The motion of your potion

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide was always looking to fill her well of knowledge. As far as she was concerned it was bottomless. so for the bottomless, there was nameless. Frideswide had asked Jaks to come with her for this as he was intelligent, full of his own unique ideas and for some reason loved spending time with her. along with them was her homunculus, Louis. He had actually flown them to the city and now they were all making their way there on foot. "Now, im not sure what we'll find here. Echo oculd be busy but theres serets of alchemy i havent unlocked, i have to see what i can find out here!" the woman hyperly exclaimed as he adjusted the pack on her shoulder before finally handing it off to Louis.

[Adam Helviath]

A dark robed man who was obviously not clockwork like the rest of the city was walking around with a small creature. It hopped around and looked like a strange thing with a growth on it's back. Upon further glances it would be seen having a second head upon it's back and a tail with a mind of it's own.

The hooded man seemed to be cheering it on as it hopped around and playfully tugged at his cloths. He was carrying books it seemed and was making his way further into the city and around corners. Before long it would seem he was making his way toward what appeared to be a garden of sorts.

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks was ecstatic that he was able to come with Frides to Nameless and not just because he got to spend more time with her. Although that was the main reason. " Chances are that we could find something in the library. Gods know what you might find there. I'm on the hunt me self for something of value." He stealthily looked Frides over before continuing " Trying to find something that will help me construct a better AI, hopefully something that can learn. Or at least preform complex algorithms independently." He finished and adjusted the goggles on his head into a more comfortable before he saw the mysterious robed figure. Jaks nudged Frides with his elbow gently. " Is it just me or is there a mysterious figure wandering about with an adorable ball of fur?"

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide nodded in agreement. "I would love to see that. Then you could make simpler versions of Echo itself. THAT would be something. Personally I just want to unlock as many secrets of my craft as possible. I wish to reach the top. I imagine when you know it all, you can create and you raise yourself to the level of a true immortal being. " she giggled. "..though I dont have illusions of ever being a god, to be above the clouds and know everything, i dream of that." the woman ceased in pouring her heart out to the fellow set of goggles when he pointed out the robed figure. "Wow.. it looks like its a mix of crea..tures.." She gasped an ran after it as fats as she could, Louis following. "Excuse me there, hello!" she waved. "Jaks hurry!"

[Adam Helviath]

Adam turned his head slightly but the hood of the robe kept his face covered as he felt the tap tap tap of their feat, judging how close they are he counted the steps and heard their volume so that he knew where they were. Raising his hand he turned back and knelt down to his creature, picking it up and then standing upright once more. Waving them to come along he said nothing until he got to the park, once there he would set the creature down and simply chime, "Go 'n Khan... I'll be here..." He pets the creature as it nods and starts to play around, leaping onto leaves and other types of things. "Suprise seein' the two'a ya here..." Removing his hood he smiled coyly at the two of them and proceeded to sit upon a bench. "Wha' brings ya ta nameless?"

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks tried to keep up with Frides as she dashed along, his metal leg making it hard on him to maintain her speed. He was thankful when she finally came to a rest in front of the man Jaks had seen before in her shop when had gone, and not successfully, obtain a biological leg. " Nice to meet you again." He took note of Frides words and peered toward the creature. "Looks like a chimera. I am not an expert in many things but I once read a book about mythological creatures. Was a great read until i realized that most myths are based on fact and if 50% of the stuff in that book was real i would be immediately dead on contact, but no that adorable ball of fluffy scales it would probably take 5, maybe six minutes. Well assuming it can cast magic and fire acidic venom like the tales talked about. As for what brings us here I'm looking for tip on programming advanced AI and Frides is looking for alchemy help, not entirely sure there is a more specified field then that in her search, but I would ask her about it not me." Jaks stood for a moment before he felt his leg shake a bit. He bent down to adjust his leg as it spurt a puff of steam relieving the pressure. "Sorry, all the saltwater air is messing up me leg. should probably get around to cleaning it."

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide was there in a NEw corset and was just all enthusiastic youthful glee despite being quite old and experienced in alchemy. Her zeal to learn never quite faded even now. "Jaks is very skilled for his age,I hope coming here helps him, as for me, well I heard lore that flesh weaving could extend further but I don't know any alchemists advanced enough so i thought I would come here to see if the realm of my colleagues held the secrets of flesh weaving i seek." Then, it dawned on her. "Wait that creature was a chimera. AH " she ran up to Adam and got right in his face, her eyes holding all the demanding of one as precocious as Jaks but as experienced as Mr Helviath. "do YOU know the secret?"

[Adam Helviath]

Adam laughed, "Mouthful..." he said to jake with a grin as he lifted his hood, at the surge of personal space invasion the space was quickly closed with almost inhuman speed as a hand grabbed her chin and a kiss was planted upon her lips, pushing her gently back he was standing and off to the side. "Ya... I know the secret... I brought it back'n the world..." he smiled, "Two people know it... me'n the one I created'n taught it to..." he smiled. He bent down and picked up the little chimera as it hopped around the corner and back to it's father's feet. "Why do ya look fer it? 'n fer the leg... I could make it more biological... clockwork even..." he looked at it, "I could ev'n make ya a leg like yer'own..." He looked at the two of them. "I hold the secrets of'a lotta things luv..." he looks to Jaks, "Wha' ya want wif my secrets... tha's wha' I'm gonna need ta know before we talk more..." his eyes flickered with purple alchemy here and there before shifting to a solid and deep glowing blue.

