[ There's only a voice feed without video to go along with it - but even without her face being visible, the edge of fatigue to Ange's voice is pretty obvious. Aside from that, her voice is pretty much the usual same monotone-- just with that little extra to it. ]

In case anyone came to the apothecary often-- Claude obviously isn't here anymore to run it. I have all of his notes, so I figure I might as well run it. I mean, at this point I'm apparently here until the heat death of the universe while I have to watch everyone I care about disappear, so might as well, right.

[ Sorry, the apothecary now apparently comes with a Hot Topic attitude. At least it explains where the fatigue in the girl's voice might be coming from. ]

So stop by while I undergo my own special kind of torture in this place, I guess. There's a lot to go through and figure out, so if you had some sort of special deal with Claude, make sure to let me know. Or I might find it somewhere in his notes in three months or so, so letting me know is likely faster.

[ It sounds like she might be looking at all of it right now, in fact. There's the sound of slight paper rustling in the background. ]

Or let me know if you can help with this. I haven't exactly done any of this apothecary business stuff before. I mean, Claude clearly didn't even consider the optics of leaving a place like this to a witch. That's just stereotyping, you know? So rude.

[The fact that those with medical expertise have so suddenly disappeared isn't exactly the best omen...]

I'd be glad to help with organizing your notes or hiring any locals to assist. [Ange is very bright, but a people person...... maybe not.] A few of my employees are familiar with that sort of testing and formulation.

[entreats]

That might be handy in the long run. Claude's a smart guy, but I'm sure even he can't have found every single possible cure in this place.

[ Though he does have a lot of notes. It almost makes her want to curse him for being so smart and leaving her with this much, especially all at once.. ]

Though I first want to focus on getting everything he was already making before right before I start experimenting. He's giving me a lot to catch up to here, you know?

[chimericalclaw]

I have no doubt. How meticulous was he with those notes? The more detailed the better with this sort of thing, but it does make for a lengthy process when you're first going through them all.

[entreats]

Pretty meticulous. It's a good thing, though. I don't know a single thing about this stuff.

[ Even if - like he says - it's going to take her a while.. It's like she's back in school all over again. Unfortunately for Ange, since she didn't exactly enjoy the school experience! ]

It never seemed all that attractive to me, but.. well, I don't really have a choice now. This place needs this resource. There's only a few things here standing between us and everything going to hell in a handbasket.

[chimericalclaw]

Hm, [is his initial response as he considers her words. This place, she says, distancing herself from the simple fact that she's taking this responsibility onto herself, and not only for her own sake.]

... Someone has to. But that makes it all the more important for us to work together where we can, don't you think?

[He would hate to see it disappear, even if he personally wouldn't struggle without the apothecary. Best to play into his facade and encourage collaboration, as he always does.]

In any case, I do have a few pieces of equipment designed to work with medicines and the like. I could lend them to you to cut down on some of the manual labor once you've learned the process, if you're interested.
