i woudn't go for the gristwidget because even if L33T could do it wich isn't garentee because the shard whould have had access to symilar tech in they scouring of the universe.
it would probably cost a enormous amount of grist also probably ultra rare grits
I'm failing to parse this. He can for sure make the shitty version and alchemizing an upgraded version will probably be expensive, yeah but it's still more reliable than the Lures and we could try to alchemize a more efficient version or potentially link up with the PRT and hope Armsy can make it more efficient.
Alright, vote time. Let's look at the options again.
[] Uber and Leet are criminals. Ones the PRT aren't taking seriously, but are in need of justice just as much as anyone else. You saw that video of them beating up those prostitutes, as some kind of fucked-up GTA roleplay- and they've hurt a lot of other people besides. Maybe if you got in close, you could take them down from the inside- and take advantage of their abilities and resources in the meantime.
[] Uber and Leet are people. Gross, weird, fucked up people. But people. The PRT hasn't cracked down on them for a reason, right? Maybe if you joined up, you could guide them away from the more hardcore stuff? Or even, dare you say it- perform a redemption arc? Hah, probably not, no. But either way, it would at least ensure access to tinkertech to play with in your combinations.
Yeah, meat or candy really is the name of the game here. And honestly? I'm tired of people not taking Uber and Leet seriously as villains, or treating them as somehow less mentally unwell than the psychotic bomber and the sociopathic snake.
If we were to imagine Uber and Leet in our world, they'd be like the guys in Homestuck who give the fandom its bad reputation in conventions and on social media. The fact that they like something we also like isn't THAT big of a draw if they also take things too far. No one should think that a criminal is justified in shooting something or someone because they are "in character."
That said, we've already accepted the deal. So we may as well act professional and finish what we started, and from their initial tone its clear that they're more interested in the concept we can offer rather than what we actually have.
Now, the choices for rewards, with my comments on each:
[] Forest Lure. A small box that slowly builds up synthesized pheromones that attract random forest creatures. 25% chance of breaking every time you use it, but you might be about to get a lot of grist out of it before then, if you're lucky. Making this will render Leet almost totally incapable of creating other lures. [A 25% chance of breaking?! Not cost effective at all. Might as well buy actual professional hunting lures.]
[] Water lure. Same principle as the forest lure, but for the water. For the record, large fish do indeed give grist, though you're unlikely to get any other than build from them. Stranger sorts like sharks or octopi might be a different story, but will be rarer. Will be generally less effective than the forest lure for getting special grist, but better for build grist, and way better than hunting birds. Same odds of breaking. Making this will render Leet almost totally incapable of creating other lures. [This one's a little bit better due to the fact that we could access animals that we can't normally, but not much. It's still too easily broken.]
[] Gristwidget 69420. [Grist for shredded cards and cash, which will cost us a lot of information revealed and shared to an unknown number of parties, likely including Coil somewhere down the line. Not worth it.]
For this reason, here's what I'm going to vote:
[X] Uber and Leet are criminals. You don't like what you're doing, but you'll do what is needed for this job and get out of there as fast as possible if law enforcement arrives, so you don't get associated with them as a villain. IF it all goes well, then you can work out a business deal later on, but it will be purely transactional contact only. In other words, you play it how Rogues do it.
[X] Ask him to create you a Mob Breeder/Mob Farm - something that will fuse any two species of animals you put into it (whether that's just the DNA or the animals themselves is to be determined), and create a hybrid animal that cannot reproduce. In exchange, you offer to combine more of Leet's busted tech as long as he gets you the animals you need to make it for him on a case by case basis. Cost to be determined, but likely either free or heavily discounted.
Leet likely has never created something like this, since it's right on the edge of Biotinker territory. At the same time, it also has the potential to be a better source for unique Grist AND it's a lot more viable than the Lures. Additionally, if it works with DNA you now have another use for stuff such as animal corpses, food, and even products with animals in them.
If they prove a little more reliable, or if we really need a trump card, then MAYBE we can ask about that Gristwidget another time.
[X] Both of these options feel fucking gross and dangerous, and you don't want to work with them at all beyond this project.
-[X] But, you don't hate them or anything. You wouldn't pick a fight if you saw them around after this, unless they started it.

Frogs, are your answer to Grist.
They spawn huge amounts of eggs that can all grow up to be frogs, so if you set up a terrarium or a few hundred in abandoned warehouses with Alchemy stuff to feed then or keep them warm.
