"Acting Grandmaster Jean!"

She turned to see Marjorie hurrying towards her.

Jean just managed to refrain from snapping back. Perhaps the lack of sleep was getting to her head (I feel ya, pal). "Can I help y-?"

A screech behind them made her jump. "JEAN!!"

Well fuck.

No wait, grandmasters aren't allowed to swear.

Fiddlesticks.

When she tried to find the source of the sound, Amber tore around the corner. "Jean, she's mad, she's mad, you've got to stop her!" she cried.

A knight ran from behind Amber. "Grandmaster, do you know where Albedo is?"

Before Jean could sort out what was going on, an enormous rumble cut her off- the noise was coming from the direction Amber had emerged.

Jean scampered after it, heart pounding. She didn't know what she expected to see...

...But it certainly wasn't this.

Jean folded her arms, trying to still her nerves. "Sucrose, what in the name of Barbatos are you doing?"

The young alchemist was in the middle of a futile attempt to force a bizarre, overlarge machine that was screeching and whistling into the very normally sized doorway of her workshop. She stopped when she saw Jean. "Um... Good- good morning." She smiled shyly. "I've been putting to use your gift to me, grandmaster, the lottery one."

Jean gaped, dumbfounded. "What is that?"

Sucrose blushed and stared at the floor. "Th-This is a Disinfectionating Photon Diversion Modifier. From Fontaine. The light... in the lab... It's been getting kind of dirty..."

"I didn't realize it would be so... big." Jean managed weakly. "Are there more like this?"

Sucrose shuffled and mumbled. "Um... yes. So far I've purchased a Refocusing Sift-Conduction Stabilizer, three Flexibility-Propelling Centrifuges, eight-"

Albedo walked in, hurried by an antsy knight. "What's going on here?"

He stopped. "Is that a Disinfectionating Photon Diversion Modifier? Thank God, we've needed that for ages!"
