[wasthemaster]

I, Draco Malfoy, am a genius.

[The video flips around to show a very pleased Mr. Malfoy sitting in the back room of the apothecary he and Euri own before panning down to a variety of little bottles and boxes.]

I just wish it hadn't taken this long to actually get the formulas right. Anyhow, Asclepius has some new inventory. Ask me about it, I dare you. I'm just sorry I haven't finished perfecting my ultimate project. But just you wait. I'll have a grand unveiling soon.

[There…are a lot of other things Draco could talk about if he wanted to. Like the recent trip to Utgard. Or about how he and ??? had interrogated the caught spy. Or about how he had plans now thanks to a conversation with some of the gods.

But he won't. Because he's Draco, why would he ever share anything that didn't come across as incredibly self-centered? It's an act, first and foremost. He has to come off as arrogant and dignified as possible to pretend people didn't see his inner workings. It's probably a giant, failed attempt.]

In the meantime…let's pretend I actually care about the answer to this. Your greatest achievements. Tell me about them? Consider it fuel for another side project of mine…

[Filtered to Riku]

Got something you may be interested in.

[Filtered to ???]

Looks like you're not the only one creating things.

[Filtered to Hermione]

So…when would you like to meet for your first lesson?

[Filtered to Rapunzel]

Now that that's accomplished, how would you like to do some research with me about the rest I'm working on?

[Filtered to Jade]

How do you feel about surprises?

[ She'll ignore his question. For now. ]

[Goddamnit Jade.]

And Bec didn't eat him? I'm impressed. When were you going to show me this picture?

Why achievements? Just why?

He's outside, sitting up against a tree in the park, and there's something round and yellow and fuzzy sitting and sleeping in his lap that can be half-seen.]

What is it? [IGNORING THE QUESTION FOR ACHIEVEMENTS.]

[wasthemaster]

How busy are you at the moment? [Furthermore, what the hell is that in your lap don't think he can't see it bro.]

[audio]

[hollowchild]

I think you already know.

[audio]

[wasthemaster]

You're exempt. Though I suppose you ought to know I'm asking because of you.

[Filtered Audio]

[key_illusion]

Finally. Geez, Draco, that took you forever. [Teasing, teasing.]

But I'll give-- what's your new invention?

[Filtered Audio]

[wasthemaster]

Thanks a lot, Sunny. [It's an uneasy sort of teasing, but it's teasing. He's comfortable enough. Though he does still have a bone to pick with you, dude.]

Variety of potions for defense and stealth. I'm hoping to continue meddling with them to help next time we have to fight.

[unrestrained]

Gee, I wonder why I didn't expect something like this.

[wasthemaster]

I'd actually be quite disappointed if you hadn't.

[Video]

[caduuceus]

"Oh, my own achievements are hardly worth mentioning. I woUld mUch rather hear if yoUr own."

[Video]

[wasthemaster]

But what would be the point of that? I can't exactly draw inspiration from my own all the time. [A beat.] Well. I could, actually, but I'm curious.

[seethelanterns]

My greatest achievement? I guess...going outside, seeing the lanterns?

[Or you know, confronting Mother Gothel and all.]

But sure! I can try and help. Just tell me when and where to meet you.

[wasthemaster]

[There's a small laugh.] Achieving a dream isn't exactly a small feat.

You've never been to my apothecary, have you?

video, private.

[charmandchant]

You have new inventory?

( Enjoy all the raised eyebrows in the world. She'll refrain from commenting on the 'genius' bit because they're trying to be civil here. )

I'm free for lessons any time you are, though evenings are best. I work during the day.

video, private.

[wasthemaster]

Just finished making a new set. I'm working on other things though.

...since when do you have a job?

[samantha_grey]

A genius, you say? What, pray tell, are these new creations of yours right now? You've got me at least a little curious.

[wasthemaster]

You can't exactly deny it. I've been creating a lot of things for defense and a few spy tools. Impressive, isn't it?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Well, at least you're a genius at potion making, sir. [Because it certainly isn't chess~] What is it you made?

And my greatest achievement? Hmm, I'm not sure! I'm really very good at chess, but I don't think I've a greatest achievement!

[Video]

[wasthemaster]

[Heyheyhey. We don't speak of that, Alice :|] Of course I am. I'd be a poor potioneer if I weren't. [Alchemist, now, is the more appropriate title but still.] A lot of things that will hopefully help in the next battle. You know it's going to be soon.

You're still young, Alice. I'd actually be surprised if you had.

[necrowmantic]

I killed like a hundred people once with a single curse!

[Laughing. Yaaay death.]

Whatsa Asclepius and what kind of cool things did you make? Is it poison? Can you make anyone explode??

[wasthemaster]

How, precisely, is that an achievement? [Because he's totally not answering that other question just yet!]

[conquering]

[ she could answer this question in so many different ways. she could tell him she has forced her father to bend a knee to her and made him watch as she took his throne, she could tell him she took what was always hers. she could tell him of armies of dead men or of the time she tore the very veil between life and death, she could tell him all of those for she did them and surely they are achievements, something that will be remembered.

except morgana has found out this is not how she'd want to be remembered and so she says none of these. if she were honest, she'd say, I came back home; I have come this far on my own and returned to my place but that also sounds very intimate.

she smiles instead, mischief found in the corners of her lips. ]

I believe you have already read about my greatest achievements. likely you could tell of them better than I.

[wasthemaster]

There are several books about your accomplishments and Merlin's as well, Morgana. There's a reason I'm always quite impressed with you. [Because despite the not-so-golden things she's done, she's still powerful and she's still a figure he's studied back home. She has her own chocolate frog card for Merlin's sake. That's an accomplishment in and of itself.]

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

So, Mr. Genius, want me to pick up anything in Svaralfaheim? I'm not sure if my world has dwarves, but yours must. [So he's got to be the expert here.]

And I think our shop has made plenty of great achievements. There's that dragon thing, too.

[Audio]

[wasthemaster]

...you know, I actually don't have that much experience with dwarves. [Other than that year Lockhart sent a hoard of them around to deliver singing valentines.] You're going with Sam then?

There's the dragon thing, too, you're right. Feel free to start marketing the new things...the blood replenishing, bruise removal, pain alleviation, and as soon as I test the others...we'll have the cloaking potion and silencer.

[5thchild]

I was able to create a song.

What is yours?

[Video]

[wasthemaster]

There are a lot of things I've achieved, though I'm debating if they're good or bad things.

Why is creating a song such a great accomplishment?

[bowdown]

conquered a whale mothafuckin galaxy

[wasthemaster]

What the hell is a whale galaxy.

[guidethesun]

Uh...just what do you mean by fuel?

video.

[wasthemaster]

Inspiration. Ideas. Surely you can understand that.

filtered; apparently this is gonna be a thing for a while

[feathery]

why the dare

filtered;

[wasthemaster]

Why not? Maybe it's a bit of a show, maybe it's just because I want to see how many people rise to bait.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Formulas? What for?

[ Tell me more. ]

[Video]

[wasthemaster]

Potions of course. [Hello Eleven.] I've finally completed formulas for potions to manipulate properties of the human body. Blood replenishing, bruise removal, invisibility? Those sort of things.

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

New inventory? What kind?

[It might be worth it to stop by and see the additions himself, especially if they would be useful in his med kits.]

[Video]

[wasthemaster]

A few little things that I'm hoping will help us in the next battle. Blood replenishing potions, bruise removal potions, pain alleviating...and those are just the defensive ones.
