Progress is slow, relatively speaking. It takes a lot more effort to transcribe the knowledge of someone else than it does to transcribe my own knowledge. And for the same reason, this transcription creates errors that Tiddol has to proofread for, and considering just how much information we're putting on paper this takes a long time. And to make it worse Tiddol says that the whole process is disquieting like there is some kind of dissonance with her thoughts while I'm transcribing information. Which, strictly speaking, is absolutely true.

I don't want to make Tiddol uncomfortable, but she seems fine with continuing so I'm not going to stop yet.

As a side effect of this project, I am learning quite a bit about alchemy. Nowhere near enough to consider myself competent in the subject, but enough to actually understand most of what Tiddol is saying, even if only vaguely. Unfortunately, I don't see how any of the information I've learned through this so far would be useful to me, but I'm sure I'll figure something out sooner or later.

Other than that I met up with Jasmine today, she was back in town with a load of nuclear waste for us to process. It was a lot of fun to go out around town with her. We ended up going to a dance party, a novelty for me, and getting more than a little tipsy. At one point we invited Azrezel to join us. After that things were a bit of a blur. Things got more than a little intimate and now I'm laying in bed next to both of them, and neither Azrezel nor I want to move for fear of waking Jasmine. This is going to be an awkward talk in the morning, but I mean it can't be any worse than after the first time I slept with Azrezel.

Good thing neither of us needs to move our bodies to keep working on our various projects.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
