Get ready to hit that HMD because this is going to be wildly OOC (open)

[endoftherepublic]

Who: Hux and whomever he runs into
When: May 25th-May 31st
Where: various places around Caissa
What: Hux failed his dungeon! So until the 27th, his personality has been totally swapped. From the 28th onward, he'll have to deal with the fallout.
Rating: PG at most? Maybe some swearing? Nothing too severe though.

MAY 25TH-27TH: [on these days, you'll find Hux in various places around town. He's...honestly a little unrecognizable. His clothes are very casual--loose pants and a comfortable shirt. His hair is in a similar state; not fussed with at all nor slicked back to perfection. He looks relaxed and generally pleased about life, if the way he's smiling and nodding at a shopkeeper in the market is any indication. Or, you could also find him in the park, doodling in a leather-bound notebook. He'll be sitting on a blanket with his back against a tree, just casually enjoying the weather and the lovely scenery around him. If neither of those appeal, than he is certainly hanging around the Hall of Glory. You can find him tucked up on the couch, reading a book with his socked feet crossed at the ankle and an orange tabby cat in his lap. Or at one of the tables in the mess, enjoying lunch. If he knows you, he might even wave! ....okay, no "might," if he knows you, he definitely just waved to you. And smiled. That's a thing that just happened.]

MAY 28TH-31ST: [In contrast to the previous days, Hux has been looking particularly murderous. Subtly. Subtly murderous. But not so subtle that it's not very clear that he has no interest in talking about the past several days. He can now be found in a couple different places around Caissa. The first of these is the Hall of Glory library. He's been spending quite a bit of time there, definitely not hiding behind a couple stacks of books. If you spot him out there, you'll find him engrossed in whatever text is in front of him, writing furiously in a leather-bound notebook. Another spot might be in one of the spare hobby rooms. In such a place, he'll have several ingredients laid out on the table, as well as that same leather-bound notebook. He'll be combining some of those ingredients, and it also looks like he's got some vials of...something...already made up. What is it? Who knows. Finally, he can be found in the court yard. He's standing in front of those dummies, conjuring up small bits of magic and hurling them at the dummies with varying accuracy. The ice magic he creates seems to be the most effective.]

Indeed. Upon impact with the target, it should create a coat of ice, once it is finished brewing. [in theory, anyway. He's grabbing a pestle, starting to crush up the leaves]

[whipoflust]

That is very intriguing and useful. Is it your own invention or based on something existing where you come from? [ Then he motions to a seat opposite of him. ] May I? [ Basically, he wonders if he can have a seat and continue the conversation further, or if he's being a bother. ]

[endoftherepublic]

[Hux glances up at the question, before waving a hand in assent.]

It is my own invention. We don't have alchemy where I come from. [a pause] Well. Of a sort. One might call it that, if they do not know any better, but usually it is simply science.

[whipoflust]

[ He smiles a grateful smile, and sits down with a smooth movement. It is terribly rude to stand over someone while talking, anyway, so this is better. ]

Alchemy is an art that branches into both science and magic, I believe. Though I don't have experience in any of the fields, so I could be wrong. It is impressive to create such a thing when you're new to the field.

[endoftherepublic]

Ah. Is it something you have experience in in your world, then? [Hux pauses briefly, glancing up at him.]

[whipoflust]

Only a little. I'm afraid that I could not be of any help at the moment.

[endoftherepublic]

[Ah well. Interest lost.] I see. And what is your speciality, then?

[whipoflust]

I wonder.. [ His specialty? Lopping of people's heads at the execution block, he supposes, but how appropriate a skill is that to brag about? If it were the other Seven Wing Knights that got the question they could surely answer without hesitation but in Chloe's case... ] I don't suppose that being able to make use of most kind of weapon without much problem would count?
