[One of these days, Samantha meant to do one of these addresses somewhere outside of her lab. But, at this point, it had become a security blanket. Part of her was just used to doing something with her hands, and right then she was going over a series of notes she'd acquired from Sophie. A beaker was bubbling, and there was something dark green in it. In the background a stone humanoid shape could be seen.]

Some of you know Draco and Castiel aren't with us anymore. Since they and Euri disappeared, Asclepius is still open, though I'm going to leave to Sophie any announcements she's got on how things will be running over there. But, in the meantime, Pinch of Sage is going to be one of the only potions shops in town. There's still apothecaries among the natives... but at the same time I seem to have inherited several new recipes. Sleeping draughts are still pretty popular, go fig. If you used to buy something from one of those shops, I can probably make it now, but stocks are getting limited. I've rebuilt my greenhouse two times since I got here, and I've had it reinforced, so I can grow a few of the magical herbs, but my stock from Utgard's almost dry, so I can only make what I can grow or get from Alfheim.

[She snorted a little sardonic laugh at that. A link was put into the updated potions list available at Pinch. Just below them are the Prices.]

Oh... and since we're all getting back on our feet from having this place remind us how close we are to the final battles... take what the Doctor says to heart. [Her eyes hardened and she frowned.] This isn't over until you're dead. I'll keep brewing this crap to help you guys until the bitter end, and I'm not one to give up even when I should. I am going to stand over that cold-hearted witch's ashes and laugh before they ship us home. Mark my words.

[Lilly has no clue who Santa is, so she ignores the reference. That tail is cool, though. She waves back at it.]

Re: [video]

[samantha_grey]

Hehe, most people get a little weirded out about the tail. What's your name, kid? [She cocked her head curiously.]

[video]

[fuckingwolverine]

Lilly.

No tail.

[She sounds a little disappointed. Having a tail would be pretty awesome.]

Re: [video]

[samantha_grey]

Hehe, yeah, most people don't have tails. Trust me, they're not all they're cracked up to be. They get caught in the weirdest places sometimes.

[video]

[fuckingwolverine]

[Oh, she can imagine.]

Doors!

Re: [video]

[samantha_grey]

Doors, tables, chairs, getting twisted up every time I try to dance. You've got the idea pretty well. Wouldn't want to be without it, but it's kind of a pain somedays.

[video]

[fuckingwolverine]

Chairs.

[She says the word in a clearly dismissive tone.]

Floor.

Re: [video]

[samantha_grey]

Floor? What about the floor? I'm not sure that I understand?

[video]

[fuckingwolverine]

Sit.

[Sorry, Sam. She's gradually getting better with the whole "interacting with people means having a conversation with words used in clear ways" thing, but it's a slow process.]

Re: [video]

[samantha_grey]

Are you telling me to... oh! You mean it'd be hard to sit? No... it's set into my spine so it comes out the tailbone. I just let it slip between my legs. I'm used to sitting with it.

[video]

[fuckingwolverine]

No.

[She sounds frustrated, even though the misunderstanding is entirely her own fault. And she switches to text, because she likes it better than talking:]

sit on floor not chairs i dont like chairs why are there chairs

Re: [video]

[samantha_grey]

Eh, cause some people like 'em? [She chuckled.] You don't really need to sit in a chair if you don't want to, you know.

[video]

[fuckingwolverine]

i don't

floor

Re: [video]

[samantha_grey]

Yeah, go ahead and use the floor anytime you want as far as I'm concerned. Chairs are just for folks that like them.

[video]

[fuckingwolverine]

why do you like them why

Re: [video]

[samantha_grey]

Don't really care either way. I just know ways to sit on them despite my tail.

[video]

[fuckingwolverine]

why are they there why do other people like them

Re: [video]

[samantha_grey]

Everyone's different. You'll get different answers from different people.

[video]

[fuckingwolverine]

everyone is weird

Re: [video]

[samantha_grey]

Everyone. You've got kind of an odd way of saying things, you know.

[video]

[fuckingwolverine]

why

Re: [video]

[samantha_grey]

Not sure. You just use very short, clipped phrases. I'm not completely sure what you mean all the time.

dont like talking why do we have to talk

[Writing is better. She couldn't do it before she came here, but it's less tiring than talking. Since Asgard gave her the ability, it comes to her easier than trying to form words she's not used to.]

Text

[samantha_grey]

[She pondered that for a moment before switching to text.]

Is this easier for you as a rule?

Text

[fuckingwolverine]

writing yes writing is

talking is hard
