[The image is a somewhat rare sight. Samantha is seated behind a worktable. There are a series of beakers in front of her and she seems to have something or another bubbling in a larger one of them. She takes a whiff of it and nodded in satisfaction before shifting to the side and looking at the camera.

Did she have a sort of smirk on her face?]

So, here I am working on magical defenses against the rigors of making certain fish-brained, fin-rotted, purple-obsessed morons look like chumps, and I was almost curious if they were making any progress with their "White Sciences" [Yes, she actually made the quote signs with her fingers as she said that, snickering.] in preparing my ultimate downfall. I mean, it isn't as if they don't prattle about all the ways they're going to have me at their mercy, and I was honest to god wondering if all of that was just a bunch of hot air.

...this is Eridan Ampora. What the hell am I talking about? Of course anything Captain Ahab's said's all hot air.

[Another snicker. Anyone who knew Samantha very well might recognize that some of it was effected bravado. She was still struggling with what her feelings were about him, but these little games were much easier to play on the network, and part of her had a feeling he'd get a kick out of shouting back at her.]

But, since I was thinking about it, I got to thinking some more. What really are the differences between magic and science? It's not like I haven't talked with a few of you about this, and I know what a certain moron thinks on the subject, but all the same with the power turned back on through the runes so to speak and with us able to affix just a little bit of the power of this world into a potion, I was wondering what some of you might have thought was the difference.

Oh, and Ahab, I am expecting great things out of you. Just so you know. Don't think I'm sitting idle over at the shop all the time.

You can thank your brain for that. Have you ever considered bathing in tomato juice daily? Being you reeks-- literally.

We tried that when I was younger. Doesn't work, and it gets real bad... well, when I'm aroused. [She muttered, annoyed at her physiology for the tenth time that day.] It's like my tail. It doesn't go away, and perfumes just mask it a little.

Ew. Ever tried shaving your skin off and removing every gland in your body? Come on, I bet there's something that can make you smell a little less like a match.

[She chuckled and scratched her head.]

I'll try to wear a bit of deoderant or put some sage out when you stop by next time. That should help.

[Unfortunately, Eve, part of the problem was that she had admitted she was a little attracted to you, even if she didn't want to talk about it anymore. Ergo, she's a little stronger around you... not that it wasn't possible with pretty much anyone sometimes, like it or not.]

At least fin-rot doesn't mind it. That's sort of the important part.

With a nickname like that, I think he's too busy smelling his own body odor to care about yours.

[Of course, Eve being Eve, that little bit is completely lost on her. The amount of poops she gives over people being attracted to her are so minimal, they might as well be the size of nanobes.]

[That actually helped at times. It meant only one of them was thinking about it ever.]

Heh. He doesn't smell that bad unless he's been swimming.

--In the lake?

[THAT IDEA SOUNDS GROSS, YO.]

Yeah, that'd make it worse than most, wouldn't it? But I think it's just that fishy smell he gets when he's wet.

Wow. That's even grosser than I thought. Natural tuna can smell.

Only a little. It's not so bad that it really bothers me. I just notice it a little sometimes.

I'll take your word for it.

[LIST OF SMELLS EVE CAN NEVER EVER STAND:

> that's it that is the list]

[Well, upsides to this were that she wasn't competing for the idiot, and that she could deal with the sulfur.]

Might want to avoid me if we've been kissing in the rain.

[She did that on purpose.]

[A snort.]

If there's been rain, the last place you're going to find me is outside.

Now you're just making me want to show up on your doorstep or something. The little bum still stops by Baldr now and again after all. We could shake off like dogs and get you all wet too.

[Now she's just being silly.]

That's assuming I would open my door in the first place.

You've got a point. I'd just have to look through the keyhole and make you open it, wouldn't I? Ugh, but then I'd have to use that stinking power of mine.

bleh, no thank you. Use it enough as is.

Is it even possible to look through keyholes these days?

Don't you go using all that new fangled logic on me now. I'll find a way to sneak a peek. That's all I need.

I think you mean common sense-- which, by the way, is telling me you won't be able to. Have fun trying, though.

I think that's a dare. That almost sounds like a dare, Eve. Hehe, god, we have the dumbest conversations sometimes.

You mean, you say the dumbest things and I get dragged along? Sure, yeah. That's what happens.

It takes two to tango, Eve. You've got your share in this stupidity.

Can I take a rain check instead?

Hah, but you're already dancing the dumbass with me right now. But fine, we can call it quits while we're behind.

I disagree, but sure. Quitting before it gets too embarrassing sounds fine by me.
