Giggling over the mental image I had of Shiv's face at the idea of being able to fill out the forms with pictures... I doubt he'd quite believe he'd be allowed to get away with it. [OTOH, frame it as bet...] But who knows, Shiv seems to be more a visual or maybe tactile thinker than someone who thinks in words.. so maybe he'd be more expressive that way.
Thinking about the crème pastels makes my fingers itch, although I was never that good a chemist, much better at making stinks, bangs and goo... but something tells me this would be more like cooking than chemistry, more alchemy than science. Although a little science in there would go along way.
Hmm.. gotta think about that, it could work, and it sounds like something that might catch on, but with the scant resources I have, I have to think twice and three times before trying anything. Which is annoying, because I can almost see how the molecular structures needed would work together... It's a non-newtonian fluid, a set of pigment nano-beads like really fine sand in a polymer resin base, which slowly increases in viscosity as it 'cures' or polymerises, but they're not binding to themselves but to the pigment particles, ..like rubberbands mixed with velcro balls...
