--subject seems to have no unique properties...[The video comes into focus mid-way through, featuring Zelda hunched over a desk, furiously taking notes.
She sighs after a moment, moving to pick up something from the side of her desk—a frog.]
I was really hoping there would be something special...those back home would improve speed, performance, attack...and yet, nothing. I don’t know how I’ll manage to make any useful elixir without specialized ingredients.
[She frowns, poking her amphibian specimen and laughing slightly as the frog croaked in response. She finally turns her attention to the camera.]
I don’t suppose any of you know of any animals or plants here that have special properties? Or where one might find some materials to experiment with? I would greatly appreciate any leads you might be able to provide.

It depends by what your meaning of "special properties" are. Can you be more specific? Maybe someone may be able to help if we knew more about it.
[She's never heard of the word "elixir" before except in RPGs, but she won't make mention of that.]

Where I am from the wildlife--plants and animals alike--could be used in potions and elixirs. Depending on the properties an animal possessed the end result would be different. For example, a native species known as the hot-footed frog could be used to make a substance that would increase the user's speed momentarily.
Ah...was that enough information? I really could go on if need be.

[She listens happily to the explanation, finding it fascinating to learn about special potions that can help increase certain aspects than simply being used to treat illnesses.]
Yeah, maybe. What I understood was -- it's like a kind of medicine except it's based more on helping someone becoming more skilled than simply healing them?
[It sounds a little like the pills Yuu once told her.]
How long does it take for it to take effect? Is there a limit on the amount you can ingest?
[Since her rain partner's could potentially kill him if he had too many in short amount of time.]
no subject
[She smiles brightly. She loves sharing her knowledge.]
Most effects are immediate, though there is a limit to how long an effect can last--the longest period I've seen was roughly half an hour. As far as I know there have been no adverse effects from ingesting multiple elixirs of the same type, but if they are different you have a higher chance of canceling out the boosts you've gained.

[There's a thoughtful pause and Aerith shakes her head, laughing.]
Okay, maybe I don't miss that stuff very much. But it's still hard to get used to. You're gonna need imPorts to supply you with things from their world if you want something to experiment on.
video
[She hums thoughtfully before commenting further.]
As helpful as experimenting on such objects would be...I think items from our worlds would be too precious to ask for. I'll simply need to keep searching for more native species here.

That might depend on what you intend to do with them.

I have a lead, Princess, if I may:
Do not ingest.

I've never shied away from eating dubious food but swallowing creatures whole is still not something I want.
Also...I feel like the people of this kingdom might not want us eating all of their frogs and lizards.
no subject
Well...then we make smaller samples! That's easy enough to accomplish.
And we wouldn't merely use frogs and lizards...and hardly enough to decimate populations at that...

Or what of those that have abilities that present a particular weakness?
[A thoughtful pause.]
Actually, having said that, I may be able to see why our...hosts may wish to limit access to such materials.

[ he's completely missed the point, but also, ew. ]

Not just frogs! We've incorporated everything from insects to native plant species. It's quite fascinating how they can enhance specific properties of an elixir...or change it's make up completely. It takes a certain level of skill to make a balanced mixture.
Re: video
[ It's still pretty grody. ]
But it sounds to me like you're just talking about steroids.

[Nice going, Terry. You flustered the princess.]
I believe dogs are a bit different from frogs. Much more complex as well.
[A pause.]
Did you say it could fly?
no subject
[The huge grin betrays the fact he's just teasing her.]
And yes, Ace can fly.
