So after all that, things get quiet again. Guess it's understandable. Anyone know what caused those ghosts in the first place? More importantly, does anyone know what made them leave?

[...] What the--? ...Some of my alchemy workbooks from home. Shit, how long have these been here?! Heh! Ought to be a few useful things in here. Let's see--

Alchemy...?

[priceoftruth]

Yeah. It's a prominent science in my world.

[emomachine]

How does it work?

[priceoftruth]

It uses energy to convert matter from one form to another. Or, if you want to get technical, you deconstruct a material and reconstruct something else out of it.

[seasaltsnack]

That's what you used to make the platform and the tournament trophy, right? I definitely want to learn how to do that!

[priceoftruth]

Sure is. Heh! All right, sounds good. Keep in mind it's not nearly as easy as it looks.

[seasaltsnack]

Awesome! I don't expect something that cool looking to be that easy to learn!

[priceoftruth]

Definitely. We'll see how it goes. Not everyone takes to it, after all.

[kaenmajin]

Alchemy is a practical science in your world?

[priceoftruth]

Yeah, it is. Why?

oh god ed and those expressions of his xD

[kaenmajin]

Fascinating... are both science and magic necessary to work it?

1/2 fhgkhs his funny mangafaces love you <33

[priceoftruth]

Well, I hate to even use the term magic at all, to be honest...

[dustedsunlight]

Alchemy...?

[priceoftruth]

It's a form of science in my world.

[dustedsunlight]

I've never heard of it. I guess it's exclusive to your world.

Can anyone learn it...?

[priceoftruth]

Well, sort of. Apparently a few other worlds have something similarly named -- sounds more like a dead field of study in those cases, though.

Not exactly. Some people take to it better than others.

[puzzledprof]

Alchemy? ...I suppose it works differently on your world than most others.

[priceoftruth]

I've heard it's a dead science in other worlds.

[puzzledprof]

For the most part, but it did create the foundations of chemistry.

What is it like in your world, then?

[priceoftruth]

Well, I guess all worlds can't be perfect.

It's closely tied with chemistry in my world. People use it everywhere -- small households, large shops. Even the military has a strong basis in alchemy.
