RP General Discussion

@Wriggle
The narrative imagery! The narrative imagery! Disgusting but effective. Reminds a bit of the style of narrative imagery in a Touhou creepypasta I read for a video once (it is still up). The creepypasta itself was awful in terms of writing but the narrative imagery is something that should never be discussed. Especially when a number of my favourites are victims in it.

@Trk
I am merely a novice in Logimancy ^^;;

@Wriggle
Yeah. But my mind is very susceptible to narrative imagery. One semi-accurate description of certains events or characters and my mind will reconstruct it. This made me chafe a bit when reading that creepypasta (especially the Scarlet sisters parts). Even though I was a major Touhou newb then, it was still effective. If I were to look back on it now, it would be MUCH worse.
Also, Logimancy? Pfft! Try Oneiromancy. It's rather interesting.

Let's see if Voile has a book on that.

*heads to Voile library

@Wriggle

Just a quick question, did you get that idea from Fullmetal Alchemist? It's so similair, only with Homunculus instead of Chimera.

@Kat
Actually it's from a sequel of "The Name of this Book is Secret".

@Katrix
OH GOD! Not the Mrs. Elric incident! *runs away in fear*

@Wriggle
I've always imagined Patchouli to have moderate interest in the study of night-related subjects. Astronomy, Astrology, Oneiromancy... It's a major reason why I choose to represent myself as Patchouli (when I'm not psychotic and being a mad Flandre). Because she was really the only character I could find at the time that could have such interests. Of course there is Eirin and such, but Patchouli was the first one.

@Wriggle
Copy paste from the wiki. It's just so similair.

Spoiler

In return for his assistance in the Bald incident, Edward asks Colonel Roy Mustang to help him learn more about bio-alchemy in case it holds the secret of restoring his body. Mustang refers Ed to Shou Tucker, a State Alchemist specializing in creation of chimeric alchemy who had earned his certification two years prior after producing a chimera capable of human speech. However, Mustang informs Ed that the creature had only said "I want to die" and did not live very long afterward. Introduced to Tucker, Edward explains his intentions and is granted access to the multitude of bio-alchemical texts in the alchemist's private home library. While Edward delves into the books, however, Alphonse becomes acquainted with Tucker's young daughter Nina and their dog Alexander, eventually dragging Ed into their merriment. Unable to find the information they need by sundown, the brothers resolve to return the next day and continue their research, but as they leave, their escort 2nd Lt. Jean Havoc relays a message from the Colonel to Shou Tucker - saying that the "Sewing-Life" Alchemist's yearly assessment is approaching. When young Nina asks her father to explain, he tells her that a State Alchemist must submit the results of his or her research for the year in order to qualify for further grant money. If the result assessment is unsatisfactory, said alchemist risks removal from the State Alchemist program.

The Elric brothers return the next day to continue their studies but decide to spend their time playing with Nina when the little girl reveals how lonely she has been in the past two years since her mother left and her father became engrossed in his research. Meanwhile, Shou struggles desperately to draft a satisfactory assessment report. On the following day, the boys return once again, but are surprised to find the house dark and apparently empty. searching for the Tuckers, they reach a back room where Shou declares that he has created a second talking chimera. He shows it off to the astonished boys and even teaches it to repeat Edward's name, but when the chimera refers to Ed as "Big Brother" without prompt, Fullmetal realizes the horrible truth - that the creature before him was created by fusing Nina and Alexander together, just as Shou's first talking chimera was forged from his mysteriously absent wife. When Sewing-Life dejectedly confirms as much, Edward furiously condemns Tucker for playing around with people's lives, but Tucker responds by accusing Fullmetal of being the same as him - of playing around with his brother's life and performing Human Transmutation simply to test his own abilities. Hearing this, Edward flies into a rage and begins beating Tucker savagely with his automail fist, causing Alphonse to restrain his brother physically to keep Sewing-Life from being beaten to death. Alphonse apologizes to Nina, saying that neither he nor his brother has the ability to undo the damage her father did to her, and the boys report the situation to East City HQ.

Welcome back

I'm back! :p

Patchouli is AT LEAST an Astronomer. She has a giant teleacscope dammit.

She is also an Alchemist (lots of mercury and other metals used) and a Meteorologist, (a globe that tracks weather patterns) so who knows?
