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.)

❧ 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.

Um, you give out medication, right? I was wondering if, um, you could make some for an animal. ['-']

Is it a pet from home?

No, I just found her...

You're asking for medicine. For one of the native creatures?

...I don't know?

[this place...]

Should I bring it over or ...?!

...

What's the apartment and what color is the creature?

U-um, I found it in apartment Y but I took it to my apartment -- apartment P. It's a fox, but its fur is kind of like a grey-brown?

[Nods and then she looks up and she...just doesn't seem to be there for a few moments.]

[Then tension noticeably leaves her body.] Ah, it's a resident.

[that was... a little frightening, but cool!]

A resident?

[Hey, it takes a moment to look at things.]

Someone we brought here. I can give you medicine for them.

[...she wouldn't have if it was a Nature pet.]

[some...one...?]

Aah, thank you! I'm sure they'll appreciate it!

[something's...wrong here.]

[We bring in tons of non-humans.]

What symptoms were they displaying?

Ahhh, well... she's injured so she's mostly in a lot of pain right now. I'm going to look for a doctor for her tomorrow morning.

So you want pain medication?

For now, yeah!

...are you able to fight?

N-not really.

[Poooondering.]

Can you cook?

Y-yeah, but I don't have the materials--I could always ask someone to let me borrow their kitchen for a while.

That'll be fine.

You'll need to cook the meals for at least one other person besides yourself for as long as this person is sick.

[that sounds doable. sort of!]

So I just check in everyday as long as she's sick or do I come back when she's OK?

[p-person? he doesn't have the heart to correct her.]

[Correct me, sure. :)]

[And there's a portal of energy appearing in her shrine.] If this isn't enough for her, then you'll have to come back for a refill. [And handing you a bottle of pain meds.]

[shhh, you're a god. besides, what is he... what is this]

Got it! [+1 bottle of pain meds obtained.]

[~~Magic.~~ SCIENCE.]

One pill every four hours. There will be some minor side affects, but nothing that should cause harm.

[he wants to draw one...]

Thank you very much!
