[For a change, Sirius actually looks happy as he puts up a new post. This can be attributed to a single fact.]

I've been working on it with Kaylee for a long time and recently I actually managed to fix her up completely. Not quite the same I used to have, but close enough.

[With that he tilts the watch a bit and holds his arm out so a motorcycle he's currently sitting on comes into view.]

She already made it through some rides, so no worries there. Just one question and I'm sure at least one esteemed expert is watching my every move as always anyway and can answer: Are there any air traffic rules for this place?

[Actual pictures after the cut. This is forever how I can justify this PB choice.]

Pills that help you sleep? Like a sleeping potion, I guess?

[alwaysimpure]

Oh, well. I should have figured that. Do you have... dreamless pills?

[thneed]

I think they are dreamless?

Maybe I can invent them if they're not! ...Or wait I'm not a chemist or anything.

[alwaysimpure]

There is a potion called dreamless draught, but it doesn't work against... Not against everything.

What's a chemist?

[thneed]

Do you have really bad nightmares?

A guy that works with chemicals. [ ... ] Oh. Wait. I guess I am one of those technically.

[alwaysimpure]

Hm, you could say that.

Chemicals are... Damn, I really need to brush up on my muggle knowledge some time. They are like ingredients for potions?

...I thought you just made pizza and rhymed. Outside of this place doing stuff to you.

[thneed]

That sinks.

Yeah. Like gas and toxic waste and salt...

You thought I only made pizza and rhymed? Sirius, please. I'm an inventor.

[alwaysimpure]

...how does salt fit into this.

To be fair, I think your pizza is excellent. And your rhymes usually rhyme!

I invented a map once. What do you invent?

[thneed]

Salt is a chemical? I think.

They always rhyme.

[ CLEARS THROAT: ] Tree combs, Miwi-amps, super axe hackers, gruvvulous gloves, lubricating gears, bunny toothpaste, remote chair, a singing rubber ducky, foldable collapsible rvs, various fish filters, truffula-fruit pancakes if that counts as an invention that's more of a foodvention heh...heh... Then there's whisper-ma-phones, radio-phones, icee-undies, the mattress-fisher, scuba duck, and the thneed (which is the best one), a couple of random things with one-time uses, ...and a bunch of things that would have been useful but I'm not exactly proud of because Mom made it very clear they were horrible massive failures.

Etc etc etc... I invent everything.

[alwaysimpure]

[He listens carefully, eyebrows gradually going higher and higher. Here he had thought Once-ler was just comic relief a strange bloke with a lot of enthusiasm for strange things, but this is something else.]

Maybe we should consider collaborating...

[thneed]

Yeah?

Okay but maybe not chemical collaborations. I probably shouldn't touch chemicals.

[alwaysimpure]

What about potions?

[thneed]

Those might be okay.

[ isn't that basically playing magic chemistry set?? ]

[alwaysimpure]

[It is. So, more effects that obey less laws of physic.]

Brilliant! Come by my shop some time, we can invent something.

You can even sell it.

[thneed]

Really? That'd be great! I'll come by later.

[ later like actually later in the day. like he's gonna put this off. ]

[alwaysimpure]

I can't wait!

[Hey, he's down with that. There's a crazy scientist somewhere inside every wizard that develops something like the Marauder's Map in his teens.]

[thneed]

Great! This'll be so much fun.

[ once-ler invents things like GIANT SPINNING AXE CARS and boobie-traps that fling you 40 feet in the air.

this is going to get dangerous ]

[alwaysimpure]

[Combining that with wizard's apparently natural inclination towards destructiveness and the +9 to that of being a marauder and the fact that Sirius made a motorcycle fly...

New Moore better watch out.]

Alright! I can show you what I'm working on right now.

[thneed]

[ whatever they make will be awesome though ]

What are you working on right now?

[alwaysimpure]

[Awesome and probably only a little dangerous!

Maybe.]

Couple of things, wand cores have been a project for a while, but I kind of focus on less complicated stuff that might sell. Not planning on selling wands to anyone.

[thneed]

[ maybe. ]

Are wands that complicated?

[alwaysimpure]

...I'd say so, yeah. Takes a lot of practice and inside knowledge I don't actually possess.