You will basically have unlimited frogs to kill, all you need is a blender and then you feed the blended up frogs and growth hormones to the wild dogs so that they grow big and stronk so you can harvest more grist from them.
Bitch will certainly come looking for your head, but well you can always blend the dogs and feed them to your frogs to hide the evidence.
Also, the clearcut answer is to go kill Blasto's stuff or go kill Nilbogs monsters or have Panacea alter a tree to grow rabbits that you can plant in your backyard.
Does cutting down a tree give you grist?
It's technically a living creature if you squint.

i mean it's l33t tech it will of course break down and we will have to make it agin using grits what i mean is that even the base verison will be expensive

[X] Write-in.
-[X] Grist Positioning System: While a full Gristwidget might prove useful, the costs aren't negligible. Instead, allow L33t to study your grist gathering, and parts of your technology, so he can produce a scanner that aids in tracking down what creatures would be valid sources of grist types, and/or determines what grist types that a creature will provide. In return, we will determine the grist costs of tech he wants to be duplicated, and collaborate on obtaining the grist sources and using them to duplicate that tech.
This way, we get a Quid-pro-quo, and ensure that uber and l33t don't demand more from us than we can actually provide, since they will be informed of the costs, and be brought in on establishing what needs to happen to meet those material costs. It might mean we have to have a more in-depth working relationship with them, since we will need to potentially dupe more tech for him in exchange for them helping acquire the grist to dupe it, but it also means that they are forced to temper their expectations, because of the aforementioned information sharing and collaboration.
With that said, I also vote:

It might seem counterintuitive, since if we join them fully and optimistically, we could go for the gristwidget, but it's worth considering that the gristwidget won't actually help us in resource acquisition, it's a resource CONVERTER. We spend money AND items to get Grist, but we aren't exactly flush with either of them. Something to help track down grist sources will be more valuable, because killing animals (and trying to farm them) will ultimately be more valuable where we are now, (low on money AND good items)
Sooner or later, we're either going to have to start killing more exotic animals and biotinker creations, or we're going to have to get large amounts of money. It stands to reason that we're in a position to kill animals right now, and we desire ways to figure out what animals need to be killed before we commit. Taking a GrPS to a zoo and covertly scanning the animals would instantly give us a ton of options for how to move forwards without having to commit to killing them just to find out if they're worth killing or not.

ouch i was asleep when i wrote that i was thinking of a recicler to separate item in their componant that we then in the futur could alchemise with a moddus to maybe be able to recicle them in grist
I'd like to point out, as a side note, if we aren't getting something we COULDN'T get otherwise, I don't think we should get anything at all.
The lures, for example, I don't think are worth getting. They don't really help us in a way that requires tinkertech, considering we could just make actual traps and lures to catch animals.
Duplicating the lures would be pricy, potentially, due to the fact that tinkertech in general is valuable, so we might not even get the right grist to replicate a lure, even if we use the lure.

Days passed. I got bullied, I noted everything they did, I angsted about how useless it all was, I tried to alchemize things that obviously wouldn't work, I hunted birds and vermin to calm down (+117 build), same thing, day after day.
And so, I hit my new lowest low: Meeting with Uber and Leet being the best part of my day.
We met up in the alleyway again.
"I haven't tested it yet." Leet said. "Didn't want it to break. The synthesized pheromones and the materials I had to use for the ampoules that hold the stuff don't play well together. Sorry to say it, but you might not get a lot of chances to use this thing."
I captchalogued it out of his hand. "That's fine. I can probably duplicate it, remember? If it works, anyway."
"Hey that's right!" Uber yelled suddenly, as I took a look at the back of the card, to take note of the code. "We're basically giving you infinity of these, right? We should get some extra tech for that."
"Whatever." I say, quietly, not wanting to argue. But then quickly reconsider, and say "Actually, maybe not. I think my power is having some issues with this thing."
I say that, because honestly, I could not read this captcha.
"Oh that is such a load of horseshit! Are you really going to try and rip us off like this?" Leet said. "I don't know who you think we are if you think we-"
"Shut up. I can't duplicate it if I can't read the code." I snap at him, before pulling the card into physical space. "See? This is fucking unreadable. "
"Codes?" Leet looks interested. "And what is this thing anyway? Is this what you're storing stuff in?"
"That's on a need to know basis. Point is, I can't do it. Not without expending even more grist, anyway. Besides, you agreed to the deal, and knew I could copy tinkertech. It isn't my fault you hadn't realized, I thought you knew."
