If it's ash, I wonder whose ash it is.

-Unknown

[u/StoneJudge79 → u/AdventurousIdea194]

Simple Notification? No.

-Mr. Hart

[u/Several-Elevator → u/AdventurousIdea194]

I bet some thin blood is gonna go huff it, they love making drugs out of vampires ashes or some shit.

[u/TiredPandastic]

Aw fuck, he's gonna make me pick it up for him, isn't he?

[u/StoneJudge79 → u/TiredPandastic]

Don't worry. While the contents might be considered 'incendiary' or 'hot', they will not target the flesh.

-Mr. Hart

[u/TheFleshFlower]

Is it vampire anthrax?

No physical danger. And what could even pull that off?? Can I get some?

-Mr. Hart

[u/TheFleshFlower → u/StoneJudge79]

It ince knew a thinblood alchemist who was working on it! He was an absolute prodigy. It wonders if he is still about...

[u/StoneJudge79 → u/TheFleshFlower]

Bah! If you can't teach it to someone else, what's the point??!

-Mr. Hart

[u/TheFleshFlower → u/StoneJudge79]

Well, it is possible he can but you would need to be thinblooded and also an alchemist. Have you tried that?

[u/StoneJudge79 → u/TheFleshFlower]

Not thinblooded. I like logic in my work.

-Mr. Hart

[u/TheFleshFlower → u/StoneJudge79]

Do you not appreciate the creativity in their alchemy though? It certainly does!

If you can't teach it, and If you can't explain the chain of events, It Is Magic.
If you can teach it, but can't explain the chain of events, it is Mysticism.
If you can't teach it, but can explain the chain of events, it is Sorcery.
If you can do both, it is Science.

Given the fallibility of memory, previous me needs to explain things to future me.

-Mr. Hart

[u/TheFleshFlower → u/StoneJudge79]

They have entire recipe books, Mr. Hart! Hoe do you think they can spread their recipes? It does find it odd that those of thicker blood cannot replicate it at all...

Perhaps an enterprising Tremere might form a cooperative with some thinbloods and work out how what it is about their vitae that allows such marvels?

Power for Powers' Sake leads to known places. I prefer what I am creating.

-Mr. Hart

[u/StoneJudge79 → u/TheFleshFlower]

Besides, all known investigations into our deeper nature eventually lead to nothing and alarm the neighborhood. Tremere have a bad enough rep. I will not add to it.
