Taffy glared. "And I repeat: what kind a f***ed up alchemy are you using!? I mean seriously, alchemy is nothing like that back home. We basically mix shit together and hope something good happens. Next thing you're going to tell me is that everyone and their grandma has a Philosopher's Stone..."

Val turned back to Taffy "...I'm afraid this isn't the philosophizer stone...or i would have gotten my arm back by now" she turned punching the cave wall, a metallic *thunk* is heard from her left arm "see?, Auto-mail," she pulled the glove off, putting the sapphire ring back on, stuffing the glove under her belt.

"Yeah, the Philosopher's Stone doesn't make fire anyways. It makes gold, and it makes you immortal. Or, it can fuck you up and turn you into a monster, like what happened to my old boss, but according to Beatrice, that's a one in a million chance, and Lili just got really unlucky." Taffy said. "But the Philosopher's Stone is the end goal of all alchemy... everything we do is related to making that thing. Sure, you have side projects, but the main goal is to actually make it."

"You dont know what the main ingredient is, do you?" Val said, glaring at Taffy. "A few have tried to recreate the philosopher's stone, but they failed...Edward found that out when trying to decipher the recipe"

"Edward? Who's this Ed guy anyways... He better not sparkle." Taffy stated. "Anyways, I doubt it's that bad, considering that my friend Beatrice has one, and while she's a crazy bitch, she's not one to do something too crazy."

"um...by 'crazy' what do you mean...since the main ingredient in the philosophers stone creation, was the sacrifice of millions of human lives" Val said, her tone still straight "and I'm not surprised the people around here dont know theres only one real one.."

"Jesus christ, millions?" Taffy said, astonished. "Well, from the sounds of things, you're from a different universe than I am... We've got at least four Philosopher's Stone's hanging around mine... My friend Beatrice has one, Nicholas Flamel's got one, Lili (that's my old boss, crazy bitch if you've ever met one), and then Rasputin had one before they finally managed to kill him, and his apparently burnt up with his body."

"Really!? That many!? oh wow...i thought no one had the stomach to kill that many people, i seriously didn't think it could be done either...Ah well, i hope they where deserving of the death" Val let out a soft sigh "Anyway back to Ed, his full name is Edward Elric. His brother Alphonso, or Al, Elric was killed as they tried human transmutation to get there mother back...around the same time...i tried to get my father back..and i lost my left arm. Edward only lost his leg at first, then he lost his brother. He then transmuted his brothers soul into a suit of armor, that now walks on its own" Val paused for a second to let the information sink in then continued. "they are after the real philosophers stone so that they can get Al's body back and Eds limbs back...And my arm back" Val then looked down at her left arm, curling it into a fist a couple times. I can still feel it, but not as well as my real arm. Ah, sorry, I'm boring you with a long speech"

"...That story sounds kinda familiar." Taffy mumbled. It was all coming back to him now. That stupid TV show. It was probably better if he didn't bring it up. "And I'm pretty sure you don't have to kill people to make 'em in my universe, considering the best guess right now as to how to make 'em was taking lead and applying magic and alchemy to it, which tends to just make things blow up in your face."
He started thinking. "So, why do you want it for your arm, anyways? Philosopher's Stones don't exactly regenerate flesh. They just make gold, and make you immortal if you don't screw up."

"Actually, you don't know the full power of the philosophers stone" Valerie said with a mumble "Anyway. Any family or siblings hiding like you? or you the only one?" Val stood up, pulling out her dagger, sitting back down. She started messing with it, twisting i, making sure the blade was sharp and that the hilt fi right in her hand.

Taffy chuckled. "Not from where I come from, they don't. A different construct means different properties. One of the prime rules of alchemy back home. The first one's that equal exchange thing, and I always forget the others... There's like twenty or something. And I'm not hiding! I just prefer it out here. Some other alchemists from back home have come to the island, but supposedly, Bea's still stuck in a plushie form, Tree's gone missing, there's two of Chip running around, and Lili's been carrying out mass murder... you get the idea."

"Nah." Taffy said simply. "I have a door to finish building, otherwise the monsters might attack me at night, and I hear that there's werewolves in this canyon... or somethin'."

"Ok" Val said with a slight smile, she stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave. She stopped at the entrance and looked around the area, looking for a path. Not seeing one she turned to her right and began walking, keeping close to the mountain/canyon wall.
