[Zackariah will give players materials until they roll a success, but the player is helping him, so he keeps the crafted potion(s).] [Zackariah is kind hearted, and will not berate the player should they fail, merely try to talk them through to process and help them]

"Sorry!" 

The Town of Beginnings was as busy as ever. Morningstar had bumped into approximately six strangers and there was no telling when he'd finally stop. In a hurry, he weaved through the crowd, trying to direct himself towards Zackariah's shop.

To put it short, he was lost. The man did not spend too much time there (the second and third floors were quieter and appealed more to him) and he found it near impossible to navigate. Thousands of both low and high level players grouped up in one place; he was starting to wonder what he had done to be put in this situation. As he moved further down the street, he noticed a small alleyway that look as if it were completely empty. Swiftly, he ducked into it.

Morningstar took a deep breath. The alley, despite seeming a little sketchy, was nicer than the heavily occupied streets. He decided to sit for a moment or two and settle down. Closing his eyes, he listened to the noises of the city. Through the loud voices, he could hear the pounding on an anvil; most likely a nearby blacksmith's shop. He noticed the screech of a cat. "Somebody's familiar," the man guessed, running his hand through his light, brown hair.

Lifting himself back to his feet, he sighed. He eyed is surroundings for a better way to get to the shop, but saw nothing. It was the swarm of players or nothing. With that, he rushed back into the "storm" and headed towards his destination.

An old NPC woman approached the flowerpots on her settlement's balcony with a watering can on hand. She tipped the can over her flowers and watched the citizens of Aincrad - both players and NPCs - strolling about the streets below. Ah, this was the nice peaceful life of retirement any old NPC woman would dream of⁠—

The NPC looked up to see a small purple-haired girl happily seated at the edge of her roof. "Why, I⁠..." The woman picked up her duster and waved it at the player rather uselessly. "Young lady, I've told you many times to keep off my property! Leave now or I'm⁠—"

"⁠—Calling the guards," Arabelle finished with a sigh. She didn't move though. She remained seated on the roof with a smug smile as the NPC's irritation grew and it cycled to more aggressive dialogue. And when it set the watering can down and stomped back inside, she took that as her cue to leave.

With a running start, she hopped onto the next building's roof. And the next. And the next. Until she was far enough from the aggravated NPC's settlement. She settled down and propped her elbows on her legs. Arabelle turned her ashen gaze to the streets beneath her.

People watching.

Eventually, Morningstar discovered a shop that matched the description of Zackariah's. He took a deep breath, relieved to know that he hadn't gotten completely lost. The building looked exactly as you might expect and old alchemist to work in; it was quaint, small, and made him feel quite comfortable. It was made with combinations of some sort of stone as well as wood. He noticed a sign that confirmed the shop was owned by Zackariah.

Morningstar sped up his pace, excited to finally get the quest started. Suddenly, he was met with what he believed was a brick wall. The brunette stumbled backwards, making a weird "oof" sound and falling to the ground. Then, he glanced up.

It wasn't a brick wall—it was a man. He would not describe the stranger as "massive" or anything, but he was well built. He out-sized Morningstar; that, he was certain of. When they met each other's eyes, Morningstar noticed that the man looked a lot more angry than he should have. Standing up, he began to speak.

"Hey, sorry friend. I guess I was distracted," he told the man, scanning his appearance once more. Somehow, he hadn't noticed the odd looking mohawk sitting on the angry man's head. Rather than trying to communicate back, Mohawk decided to throw a punch. It hit Morningstar square in the chest, knocking him to the ground. The other players around them moved to the sides of the cramped street, but didn't step in to help (likely because he was in no real danger while they were in the safezone).

For a moment, he was stunned. Morningstar had not expected the attack and Mohawk was a tough dude.

"Come on man," he said, picking himself back up from the ground, "it was an accident!"

The crowd around the two was growing in numbers and he was a tiny bit uncomfortable. The only fist fights he'd ever been in had been fake and done for entertainment. This wasn't entertaining, for him at least. Without a word, Mohawk lifted his fists again, as if he was readying himself to strike again. Morningstar, letting out a sigh, followed in his lead.

The man really wanted to fight in the middle of the city.
