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.)

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.

That wasn't the question, Goldilocks.

[Her voice isn't unkind. Considering her demeanor, it may even be gentle. But there is a firmness to it.]

What should I mourn? Is that even the right word? I still have so much left.

But it's not unreasonable to mourn what you have lost.

I can be happy anywhere, Miss Albinia. Location is not something to mourn. And as for my friends, I do not believe I shall never see them again. However long it takes, I shall be patient, and I shall hope.

...that really isn't something we can guarantee.

If there was a guarantee, it wouldn't be hope.

And that's enough?

That is enough.

...

Is it so surprising?

You were looking forward to this evaluation back home because it meant you could go home. And now you can't.

I truly did want to go home. I wanted to see my father, and all my friends from Goldbrick, it... It is very disappointing that I cannot go back. But, as I said before, things being difficult is no reason to give up completely. I have already gotten one of the things I was most excited about, being able to go outside again. There are many things here to be glad for.

So you won't let yourself be sad?

I've too much to be happy about right now, I've found nothing so depressing it will keep me down for long.

[...] I see.

Is there anything else you would like to know?

...yes. I'd like it if you'd told me more about your home.
