Asagi: Full throttle go.

-She pushes throttle to max to launch her virtual fighter-

-The Aurora throttles up surprisingly fast, and soon you, oddly enough, feel yourself being pressed back into your seat as the fighter rockets into the sky-

-You're in flight! In virtual reality, but still!-

Santiago: Wendigo 1 has cleared the deck. Wendigo 2, you are go for launch.

-A few moments later, the weird starfighter takes off from the flight deck-

Santiago: Wendigo 2 is clear. Wendigo 3, launch when ready.

-Quartz gets the same prompt-

Quartz: I'm not sure that sort of bomber is supposed to take off from a carrier, but... Here goes!

-Applies full thrust forwards-

~meanwhile, Baru has once again set up a potion stand, with a sign in the front of it saying:~

Clinical Potion Trial

-Einar, of all people, walks over to Baru and reads her sign-

Einar: What kind of potion are you trying to test out? I might consider helping as long as it isn't gonna make me mutate.

#71031: Sep 6th 2018 at 10:28:41 AM

Baru: "Well, I have no idea! That's why I need to test them!" grin

"But uh..."

~she looks through the bottles of various shapes and sizes displayed on her stand, double-checks some sort of list in front of her, then picks up a small vial with a creamy, white liquid and hands it to Einar~

"...the main ingredient in this one is activated almond milk, so it can't cause any physical transmutations. Couldn't tell you for the life of me what it *can* do though."

Baru's potion stand

-Einar looks at the potion, then at Baru, then shrugs-

Einar: Bottom's up.

-he proceeds to down the entire thing with no hesitation-

~Einar, roll me a CON save please~

~I mean, you and me both know you will pass a measly Constitution save, but I need to know by how much you beat the DC on this~

Bcom Since: Jun, 2014
#71034: Sep 6th 2018 at 10:51:45 AM

-Einar ends up rolling a 19 on his constitution saving throw-

~Einar, you handle the more... exotic ingredients in the potion particularly well~

~for a very brief moment, your vision gets a little blurry and your ears start buzzing, but your hearing returns to normal and your eyes re-focus quite quickly~

~and once they do, you notice something~

~or, to put it more aptly, you notice a whole lot of things that you did not notice before~

~you notice that the letters on the front of Baru's potion stand are slightly misaligned; that one of the buttons on her coat is missing; that one of the pictures hanging on the wall in the hallway is a little off-center; that there is a weirdly-colored stain in the carpet near your feet; and you notice many, many more small things that aren't quite the way they should ideally be like~

~you just drank a Potion of Detect Imperfection, and your outstanding Con Save made the effect even more potent~

Baru: "So? How do you feel?"

~...is that an accent in her speech? You could have sworn that Baru has always been speaking perfectly fine, accent-free english until now...~

-Einar looked at the sign then at Baru with a mildly confused expression on his face-

Einar: this is...weird. I think my senses are heightened beyond the norm, I can tell you have an accent now, and I can even see the slightest misalignment in your sign...and I think I can even see the chinks in my own armor now.

-Barbara strolls up and looks at the sign-

Baru: "Oh wow, really? That's amazing." surprised

~starts taking notes, then waves hi to Barbara~

"Hey Barb~!" grin

Barbara: Hey. Doing more tests?

Bcom Since: Jun, 2014
#71040: Sep 6th 2018 at 11:39:25 AM

-Einar proceeds to turn and look at Barb, wondering what imperfections he will see while under the effects of the potion-

#71041: Sep 6th 2018 at 11:42:41 AM

-She has a few errant hairs that her ponytail didn't get, and she sounds painfully Californian. Also, her sword has some smudges-

#71042: Sep 6th 2018 at 11:50:24 AM

Baru: ~nods~

"Yeah. I kiiiinda hit a roadblock optimizing the formula for my blood cleansing draught, which is mostly that I can't entirely remove the side effect of inordinate involuntary exsanguination in 10% of the subjects. So I thought it would be fun to find a side project to clear my mind a little." grin

~she motions at the bottles of various shapes and sizes in front of her~

"Suuuuuurely a brave and noble warrior like you would be willing to help out a friend's scholastic pursuits, right?" wink

Lisa joins up with Einar and company.

Lisa: "What's going on, guys?"

Einar could tell, somehow, that she watched multiple episodes of Master of Ragnarok and Blesser of Einherjar before realizing it was bad.

Baru: "I get results." tongue

~Barbara, please roll a con save as well~

(@Lisa)Baru: "I'm looking for volunteers to figure out what all these new brews I made can do. Wanna help?" grin

-Einar proceeds to look at Lisa, then starts vomiting profusely on the spot from the sheer horror of such an idea-

Arcade

Asagi: Whooohoooo! Go, g-forces, go~! grin


Meanwhile

-Mercuria sees everyone huddled around a booth...and Einar puking nearby-

Mercuria: Did you finally end up giving these people food poisoning, doctor?

Lisa: "Sure thing!"

She tries one of her potions, and gets a natural 20 through what one can only assume is dumb luck. Then she notices Einar.

Lisa: "Oh my God!"

Her face is in a big ol' D: now.
