What's up, ￩4
Man, I am so bored. I've been conducting research
here for, like, ever.
The prof said he'd come by and check out my
progress, but I sure haven't seen him yet.
Look, ￩4
Buzz off, ￩4
I bet you get kinda antsy with all that standing
around at the workbench, huh? Yeah, me too.
That's why I was so stoked to learn you can make
items automatically! Boom!
I mean, we're able to make a bunch of items at
once, right? This is just another trick in the bag!
Of course, the quality isn't great. But at least you
won't be stuck in front of the workbench all day!
You have to completely master a formula before you
can start making it automatically.
No pain, no gain, ￩4
You hit Adept rank, huh? Yeah, that's right.
I listen to the gossip.
Now that you're an Adept, I guess I'd be willing to
go along with you next time you gather materials.
You could probably use my help. And I could use
a break from working on my stupid thesis!
You're totally unlike any other Alchemist I've ever
met, ￩4
Heya, ￩4
I am SO glad to finally be done with that stupid
thesis!
I've been spending too much time writing and not
enough time blowing stuff up!
Whoa! I can't believe you managed to rank up to
Master. You must be serious about alchemy, huh?
Well, since you're such a dedicated Alchemist,
I guess I can share my big secret with you...
I invented a SUPER-cool new item. I call it the
Love Bomb!
Every time I invent something, someone else takes
credit for it! Or tells me it's already been invented!
So I'm keeping this on the down low, you get
my drift? Don't breathe a word about it!
This Love Bomb of mine has the power to restore
the HP of your entire party!
I mean, it will once I MAKE it. See, I've invented the
formula, but I haven't actually built the bomb.
Honestly, bomb making is pretty dangerous. And for
this one, I gotta get my hands on gel...
And you need to get that from a Jelly, right? Man, oh
man. I hate touching those things!
You know, it seems like whenever we chat, all you do
is talk about yourself.
Lemme tell you a little something about ME for once.
OK?
Flamel sent me to Port Puerto to get this region
all amped up about the art and science of alchemy.
I figured it'd be a cinch, but here I am working my
tail to the bone! Work, work, work...
My visions of chillin' on the beach have gone up in
smoke. Lots of smoke. From big bombs. *sigh*
Port Puerto's a nice enough place, but I'm not really
taking advantage of the night Life.
Or day Life, for that matter. All I do is work on my
stupid thesis!
At this point, I'd just be happy settling down with
some nice lady Alchemist and opening our own lab.
So! A Legend, eh? Not bad, not bad.
We should talk shopping sometime. Like, where to
find the best Bunsen burners, stuff like that.
I was talking to this lady the other day, and I told
her how much I love Bunsen burners.
She completely freaked out! I guess she thought I
was talking about burning bunnies or something...
It's probably for the best. I can't date someone
who doesn't even know what a Bunsen burner is!
The best thing about "evaporation" is that you can
just add water to the powder to create a drink!
I mean, that's completely brilliant, right? Professor
Flamel didn't think so. He told me I was crazy...
"No one's gonna want to drink powder, Petri!" he
said. Forget him! This is a scientific breakthrough!
Whoa, ￩4
I've come up with a lot of brilliant ideas in my Life,
but I've finally come up with the MOST brilliant one.
What if we could harness the power of the sun
using a semiconductor to absorb the energy?
All we'd have to do is free up the electrons and
BAM! You've got voltage. No-cost energy!
I tried telling Professor Flamel about my idea, but
he walked away in the middle of my presentation.
I guess if it doesn't blow up, he just doesn't have
any interest in it...
