Science was a topic that thoroughly intrigued Arvid. While he wouldn't consider himself a scientist – he didn't have enough experience for such a title – he did like figuring out how the world around him worked. This extended to wondering about creatures he had never seen before, or even just wondering how certain plants reacted with outside stimuli. However, he'd never really had a chance to stretch his metaphorical scientific muscles. That is, until now. He had been wandering around the still somewhat wrecked mountain town, checking inside various buildings – the ones he could actually get inside, anyways – for anything salvageable. Most of the homes were unimpressive, either still filled with mud and debris, or empty of anything worthwhile. There was something of interest in one of the houses, though – a chemistry set, meant for children. It was hardly the most advanced thing in the world, but Arvid was immediately fascinated by it, gripping it in his jaws and heading out to find a place to work.
Eventually, the canine settled down in a dry section of the camp, setting out the various supplies that he would need for one of the experiments. As he did so, he muttered softly to himself, "Sodium alginate, calcium chloride, some juice, and a syringe..." He had a glass bowl sitting in front of him, which he soon filled with juice, and then added a bit of sodium alginate into it. Glancing back at the instructions, a frown curled on Arvid's muzzle as he saw that he needed to wait for an entire hour before he could continue on. With a soft groan, the male flopped down onto his belly, closing his eyes and allowing himself to doze off for the moment. He figured it wouldn't be all that big of a deal to leave the bowl in front of him. If anyone tried to drink the juice and sodium combination... well, they'd be responsible for whatever happened, he supposed. He'd also be pretty pissed at them, since he wanted his experiment to actually work.
Once the hour had passed, Arvid awakened from his slumber, stretching out and glancing back at the bowl, now devoid of bubbles. With the waiting done... well, he needed a couple more supplies. He left to grab another bowl and a tray, having to spend quite a bit of time digging around the various houses for them. Perhaps someone would be irritated with him for just grabbing things from the empty homes, but if they approached him about it, he probably wouldn't care all that much. He was too focused, pouring water and the calcium chloride into the tray. He then filled the syringe with the juice and sodium combination, about to inject it into the tray. He paused, however, glancing around briefly. Perhaps the experiment would be a bit more fun if he got others involved? With a brief sigh, Arvid soon called out to those wandering around camp, "Hey, does anybody want to see a little experiment that I'm doing? It's nothing all too impressive, but... it's interesting. Plus we'll get something to snack on once it's all done." He was right, although he was fairly sure a few people wouldn't be interested in little fruit snacks.
