The Reborn - Finishing What Was Started [M]

[Enigma]

The ancient Egyptians were making pills. Mortar and pestle, that most essential tool for apothecaries, you use it to grind and combine your ingredients in the right proportions. Roll out the resulting ball into a rope. Cut rope into even-sized pieces. Coat pills - toffee if it's for children, shellac for adults, miners get theirs gold-dusted (helped with the joints). A pill rolling "machine" was available in the 19th century to make this a bit more uniform.

Of course, the Vicodin that Melvin provides isn't going to look the same as a rolled pill - it's probably going to look more like a shape made by a candy drop machine, from about the same era.

I understand, but that doesn't mean such a thing exits in this world!

Then if Jeon and the Probe get stuck there, the franchising rights will make them rich within a few years.

[Minkasha]

Yes, that’s right! Do you mind editing the PM and then sending it to me?

[Enigma]

edited and resent

Wow we are on page 15 now! Yeaaaa!

I'm going to do a slight time skip

[Minkasha]

Ha! ‘Melvin’ is just going to dip out of that conversation! Ahahaha

Might as well ask the kid if they've seen Theaobin before he trots off!

[Enigma]

they couldn't say, so off I went. But now they strike Melvin's interest. Never a good thing, really.

[Azazeal849]

Fair point.

I think he may have just terrified a child out of ever trying to make friends again.
