likemybooks: talking to someone to the side (thoughtful)

[The awful haircut hurts Taryon's soul deeply. It must have looked nice before a knife attacked it, and the symmetry would have complimented Sasuke's mismatched eyes - the ones that must have had a hand in messing up the implant. It's difficult not to catch the disappointment in his eyes at Sasuke's appearance.]

It is. [He steps inside to take in the appearance of the room.] So, you can make up to twelve gallons of saltwater a day, but not everything else I listed. Hopefully, you don't need two different liquids in one day, but the jug can't do that either.

[He stops near the bed.] What do you need all the water for, anyway?
likemybooks: Taryon glancing to the side nervously (uncertain)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2023-12-18 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
It's...[He points at the jug Sasuke is holding.] That much, times twelve. [Oh god. He realizes that every other measurement he listed on the sheet of paper he was using as reference won't make sense.]

Just - give me a moment. I'll write this out as fractions. [He unfolds a sheet of paper and draws a vertical line to the right of the table, now converting ounces, and quarts into "1/128ths of a jug" and "1/4ths of a jug." Hope you're good at math, Sasuke.]

This his how much of the other liquids you can make.
likemybooks: Taryon looking over his book (concerned)

That's too small? What do you need all that water for?

[It's enough for alchemical uses, and it keeps the party hydrated.]

The poison won't kill a man by itself, but you can coat a weapon in it to cause more damage or make him really ill. I'd recommend it to kill pests, if you need to.

[Taryon's hard work, all for a disappointed look. Maybe he should have tried something more impressive, like power gauntlets, or flying shoes - but Sasuke doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be easily impressed by a simple trick like lighting a sword on fire. He had high standards.

Well. Then all he has to do is to do better next time. Taryon straightens.]
Then, you will need to look into finding a body of water for that. Otherwise, you'll just have to get creative with the jug's uses when you fight.
likemybooks: Taryon leaning on his elbow (boastful)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2023-12-23 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, well, I suppose we'll figure out a fee in the future. If is not to your liking, I'll give it to you for free!

[He clenched his fist and nods. Yes, they're working together, even if they're not on the same team, and Taryon is fine with missing a few gold. Or kryptos, as they call it here.]

Alright, then. Hand it over, and grab a glass or something. I'll show you how to get water.
likemybooks: Taryon with a frustrated look (mild anger)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2023-12-27 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Taryon sighs - but out of the goodness of his own heart, he will give this as a gift.]

No? Ew, that's too much water. [At least he didn't offer to create mayonnaise or oil?] How about moving this to the showers? You can practice your magic there without damaging the floors.
likemybooks: Vex and Taryon standing together, looking cool. (Vex - pose)

[Taryon needs to introduce this guy to a processional barber, even if he's really good at cutting his own hair. It would be way less of a hassle if Sasuke didn't leave his hair lying in his room, and the cut would be neater with scissors.]

So how do you manipulate water, if not with magic? [He turns into the hallway and heads towards the shower room.] Because all this - in my world, at least - is powered with arcane enchantments. I can use just about any material to make the base object, or I can buy it myself. That jug's from a department store. But I need to engrave the runes myself.

[He pushes the door to the showers with one hand and the jug tucked under his other arm.]
likemybooks: Taryon peeking over a surface. His mouth is hidden. (peek)

[Taryon stands in the entryway of the communal showers while Sasuke investigates the room for...bugs? Spies? Taryon isn't sure, it's whatever rogues look for when they search for traps.]

I'm learning that every world has their own magic system from all this. [He smiles to himself and follows Sasuke into the stall.] And what I'll see is but a microcosm of reality.

[It's like learning about the metaphysics of fictional worlds, only there isn't a narrator expositing nor a character cast filled with experts in different fields.

He tilts the jug towards the floor, empty as ever.]
Salt water. [The runes inscribed on the metal flash, and a small waterfall pours out of the mouth of the container.]
likemybooks: speaking unconcerned (dismissive)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2024-01-03 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Taryon shrugs and angles the jug upright. He grew up obsessively studying fictional worlds and the magic systems that existed in the minds of writers, but those were all though exercises. Here, jutsu and aura-reading were real and distinct from the magic system of Exandria, and seemingly-useless studying has prepared Taryon for learning all this.]

There won't be much left after all that water. But...beer?

[The runes glow, Taryon tips the jug, and a thin stream of ale pours out of the opening and down the drain.]
likemybooks: looking down while talking (his name)

[personal profile] likemybooks 2024-01-06 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
You have to leave it be for 24 hours before it fully replenishes its magic, but yes. You can't expect to use up all the water and then have a glass of wine afterwards.

[The stream of beer becomes a trickle, then disappears entirely.]

So, uh, we should wait for tomorrow before we try this again.
likemybooks: Taryon shading his eyes and smiling (new adventure)

Oh, this was easy to make. It's a simple spell using simple materials. Now, if you want me to make multiple jugs...that would take more time. Or is you wanted me to enchant a weapon to be more powerful, that would take more time.

[He hands the jug over to Sasuke.]

Some of my projects took several hours over months to make. It all depends on what you need.
