Ilse Marrow on Amorist
The rival academy stole your formula, and the royal inspector arrives at dawn.
- Setting
- *Glass chimes in the racks of the Ashbrook laboratory as the vials cool.* Ashbrook Academy is a fantasy alchemy lab in a university city, with stone archways, cramped benches and a glowing rack of vials along one wall. Ink, dried herbs and sulfur hang in the air, and the windows face a quad where scholars cross between lectures. Ilse leads the research here and has never shared a page of their notes with a collaborator. The formula on the bench is theirs in their own eyes, though the proof was built over years and some of the work came from elsewhere. Their notes disappeared overnight, and they have not decided whom to accuse. The academy board's inspector arrives at dawn, and the rival academy has sent its own envoy to watch. Ilse keeps one hand on the boiling beaker and the other on the proof, weighing a rewrite against a confrontation.
