Hmm, I really wasn't expecting him... He obviously doesn't approve of Henry drinking.

Kind of ironic to think that there's a good chance I introduced him to drinking, as Astrid pointed out.

It's good that you love to learn, though! As long as you have that, you'll have the motivation to push on when you don't understand something and keep going until you're satisfied with what you now know. My problem is I plan to do too much in too short of a period of time.

Ah, yes. I remembered that saying when I was trying to decide whether to go down the engineer or forensic scientist route. You see, I'd probably be good at engineering and it definitely pays more but I think I'd prefer a smaller paycheck if I get to wake up every morning, happy to go to work...
And thank you! I appreciate it!

No, you're perfectly fine. I'm sorry, just a small fraction of people have a bad reaction to the draught.

(Catt don't know heads or tails of the ingredients, she doesn't even recognise the smell/taste of opium as opium! All she recognised was the alcohol, which she didn't like. If I hadn't looked it up myself, I would've thought Cantharide was a plant substance! XP The reality is more gross.)

*A quick glance at her charge showed Catt wasn't watching her. Unsure of how long that would last, she opened the book to reveal a compartment inside containing a small pouch and two vials, one containing a crystal clear liquid and the other, something more burgundy. Helen selected the first two items, tucking them in her pocket before closing and replacing the book on the shelf, the second vial untouched.*

I've been told it burns a bit going down.

Okay...*Catt whispered, hesitantly taking the beaker. She could remember from somewhere that drinking from beakers was a really dumb thing to do. But this was 19th century England, and she trusted her friend. The smell of alcohol wafted up to greet her as she brought the unconventional glass closer to her face. She stared down into it, bracing herself for the foul taste. Shutting her eyes, she brought the beaker to her lips and started to drink. The harsh alcohol on her already aching throat made her want to gag, but she scrunched her eyes and finished the draught as quickly as she could manage.*
Ugh, *She said with a small cough and shiver of disgust,* that was gross. *Handing the beaker back to Dr. Helen, she stiffly and slowly got to her feet, aiming to get back to the makeshift bed in front of the fire.*
How long before it, kicks...in?
*Catt trailed off, she was already beginning to feel strange. A warmth had started to spread in her abdomen, heavy and slowly growing hotter with each passing moment. This is, odd. I should probably lay down. She thought. She managed a shuffling stumble over to the blankets, where she collapsed onto the assorted pile of fabric. Her limbs were refusing to obey, feeling heavy and even slower than they did from river. The heat in her stomach still grew, it now felt like the someone had set fire to her innards. Her throat burned and she coughed, each one a disconcerting rattle of a noise that shook her entire body and made her eyes water. Curling up on her side, all that crossed her mind was terrified confusion as the world faded to black.*

I... I guess that's true... *Helen would have blushed at the comment but she was still in shock.* Sweet tea, please... *The last few moments were going on repeat in her head as she struggled to pinpoint what seemed so off with Catt's sudden remark.*
(Well, this isn't the first time that Catt has done something seemingly impossible. Also, imagine how you would feel if someone seemed to have read your thoughts. It would be a major invasion of privacy and shake your feeling of security in your own mind around the culprit, almost like paranoia. Since Helen has a pretty decent understanding of human expression and conversation, she could tell Catt hadn't picked up on her hints. Helen was sure she was going to have to further explain she needed to leave since she didn't actually mention wanting to leave aloud and Catt didn't respond to her as if her friend was going away. So to have her suddenly comment about her not only leaving but working as well is quite the leap.)

She blinked, suddenly realizing neither of them had spoken for several seconds and Catt hadn't even seemed to notice.* Err, hello? You still here?

It breaks something precious and hard to build, leaving sharp edges that cut at both sides.
(Very sad! T^T Though I wonder if Helen should be able to retain knowledge of a "guardian angel." We already have ghosts and monsters, plus a demon-possessed ring. Why not a theoretical "angel" -type being? It's up to you.)

Yes. It was a very curious thing. Inspite having no mouth, it did posess what I believe to be vocal cords. It was also laced with what looked like brain tissue down it's whole length. It is quite an interesting parasite you had there, Doctor. Did you figure out how you got it?

