deal 006 ❖ [video]

[The video is on. But Rumpelstiltskin is unaware of this, largely because it was turned on as it was flung against a wall.

He's having a bit of a tantrum. These are, thankfully, quite rare, but also quite violent. There is broken glass strewn about, vials and bottles shattered and small pools of variously colored liquids.]

Useless! All of this entirely useless. How is it there's not one pair in true love in this entire mess of an existence?!

[It's about here his eyes fall on his communicator and he realizes he's being watched. He straightens up a bit, schools his face into a bit of a smile. Tense around the edges, pulled a bit too taut over his features.]

Well dearies, sorry you had to see that. Call it a bit of frustration and homesickness. I suppose perhaps while I have some of your attention, I should make the most of it. What is the happiest memory you have? What would you be willing to sacrifice to reclaim it?

None.

[Here he just laughs again at that, waving a hand dismissively at the idea.] Nothing worth apologizing over. Past is past. Love a fleeting glimmer of light.

There are other things.

Some would argue that love is something that endures the test of time. I guess it depends on your own experiences as to which is the truth.

[All those vials and glassware reminded her of her own lab...]

So... what exactly are you working on over there?

Video

[intogold]

Some would argue that, yes. And some would be right. Perhaps.

[He glances around as well, fingers wiggling just a bit as he says.] Magic. Magic, deary.

[aka_catherine]

Magic, hmm~? [That was a subject that she had studied extensively at home...]

What's the desired result?

Video

[intogold]

In this instance? I'm trying to prepare a potion. If I succeed its use would be... rather versatile. And hopefully have a bit of an impact against the darkness.

With any luck.

A potion? [Such things would normally be considered poppycock by the scientific community..... but this was Washu]

If you're able to concoct something like that then I bet there's a lot I could learn from you~!

[intogold]

[Science. Pff. What is that even?]

There's always something to learn from everyone, deary. But I've a good handle on quite a bit of magic myself.

[Science is everything 8/]

That may be true but sometimes they aren't always subjects that were truly want to learn about~ [Magic on the other hand..]

Video

[intogold]

Well, everyone has different interests, I imagine. [Magic was one that captivated many though.]
