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
Science experiments of any kind

Something presenting balance or dichotomy.
Popcorn
Bubble wrap.

People helping her research her experiments
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.

Plant domestication.

❧ Exchange Rate

Items to Units
Worth	Offering
1-2 Units	Roots Sub-par ingredients Scientific info Small act of responsibility/self control Easily gained science items
3-4 Units	Heart Small science experiments Larger acts of responsibility/self control Made ice Harder gained science items Items of balance/dichotomy
5 Units	Good quality ingredients Heart of ridiculously dangerous beast (like Red Lizagons) Large science experiments Acts of responsibility in taking care of others Teaching others to be responsible
Higher Units require personal touches because Albinia is finicky like that.
Units to Items
Cost	Reward
1 Unit	Ice Food Items 1 Pen 1 Notebook
2 Units	Condoms Learn a science thing 1 Chastity Belt 1 Girl Drink 1 Clipboard
3 Units	1 Class 1 Lap coat 1 Pair of Glasses 1 Pair of Work Gloves 1 Pair of Safety Goggles
4 Units	Weird medications (consult for first purchase)
5 Units	Good quality medications (no side effects)
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.

[SCIENCE BABBLE GOES HERE. also presenting a dead porcupine monkey he finally caught]

[Appears.]

Hello, Apollo.

Ah, hi! Long time no see. I finally got that thing you wanted to study.

Er. I can say by first hand experience, those needles are pretty potent.

...

...I hadn't realized you planned to do that.

A-aha. Well, it wasn't so much planned as it shot me. . .several times while trying to catch it. On the plus side, it doesn't last too long. On the downside, I'm fairly sure it was waiting for something else to come along and kill me.

...I mean bringing me the sample.

[Since she gave you responsibility for the stuff and you made it sound like you were conducting your own experiments.]

...though it's good you are all right.

[I did gank some quills off it already. and maybe some fur >> OKAY MAYBE I POKED IT A LITTLE shhh]

O-oh, well! I figured you'd like to see it first hand. You're all about research, right? And thanks. . .!

[Still, it's all...gift things.]

...did you...want something?

[I AM NOT SURE WITH YOU GUYS. You keep being nice. Is this sacrifice for things or not. '-']

Ah. Not at the moment? I mean, a note pad would be nice, but I can get something else for that at any other time. I just didn't want you to think I'd forgotten about this. Maybe you'll discover something new about it?

Edited 2012-02-28 05:14 (UTC)

[So you are being nice.]

....

[.__.]

Yes. I can do that. THis is more than enough for both.

[Oh hey, can pull out a notepad for you from the shrine.]

...I will be doing an experiment. To make medicine with some of the people. Doctor Watson and we have two assistants, but...more from your apartment are welcome.

[you're a cool brosis okay '-'!! taking the notebook with a slight bow]

Ah, thank you--! And I'd love to! Even if I'm not much help, it's always a good idea to observe those kinds of things!

[I am not a brosis!]

[...I'm trying not to be.]

[._. Stupid unicorns.]

It could be a good opportunity to teach more. Muppet already wants lessons and Maya was very...enthusiastic. [She kind of got topped by Maya.]

[8>]

Haha, Maya's very good at enthusiasm. And Muppet's probably curious about, well, "living" things, I suppose? We could all definitely learn something! It feels like a long time, but none of us have really been here too long. We need every learning opportunity possible.

[=T!!!]

He is. He wishes to know about how to help 'broken humans.'

Yes, I thought that as well. Even those who do not like us would take medicine made by others.

[blinks]

Metaphorically or physically?

Is there anyone besides Ashikawa giving you trouble. . .?

Physically. His terminology. It's how he refers to people being injured.

No, but it's not hard to see some are full of unease. They just aren't as bold about it.

Aah, I see.

(Mm, I still can't blame some of them. ..) They'll come around eventually. Like you said, through others' influence is probably the best way.

...

That wasn't my intent. I meant then they still have access to medicine in general.

[handwaves]

I know. It's still good for your reputation.

(She looks so surprised half the time. . .)

Would you rather us not mention who taught us?

[BECAUSE YOU KEEP BEING SO NICE.]

...no, that's not necessary.

Hm. Alright.

Let me know if there's any other specimen I can bring to you for research. I'm. . .obviously not the outdoorsy type, but I like being able to help this way. Gives me a bit of experience, and it feels useful.

...

[G-geh...]

I'm studying anything and everything at this point.
