*crouched over a series of vials in an empty classroom, fingers stained a livid green and twitching as they itch like mad*

..I hate Potions.....

-peeks around the door, drawn to the classroom by the scent of chemicals-

... Jei. I see you're out of hospital.

*raises head, focusing on the door and her voice*

*unwilling nod -- aware that he'll be back there in a day or two for March's full moon... and also aware that he's been a bit of a jerk over the last month or so*

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

*notices the journal entry and sets off to find Jei even though Vivi sucks at potions too*

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*falls over backwards, flailing at a cloud of purple smoke*

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

*follows the smoke as that is surely a sign of potion problems* Jei? Is that you?

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*cough* Vivi! Don't come in the-- *massive hacking coughing fit*

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

*stops short and backs up a bit* Umm ... *thinks hard and manages to remember a spell that should help and thus begins clearing the smoke (thank you lucky clover)* Jei? Are you alright in there?

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*emerges from the smoke, coughing and gasping, stumbling to his knees*

It's... yes, it's... *gasp* ..going away.... *shakes head, disoriented, blinking back tears from the stinging smoke and unable to figure out, in the disturbed air, what direction Vivi is in*

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

Aah! Are you really sure that you're okay? That smoke ... it was from a potion so it could have been dangerous.

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

I'll be... *cough* ..fine in a minute, it... it's just stinking.... *focusing on the location of his voice* Th-thanks.

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

Ah, no, it was nothing. I'm just glad you're okay.

*waves hand about to clear a bit of lingering smoke* I'm really not that good at potions, but ... do you want any help?

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*fleeting grin, waves a hand toward the mess* Is anything broken over there?


[[You decide. XD]]

*Was on her way to tutoring when she hears Jei, goes in*

Jei?

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*coughing from the purple smoke, can't quite hear who it is*

Who's there?

[shirayukiwitch.livejournal.com]

*Comes towards him, waving away smoke*

It's me, Rukia. What were you trying to do here?

*Surveys his work*

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*cough* M-make a Shrinking Solution... it wasn't supposed to do this, though....

*waves his hands at the ingredients -- one of which clearly says "Infusion of Foxglove" instead of "Infusion of Mugwort", but both fluids are odorless, giving him no way of telling them apart*

[shirayukiwitch.livejournal.com]

Let me see.
*Looks at his ingredients*

Ah, I see where you went wrong. For a Shrinking Solution you need Infusion of Mugwort and it looks like you added instead Infusion of Foxglove.

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*winces at realizing the magnitude of the error, brushes his hands over the bottles* That isn't right... it was supposed to be this one, or.... *uncorking a flask shaped almost, but not exactly, like the foxglove one, then quickly corking it again* --No. It's not this one, this one smells--

[shirayukiwitch.livejournal.com]

*Puts her hand gently on his* Just let me tell you what's what and you can take it from there, alright?

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*grumbling sigh, looks plaintive for a moment before the usual defiant mask returns* ..They were all supposed to be different sizes....

*..but lets her guide his hands to the different ingredients*

[nogyaru.livejournal.com]

Are you having troubles with it?

((ooc: Sorry, wrong icon Dx))

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*frustrated, knocking over a jar while trying to find the right solvent for the icky green goo* ..Yes!


[[XD No problem.]]

[nogyaru.livejournal.com]

... Do you need help?

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*waves hands around* It itches....


[[For clarity's sake, let's assume this happens shortly after Rukia's intervention above.]]

[nogyaru.livejournal.com]

Mmm, did it explode on you? I have some Aloe Vera lotion you can use to stop the itching...

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

Ow... Some... what? *already nodding, willing to try almost anything to make it stop* That's not a potion name....

[nogyaru.livejournal.com]

Ah, no. It's made from a plant. It feels really good. Very soothing and cool.

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*holds up his hands* Will it get rid of this?

[nogyaru.livejournal.com]

... One way to find out. *lathers some on his hands*

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*unknown to Jei, the green residue is turning a violent red*

*slight sigh of relief, wiggles his fingers* ..It's working!

[nogyaru.livejournal.com]

Shi- I mean. Uh- Crud! *wiping off furiously*

I don't think it is Jei.

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*getting thoroughly scrubbed; the goo comes off, mostly, leaving only some streaks of inert pigment*

..But it stopped itching....

[nogyaru.livejournal.com]

*talking to herself*Maybe... it was just a chemical, er... potional reaction?


I think we should go get it checked out just in case, Jei.

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*does NOT want to go to the Hospital Wing again only a day before the full moon*


*reluctantly* But it's gone.... it feels fine now....

[nogyaru.livejournal.com]

... Please Jei. I'll buy you any candy you want from Hogsmeade if you just let me take you. Please?

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*AUGH THE TEMPTATION THAT'S NOT FAIR*


...

..Fine.... *still doesn't like the idea, but steels himself to the task and stands up, letting her lead the way*

[nogyaru.livejournal.com]

I'll just explain what happened and what I put on them to get this reaction. I promise we wont be there for more than a minute.
