[Following the Countess's attack on Hevleska's chamber, and everything she'd observed up to now--or maybe just because she feels like it, it's not like you'd get a straight answer if you asked--Cross has found one of the better equipped alchemy labs

[Slinks into the room~]

I know you used to be scientist, but it doesn't take one to know you shouldn't mix a genius mind with alcohol, cho.

[no_ave_maria]

[Bubbling goo goes on glowing mushrooms, it smells like EVIL, which is to sat cotton candy. For some reason.]

I made some of my best creations while drunk. Hand me that.

[Points vaguely in the direction of some tongs.]

[akumaindisguise]

[Blinks, then hands them to her. Even being reverted simply being ordered to do anything makes her naturally react.]

What exactly are you doing?... You're not planning something stupid are you, cho?

[no_ave_maria]

[Takes the tongs and picks up one of those mushrooms with them, approaching the poor golem with an evil look of evil in her eyes.]

Nope.

[Which... Well it's Cross, who knows whether she means it.]

[stillahuman]

[He's feeling like hell. Yet even Tykis can be curious.] What the hell are you doing?

[The Earl acts like this often enough he doesn't have the urge to run for the hills at that smile.]

[no_ave_maria]

Still alive, boy? [Leaves the bubbling thing and goes to the other table to start mixing something.]

How unlucky for you.

[Oh she means that, too. Don't mind--is that arsenic? What is she making?]

[stillahuman]

Very much alive, thank you. [He waves off her comment and leans against a wall. He doesn't feel okay enough to smoke again.]

You didn't answer my question, General.

[no_ave_maria]

[Whatever she's mixing gets dumped into a beaker of something purple and placed over heat, where she stirs it.]

Something should cure what ails you.

[Or turn you into a frog. Her results have not been the most reliable. She blames the dressing room.]

[chibi_walker]

What are you doing, Miss?

[he looks at her with a slightly puzzled look; he's sure she looks somehow familiar]

[no_ave_maria]

[She looks down, takes another drink, and then looks again. God this place will never stop fucking with her.]

Experimenting. Get me that bag.

[She points at a shelf with a blue bag about the size of her hand across the room. Busy stirring over here.]

[chibi_walker]

Okay! [he nips over there and brings back the bag, holding it out for her]

Excuse me, but are you a Miss Cross? I've only ever met Mr Cross here before...

[no_ave_maria]

[She plucks it out of his hands and shakes the contents onto the palm of her glove.]

That's right, Mana. [It's weird to see you so... Small. And sane.]

[fullmetal_allen]

*Alchemy!! This is very relevant to my interests, the sorcery bit of it he doesn't get but the alchemy has him curious and walking over to the experiment*

[no_ave_maria]

[She doesn't even look up, just flaps a hand over her shoulder.]

That beaker boy, quickly.

[She probably means the one with the clear liquid on the table behind her. This is a different sort of alchemy then you practice, but still.]

[fullmetalallen]

*Handing it over to her, more interested in the special new alchemy to really take notice of the fact that shitty Colonel's now a woman. Watch him freak later though.* What are you working on? Your alchemy looks different to mine.

[no_ave_maria]

[She takes it, pouring rather steadily into her mixture. She's not measuring, but her eyeballing seems precise, even though she's drunk. She'll find your hysterics amusing.]

Golems. Transmuting, somewhat. [She never taught her student any of this stuff so you get a mildly interested look.] What's yours like, boy?

[resoluteblade]

Who are you?

[[ Because surely that can't be... Can it? Kanda's looking really confused right now, you don't even know, man, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. Or, maybe you do. ]]

[no_ave_maria]

[This actually makes her look up from whatever nefarious acts she's up to to give you this entirely arch look. Her voice is sarcastic.]

Tiedoll. Don't stand around being a useless eyesore, fetch me that.

[Points to something across the room.]

[resoluteblade]

[[ His pointed expression lingers, and he doesn't immediately move (it goes without saying just how amusing he found that). But then after a few moments, he swiftly turns away and actually looks for the whatever it is the General pointed to. ]]

Did you grab one of the Supervisor's potions instead of your drink?

[[ Which provides about a half an explanation. For the other... Well, perhaps this isn't the strangest he's seen in this place. ]]

[no_ave_maria]

To your left, the blue vial.

[And she doesn't even care about your annoyance kid. Busy with her concoctions here.]

What do you think?