(Well, what do you think of the game? [its a shame you have to pay for all of the cases] I don't mind if you don't like it, I just happen to love it because of the Prof.)
(Helen doesn't want to be immortal. Hela does. She fears death more than anything else and can often be found trying to find ways to cheat it.)

(Oooh, Hela would be so jealous if she found out. Normally the recipes for immortality have just gotten her sick or hurt. [Quartz is similar to glass in its sharpness].

(I probably will, haven't yet though. Got carried away drawing last night after getting in at 7:30 ish. It was a long day and then my phone decided it needed to update itself. DX)
(Now I need to decide if Catt actually read anything in that section, or if she found the idea too unnerving. If she did take anything it would need a name. "Ways to come back to life 101", "1001 Ways to Cheat Death," "The history of Horcruxes", "Galifreyan Medicine," "A Beginner's Guide to Necromancy," "Life Magic for Dummies," or maybe "The Alchemical Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything"? [Why would anyone drink it then?])

(Well, she thinks she only needs to drink the thing once... It dissolves painfully slow in room temperature, which is to say, not at all. That's why she plans on keeping it next to the fire place. Even at that temperature, depending on how big the piece is, it could take several days. Sadly, don't have an exact formula for it.)

(Oh, right! I suppose we do. Let's see... Helen had been working when Catt left, despite telling her friend that she was going to go to bed soon, after she picked up all the papers on it. She'd probably expect the shopping to take much longer so having Catt come back with everything within an hour would probably startle her. You know that feeling when you were little and your parent catches you doing something you weren't supposed to when they had told you to fold your clothes or do the dishes? That's going to be Helen.)

She took Sozo with her. Oh, Helen. Catt knew from the start, but was trying to convince herself she was wrong.)

Because I don't think the metal bars will be fun to lug up the stairs.)

(To Catt, from a conversation that somehow started with us discussing Cheat. XD)
(Hmm... And she doesn't expect Hela to bee hovering around her as soon as she shows the slightest hint of leaving? Catt's going to need some sort of plan that would keep her away from the door when she leaves... And the same trick probably wouldn't work more than once. Unless Catt talks about us, the brilliant Narrators, right before she leaves and uses the moment where Hela looses her train of thought to leave. That would really irk her because she wouldn't understand what had happened and everytime Catt would explain, she'd blank out again. XD But I think you'll be able to come up with something more creative than that [My silly ideas and I will be in timeout]. The leash would last the five seconds it takes Catt to open the door. She'd cut the string, kick Catt onto her back, then run off. Only once she felt she was a safe distance away would she remove the rest of the binding. The thing is, Hela always has some sort of tachycardia, or irregularly fast heart rate. Normally this doesn't effect her much [except in a higher level of alertness due to blood getting where it needs to faster and a faster spreading of anything put into her veins] because it's merely sinus tachycardia unless she experiences more physical strain than usual or has been in her own form for weeks and weeks, then it gradually becomes atrial or supraventricular tachycardia which is where the heart is beating so fast it isn't able to fill properly as it pumps [sorry for all the medical terms! >~<] and this can have some bad side effects, such as dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fainting. And since Hela would have been locked in her room for quite some time, without much to do physically, her first night out of the room could easily result in her blacking out. That would at least make it easier for Catt to get her back to her room.)
(Just a little bit but it's fascinating! Besides, it brightened up towards the end. :) That's a very creative idea, taking what happened to you in your past and changing it to fit a character.)
(I think that's just a taste of how dark and painful it could get. XD I mean, books are written in months and months and at most I spent half an hour on each post. And cool, I approve of the chosen title! Although when referring to it, it might be faster to put The DH&H or Hypothermia Arch. Maybe. Wait. [*types out The Doctor, the Hyde, and the Hatter*] Yeah, those two ways are shorter. XD Go laziness!)

