Lab? What's up with that lab?

[cryopathic.livejournal.com]

[MODHAT ON]
As we're winding down to the end of February and the event comes up, your characters will find the snow melting and things warming up pretty quickly. Nothing's growing, not yet, but the snow no longer constantly restores itself, and things like the fountains and ponds are no longer sheeted in ice. March is moving in, baby, and with that comes the March Hare. o9
[/MODHAT]

On a different topic entirely...

So if your character volunteered to help Vexen out with his little project here and here, this post is relevant to their interests! And even if you're not, it's still relevant. :|

The construction work on the lab started on February 7th, then mirrors happened and it all went to shit, and now work (and data collection ufufuuu) has resumed. It'll be in full working order by early March; though Vexen's filtered his own posts away from anyone he thinks would be likely to kick up a fuss about him starting up any kind of ~science~ again, at the rate secrets are kept in this mansion, it's only a matter of time. :|

Characters helping out with the construction and general movement of equipment can feel free to complain about splinters, Vexen's bossy attitude, the way Giselle sings in the penguins to help, etc. He'll be totally unsympathetic, but on the plus side, he's also nagging people to bring up medical supplies from the lab below (now converted to Yzma's creepy hangout) so the Mansion's unofficial 'clinic' is now in room 204-206 (like Vexen said, it spans three doors) rather than in the grody basement.

Anyway, as Vexen's said, the purpose of the laboratory is to study how the Mansion takes away memories, and whether it can be stopped, so he'll be looking around for subjects to interview, and data to crunch. o9 If your character's interested in helping out the data-side collection, a.k.a. for the long-ish term, working under crabby old man Vexen and all, comment to this post so I can take note of it. :| Note that

What exactly will result from this research? Maybe something useful. Maybe something completely useless! Floormates can feel free to come over and investigate what the hell Vexen's up to, but at the moment, there's not too much to see.

Another reason I'd like characters getting involved to reply to this post is so I can tell you what Vexen would have asked your character to get up to/create/look into! : )

I see London.

I see France.

I see Kytha's HTML.

You forgot to close a quote.

Data collection on Saix has already started, so.... When the secret gets out, you can obviously feel free to pester him all you want for Moar Info.

[cryopathic.livejournal.com]

o9 HE WILL DO THAT.

[chlorhexidine.livejournal.com]

I DO NOT DOUBT IT.

[azureflamegod.livejournal.com]

FLAY WANTS TO HEEEEELP o9 One day, Vexen will just walk in and Flay will be there. And he will never leave :|

Also Vexen has been demoted to secretary.

And Kite is tots involved .O.b

[cryopathic.livejournal.com]

OH GOD. Well, Vexen will be like 8| and having him distilling and decocting all kinds of weird shit, presumably for anything related to memory loss and the like. He'd also ask A LOT OF STUFF about what exactly the alchemical process shit does.

Vexen asks Kite to comb through data forever. :[ If he wants to hire an assistant, he can.

[mysolemnvow.livejournal.com]

Asking Flay about alchemy will only get Vexen some half-finished class notes covered with doodles. Trying to make him use it will probably get you lots of shiny red metal :U

AND THEN HE WILL FORGE VEXEN ARMOUR OF JUSTIIIICCCEEEE.

Kite will feel right at home with that data .D.b

[cryopathic.livejournal.com]

... vexen. in armor. red armor. WTF I JUST IMAGINED HIM AS IRON MAN. 8|

yeahhhhh vexne's basically like 'hey go look through that shit but try not to focus on shower vidyas plz :V'

[exploring-game.livejournal.com]

Coraline's popping in here and there, helping with packing and unpacking with a generally short attention span, so...if you can hold her down to do some work for more than twenty minutes, she's willing and helpful.

Oh yeah, she likes to come stand in doorways and swing any creaky door hinges back and forth in a petulant 'pay attention to me!' way while you're working, until you tell her to go find something else to do.


Yzma also is repainting that basement dahling, (less gruddy, moar FAAAAHHHHHHBULOUS shades of purple!!!) and constructing her own YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW BUT IT LOOKS VAGUELY ALCHEMICAL down there.

But she's been lending a hand and acting overly eager on the upstairs work, so feel free to shoo her off or be :| extremely irritated at her flitting about like a mad old bat with her own crazyass suggestions.

Arland...is kind of otherwise occupied and oblivious, but then he's always assumed Vexen's been busily working on something anyway. WATCH THE BROWS RAISE AND THEN FURROW STERNLY THOUGH, PEOPLE, IF HE FINDS OUT NAMINE'S INVOLVED.

[cryopathic.livejournal.com]

Vexen's like fsdkjaf;af CORALINE IS EVERY ORG MEMBER EVER. He probably sends her off to do something useful like look up a library book or material he needs; it keeps her out of his hair. If she's willing, he maaaay eventually ask her to be a test subject, but only if she agrees.

[madeinoblivion.livejournal.com]

lol, yeah, she'll be his eager go-fer.

