Darkness & Madness: The world of Blight [HarleyLocal605]

"Hmph, well if you dont know basic herbs you might run into some trouble out in the wastes, you'd better be prepared or make a run for the former capital as fast as you can before you get swallowed up." She says continuing to grind her materials. "You can make it up to me by tasting this concoction im working on. Its new and im certain it wont hurt you, though it may make you feel strange." She says with a smirk.

"Of course you dont have to, other wise i could use about 5 gold to replace the bush. you ruined. After im done with this tincture you can help me go gather some more materials."

[HarleyLocal605]

"I could use the chance to learn out there anyways. I'd be glad to try the concoction, and help you harvest more materials," I say upbeat, and kind of innocent. "If I feel strange, what might happen? I just want to know so if i start freaking out i know if i need to just calm down. I trust you Jenna."

[Lorielle]

She smiles when you agree to try her concoction for her. "Oh this potion is simply in its testing phase, i have solidified a definitive ingredient list so i dont expect much. But you should feel a warmth permeate throughout your body. Maybe some sensitivity and a prickling feeling where your clothes touch your skin, but i imagine you'll be fine, unless you have an adverse reaction, but dont worry i can quickly nullify it with another potion i have here." She doesnt really comment on your "trust" of her, she's always been the town's apothecary, she knows shes the best one at her job here in town.

"Ok. I would ask about the ingredient list but maybe i should wait until i've helped you more. I am just excited to try this, and begin my new adventure. I feel like i'll really be able to learn a lot about myself, you know? " I say as I take a gulp of the potion, as i sit and wait to feel the effect. I look over the room, as I am curious to see the effect.

"You learn fast." She smiles as you dont inquire further about the potion's make up. Jenna pours the crushed elements of her potion into a small sauce pan that seems to be boiling water. As she extinguishes the flame and pulls the pan off she then pours the heated mixture into a glass vial and gives it a rather vigourous shake, as she does so the liquid takes on a somewhat pinkish hue as the ingredients settle to the bottom of the vial and she then caps the vial with a cork and submerges it in some water to cool off. In about a minute its read and she hands it to you.

You pop the cork and can smell a vaguely sweet smell wafting off the top, different from the mustard seeds you had to smell earlier. As you drink it down Jenna pulls out a small piece of paper and watches you intently for any reaction.

At first you dont feel much at all but then your stomach begins to feel hot.. then your face.. then the rest of your body as it spreads out from your stomach. You arent entirely sure what is happening other than the warmth is overwhelming and you desperately want to pull your clothes off, all of a sudden you feel something scratching the back of your neck but when you reach back there you feel nothing.. nothing except your hair which seems to have grown substantially in just the moment prior to you having drank the potion. It feels like your clean cut has given way to a sort of short bob cut now. And as you feel your hair, it has a sort of silkyness you do not recognize, something more reminiscent of your mother's or maybe jenna's hair judging by the luster you can see in her hair.

"My thats surprising, hmm either i made it too strong or you're particularly susceptible... hmm" She jots down a few notes with her quill. "Well im satsified. We can leave in an hour after i clean up." She says getting up off her stool and beginning to clean up.

I sit there tugging at my clothes a little, trying to loosen them, as I feel hot. I reach upfalling my hair, as i feel it awfully soft, before i try to look for a reflection. "I..Its doing what it is supposed to be doing?" I ask as I try to assist her in cleaning up.

[Lorielle]

"In a sense. The experiment was a success and i have a general idea of what will need to change in the recipe to ensure its more consistent. Ah, Leander maybe stay over there, i dont want you knocking over anything." She says refusing your help. Unfortunately Jenna has nothing in her home for you to see what your reflection might look like. That'll need to wait until later. But after a short while the heat does finally subside and you feel much better as you can take a breath without feeling overwhelmed.

Around that time Jenna finally finishes her cleaning, giving you a good view of her ass for most of that clean up. As she dusts off her knees she looks up at you. "Ready? I doubt i'll need your protection, but extra hands should make picking the necessary reagents much quicker, as long as you dont ruin the ingredients."

With that said Jenna leads you outside and begins heading into the woods. "Keep your eyes out for blue flowers with petals in the shade of a crescent moon. The faster we find them the better, i'd rather not be out here for too longer."

[HarleyLocal605]

"Yes Jenna..."I say sighing resigned to staying seated out of the way so I don't knock anything over, at least watching her closely, trying to make sure I see how careful she is with everything. I take note at anything Jenna gathers as well. I readjust my clothes as well as I come down from the warm feeling.

"I'm ready," I say as I get ready. I let Jenna lead me through into the woods, trying to keep an eye out.
