Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

Well, a little. I usually wear gloves when I'm working, so it's mostly mitigated. And if I have to do something with a lot of water, or even simply washing up... I just have to bear it. It's not so much painful as it is mildly uncomfortable. Still, I usually have Sucrose do the cleaning. I prefer to avoid it if possible.

Running water is uncomfortable for us vampires too, though I'm better at handling it than big sis.

[1] Ah, makes sense. Shame you're not into (al)chemistry yourself, I would've loved to learn more.
Mortefi
Just by simple observation, everything else is essentially identical to a normal human body. Chalk is a fairly inert substance alchemically, so it's used mainly as a base. The alchemical processes and ingredients used to create me made everything end up as close to a naturally born human as possible, except that I don't age.

I have my doubts with that... but since I'm not too experienced in chemistry either, and since I don't play Gensheesh or know much about its world, I guess I'll shut up.
Also, Venti said that you're decent at maths? Or am I mistaking you for someone?

Mortefi
Math and science are of course inextricably linked. It's fairly basic stuff to me. I learned a lot of it long ago, and, despite knowing that it develops further every day, it simply fails to capture my interest now that I have the foundations for alchemy, which are admittedly quite high. All of that is to say, that yes, I have more skills in the subject than the average person (and far more than Venti), but it is not my primary area of expertise.

Huh, interesting.
How much do you know about the set of complex numbers?

I am somewhat familiar with the topic. Last time Alice was in town, she gave me a cursory introduction, simply to bounce ideas off of me.

I can relate, as a man of science. In addition, I avoid homunculi as they are harder to consistently make than non-magical means of creating life. - Hephaistos

I've got a challenge for you. Assuming that the set of RxR (or the set of all pairs of numbers (a,b) where a and b are real numbers) is equally powerful to the set of real numbers, can you show that the complex numbers are equally powerful to the real numbers?
Should be simple, all you have to do is show that every complex number can be attributed to a real number (or a pair of reals) and vice versa. If you need help, feel free to ask OOC!

Mortefi
That is fair. Khemia is all but a lost art, but I am thankful that at least one person practiced it when I was created. Otherwise, well, I wouldn't be alive today.
Mortefi
A complex number can always be expressed as one real number and one imaginary number. An imaginary number can be expressed as a real number multiplied by i. If we remove the multiplication by i, which should not affect the size of the set, then any given complex number can be easily changed into two real numbers. Therefore every complex number can be mapped to a pair of real numbers. If the set of pairs are, as assumed, equally powerful as the set of real numbers, this means that the set of imaginary numbers are equal in this sense to the set of real numbers.
I hope that that's correct. But please, correct me if I made any errors.

Oh. Thank you. I haven't been called that before. "A genius", "very helpful", "a fast learner", but never once "cool". Well, Klee calls me "awesome", which I assume is somewhat synonymous, but not by any of my peers.

My apologies for joining late. So you must be Albedo, correct? I am Baron Gilgamesh Wulfenbach - you can just call me "Gil". It's a pleasure to meet you, kind sir! This here is my advisor:
Hello. I am Prince Aaronev Tarvek Sturmvoraus - just call me Tarvek. We're both men of science ourselves. You deal with creation, right? Does that mean biological constructs or creating anything?

Pretty much anything. There is little that you can't make with Khemia, if you are skilled enough. Personally I can't make anything more sentient than a plant, or anything particularly large, but my master could do anything with time and ingredients, including... well, me.

[1] Well, you're the first person that I've seen on this thread who understands complex numbers, besides Icarus! Man, maths is such an underappreciated topic.
Welp, good night. It's almost midnight here, and I don't want to be sleepy tomorrow. Take care, folks!

I get you, but you should have had some experiences with water by now, right? Does it irritate your skin?
