I once shredded my mother's indoor herb garden with sewing scissors, but I was making tea. That's different. Precision isn't key."

Her mother had been amused, and that was the genesis of the first knife Katy had ever been given. She'd been six.

"Magnesium and Potassium nitrate and castor oil. I think only that last one is likely to be here, but... who knows? I've been surprised by the supplies before."

Though his eyes remained largely trained on the book at hand, searching for alternative ingredients, Levi snickered. "What sort of tea was this? A very colorful blend of a great many tea leaves?" It was a genuine question, despite the way his eyes crinkled. "I'd like to point out that this is yet more proof that what I said when we first met remains true--you're trouble."

He pulled out his journal and self-inking quill and in his slightly scrawly, roundish penmanship, began to write down.

Quote:

1 tbsp of molasses: potassium replacement.
4 ½ tbsps of powdered kelp: magnesium.
½ alaria leaf: would it be overkill? It's also magnesium.
Sea salt and/or beet juice to replace the nitrate.
??? scoops of octopus powder. ~~Would depend on~~ subject to the strength desired for the fireworks.

Actually all measures are subject to just how many fireworks we're going for. Ask K.T.

1 tbsp of Molasses: 500 mg of potassium.

Levi slid over the notes to her. "Do you think we'd even need the castor oil to stabilize this?" He tapped the tip of his nose with his quill. "It wouldn't even be the real thing, these are just replacements, so..." Maybe not. "Is it boiling? are we out of time?"
