[ Excuse him as he coughs slightly ]

S'up guys.

if you heard an explosion in the lab area, don't worry about it.

It's fine and nothing's on fire.

[ for now. ]

AGAIN??? [ Laughing. ]

[hashtagparkerluck]

In my defense, Chemistry is an exact science-it's not uncommon to have small explosions.

[so_dark_a_road]

Oh well, in fact I understand. I blew the forge up more than once, when I was experimenting with new metallurgic processes, back home. So did my dad.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yup. Explosions are just part of the experimentation process.

[so_dark_a_road]

I think so! You're working away at some fascinating experiment and suddenly, BOOOM!!!

[hashtagparkerluck]

Slightly overestimate how much of one chemical to add and the whole thing goes up in smoke.

...


Which means I gotta start over so that's not... awesome.

Audio? Well at least time to try this out!

[wewillwewill]

Why is there a lab in the quiet carriage?

[This isn't a judgemental tone. He sounds mildly curious. Interest follows on the second question.]

What is this webbing you spoke of?

[hashtagparkerluck]

Because I helped someone build it a while ago when we needed it.

Oh! My webbing is a adhesive thing I make that I used in battles a lot and it's dead useful for getting around places quickly.

...places that aren't a train, anyway.

[wewillwewill]

An unusual place to fit a lab prone to loud noises but I suppose it must be as necessity saw fit.

[This fella definitely has an old-fashioned way of talking but at least he sounds reasonable.]

Some sort of binding then. I can understand its use in principle. Getting around quickly...?

[There is a short pause. Elidibus reflects on things he's been hearing or learning.]

I do not believe the dressing car is your domain however? I overheard that is an actual arachnid with its own capacity for web-making.

[Yes there's still a question there. Just in case he has surmised wrong.]

[hashtagparkerluck]

I hang out there a lot with Kumoko. But yeah, I wouldn't really say it's my domain. Just a place I like to relax.

[wewillwewill]

I see.

[Sadly this does not clarify whether Peter is also an arachnid.]

Given your presence in a lab and the creation or enhancement of natural webbing, are you some manner of alchemist or scientist?

[There is a very fine line of definition between both terms in his world. But there's enough of a difference to qualify.]

[creepyoldguy]

[Ah, the dulcet (ie "sandpaper on gravel") tones of everyone's favorite demon.]

Did you even try to set shit on fire?!

That's really disappointing kid. If you're gonna do somethin', do it right.

(Audio)

[hashtagparkerluck]

I wasn't trying to set things on fire-I'm working on something and I miscalculated but nothing's on fire so that's the important part.

I did lose my experiment though, so that's a bummer.

Re: (Audio)

[creepyoldguy]

So...you doubly failed.

[hashtagparkerluck]

I didn't fail exactly.

I just learned that too much peroxide can cause a minor explosion when mixed with certain other chemicals.

[creepyoldguy]

Mmmmm.....was it enough to use to potentially scare the shit outta someone?

audio

[controlsthedie]

... Is this going to happen on a regular basis?

[ In a quiet car? ]

audio

[hashtagparkerluck]

Uh...

I can't really answer that at this time?

audio

[controlsthedie]

[ The stretch of silence that follows says more than his actual words do. ]

I am beginning to understand why a lab was on the ballot.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Chemistry doesn't leave much room for error so experimenting with things can lead to minor explosions.

But nothing's on fire so it's fine.

[controlsthedie]

This time.

[ Is there the means of putting out a fire in the quiet car? This isn't something Thanatos thought he needed to consider... even with Zagreus stopping by. ]

vidya

[vanity_fair]

That whole place is a tinderbox, I'm surprised it isn't on fire.

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ please ignore that he might be slightly singed. Also, Peter's mind is not going to the actual meaning of tinderbox. ]

um... what?

oh! you meant like-okay. I get it.

and that's not fair. there's only been one fire in there that I'm aware of. [ He also might have been the one to start the fire but that's neither here nor there. ]

(late but oh well)

[goingthroughaphase]

...Are you okay?

[ She'll deal with disappointment later. First things first. ]

[calmness]

That is usually rarely said when things are actually alright and not on fire. [he's amused but also worried.]

Are you injured?
