It had been a long few weeks, travelling from Darkveil back to Sol City. It was an annoying journey, their leg getting in the way of sneaking rides. But, they were finally back again, in the familiar streets of Sol City. They had seen some advertisements looking for people to test out some potions, so thats where they were heading currently. Their left leg dragging behind them, they headed to the shop where the alchemists posts had mentioned they would be at.
Coming to the building, they noticed some others in there who were also testing out potions. Some sat on stools at a table, while others sat on the floor or random boxes. The place was pretty messy, shelves lining the walls and dust all over. Apple sneezed as they walked in, calling the attention of the alchemist.
"Oh ho ho! Welcome, welcome, what can I do for ya kid?" She asked, looking at Apple as she placed her head in one of her hands. They were on a separate table, with lists and baubles all over it. Apple looked up at the alchemist and gave their reply. "I'm here to help with the potion testing, if you want someone else." Her eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled out a chair for Apple.
"Lovely, lovely, please do take a seat kid. I've got some that I've been needing to test out, you're just time time! Indeed you are, let me go grab those for ya kid." The dark elf went on, grabbing a large box of potions and plopping it down in front of Apple. She adjusted the goggles that rested on her forehead and plucked out a bottle. "Here! Try this one!"
Apple took it and studied it for a moment, making the dark elf laugh. "I see! Cautious kid, good good. Don't you worry about a thing though! We're totally helpful here in my shop, yes we are. As long as you don't try and run away with any of these, you'll be all good." The alchemist waved a hand in the air as she talked, animating her movements.
They shrugged and opened the potion, taking a sip and making a sour face. The alchemist laughed again, obviously enjoying Apples reaction. "Come on! Try another sip, your a brave kid I can tell. Go ahead, try the whole thing!" Apple looked at it, and then quickly drank it all. The face they made was obviously priceless to the dark elf, and they gave a loud laugh. "Aha! I knew I should have tried to make it sweeter. Well, how do you feel kid?"
Apple squinted, thinking. "I feel normal except for the taste in my mouth?" They replied, the end of their sentence lifting into a question. The dark elf frowned, taking the bottle and squinting at it. "Oh, huh. Welp!" She said loudly, tossing the bottle behind her and letting the glass make a loud shattering noise. "Lets wait a moment, and then try another, alright kid?" She said, smiling widely. Apple nodded, and the alchemist took the box and placed it on the counter, beginning to scribble on a list.
