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.)

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 would depend on payment. Remedies with only temporary affect on the body are expensive. Something of this scale could not be covered in a single sacrifice, even for higher paying tributes.
no subject
Can you give me an idea of the 'cost'? For both the temporary and permanent antidotes.
no subject
For something permanent, I'd need something to either counteract the toxin permanently or to destroy all toxin from within your body without it doing something...worse.
Temporary...none of the ingredients that are obtainable to the people goes into it. You have several options, depending on whether or not you wish to stay around Head Quarters or gather something from nature.
Permanent....you'd honestly just do better giving me tribute randomly and frequently and start a tab.
no subject
I see. [hmmm.]
Do you know how long the temporary antidote might last?
no subject
On a normal physiology....three days.
But there is a likelihood the toxin in your blood will make it more difficult to work and last a shorter time.
no subject
How do I know it will work at all?
no subject
If it doesn't, I'll give you a refund.
no subject
[AHEM ANYWAY]
I think I've heard enough, for now. I'd like to trade for the temporary antidote.
no subject
[Nods.] ....within Headquarters?
[...perhaps a hint in her tone of how much she'll judge you if you say no to that.]
no subject
no subject
Since it's most likely three days, it'd be tribute per pill.
[Considering. It's the first time someone has asked for something odd, it takes a bit of thought.]
no subject
Hmmm, thinky thoughts.]
...You're not certain how it might affect me due to the toxin, right? Could taking the pill itself- as an experiment- count as tribute?
no subject
[GUINEA PIG IS A HIGH PRICE ITEM.]
It requires me getting data too.
no subject
How much data?
no subject
Physical data. Blood work, physical check up, observation.
no subject
no subject
....unless something rather unexpected happened and you became a threat to the population, but the likelihood of that is less than one percent.
no subject
...If I agreed to take one pill as an experiment, then- excluding the one I take- would you give me three pills in exchange?
no subject
[A moment of mental math.]
Two pills. Three pills in any combination for the total is pushing the limit of the tribute.
no subject
I'll come back tomorrow, and if I haven't changed my mind, I'll do it then.
