Re: A Potion a Day...

Thyme takes a deep breath, closing her eyes for a few moments in
an attempt to get her nerves under control. It works, for the
most part, though she still feels distinctly uncomfortable being
surrounded by strange ponies. Vita being there helps a bit, a
familiar face giving her some sense of security. She raises her
eyes again and nods, not bothering with a napkin herself as she
heads for the door. "I'm alright." she reassures as she swerves
around an older couple coming through the door, her magic
reaching out to stop it closing to allow herself and Vita
through. "Just..." She glances around at the busy street as she
rolls through the open door, and shrinks down in her seat a
little. "Too crowded." With a glance back at Vita, and another
deep breath, she rolls out into the street, though this time she
stays at a regular walking pace despite her nerves.

"Okay," Vita says with a nod when Thyme assures her that she is
alright, the doctor breaking off a piece of her bagel as it
floated next to her then dipping it into one of the extra
containers of cream cheese to make it better before floating it
to her mouth as the other mare came outside. Once back in the
street Vita followed the older pony, food and drink being
expertly bobbed and woven up down and around any other
individuals that crossed their paths as they trotted and wheeled
their way to the alchemy shop nearby, Vita slowing and
eventually coming to a pause when she spotted somepony inside
through its front windows. "Hey, Thyme," she speaks up to try
and catch the other mares attention, "did you leave the door
unlocked when we left? Cause it looks like you've got a customer
or somepony in there."

Thyme takes a sip of her hot cocoa as she wheels through the
street, the beverage helping to keep her nerves in check around
so many ponies. Still, she keeps Vita between herself and the
majority of the crowd. She leans forward just a little to get a
better view through the shop windows as they approach, and Vita
points out there's someone inside. She can't see much from here
though, and can't tell if it's somepony she recognizes. "We were
only going down the street so I didn't bother." She answers,
drawing close enough to pull the door open with her magic. She
rolls inside, finally getting a good look at the well-dressed
stallion waiting inside. "Hello Chaser." She greets as she holds
the door open for Vita, instantly relaxing now that she's back
in the familiarity of her shop. She rolls across the store to
the counter, setting her drink down before looking back at
Chaser. "What brings you here today?"

Patiently sitting near the shop's counter and looking around at
The Alembic's many different colored potions in their different
sized and shaped bottles as he waited for its owner to return, a
brown coated earth pony with a neat blonde mane hummed a small
tune as he idly tapped a front on his black case he always
carried with him wherever he went and had now laid out in front
of him. This was... what... stop nine on his list for today?
Yeah, something like that... Busy busy... He'd double check his
schedule after he was done here to be sure. Still needed to have
lunch too but, if he remembered right, he'd get to have
something special today if he just hung in there. Stop number
11, 12, 13 or whichever number was a talk over a meal at the
Stake House, so all in good time... Mmm... Kabobs...
Being pulled out of his tasty thoughts by the returning mares,
Chaser put on a smile and stood up, "Afternoon, Thyme," he
returned the greeting, giving the mare she was with a small nod
in hello as well before lifting his case up and onto the shops
counter as they entered, "and possibly a few things depending on
how it goes. However I can assure you that this time I'm not
here to drop off some colt or filly for you to show how not to
have their potions blow up in their faces." He joked before
looking between the white mare that had arrived with Thyme and
the alchemist, "But first, who's your friend? I hope I
wasn't"interrupting your lunches." Considering how hungry he
himself was, the sight of food making him wish he was on around
step 10 even more than before, he wouldn't wish that on anypony.

Thyme gives a slight nod, glad that at least she wouldn't have
to deal with somepony inexperienced getting into all of her
equipment and ingredients, even if it was a slow day. She looks
over at Vita for a moment, then back at Chaser. "This is Vita,
my family doctor. Vita, this is Chaser. He's a representative of
the Marigold Consortium." The green mare's horn flashes for a
second, giving the counter a quick clean before setting her
bagel down. "I can wait a little bit." She answers him, though
her stomach gives a slight gurgle of protest. She looks over at
Vita, remembering how she'd accidentally ignored her earlier.
"Do you mind if I talk with him a little? It hopefully won't
take long."

