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

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.

Classes.
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.

If you're making a request, you can just ask.

I can give you medicine, but there are going to be side affects for these sort of items, unless you'd like something else.

What do you mean 'side effects,' and what do you mean 'something else'?

If the ingredients are fresh or the right ones, then it's harder to make a pure medicine. There will be side affects.

Something else is asking for something else I can offer.

How would it affect me? Like catching a rash? or like puking my guts out? And what else could you offer?

It would depend on the medicine you're asking for. Side affects differ.

And it's on that tablet over there. [That electronic one.]

I don't know. Something for pain, I guess. Rubbing alcohol, maybe. I can't let it get infected...

Is that your concern?

There's a big hole in my leg, it's kind of all my concern.

The injury is that big?

[aaand irritation quickly fading back to awkward embarrassment]

...Kind of. Couple inches, five or eight or so.

[...]

[Does that thing need stitches?]

Let me see it.

[probably /o/ ~~yeaaah unfinished threads~~]

[hesitates, then slowly unwraps the bandages (which look to be made from a torn blanket) to reveal a sizable gash through her calf, as if a large piece of bamboo was shoved through it, just missing bone. It's obviously been cleaned and wrapped carefully (you figure she didn't do it) but it doesn't seem like there's been much else done to it.]

...

...

I'll treat it. For what you've brought. This will need stitches. I can give you some and it'll help numb the area so it won't hurt as much.

Really? I mean, that can't possibly be enough...

I can't magically heal it, but I can do that much. The heart is actually a fair sum.

Medicine is just expensive to make.

[Oh hey, the shrine behind her has expanded and she takes Maya's arm on the injured side.] We need to go through, it'll be easier to work.

Alright...

[follows hesitantly, though the only hesitation seems to be in putting weight on her leg, not following into the shrine]

[She'll help support her until she moves through the portal of energy.]

[As they move through, they end up somewhere else. At first it might seem as if it should be freezing, as it's covered in ice, but it's actually a only a little bit chilled. Like most doctor's offices.]

[It looks like a lab, with various tools and experiments in varying degrees of completion all over the place. While the tools can be like regular tools, the furniture is made of the ice. Oddly, it looks like the ice was shattered at some point, making it impossible to even attempt to look through it. Yet there seems to be a solid, smooth layer of ice frozen over the top of it all.]

[In a far corner, you can see a wooden door with a thermostat near it that must be telling the room beyond because that high temperature isn't in this frozen place.]

Over here. [And as to be expected in such a science-y place, there is an examination table. Luckily this one is more like the ones at the doctor's.]

[heading over and hopping on, gawking at everything first, though]

This is where you live?

This is where I spend a lot of my free time. You could say it's my living space.

Our experiments will be here too, when we start them. [And she's looking through drawers and such now.]

Neat. Seems like a good place for training 'cause it's so cold.

[Pause.] I try to make it a more bearable temperature when people are in here, it's not too cold, is it?

[Pulling out a few bottles.]

[watching]

It's fine. It's just so hot all the time, the difference is more noticable. Easier to concentrate.

Ah, I suppose that's true. Kalidas always complains how cold it is even when I make it as high as I can.

Though her place is always hot.

[And coming over, looking over the injury closer with it elevated.[

[trying very hard not to flinch. the stiltwalker got her pretty good, but it could've been a lot worse. seems fairly clean. though deep and wide]

You guys hang out together a lot, huh?

She is my sister, after all.

[Puts her foot in a small pan thing. She is surprisingly gentle despite how stiff and cold she can be.]

This will sting a b-

...no, it will sting a lot.

[And for holes, just pouring the disinfectant is easier. Pan is for catching excess liquid.]