(I'm thinking cattle prod with a heavy dose of guilt if she ever actually hit Hela. She could probably use the 4th wall break a couple times, but not too much or it's an ex-machina device and I'd rather avoid using those whenever possible.[Hey, your 'silly ideas' are great! We wouldn't be here without silly ideas!] She'd use a chain as a leash then. [That could yield some humorous misinterpretations! Hooboy.] Wow, all those medical terms. You must be in biology! I'm learning so much! If that's the case, we could afford to have Catt mess up with a non-chain leash and catch up to Hela when she faints. And then use a chain for the next leash, much to Hela's frustration. I think Catt's strong enough to carry Hela back to the room without using the hat. Want to avoid having Hela in there if at all possible.)
(Thank you! :D I must confess, I was worried you'd find it weird. ^-^; )
(Yay! The DH&H it is! Although, I think I need to include something before the inciting incident. Right now it happens in the second paragraph! That's too early! But I'm not sure how to pad the intro. DX Especially without bringing in another writer/character!)

(I don't think cattle prods were invented until 1917. Of course, it wouldn't be too surprising for Catt to have one, considering all the things she knows about. XD Cattle prods are supposed to be extremely painful on humans, considering they were designed to cause pain in giant, thick skinned cows. Yeah, author ex-machina is something you'd want to avoid. Oh no! Hela won't be able to run off and murder half the city just to spite Helen since she was locked up for so long! Unless, of course, instead of attacking the chain and collar and focuses on the one holding the other end of the leash... Hopefully Catt would have already had her lessons by then. [Oh dear, if one person calls Hela a pet or asks if her and Catt are together, heads will roll.] Is that just because of the notes or some other reasons as well?)
(Weird? No, it's a really neat idea, one I haven't heard of before!)
(Hmmm... Perhaps an overall description of the society or London? You could talk about perfectly normal events then suddenly cut to Mz. Hyde flipping everything in sight.)

(We've got time-jumping portals, I think we can swing something like a cattle prod. XD Yay for romanticized science fiction! Maybe a toned-down version though, don't want anyone to have a heart attack. Might make the design similar to a steampunked Jacob's ladder, those are cool.
Hela run off and murder half the city? I think Mz. Hyde might take issue with someone else messing up her playground. Or they'd be partners in crime, who knows. I think Catt would have the foresight to bring the cattle prod with her on the walks. She's not stupid, socially inept and oblivious at times, but not stupid. [XD Catt would either be too embarrassed to do anything, or she'd let Hela have some fun.] What notes? Catt's got a lot of super rare stuff that Hela would find useful. Phoenix Down, a rendition of the Seven League Boots, a skull that can tell you anything going on in the relative "now", various magical memorabilia and mystic tomes, a guide to navigating another's dreamscape. All sorts of stuff. I shudder to imagine what Hela would do if she got access to a mini-fridge! DX )
(Yay! Thank you! :D )
(I'll try that. Thanks! Though I'd been thinking of including the chat Catt and Dr. Helen had before the table flip. Though, a cut-to-the-chase approach would work well too. Hm...)

(XD Yeah, I suppose you're right. That would be a very cool design! No heart attacks allowed, Hela has enough heart trouble as it is! XDX
I think they would end up working together but not because Hela likes her. It'd be more like Mz Hyde decided to tag along or something and Hela either couldn't shake her off or couldn't be bothered to. Well, even when she's armed, she'll be hard pressed to keep a stir crazy Hela from taking her down, especially if she would rather not have to shock her. The chain could work in either of their favors... [Sadly, the type of people who would say those sort of things tend to be untouchable for one reason or another...] The notes Catt is going to save! And she would loooove to get her hands on those! Rising the dead, impossibly great speed, knowing everything that's happening... And the greatest of all, the mini fridge! Who knows what sort of evil deeds she'd commit with such a thing in her power. XD [Maybe freeze small animals? Uh... Put her plant in there to see how long it'd survive? Hm... See what happens when you put a fire inside...?])
(I figured it might add a bit of humor. Here's a woman doing her laundry. A man putting on his top hat and taking a carriage to work. Children laughing and playing in there way to school. "ARGH, EVERYBODY BETRAYED ME!!!!!" [I think Mz. Hyde screams something of the sort. XD])

