[Those with sharp ears may hear a slight crackling, hissing noise. Some may even recognize that as that sound of something burning.]

[Don's voice sounds a bit muffled, as though he's speaking through a cloth of some sort. Always remember your safety gear, kids!]

I have turpentine.

Really.

tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 18:02:08 UTC

Yep! Admittedly, it's not great - I'm not really used to working with plants - but...it's passable.

Hey, any turpentine's good turpentine. Got any leftovers?

[At least he forgot about his little date with you and your brothers.

For the time being, at least.]

tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 20:40:34 UTC

I might, but I still have a few projects I need to complete with it before I know for sure.

[That "for the time being" had better mean forever or no turpentine for him]

What can you use it for?

It's a decently powerful solvent, for one thing. It can also be used for lighting, or even medicine if I was able to find something to mix it with that would counteract the, erm, less pleasant effects it has when applied directly to someone's skin. Though I'd prefer not to do that unless the medical center suddenly runs out of supplies and there's really no other option. Toxic, you know.

[aka: it's capable of being weaponized, but Don's not saying it]

It's capable of being used as fuel, and can be found in cleaning supplies and paint thinners, but I doubt that's particularly applicable here.

...Erm. Truthfully, there's not many uses for it here unless we need light. Its existence means the distiller works, though?

[Voice] betterthanraph October 2 2010, 18:16:46 UTC

...is there a way you could put it into pellets?

[Voice] tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 18:29:02 UTC

Yes.

[Something to doooo]

They'd be more volatile than our usuals, however. More dangerous for the person on the other end as well as the user. Flammable, odorous, toxic if it hits their skin or someone manages to ingest one...

Turpentine doesn't have to be made from pine trees. That's just the most common one.

teethofneedles October 2 2010, 20:00:09 UTC

Huh. How'd you make turpentine, kiddo?

tic_tech_turtle October 2 2010, 20:39:18 UTC

A lot of trial and error.

teethofneedles October 2 2010, 20:42:46 UTC

Wonder if we could do poor-man's explosives....

tic_tech_turtle October 5 2010, 01:40:31 UTC

Probably? It would depend on what you're thinking of, but wasn't there a person pranking people with bombs not that long ago?
