Albinia

Albinia
Science, Responsibility, Ice

❧ Played by Sair
Appearance: As a human, she’s a grown woman, with pale skin, long light colored hair, and light blue eyes. She will never smile and either has a distant look or disapproving look most of the time.

Characteristics: Stern, serious, cold, reserved, scientific, socially awkward, rational.

Likes: Order, rules, responsibility, self-control, logic, science (Of all kinds, except mad scientist science.), scientific method, ice, frozen goods, ice sculptures (the one form of art she really enjoys), her sister, and she shares a joy of balance, dichotomy, and most importantly, popcorn with her sister.

Dislikes: Chaos, rule breaking, lack of control, irresponsibility, idiocy, mad scientist art, spicy food, hot drinks, most other forms of art, most things Kalidas likes, people who do not like popcorn, her sister, people messing with her sister.
Shrine: An ice sculpture of a circular archway. The ice never melts and it’s cold to the touch, though people won’t ever get stuck to it. (Unless they lick it, in which case, they’ll be stuck there for an hour at least.)

Ritual: To summon her, the person needs to put their hand on the statue and list off some science type fact. (It does not necessarily need to be correct, just be something sciencey.)
❧ Will Take❧ Will Give
  • The heart of any beast
  • The roots of plants

  • Teaching others to be responsible.
  • Caring for a pet, a sick person, or a family member/child.
  • Experimental Mediciations - All medication in pill form, sleeping pills, pain pills, acid reducers, anti-depressants, etc., but there is risk of side affects if paid for cheaply.
  • Science supplies - Beakers, tweezers, magnifying glass, flashlights, nothing too fancy.
  • Chemicals - Think chemistry set level at this point.
  • Condoms and Chastity Belts.
  • Weird Medications - Not normal pill stuff.
  • Ice
  • Girly drinks - Really weak alcohol.
  • Ice cream, popsicles, frozen food, popcorn, saltine crackers, chicken soup and bouillon for broth.

NOTE: For those who are approved to be assistants or guinea pigs, you basically get a unit pay.
Assistants (teacher): 3 Units per class.
Assistants (experiments): 7 Units per experiment session
Guinea Pigs: 10 Units per time you’re being tested on

NOTE 2: If there’s a high chance your character will be dickish to her/does terribly irresponsible things that hurt other people on a regular basis/is one of those guys who murders people, it would probably be better to actually thread that out because Albinia is finicky.

Next time I'll be sure to start out with friction and resulting combustion, would that be better?

Unfortunately, I'm not here to talk about science. Not directly at least.

I'll keep that in mind.

My friend was poisoned by one of the little frogs that seem to be everywhere. I was hoping you might have something to counteract it.

He said he was dizzy and not long after contact he could barely stand. Fatigue, I suppose. General loss of energy.
of_glory: (That went poorly)

Early twenties and slim. We've been underfed for sometime before coming here, but he was healthy overall before this.

It was my fault that he was poisoned, I really want to make it right.

Was he here for something too? I don't know if I would take it to heart, he doesn't like anyone. And he certainly doesn't have to find out I was here.

Thank you. Is there anything more I should do for you?

Would it help if I brought you more samples? I collected a number of frogs earlier.

[he's wearing gloves, which is why he didn't notice the poison at first]

[he has several with him in a very simple cage made of sticks, except for the one in from his steampunk hot air balloon setup that he was showing off to Tare with]

I have five. Will that be enough?

They seem harmless enough, aside from the poison.

Are there any other medications I can get from you for the rest of them? Maybe something for fever or aches and pains?
of_glory: (Bored of you now)

Re: Day 21, late afternoon

[personal profile] of_glory 2012-02-10 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't sound promising.

I saw that you give away condoms as well as medication. I don't suppose the frogs could be traded for those?
of_glory: (Now I'm patronizing you)

Yes, thank you.

[taking two frogs out]

I will probably just release the others. I can catch more if I need to.
