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.

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 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. . .!

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?

[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!

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.

Metaphorically or physically?

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

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.

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

Would you rather us not mention who taught us?

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.

In that case, if I stumble across something that isn't common knowledge, you'll be the first to know.