Uber squints at the card. "w-n-u... Something, y, u or w probably, based on the black space. Could be lower or uppercase... w-A-W-9."
I'm a little taken aback. It's shocking to see Uber actually use his power for something useful. "Hm. Noted. Thank you, I'll be sure to try that. But of course, it only matters if it works."
We got in Uber's car. I tried to breath through my mouth, and not touch the mess, but the thing was just too full of garbage to avoid it. It reeked of old fast food. But Uber was, as you'd expect, really good at driving. It helped that it was late, few other cars on the road. I was trepidatious to say the least, about getting in a car with these two, but worse comes to worse, I could disarm them of anything I might need to, and I always had my gun.
We arrived in the forest with thankfully little fanfare. I pull out the lure. It's a small black box, with my symbol, the little green bug, painted on the bottom. A nice touch. On top was a valve with a button in the center that you could press down to allow the valve to spin. Meanwhile, there were curved indents on the sides of the box, all four holding glass- well, not glass I guess, but it looked like glass- ampoules filled with a pale, iridescent yellow fluid. Nozzles pointed out from the four top corners.
I pressed the button, and span the valve. Mist spayed out of the nozzles at a speed that honestly looked dangerous. Thankfully, Leet had warned me to hold my arms out from my body, and avoid having the nozzles pointed directly at any part of me. The mist covered the entire area, in a giant "X" shape, that slowly spread out.
It didn't take long for the first animal to show up. By which I mean, about thirty squirrels, followed soon by a shit ton of dear, bears, and other assorted forest creatures. So many, in fact, that we were almost overwhelmed, and Leet and Uber actually had to step in and help fight. Unfortunate, because I don't get the grist from those kills, but it's hard to complain when swarms of cuddly forest animals are trying to dogpile you. I ran out of ammo quickly, and resorted to strategic captchaloguing to take out the threats both big and small- the small ones being stored for later killing, the big ones getting pelted with random heavy shit I'd filled it with.
After about half an hour, they stopped coming. Possibly because the pheromones had worn off, possibly because we'd massively and irresponsibly disrupted the forest's ecology and killed or captchalogued basically every single creature in it, who can say! But you know what? I didn't care. Didn't give half a shit. You know why?
(+5,870 Build, +706 Silk, +160 Shell, +140 Shellac, +270 Carmine, +812 Petal, +53 Pollen, +20 Nectar, +490 Propolis, +4 Honey. Massive penalty due to most of the kills not being yours.)
I felt light-headed. In part due to the pain and blood-loss from the various bites and scratches all over my body, but also from the unbridled, heady power. I'd never had this much grist. Uber and Leet didn't share my enthusiasm.
Leet sheathed his weird tinker-extendo sword. "That was bad." He said, in a tone that suggested he thought it was possibly a little bit worse than "bad", but didn't have the words.
Uber didn't say anything. Just stared, as gore dripped off of us. Finally, he spoke. "We should probably get out of here, in case anybody heard and comes to check it out."
I nodded, feeling a touch delirious. We got in the car. Uber had the audacity to complain we were getting blood all over the seats.
Soon, we were back where we began, the alley. There was much yelling, on Leet's part, now that the shock had worn off and he could process the near death experience. Pretty silly considering he was the one who made the damn thing, and misjudged how effective it would be, but it's not like I expect maturity from these guys. I let it wash past me, nodding and grunting at the right places to get the conversation moving forward. Eventually, he opened the trunk of the car, grabbed some stuff, told me to duplicate it and leave it here when it was done, and that he would have more for me in the future that he expected me to copy as recompense for helping fight the animal horde. Then, blessedly, they left.
I stumble home. Thankfully I have the presence of mind to swap into my normal clothing well before hand, so as to avoid getting (as much) blood all over the place. The adrenaline is wearing off, but the excitement is only growing. So much grist. Not enough- nothing could ever be enough- but so much. I wasn't expecting the lure to be that effective- evidently, neither was Leet, but unlike him, I wasn't about to complain.
I threw myself into the shower, to get off the remaining gore. My wounds stung like crazy but I knew I had to wash them at least, and so I powered through.
...Wow, that's a lot of blood. Better slap on some band-aids as well.
I got out of the shower, threw on a new set of clothing, and rushed down to the basement.
