WANTED: Assistant Alchemist (and General Cat-Herder)

The Seventh Atelier seeks a highly motivated (and slightly unhinged) individual to assist Professor Eldrin Nightshade in his tireless pursuit of alchemical enlightenment.

Responsibilities:

  • Assist in the preparation of experimental elixirs (may involve bubbling, glowing, or temporary sentience).

  • Maintain a semblance of order in a laboratory prone to spontaneous transmutations.

  • Decipher ancient texts (may be written in languages unknown to mortal man).

  • Source rare ingredients (may require travel to exotic locales and/or negotiation with questionable entities).

  • Manage the Professor's self-stirring teacup collection (delicate work; clumsiness not tolerated).

  • Occasional monster wrangling (mostly small, mischievous imps, but must be comfortable with the occasional errant golem).

  • Keep the Professor from accidentally turning himself into a newt (again).

Qualifications:

  • A high tolerance for strange smells and unexpected explosions.

  • Ability to follow instructions, even when said instructions involve phrases like "a pinch of stardust" and "shaken...not stirred."

  • Excellent problem-solving skills, particularly in situations involving escaped experiments and/or existential crises.

  • Must be able to distinguish between a rare herb and a particularly vibrant weed.

  • A love of tea is a plus (especially if you don't mind it self-stirring).

  • No fear of the unknown (or of things that go "plorp" in the night).

Benefits:

  • Opportunity to witness groundbreaking (and possibly universe-altering) alchemical discoveries.

  • A generous supply of experimental elixirs (effects may vary; side effects may include temporary levitation, enhanced storytelling abilities, and an inexplicable urge to wear purple).

  • The chance to work in a truly unique and intellectually stimulating environment.

  • Flexible hours (mostly; occasional late nights due to unexpected breakthroughs or magical emergencies).

  • All the tea you can drink.

To Apply:

Please submit a resume, a cover letter explaining why you're the right kind of eccentric for this position, and a sample of your best (and safest) alchemical creation (if applicable). Be prepared for a… unique interview.