Vita gave a small wave of her hoof in hello as she was
introduced, her breaking off another piece of her bagel and
doing the same with this one as she had with the other before it
was sent to meet the same fate. Marigold? The doctor thought she
heard that name before, but she wasn't one to be familiar with
many organizational type things that dealt outside of her own
field. Either way, it seemed this pony had come to talk some
kind of business with Thyme and Vita didn't want to hinder their
discussion or listen in on things that didn't concern her. "No
problem, Thyme," she replied with a smile as she took a step
closer to the stallion to offer a hoof to bump, "business is
business after all, and don't rush just for me. I need to show
this bagel and coffee who's boss anyway, and some sun might help
my drink in charging me back up." The doctor assured then turned
around to trot back to the door. "It was a pleasure meeting you,
Chaser!" She adds, "And I'll be just outside, Thyme," then
informs before walking back out to the street, the mare not
taking long in finding a nearby bench to rest on as she resumed
her piling on of cream cheese onto her poor bagel, the mare
using her magic to protect her from the second torrent of coffee
she was now gulping down.

"Likewise!" Chaser replied as the mare left after their hoof
bump, him not really feeling they'd actually properly met, but
she seemed more fascinated with that bagel at the moment. He
couldnt blame her, the sound of Thymes grumbling belly only
serving to remind him of how he was now having to force the
naughty thought of swiping the older mares own bagel for himself
out of his mind. Once Vita had left the shop Chaser turned back
to face the mare he'd come to see, him giving a slight shrug
before sitting back onto his rump to free up his front hooves,
"Well, may as well get right into it then, eh?" He said as he
unclicked the locks keeping his case secure, it opening on his
side just enough for him to remove a small glass jar, its
contents hidden behind rag that had been wrapped around it for
added padding to protect the container and tied securely into
place with some twine, the only thing showing being left exposed
to show what it was being the cork peeking out from the top as
well as its general shape that was no doubt quite familiar to
the alchemist given her daily handling of such things, "How in
the mood for something new to play around with would you say you
are today?' He asked the alchemist as his case was clicked close
once more.

Thyme nods at Vita as she goes to let her talk with Chaser,
calling a "I'll try to be quick." after her before turning back
to face Chaser. She rolls a little closer as he opens his
briefcase, leaning in to get a better look at the wrapped jar he
retrieves. She raises one eyebrow, curious about what could be
so fragile it needs that. Or maybe whatever it was was light
sensitive? "I'm always interested in new ingredients." She
answers, a tiny smile betraying her rising excitement. "What
have you got for me?" She inches closer, eager to see what could
lie within the sealed container.

"What I've got here is something we don't exactly know what to
do with at the moment," Chaser responded, him casting a brief
glance back at the front windows of the shop before returning
his attention to the jar that soon found its way into his hoof,
"This here is a by-product of another project we have going
elsewhere," he began to explain, pausing to take a breath that
he then held as he used his teeth to pull out the cork in the
jar, the earth pony then using his other hoof to fan away the
small gray smoky poof that escaped out into the open air once it
had the chance. "Do you have some paper I can use for this?"
Chaser requested, spitting the cork of the jar out of his mouth
and onto his case then breathing normally again, "I wouldn't
want to get any of this on your counter."

Thyme watches Chaser open the jar curiously, one eyebrow rising
slightly at the puff of smoke that emerges from the jar. She
gives a nod and rolls down the counter a short distance to grab
her notebook, the green mare tearing out a blank page and
setting it down for Chaser to put whatever was in the jar down.
"How can you be sure it will make a good ingredient?" She asks,
staying close to where the paper lay so she can get a good look
at the stuff. "And is it dangerous?"
