last words with the carefulness of a scholar.)
