I know a little of Alchemy, if you are that curious.

[No demonstration though. She knows the theory, not the practical side.]

[voice] [PRIVATE] holmes_fanatic April 9 2011, 11:02:29 UTC

Ah -- really? [Conan's not sure whether he's pleased or put out by this revelation -- you seemed so normal Riza.] That'd be great!

Re: [voice] [PRIVATE] thehawks_eye April 9 2011, 11:07:43 UTC

[She is normal. Mostly. Sorta.] It's no trouble. What do you wish to know>? I'll explain as best I can.

[voice] [PRIVATE] holmes_fanatic April 9 2011, 11:10:41 UTC

Well, in my world alchemy's not real so ... everything, really! How does it work?

Re: [voice] [PRIVATE] thehawks_eye April 9 2011, 11:25:35 UTC

Alchemy is the science of Equivalent Exchange. Something can not be made from nothing. Say you wish to make a doll. You can not make a doll does not have the same amount of material than what you started with, be it sand, dirt, fibers of some sort. One cannot bypass that law. It's impossible, and from what I know, the toll for doing so is fatal. An alchemist works with arrays both simple and complex to do the transmutations. I know little about that part myself, I'm sorry. [A lie, but one she's told so many times it's natural now.]

[voice] [PRIVATE] holmes_fanatic April 9 2011, 11:28:01 UTC

Equivalent exchange -- so you need materials and an array -- what's that, by the way? A sort of construct? -- to transmute into a final product? And the final product can be -- what?

Re: [voice] [PRIVATE] thehawks_eye April 9 2011, 11:52:15 UTC

[A few mins, and a badly drawn, rather crude array is showing on Vid.] This is a basic array.

A final product, from what I understand, has to be something with the base properties of what it started out as. I'm honestly not the best person to ask.

[voice] [PRIVATE] holmes_fanatic April 9 2011, 23:11:56 UTC

But -- isn't that just a drawing? What gives alchemy the -- energy, force, means to ... transmute ... the base materials into the final product?

((augh -- so sorry! Clearly this reply didn't go through last night.))

Re: [voice] [PRIVATE] thehawks_eye April 10 2011, 04:41:55 UTC

A diagram, yes. As to how it aids, I honestly have no clue. There is another on the Island, I believe. [Actually, she's not sure if Kimblee's still around :|] However.. I'm hesitant to trust them, Conan.

[voice] [PRIVATE] holmes_fanatic April 10 2011, 04:48:26 UTC

Really? An alchemist here?

How come?

Re: [voice] [PRIVATE] thehawks_eye April 10 2011, 04:53:27 UTC

Yes. He's from my world and put simply, I would rather shoot him than work with him.

[voice] [PRIVATE] holmes_fanatic April 10 2011, 04:54:31 UTC

He's a bad guy then?

Do you know if it's possible to make a barrier using alchemy big enough to surround this island?

Re: [voice] [PRIVATE] thehawks_eye April 10 2011, 04:58:53 UTC

He's someone I do not trust. The world I come from cannot be divided into good and bad. [It's too simplistic, and she's military. Her world is shades of grey, as much as she dislikes it.]

A barrier? No. I'm sorry.

[voice] [PRIVATE] holmes_fanatic April 10 2011, 05:01:28 UTC

I'll remember.

No, that's a good thing! It means we can make learning about other things a priority for now.

Re: [voice] [PRIVATE] thehawks_eye April 10 2011, 05:13:17 UTC

Of course.

[voice] [PRIVATE] holmes_fanatic April 10 2011, 05:14:05 UTC

Thank you very much, Lieutenant Riza!
