Weirdly, Gustave has leave us alone for 2 days now.
I mean this is a good thing, a REALLY good thing but I can't get the feeling out that this feels really wrong, like this is the calm before the storm.
There is no reason for her to just... stop being a nuisance.
The wait is killing me, being so calm and not having her around is actually stressing me out even more than her messing with me in the first place.
well, it doesn't matter... for now at least.
Today I was going to do some experiments with Faraday, I grew curiosity to that Transmutation thing we discovered recently.
I brought some mundane objects I found laying all around the facility. as far as I know she doesn't need a specific material or something like that.
well, I don't know anything about that in the first Place, I'm mostly just guessing, but hey this will be fun nonetheless.
I see why Cecile likes this kind of things. (she doesn't actually*)
I enter the room with a bunch of stuff in my hands. plastic cups and used plastic containers being most of them. I had to grab stuff that was used already because I don't think the facility personnel would like me taking away the new stuff.
-Wake up dear!.
-*snore* W-WHA- oh, hiiii.
She said while her eyes were still mostly closed, spit coming out of her mouth and hair being incredibly messy, even for faraday standards.
-Good afternoon dear.
-Afternoon?.
-Yeah, it's 1 pm already.
-WHAT?!.
-I see you Slept well. I'm glad.
-S-sorry I don't usually sleep that long.
-No worries, did you had trouble sleeping at night?.
-Not really.
She says while scratching her head.
-Then what happened?.
-I dunno I just were more sleepy for some reason ha ha.
-Try not to make it a habit, it would mess with your eating schedule.
-Oh, sorry...
-Don't worry honey, do you want something to eat?.
-Yes pleaseeee.
-What do you want.
- Uuuuuh anything is good, but can you even get me food?, what about Gustave?.
-I haven't seen her at all recently so I guess it's ok if I feed you, if anything I'll just get yelled at.
-But I don't want you to be yelled...
-It's okay honey, I can take it. But nothing will stop me from bringing you something to eat.
I said as I pinched her cheek and moved her around a little.
I let the box I had in my hands near the cage. so I can walk out to grab something for Faraday.
-Oh, what is all this?
-Some random stuff I found, Don't worry, I'll explain later.
-Oookaaay?.
I went to the cafeteria and made Faraday some Eggs with a little bit of bacon the guy running the whole thing kindly gave to me.
-*nom nom* Woaa this is so goooood!.
-I'm glad you liked it.
-Your food is always delicious!.
-I learned how to properly cook some years ago. I even wanted to became a chef at some point.
-You would rock if you were a chef, why didn't you do it?.
-I guess.... Well it doesn't matter, if I had I wouldn't be the one in charge of you so... I'm actually pretty glad I didn't became one, because I got to keep you safe, and that is what makes me the happiest man alive.
After I said that I layed on the cage looking at the wall, I noticed quickly how the sound of the fork hitting the plate stopped so I turned to see if everything was alright, only to see Faraday with her plate in her hand tearing up and looking at me while silently sobbing.
-H-hey there is no need to get so emotional!.
I wipe the tears of her face while she is still sniffing looking at me with those bubble eyes.
-Come on, your breakfast will get cold.
-S-s-sowwy.
She says while she starts eating again.
After she is done I take away the plate and pull the box as near as I can to the cage.
-So, do you remember that thing we discovered a couple of days ago?.
-The gold thingy?.
-Yes, the gold thingy YOU made, I wanted to try something, how about you try to make something into another thing?.
-I thought that Is what I was doing already.
-Nono, that is making a material into another material, but how about, for example, a cup of plastic into a paper towel?. Or the lens of a microscope into a coin with all the engravings in it?.
-Ooooh.... that sounds really hard to do.
-I was thinking the same but we won't lose anything by trying.
- Except those plastic cups.
-Oh but don't worry they're used already so no one will miss them.
-Oh, okay.
-Here, have one.
-Oooookay let me see. what could I with something like this?.
-Maybe it is best if we keep it simple... How about... Oh!, I know, try to make it into a plate.
-A silver one?.
-Yes like the one I give you your food on.
-I... don't think I know how to do something like that.
-Just do what you did that time with the coal.
-But that one was just changing the element, it's like painting it's not a big deal.
But this is like sculpting, I don't know if I can change the form.
-Hmmm... well you did say it would be like sculpting. how about you put some pressure to those lightnings like how you do to move yourself?.
-Would that work?.
-Well you making an element change to another shouldn't work but... here we are.
