[It had been a long time since he had relied on his alchemy to this level. While he knew that Symbology still worked to a certain degree, he also knew that having anyone rely on it in this time period would not be helpful without a Symbologist around to regularly maintain the created symbols. So when it became clear that they should be supporting the small village's growth, he found himself once again volunteering his time at the smithy.
Iron and scrap iron had been around in large quantities back in their time, allowing the smithy workers to work on their projects without worrying about resources. That wasn't quite the case in this time period. So, he volunteers in transmutating ruined metal back to a more workable base, though it's a much slower process than he's used to because of the power cap.
Creating crude light bulbs out of glass jars and transmutated wiring is also a project of his, which sends him to the supply center looking for glass containers.
When he's not working on transmutation, he takes notes on the Poké balls he brought, sketching and writing while eating lunch. While he may not be able to do much work on actually building a functioning one, studying them is at least a change of pace. They seemed to work the same, at least.
Most days, he eats his lunch out in the plaza to get away from the sounds and smells produced in the smithy. When the weather is bad, he takes shelter in the smithy's storefront, which is more a repository for tools and other things that require metalwork.
All the while, he wears a pair of black shades on his head, which aren't exactly necessary in this season. But stuff like that had never stopped Precis from wearing them everywhere, either.]

[His ears tilt in the direction of Ven's voice, and he greets him without looking up. He makes a motion with his pencil, twirling it around to erase a stray line on the drawing. On closer inspection, it looks like an intricate netting embedded in a round object.]
Just trying to get an idea on how this thing works. A Poké ball.
no subject
[He squints, eying the drawing carefully. Diagrams are interesting to look at, even if they can get kinda complicated and all.]
I've always wondered how they could fit such big monsters inside. I mean, if it was magic, that'd be one thing, but technology... That puts the stuff in Deep Space to shame!
no subject
I was asked by one of the trainers to basically figure out how to reverse-engineer one in case they need a Poké ball repaired -- or if they need a new one entirely, for some reason. Not that I think we're going to have wild Pokémon around or something.
no subject
[Oh, his eyes are practically sparkling. There's a huuuge grin on his face.]
Then we could have a whole bunch of new trainers! ...But I guess that'd require even more balls...
no subject
[But there was always a downside...]
It'd be a shame for the Pokemon that were left behind when they disappeared back to their worlds, though.
no subject
Well, what if we found a way to change that? Maybe while we're in the past, we can figure out a way to let people take stuff with 'em! Or maybe visit each other's worlds whenever we want.
no subject
[He shakes his head faintly.]
We don't even know how far in the past we've gone, but I bet things will be pretty different if the cultists never ... form their cult.
no subject
[He folds his arms and shuts his eyes. Man, where to even start...?]
But if we can change time here, I wonder what that means for all of us who come from different timelines. What if the Malnosso found a way to keep people from forgetting?
no subject
What do you mean? You mean, keep people from forgetting Luceti when they leave?
no subject
[Ven knows he would. After all, he'd hate to forget all the friends he's made!]
