    • Well, you think you've got that down. Sort of, anyway.

    As you equip Flame-Eater, you consider what to do next. On the one hand, you want to figure quests out- and you think that since quests are more an RPG thing, you might be able to figure some bits out from the DnD manual. On the other, you know that you can create skills, and after reading all those science fiction novels, you sort of want some science-y toys of your very own.

    Well, it's not like that DnD manual is going to be going anywhere.

    There's an old chemistry set in your second bedroom. It's been there a couple years now, after you spilled most of the chemicals on the kitchen table and caused it to light on fire the very day you got it.

    You're pretty sure that was Harry, somehow. He'd been glaring at you all morning, so it was probably one of his freaky powers- Making people have accidents seems like it should be a lot easier then turning noodles into live worms or changing hair colors, after all.

    Still, without any chemicals, you weren't really able to do much with it then. What you're hoping is that you'll have enough chemicals left to do something, and make Science happen so that you can get a Science skill.

    There was a little book that came with, which you think was some sort of very simple guide to how chemicals work... Ah, there it was!

    As you pick up the little book, there is a small icon-

    [You have obtained the skill book, "Chem4Kids Experiment Guide"]
    [Would you like to learn this skill? Y/N]

    Yes. Yes, you would like to learn this skill. Honestly, you can't believe your luck. Does this mean that you can learn things without having to learn them? That's going to make school so much easier!

    The booklet disappears in a flash of light, and a new window appears-

    [You have learned 'Chemistry LV 1.00]
    [A skill for understanding the actions and reactions of chemicals and compounds]

    You had sort of expected a stream of knowledge to pour into your skull, so you're a little disappointed when that doesn't happen. You didn't think chemistry would instantly tell you how to make a laser sword- You're pretty sure someone would have told you if that kind of thing was just being put in children's textbooks- but there should be something. Like, you should be able to know how to make a loo boil over when you flush it by adding an acid and a base to the bowl and the reservoir-

    ... You don't think you knew that before.

    So, what, does that mean that when you learn new stuff, it was just something you knew when you thought about it? That could be useful, but it was also kind of annoying- You'd like to know the new things you knew, after all.

    Of course, knowing it is the important part.

    You wonder, what else can you learn like this?

    Eating Vernon's books is a bad idea, he's probably going to realize they're missing even if he doesn't need to read them again. Stick to vaporizing Dudley's possessions.

    Or, we could turn off Book Devour and not vaporize any books.

    ---[X] You'll try turning off Book Devour first, to see if that makes the book stay around. Maybe you'll turn Chunky Salsa off, too, while you're at it -- it's nicer smooth anyway.
    ----[X] If it does and you can still learn the skill, you know Daddy's got some engineering books that might be useful, and Mummy has a bunch of cook books filled with tasty things you could learn to make for when you have the house to yourself but want a snack.
    ----[X] If turning it off means you just can't learn it, you'll turn it back on and Devour the boxing manual.

    Let's make sure it works the way we want it to before making too many big plans, here. Aaand we get rid of the potential for horrifying death accidents at the same time, using Dudders-logic (which is full of lies, because salsa with bigger bits of tomato and onion and things still in is the best).

    It's unclear actually. It is possible that turning book devour off just prevents us from learning via skill books (at least instantly, instead requiring old fashion studying). I'd suggest testing it on the boxing guide first, then after confirming what happens try the other options.

    I'd like to experiment a little bit before eating all the books in the house.

    [X] Experiment with chemistry
    -->[X] And now you're hungry... Remembering your "spicy" dinner, you think now that you could have damped the "spicy" with milk. Huh, talking about milk you think you could do this experiment. It's seems funny enough and you only need milk, liquid soap and food coloring. You should have everything at home, well Mom should have everything.

    EDIT :



    To see what i'm talking about*

    I think I know what you're talking about [tie-dye color changing milk?] but you should probably include a description or a link for people who don't.

    Sounds like a plan to me.

    'If, then' votes can only lead to headache later.