-....True.
-Try with one cup, maybe just one side to see if that works.
- Okaaaay, let me see.
She puts the cup in the floor, and again rests her whole body on the floor to get her face as close as possible.
She puts one finger in front of the cup, one big spark came out, the light was quite intense this time, almost resembling a welder's tool, fortunately for my eyes, it only lasted a split second.
-Oh.... OH IT WORKED!.
-It did?.
-YEEES LOOOK IT WORKED!.
-Sheesh calm down, I can't see it clearly with you jumping that much.
- Oh, sorry.
I see the cup now and she was right, one side of the cup it's half folded to the bottom but it's also made of silver now.
- Impressive, so you can actually make it.
- Apparently.
She says with a big smile on her face.
-So, how about you try and make the whole thing this time?.
-Sure thing!.
I gave her a new cup so she would start from the beginning, that way we can discover if she can do a whole object from scratch.
-Now, just tell me before you start to cover my eyes dear.
-Oh right, I'll start now!.
I give her a thumbs up when I have my hand in my eyes. Even with the hand in front of my face I could still see a little bit of blue.
This time, most likely by the fact that it's quite large now, it wasn't a split second but up to 25 seconds. I guess most of if was due to needing to fold and push everything correctly, it's like sculpting in clay.
-It's done!.... I think.
I uncover my eyes to see it, it truly is a copy of the plate I bring her food in.
Steam comes out of it, almost as if it just cooled from being melted.
- Amazing.
-Is it?.
-I mean yeah!, this is absolutely amazing, you know the things you could do with this power?. it's fantastic.
-I mean I don't see how making a silver plate is amazing.
- Well yeah, being a plate is underwhelming but this is just the beginning of something even more fantastic, think about all the possibilities you have at your disposal, your only limit is your imagination!.
-My imagination....
-Yes, you could do anything you'd like.
-Anything....
-Now hold on while I go and save this up in a save place so I can show it to Cecile when she comes back, she'll love this! Haha.
-Ce...
__________________________________________
As Alan went to another room a certain though... well, more like a wish made it's way into Faraday's brain.
Faraday then took 2 plastic cups and put them together, she thought this would be enough material to work with.
She sat down and faced the opposite direction of the door as she was doing something that could put her on trouble.
Faraday closed her eyes and started wishing for something.
For someone, to appear.
With all of her will and desire she let go of her restrains and sparks flied across the room, the whole cell was a pure white blue, even the the lights outside the room couldn't compete with the light coming out of her cell.
After exactly a minute and a half something inside Faraday told her that it was enough, she stopped.
The room was again only being illuminated by the lights outside and a couple inside.
She really didn't want to open her eyes in fear of being in front of something horrible but the result was something completely different.
as she opened her eyes they opened up completely and her face was os true surprise as she saw in front of her and near gear hands a doll.
A doll made to the complete image of Cecile. every tiny detail was put into this doll.
The lab coat, her pants, the hair was perfectly replicated, it even had removable glasses.
anything distinguishing this doll from the real deal was her eyes, instead of cristal eyes or even plastic ones, her eyes were only 2 little dots.
the doll was seating barely diagonally but still facing Faraday.
Faraday took the doll to inspect it.
And was even more surprised by the amount of detail that was put into this.
The lab coat was real, the glasses had actual glass and even worked as actually lenses.
Faraday stood there watching the doll from Al angles, she stopped at her face, the face of the doll was neutral, no expresion on her face, specially her mouth as it just rested being a line.
This however didn't stop Faraday from getting emotional by seeing a representation of the person she loves the most.
Holding in in her hands and looking at her face Faraday couldn't help but start tearing up a bit and smiling with her whole hearth.
The doll then smiled back at her.
-W-WHAAAAA-?!.
Faraday screamed as she let go of the doll who fell to the ground.
Her face was again pure surprise.
-H....Hello?!.
The doll was laying face down, Faraday expected it to mover her hands and legs and star walking on its own but it never did.
-O-oh i-m sorry miss Cecile (?).
She picked the doll back up and had a little bit of fear to turn her over to face her but she did in the end.
The doll was once again looking like it had a straight serious face.
But after looking at faraday for a couple of seconds it's went back to smiling again.
-Are you alive?.
Faraday asked but no answered was given. The doll couldn't walk nor talk, the only thing the doll is capable of is expressing emotions through her face. And at this time, nothing made it happier thang looking at the girl.
The girl she loves the most.