Firstly, the Lure. I ran through the possible codes, not sure which is correct, but it didn't matter because I couldn't get any of them. The others all had weird costs, not to mention they seemed too cheap over all, mostly locked behind me not having the right grist types, rather than the "fuck you" style of overpricing I'd expect from tinkertech, so I'm pretty sure this is the right one:
wnuWwAW9: 10 ???, 10 Nectar, 50 ???, 100 Propolis, 500 Honey
Hard to say for sure though. Oh well, I tried. But I didn't let it get me down. Because could finally deploy a new machine!
-1000 Build
The jumper block extension manifested, and hooked itself into the alchemiter. I quickly filled all it's slots up with punch card shunts (-80 Build) and got to experimenting.
It seems that I could slot a punched card into a shunt, and it would upgrade the alchemiter with that item's functionality. Sadly, I couldn't captchalogue my machines- they're too big- so those were right out. Very unfortunate, as the basement was getting pretty damn claustrophobic. Would have been nice if I could have combined them into one, and maybe reduced the total bulk. Not for the first time, I have to wonder if I'll be able to keep dad out of here forever somehow, or if one day I'll have to explain why a bunch of giant machines are cluttering the place...
Whatever. I punched a card with the code for the light gun modus, and threw it in a shunt, just to see what would happen.
The alchimiter gained a screen, with a light gun hooked next to it. I wasn't quite sure what it did, it was blank...
I made a new card, to replace the one I destroyed punching it (-1 Build) and the function became apparent. The item failed to manifest, and instead appeared on the screen as an image of a captchalogue card, inside another captchalogue card. The code of the stored item displayed beneath it. Shooting it with the light gun added it to my captchalogue.
Okay, so it's like in intermediary storage for things I make? Could be useful, if not for the fact that cards didn't take up much space, and were cheap to make. Granted, it does show me the code, but it doesn't let me just put items in- I can only take them out, or put in things I've alchemized- and if I've alchemized something, that means I have the code for it already anyway. So, not helpful. I guess it's good for things like, say, the dandyskit? Instant containment for if I alchemize something dangerous. With that thought in mind, I guess I'll leave the card in the shunt.
Well, at least I know how it works now.
I'm desperate to screw around with the shunts some more, or to get to work on some of the more promising alchemizations I've come up with, but I guess Leet's tech comes first. Thankfully, he didn't trust me enough to give any of his actual finished projects to work on to begin with, just parts for now, so I can prove I'm not bullshitting.
Tinkertech components -50 Pollen Grist. (Code noted, may be used in combinations!)
Okay, well, that blows. All but three of my pollen were used up just copying this box of parts. And given Leet's earlier comment about me owing him, maybe tinkering more and using up grist would be irresponsible of me- haha fuck that. I've been waiting... how long has it been now? Too long. Way too long. It's time to alchemize.
(+69 Bug Grist) Well. Okay, that's quite nice, just a whole new grist type- one that looks like a bunch of glitchy JPEG artifacts. I guess recipes with a negative cost give you grist- I had figured as much, which was why I bothered wasting so much silk on this. And I figured it'd be a waste- but holy shit, it's so much worse than you can fathom.
It's a pair of glasses, with the functionality of a phone. But the lenses are shaped like E.T.'s head, and are both way too big. There's no way to get them to sit right on my head. The lenses are heavy enough that the temples can't actually keep them attached. You have to kind up look up, and balance them carefully on the bridge of your nose, or otherwise just hold them in place with a hand.
They try and operate by putting a UI over your vision, with apps that you can open by looking at the icons- except that there's no need to stare, just look, and the thing instantly tries to open it. So you're constantly opening and closing things at near-random, and having more than one app open at a time makes the thing lag like crazy and eventually crash. As for the apps themselves, most of them are shitty, broken rip-offs of basic games like Pong, Tetris, and Breakout. It also has a browser I've never heard of that actually looks kinda neat. Nemesis. It's icon is the only well drawn thing in the... POYI, I guess I'll abbreviate it to, in lieu of the otherwise wordy name.
It can make phone calls apparently. So, I technically have a way to call 911 to report a captured criminal or whatever. I'll have to test this by calling our home phone sometime when dad isn't around, make sure everything is comprehensible...
[BULLSHIT DART PRINTOUT && BUBBLE GUN]
TAKE A NAP YOU BUBBLY BITCH
4 Nectar 2 Pollen 0 Bug
Well, it was cheap at least. It's an oddly boxy bubble gun that fires triangular bubbles with images of a "Z" in them. Releasing one of many lab-rats that I have stored away for situations like this, I hit it with the bubbles. No reaction. I turn it on myself, and feel...