She'll agree to be a test subject too, as long as it doesn't involve needles ;D

[himekofetish.livejournal.com]

Well... Patchy can surely do things, probably with helping Frosty Vexen science harder. That, and she can do technology-related things, too, as, even if she doesn't know this, she lives in a goddamn library and is a voracious reader, so she'll figure things out quickly.

Chikane, though, is not much use. And kind of fixated on the whole 'I'm dead and I miss Himeko' thing.

[nothintheverse.livejournal.com]

Kaylee did anything that she could use a wrench with.

[cryopathic.livejournal.com]

Awesome. \o/ Okay, well, Vexen probably wanted a larger computer to start with (Kite and her could prolly work on that, hah) but aside from that, he'd eventually ... want to work on some kind of device capable of replicating the mansion's memory-projection. AKA make events happen within a very small area. :V That prolly won't come for a while, but it will be interesting, I bet, for Kaylee to work on something that's both magic and science.

[dimmedstars.livejournal.com]

Giselle will ~*inspire*~ everyone with her singing.

[no_no_badtouch]

Ritsuka will contemplate throwing a book at her.

[hallmarkworld.livejournal.com]

But they still haven't made memories together, so he can't yet, if he wants to have a beautiful picnic on the beach!

[no_no_badtouch]

He likes her too much to. She reminds him of Yuiko.

[hallmarkworld.livejournal.com]

Giselle probably thinks he's "sooooo adorable oh my goodness WHAT A CUTE LITTLE BOOOOYYYYYY" :P

[no_no_badtouch]

God help him if he'd still have had his cat ears.

[hallmarkworld.livejournal.com]

NAUGHTY RITSUKA??

She'd be like ":o :o :o AAAADSUFHOIFSIOFHSIOF *tacklehugs*" then. :P

[no_no_badtouch]

No, no, naughty SOUBI! We can totally thank Neisi for Ritsuka's lack of ears.

And he's be like : >.- Get off.

[hallmarkworld.livejournal.com]

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU RITSUKA. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Too bad. She won't. :D

[no_no_badtouch]

Does it help that it was comfort for mistaken identity sex?

Maybe he'll wear his fakes from the ear event sometime.

[hallmarkworld.livejournal.com]

Giselle is appalled. For lips are the only things that touch~!

She would keysmash, except it would be like the equivalent in real life.

[no_no_badtouch]

Yuuko would like to note that Giselle has three sets there. Which ones is she allowing to be touched?

I'm so sad she missed the ears event.

[cryopathic.livejournal.com]

the first thing vexen will invent is noise-canceling earphones 8|

[hallmarkworld.livejournal.com]

...and then Giselle will accidentally break them

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

SORA WILL JOIN IN THE SINGING

OH GOD WILL HE EVER JOIN IN

[no_no_badtouch]

Haru - Has offered to be a test subject and offer anything she can. She's been trying to figure things out herself so she has a nice little book full of her own notes.

Ritsuka - He's all for helping too. He's got chronic memory loss (By chronic I mean he doesn't remember most of his childhood wot?!) though, so I'm not sure if he'll be helpful at all.

Sirius - Will help out in any way he can, but he won't be much use since he hasn't forgotten anything. But he's good for heavy labor. He'll also cranky back at Vexen.

Yuuko - Will watch and laugh at you all. She'll also make a jab or two in Vexen's general direction and probably hit around in her journal about dastardly going's on.

[cryopathic.livejournal.com]

Vexen will totally assimilate those notes o9 He'll also be glad for a test subject, ufufufufuuu though what he'll be testing isn't there yet.

o9 DAMN YOU YUUUKOOOO

Re:

[no_no_badtouch]

He's going to give her a penis isn't he? HE'S GOING TO GIVE HARUHI A PENIS!!!


Yuuko laughs in your general direction~ fufufufufuf~♥

Dean-Despite Vexen's "I am so S-M-A-R-T!!" demeanor Dean kinda likes him. He's answered all of Dean's randomass questions and is actually forthcoming with info without asking for much in return or being really obnoxious about it. Give him time. He'll learn to hate his snootiness soon enough.

Dean's good for hard labor and occassional simple electronic things. He knows how to read for EMF and how to construct one so that could be vaguely helpful. He also knows about cursed objects and might be able to lend a few theories there.

Other than that he has a vacillating moral compass so he might be willing to conduct experiments others find questionable in the name of getting out of the mansion.

Besides that he's good for manual labor and smart ass remarks. And occassionally messing things up by bumping into them. Subtle? Not his forte.

[viva-la-impala.livejournal.com]

I should not be allowed to post anything early in the morning....

[cryopathic.livejournal.com]

LOLLLL he's only really snooty when someone questions his SMRTNESS or questions him, so that should be fine. :V He'd ask Dean a lot of questions about how the whole cursed objects things work-- he's trying to replicate the mansion on a smaller scale, or parts of how it works, to get a better understanding of it which means everything gets chaotic, of course. of course.

[bouncyhair.livejournal.com]

ghdksfhgk so i've been failget with activity TO THE MAX but sora has been helping! ...more than just singing i promise! uh, he's SORT OF lazy with this kind of thing, but he'll do his best if just to be ~*~super spy~*~ to make sure vexen doesn't do anything too sneaky 8|
