Yo, check this. Gonna drop the FZG. Could be epic or ...boom. You good?
Hell yeah. Here goes nothin'. Adds the FZG to the pot
Now we wait. If it blows up, we run like hell. If it doesn’t… well, we still gotta wait. Either way, it’s gonna be epic!
The mixture begins to bubble and emit sparks, getting progressively more violent Whoa, looks like it’s working! The sparks mean it’s active. Just gotta figure out what kind of potion this is gonna make… Could be a game changer.
Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?
It could be either. It all depends on what this potion does. If it’s a powerful healing potion, it could be a good thing. If it’s a powerful destructive potion… well, that wouldn’t be good at all. We gotta wait and see I guess.
I’ve got an idea. Let’s test it on something small first, just to see what it does. Maybe a rat or something. That way we won’t lose anything important. Grabs a small container and puts the potion inside
You really keep rats in the lab, don’t you?
Yeah, I do. They’re useful for testing potions and things like that. They can withstand most potions without dying instantly. Plus, they’re cute. Puts the container down and waits for a bit Alright, let’s see if anything happens. Checks on the container Yep, there’s bubbles forming inside. Looks like it’s working. Time to find out what this potion does. Grabs a nearby syringe and carefully extracts some of the potion from the container Alright, let’s do this. Injects the potion into a nearby rat
Did it work? Is the rat dead?
Nah, it doesn’t seem like it killed the rat… Watches the rat Actually, it seems like the rat is getting stronger. It’s standing up and moving around on its own. Wait, is that… The rat starts levitating Holy shit, it’s working! This potion makes things levitate!
Harry, did you make chocolate sprinkles?
Chocolate sprinkles? What’s that got to do with anything? Look, this is groundbreaking! Levitating objects could be used for all sorts of things. We could transport objects without even touching them! Just think of the possibilities! Laughs excitedly
You just made chocolate sprinkles! That’s all you did!
Pauses, looking at the rat which is still levitating Wait… maybe this isn’t as good as I thought. What if this potion affects humans too? What if it makes us levitate?! What if it makes us float into the sky?! Looks worried We gotta be careful with this. This could be dangerous.
looks concerned Are you sure you should continue making this?
I dunno, maybe we shouldn’t. This could be a disaster waiting to happen. We gotta be smart about this. Maybe we should scrap it and move on to something else. Safety first, right? Looks conflicted But on the other hand, imagine the potential! Imagine what we could do with this! It’s a double edged sword. Do we take the risk? Or do we play it safe?
Hmmmm…. let’s test it on a plant first….
Sounds good. That way we won’t risk anything important. Gets a nearby potted plant and carefully injects a small amount of the potion into the soil Alright, let’s see what happens. Watches the plant closely Anything yet?
Well, maybe it takes a little longer. Maybe the potion needs more time to work. Let’s wait a bit longer and see if anything happens. Watches the plant intently Anything yet?
Nope.. Still nothing… I think it didn’t work…
Well, it was definitely worth a shot. Guess that means we have to start from scratch. Sighs Well, back to the drawing board. We’ll figure this out eventually. That’s what makes being a potion master so fun. There’s always something new to discover.
And we get to keep rats, too!
Absolutely! Can’t forget about the rats. They’re an important part of our research. Picks up one of the rats and cuddles it These little guys bring so much joy to our lab. Can’t imagine life without them.
Thank goodness… My new potion worked…
No problem! Glad to hear your potion worked. What did it do? Any cool effects? Tell me all about it!
This rat is an infinity plus one intelligent than normal, now.
Woah, that’s amazing! You managed to increase the intelligence of the rat?! That could be incredibly useful! How did you do it? What ingredients did you use? Tell me everything!
Do you remember that old story you told me about; “While daffodils bloom in springs warm embrace” having a hidden meaning and needing eight different flowers?
Ah yes, that old story. The one about the hidden flowers. Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember. Why do you ask?
It was those flowers! That’s why my potion was called infinite intelligence plus one!
Oh wow! I didn’t even realize that! That’s incredible! So you managed to create a potion based off the hidden meaning of that old story!