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks clenched his fist and was going bust the dude right in his face, but there were two things to keep him from trying to smash it in. First was that he had no real relationship status with Frides, to his disliking so it would be out of place to say anything about it. Besides, Would decking Adam in the face after revealing he has what Frides want really be the best thing ? He didn't think so he kept his thoughts to himself and sat in the backround with fire in his eyes. Then Ace spoke to him and it took all he could not to lash out. " No, I want a leg like mine, I've already drawn up an improved model. Besides, getting a real leg is disrespectful to a former friend of mine. SO while I should say thank you, I will decline your offer."

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide was startled by Adam, and when he started talking about all he could do.a and she was faced with a problem Let him do that and turn the other cheek fofr the sake of knowledge, or put him in his place. She sighed and said. "do that again Mr Helviath and I will have my homunculus do the same back to you. Now then i would humbly appreciate being taught, i want to know for the sake of knowing, for no alchemist spens their life in the pursuit of their craft to just ..well, STOP some day. It is like breathing, you dont simple stop doing it because youve been doing it for years."

[Adam Helviath]

Adam was by Jaks when he was aggressively explaining his leg replacement would be an insult, at the notion that her homunculus would do the same he simply once more attempted to use his speed to give a kiss to Jaks. Regardless if it came to pass or not he did not care and would continue. "Ya perception of the action is comic ta say the least..." he smiled and would walk between the two. "Don' care, yer homunculus could kiss me... don' care... in ancient times people kissed frequently ta greet another... also with'a bunch'a clockworks... kiss'n gets awkward..." he laughed as he moved with the chimera, kissing it as well. it roared in delight and nuzzled it's creator. Moving it back to his chest he hugs it and lets it go as it hops around. "Yer a lil lack luster 'n yer observations 'bout the kid over there...er... man... sorry..." he motioned to jaks.

Shaking his head he smiled, "yer also close minded, BUT I like yer desire ta learn..." he smiled at the two of them. "Ya both wanna learn 'n I can respect tha'.... Wha' do ya offer me in exchange fer my knowledge?" He proceeded to sit down at the bench once more. "Wha' do ya propose ta give me..." He was peaceful in his words and seemed indifferent by their frustration or words of dislike for his actions.

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks Slowly calmed down to a low simmer and responded to Ace's question calmly. "For someone who seems to have all the knowledge we need it doesn't seem like we have anything to offer you besides maybe Ideas, or maybe working hands." Jaks looked about and eventually pulled a butterfly knife from his pocket. " I apologize, My hands get antsy when they are unoccupied. Usually I would tinker but its a little hard standing up with none of my supplies." He twirled the knife around his hand " I can supply you with ideas, but most of them are with-in my scope, probably not yours. Especially someone who can create complex life. " At this point Jaks was not seeing him as a person but as a peer. It helped his anger.

[Frideswide Seys]

Frideswide raised a brow "If i was close-minded i wouldnt have a man killed to make another. Ive played the gods with that already. What I offer to you then adam is my ambition to see it through. I have been doing this since I was a child, i have survived wars and less than chivalrous men that would shun me because i chose a path that their egos couldnt handle and i didnt change my path to make it easier for others to walk down it with me. I brought Jaks with me because i see the potential in him and i brought myself because I must know it all to truly call myself an alchemist."

[Adam Helviath]

He looked at the two and lifted a brow, "I like concepts... I like yer ship kid 'n somma the doodads ya make... I got the biologics 'n guns... could use some more ideas..." he turns to the lady, "Ya gots some hootspa there but... like... legit, tha's not gonna cut it... he's offerin' ideas... concepts he holds close to him, dear to him... kill'n one person's cute luv... i don' have'n ego.... I'm purely bein' business..."

Adam folds his legs and then opens them again, resting his arms on the knees. "yer cute luv but yer curves arn' gonna get ya free stuff from me like ya can get from the technician over there..." The man was kind of all over the place, it was easily noticeable. "perverted banter aside, I want somethin'... I've had people who promised ta see it through... get me nothin' but problems..."

[Jaks Flagner]

Jaks looked up at Adam, " No, I am not offering you things close to my heart, Im offering something most scientists and engineers severely lack. So before you go off spouting about how what she has said to offer from a business stand point isnt enough, notice the obvious about her. She brings to the table more than just her amazing looks. Because what you say you want is Ideas, but what you lack is Imagination. If you are really short on ideas, enough to have to trade your knowledge for them, then you have no use for the knowledge in the first place. Your Chimera is a good example of this. Every person can look at something, build it and claim it unique , but not everyone can wake up in the middle of the night and create from dreams, from thought, and from whimsy. Frides, as well as I bring that to the table. Not ideas, dedication, and a resume of murder. Those things pale in comparison to sudden inspiration and the skill to see it through. Thomas Edison once said that he learned there are 99 ways to not make a light bulb , and one right way to make one. But in the end it took him more time to find an answer through proper science, then it took me to make my leg through imagination, and this leg is still scientifically relevant to the point that echo uses it's basics when designing clockwork. How well did the Edison bulb last? "
