Wow, it sure was crazy what happened in that bank heist yesterday! Just like something out of a movie, the crooks were foiled by their own plan. I was really surprised

[Oh hey, he remembers talking to you before.]

I am kind of glad I was not around for it.

[Curious] You used to work with an alchemist, huh? Like science and stuff?

[Voice]

[tiny_schemer]

Pretty much! My guardian was trying to convert base metals into gold. Or find the elixir of life. I learned a lot of things about science and chemistry, but also some of the more... not science-y things.

[alwaysfindsyou]

The elixir of life? Doesn't that grant you immortality?

[Voice]

[tiny_schemer]

It's also called the grand panacea. It's supposed to heal all illnesses and grant eternal life.

You've heard about it? I didn't think there were really alchemists still around...

[Voice]

[alwaysfindsyou]

In stories and legends and things like that.

Well, alchemists really did have a firm existence... not in the 20th century so much, but in the past. There are lots of great alchemical works and alchemy also had a great deal of influence on early chemistry and philosophy.

But people don't really believe in alchemy as a real pursuit anymore. It's occult, weird, or worse. But the traditions still go on here and there.

That's better, really, because if the great world powers got a hold of some of the knowledge alchemists hold, well. A little love potion would hardly be the biggest trouble.
