Entry #20011406

[inui]

I spent most of yesterday afternoon setting up a mini potions area on the currently-unoccupied side of my room. Suzu kept nipping at me during this process, but I couldn't quite figure out why. ...Then one of my vials of Felix Felicis shattered during a move and seeped into a slightly damaged bottle of the Draught of the Living Death and... that's all I remember. I'm around 88.4% sure that the combination of the two potions caused a deep sleep instead of a coma, as is warranted by the Draught. I can only surmise that it was due to the Felix Felicis that I was spared another extended stay in the Infirmary for potions-related mishaps.

Nonetheless, I look forward to the Potions lessons this term. I do apologize in advance if my experiments cause any... undue side-effects.

(ooc: this is Suzu, isn't she cute? // also, Inui has a tendency to make potions explode in class. normally towards the end after they've been graded, so it's up to you if you want your character to be splattered by the concoction Inui's created)

Suzu always had a better sense of self-preservation. Is that why she came to look for me?

[inui]

She did? I would venture it's a 73.1% possibility.

[ever_yanagi]

I think you need unbreakable vials, Sadaharu.

[inui]

I have experimented with a non-shattering charm, but it doesn't seem to hold for very long. Perhaps it's due to the volatile nature of the potions held within. Perhaps I shall have to invest in them.

[ever_yanagi]

I also think experimenting in your own bedroom is an unwise decision. Perhaps somewhere...reinforced...would be more appropriate.

[inui]

If I had a roommate, Renji, I wouldn't be, but the dorm is rather reinforced as is and I've also put protection charms on all items in case of catastrophe. I promise not to cause any great disruption.

[ever_yanagi]

I note you do not promise to avoid having to visit the infirmary on potions-related incidents.

[inui]

Not all experiments are successful, Renji. I can't make a promise I will inevitably break.

[ever_yanagi]

Then at least wear the appropriate protective gear. Perhaps I should find you a face-shield.

[inui]

My glasses are quite adept at providing protection. You worry too much, Renji.

[ever_yanagi]

If you tally up the number of times you have sustained ill effects due to splash damage...perhaps you might have a different conclusion, Sadaharu.

[inui]

...I think that number might be longer than the digits of Pi.

[ever_yanagi]

My point exactly.

[inui]

Perhaps I shall strengthen my protection charms.

[chinmoku]

Do you... just have multiple bottles of Felicis laying around or what?

[inui]

One less now, but yes.

[chinmoku]

Maybe if you drank one instead of spilling it, you could avoid the infirmary altogether?

[inui]

I only use it to experiment on permanence. Using it for daily consumption is unethical.

[chinmoku]

Is it also unethical to experiment with the help of liquid luck?

[inui]

If I were using it to further my education, then yes, but I am merely experimenting on the potion itself.