(In my search to find visual references for a steampunk jacob's ladder, I found instructions on how to build one. :\ Complete with a list of components needed. :/ I'm not sure how to handle this... 8T
Idea! Insulated gloves and touch the chain with the zapper if Hela makes a move! 8D I, shouldn't be so happy about figuring out how to safely electrocute someone...-_-' [Untouchable?] Oh those ones! Yeah, Catt might move them using the hat, or keep them there. Probably keep them there. The hatt works on a similar principal as fae magic and gifts. It can't be stolen, and only some people are allowed in sometimes. There's only enough phoenix down for one use. The skull can only relay one scene as it's happening, not everything or anything in the past. Also there's the crystal ball that is linked to the flower on the outside of the hatt. [BEWARE THE AWESOME POWER OF REFRIGERATION!!!!])
(I like the idea, but it would work better in an already established storyline I think. But I think I can use the meandering description of a hazy day in London before getting to the Society.[Yeah, it was something like that. XD])

[Yeah, some characters would be a nearly equal match for Hela, like the Hydes, and others I'm sure could care for themselves or have allies that would come to their rescue.] It can't be stolen? How does that work? And does that mean if someone found the hat and just tried to climb inside, it wouldn't work? Still, it's a way to cheat death! She'd spend forever trying to get more of the stuff. She'd probably use the skull to avoid officers. The crystal ball, if taken out of the hat, could be used to track Catts movements! [She probably wouldn't be that impressed with it. XD])

It's the lesser of two evils, but that doesn't make it good. [Does that mean Catt's actually the weakest player we've got here? Sheesh! I didn't see that coming. ] If someone tried to make a grab for the hatt to steal it, they would always miss. [It also can't fall off by accident.] If they tried to find the hatt in a room to steal it, they wouldn't find it. If someone found the hatt and looked inside, unless they were meant to enter Catt's study, it would just look like the normal inside of a hat. Not even Catt has 24/7 access, that would be too much ex-machina again.
Yes, so many uses for various things! That's why Catt has them. :3 Also, it's a handy list of plot devices. XD [I suppose not, her loss.XD])

(It seems it would be a bit dangerous to put together... And they themselves are dangerous if you're not cautious. A whole bunch of things can go wrong. Yeah, I agree. Treating a human being, even a terrible and cruel one, like a disobedient animal isn't okay... But oh well, Catt has to prevent mass murders somehow... And while we're on the subject, where does she intend to put the "collar" on Hela? [XD Not really. It's part author to author, part characters strengths. You see, I know that you'd be perfectly fine with Hela hurting Catt. We often even plan it ahead of time. But I don't know other writers/authors stance on their characters being injured. As for the character part of it, Helen has spent most of her time around Catt, Mz. Hyde, and Astrid. This means her inner demon will have more information about these people and how to take them down. Since Catt seems to be spending the most time, she's essentially going to be Hela's main target because Catts the only one she feels she knows like the back of her hand.] Oh, an impossible task that would never cease to annoy her. What about of someone were to take the hat as a joke? And the no 24/7 access must be rather annoying when she leaves something in there and she can't get in. [I really can't think of any reason why she'd care about the fridge. XD])

(Absolutely. I don't plan to build it myself, but I might send the thing to my dad. He's into steampunk and a master electrician. If anyone could build it safely it'd be him.
I was thinking more of a harness around the torso than a collar. I've seen some people use them on toddlers. [Oh great! XD She's the most vulnerable because she's nice and I'm mean! Hahaha! XD Oh a writer's life for me, yo ho! I think the game would be less fun if no injury was possible, also it would cross a line of "unrealistic" that I think would cheapen the narrative. But that's me.] I'm still deciding on that point. I want others to be able to interact with the hatt, but I think the general rule is that they can't want to "take" the hatt at all. Like they can go get the hatt if Catt needs it, but not for themselves, see?
It doesn't bother her as much as you'd think it would. As she doesn't use it like an extra large pocket. If she needs it, she finds it open. But it goes off of my definition of "need." Like in Wrongly Accused Part 1, she checked to see if it was open, and it wasn't.[That was a chat with Mz. Hyde, she wanted something to pick the lock on the chains.] [Because it's cool? She could use the pun to antagonise Helen. XD])
