[hexcrafter]

In other words: 'it's fine if they are a little explosive, I know ways to fix that'.

[actnormal]

Ooh. Keeping those away from Wuxian, got it.

[Caleb you may be the bigger concern with explosives do you remember the incident with your ARCUS]

[hexcrafter]

Good plan. Please make sure no one explodes, yourself included. Hopefully this world's materials are a little less difficult to handle.

[actnormal]

I mean I don't think any of us are going to go looking for anything radioactive so

Probably

Wait how bad were materials in your world?

[hexcrafter]

The unrefined stones we initially built the technology around could explode violently if jostled a little too hard. This was a problem for some time until we found a method to refine and stabilize them into a more solid crystal form.

[actnormal]

How did you not explode yourself??

1/2

[hexcrafter]

Very carefully.

[viktor.]

[hexcrafter]

We're engineers, not reckless Academy students. It was not particularly difficult to work with them given the correct application of caution. The refinement was a necessity born of the desire for more widespread use of the technology.

[actnormal]

Viktor I mean this well but I don't think you've ever been cautious ever? I've seen the stuff you throw at us in DnD man. In game and in real life.

[hexcrafter]

I am not handling demolition-grade explosives, it is not remotely the same thing.

[don't ask about what's in his basement. or the garage.]

[actnormal]

No but you would I think

[hexcrafter]

Caleb, I am a professional engineer with a doctorate and the co-inventor of technology powered by magic. If I were doing something legitimately dangerous, I would at least take safety precautions.

[i can not stress enough that he was planning highly unethical elf-experimentation at his canonpoint.]

[actnormal]

You're also not denying that you would totally work with high level explosives ＼(≧▽≦)／

[hexcrafter]

Because we did, no point in denying something I have already done and would do again given the chance.

[actnormal]

Knew it. Wifi owes me ten bucks.

[hexcrafter]

First of all, you can blame my partner for the introduction to dangerous explosives.

He was keeping them in a box.

In his apartment.

His apartment, Caleb.

[actnormal]

Okay I leave things places I probably shouldn't but dude no??? How did he not blow himself up?

[hexcrafter]

That is rather the thing--he nearly did. Not strictly through any fault of his own, but one of them was knocked about and accidentally blew a hole in the wall.

[actnormal]

This wasn't legal was it

[hexcrafter]

Extremely illegal on several fronts.

Then again, so was everything else we did on that particular day. It worked out well enough.

[actnormal]

I don't know why but you never seemed like the type to just break the law like that Viktor.

[hexcrafter]

Oh, I was not involved in that at first. The unauthorized research was all his own, initially.

But I thought it had merit, and I had very little worth losing at the time. So I stole a confiscated journal, went to talk to him, and then we broke into the Academy to prove the theory a viable one.

[Also fuck the cops.]

[actnormal]

[. . .]

So I found a mug at Goodwill that says "Fuck the Cops", do you want it?

[hexcrafter]

Absolutely.

It is a long and involved thing to explain, but the people of my hometown have very little love lost when it comes to matters of authority.
