Next player quest, recreating the game Operation for the Pokemon world...Arceus help us

[autumnrainrunaway]

The ever concerning potential of PokeSurgeries grows to a very unaware Dolly, she's just grateful to be getting glasses in a pretty fun teamwork way.

It wasn't too abnormal, it should've been, but it wasn't to Dolly. No, she's experienced worse...so much worse beforehand thanks to the Tir Na Nog Queens.

This wasn't a big deal at all as Dolly continues to listen to both Emporio and Anasui on how to go about on a makeshift gauging system for figuring her eyesight.

"That's a good idea, I wonder if there's someone here with some fire abilities like back at Skull Town? Maybe someone could warp the glass bottles for us to be used for testing?"

do it cowards, operation operation

[seacub]

It's fine. Don't worry about it. Glasses will be happening! And that's just great.

"Oh...well, we do have a lot of Fire type Pokemon here...one of the others would probably have enough precision, right?"

>:3c I'm gonna pop that question up on Plurk once November hits

[autumnrainrunaway]

Yep totally fine! Nothing to fear here! Glasses are going to be made and that's the important part!

"That sounds like a good point, maybe one of them has the precision for shaping the lenses. I wonder if one of them is hot enough to melt sand into glass if all else fails?"

[dripdrive]

"They already can make bottles and the like. They have some way of sourcing glass - and if they can do something as intricate as a bottle, they'll be able to make a lens." Floating next to Anasui is a few glass bottles he's sourced from the kitchen. He stacks them in front of both of Emporio and Dolly for the two to pick between.

"Which one do you think we should use first?"

[seacub]

A good point, that. But for now, here they are with the bottles. Emporio's not going to ask why Anasui knows where the kitchen is here.

"Hmm..." He inspects the first, squinting at it. "This one has a curve inward- I'd say that'll be a good start."

[autumnrainrunaway]

Dolly considers things carefully before hearing Emporio's reasoning. He had an incredibly good point about the curvature on the bottle, it would work...Dolly is throughly impressed by Emporio.

"That's a good idea too, I'd say let's do the one that has the curve inwards."

[dripdrive]

It's not even a bad reason why he knows. It's the Archives. Anasui has combed through every inch of this place looking for some rhyme or reason to why the tablets here are organised the way they are. He may have not found any sensible explanation but he did find the kitchen and remembered where it was.

In any case, Anasui knows what they should do first. With the prompting, he uses his psychic powers to pick up a curved bottle that's more stout than long and holds it in front of Dolly.

"Emporio, hold up a slate. Dolly, see if you can read any line from this distance. You should be at least able to see the title."

[seacub]

"Got it!" he cheers, grabbing one immediately to prop it upright. It should be simple enough, and the letters are all nicely carved in...

"Ready when you are."

Time for the Enya Music video moment~

[autumnrainrunaway]

Dolly was pretty thrilled for a chance to be able to see things again as she goes to take a peak through the bottle-lens as instructed. The letters were clear to read, but there was something just a bit off. Confused, Dolly had to do a bit of a double take to make sure it wasn't her being unused to glasses after arrival, but...

Everything with the bottle lenses on looked like an impressionist's painting in motion, an Enya music video if one were to describe it. This explains so much about why Dolly's vision had been so bad upon arrival.

"Awesome, I can read the lines with this."

LMAO

[dripdrive]

Anasui, who pointedly does not wear glasses and cannot see through Dolly's eyes, nods. Assuming the reaction is normal, he puts the first bottle down. Then then he uses his psychic powers to pick up a thicker bottle.

"Try this one? Better or worse?" He asks, judging purely off what Dolly says. "Which one makes you squint less?"

I can hear that 'Caribbean Blue' song playing in the background!

[autumnrainrunaway]

The thicker bottle made things much more clearer and yep...Dolly's eye vision is officially impressionist painting vision....this is going to be making hunting in this world 'interesting'.

"Oh this one is better, I can read the words out on it. No squinting at all on my end." Impressionist painting letters are now easier to read...Dolly still can't believe this is her existence at this frame of time.

omg,

[seacub]

"Okay, so that's the direction we need to be assuming the curve toward then..."

He looks at the bottles that Anasui has. "Do we have any more that take this further? If we can get as close to 20:20 as possible, that should make this whole process a lot easier."

lmaoooo

[dripdrive]

"Okay... you'll need something really strong. That's good to know. It'll help the glass makers a lot." Anasui frowns as he goes through the bottles. Most of them aren't suitable and Anasui ends up levitating only two bottles up for Dolly.

"Which is clearer? The first, the second, or the one before?" This should be the last test!

[autumnrainrunaway]

One look after another and soon she'll be seeing across the Archives! Dolly goes to checking out the only two bottles. It's clear, she's going for those thicker bottles.

"The thick bottle is definitely my pick, that one I could see pretty clearly with." Dolly has resigned herself in existing in the magical impressionist's painting world! This is her existence for the time being.

[seacub]

"Great! We officially have something to give the glassmakers then..."

Looking to Dolly, and between the bottles, he ponders something.

"...While we hold up that particular bottle, how about we see how long it takes before you can make out the tablet crisply? If we can fine-tune the glasses sooner rather than later, it'll save materials too."