...
...
...Wha- oh.
Damn it, I almost just passed out. Okay, this thing makes you drowsy I guess. But like, it can be resisted, and I'm basically dead on my feat already. So it's not great. Still, better than I'd expect for something this cheap, with those ingredients. With that said, let's move on to "real" combinations, not crappy JPEG art.
Huh, okay. This seems... dangerous. Maybe in a good way, maybe not.
Basically, it now takes bubble fluid instead of water, but it's far more economical with it, and you can just screw a bottle of the stuff in rather than needing to hook up a hose. It fires a barrage of... well, flaming bubbles. They hurt, lightly singeing things easily, though it's not super quick to get something to actually combust with them unless you maintain fire. They also, like any other bubble, can be easily carried off by the wind. Here's hoping I don't start a forest fire.
Alright, that's most of the really cheap stuff. Time to start going a little farther with this...
Maybe. Maybe... Maybe not? I don't want to waste resources. How careful should I be?
[] It's okay to splurge on bigger stuff, it'll probably be better anyway. You need a real weapon to hunt animals in those amounts, and you're not gonna get it by being carful with your expenditures.
[] Just build up more cheap items for now. Make lots of little things, quantity over quality.
And honestly... maybe I'm even more out of it than I thought. Because actually, what I should do, is fill the punch card shunts. Who knows what kind of benefits I'm missing out on?
[] Write-in! Any item Taylor has/can get a code for can go in the shunts. Don't bother voting up other people's ideas for this one, just throw every idea at me that you got (though no more than eight per person please...) and lets see what sticks. I'll pick whatever I think Taylor would find useful out of whatever you guys suggest.
[] Write-in! Also toss in any alchemy ideas you have, if you have them. Again, try and limit yourself to eight (or preferably less) because otherwise it gets to be a bit of a slog for me.
AN: Woah, hang on, another update? So soon? "Surly this cant be real" you say to yourself, exactly like that, with the misspelling and missing an apostrophe and period, so wrapped up in your own excitement. Little do you know that a cruel and capricious god watches over you always, and that this indignity you have forced it to witness will be the tipping point of your damnation. So close to the pearly gates you were, but now here you are, where you have always been deep down: Worm Fanfiction Purgatory.
Anyway, expect updates to the Grist Gazette, Alchemy Excursus, and the Phernalia Registry tomorrow probably maybe. eventually. Nemesis sprite taken from here.
[X] Just build up more cheap items for now. Make lots of little things, quantity over quality.
Addendum, I think we should try doing... something odd. See "NON-ALCHEMY" below.
SHUNTS:
[X] Boombox (With Bass, Trebel, and Volume controls)
(Could give us some fun dials to play with)
[X] Television
(Might let us see what we're crafting before we craft)
[X] Holepunch
(No clue what this might do, but we use a punchcard system, so it could be handy...)
[X] Tanning Rack
(We're a hunter in need of better costume stuff. Maybe this'll give us weird alchemy leather to play with?)
[X] Tinted Lenses
(Might let us "Filter Out" Grist types, altering the result, but helping us get around grist we don't have)
[X] USB Cable
(Might give us the power to hook up our computer to things)
[X] A shitty picture of a Fruit Gusher with the words "GRIST PLEAS (Utterly Shameless?!)" spraypainted on the front.
(Might give us a way to create shitty JPEG versions of Grists)
ALCHEMY:
[X] TAKE A NAP YOU BUBBLY BITCH || PEPPER SPRAY
[X] TAKE A NAP YOU BUBBLY BITCH && PEPPER SPRAY
(A potentially stronger option, at the cost of more limited supply.)
NON-ALCHEMY IDEA: (GASP!)
[X] Create and dismantle a "Take a Nap You Bubbly Bitch", to see if it still works when you disassemble and reassemble it. If it does, try manually, non-alchemically combining it with something like an Air Compressor and Larger Bubble Fluid Supply. Use Copious Google Searches of DIY plastic craft and use extreme caution during testing.
One thing we should really consider is the possibility of taking brief little jaunts away from the alchemy system to just revel in what we might be able to do if we mess with actual crafts. Like, for instance, duct taping and plastic-welding an air compressor and jug of bubble fluid to our tranquilizer gun to amp its power.
