KAOS-U / Cookies!

[techie_prowess]

The morning dawned bright and clear, a glorious day, as yet unmarred by explosions, mangled corpses, or science gone wrong. Not that Pierce noticed the daylight. He'd been up all night and was now sitting in the kitchen. There was a webwork of wires crawling along his face and head, contact pads looking like little feet all across his skin while he contemplated...a plate of cookies.

These were ideal cookies. Cookies that defined every kids' dream of chocolate chip; large, soft, tempting. The smell alone would make a weaker man tremble at the knee!

And he hadn't touched them yet because he wanted to make sure all the senses were registering properly and that anticipation readings could be taken as well. Was it any wonder he was a little zoned out?

"True." Dilan said, frowning, "I think that convincing people they're fungi is on the no list."

[techie_prowess]

"Mine or yours?" This could be an important question! "And I'm pretty sure one of the cults this semester is heading that route anyway...just without our influence!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Mine. I don't keep track of yours." Dilan said, shaking his head, "Huh. We should keep an eye on them. Fungi-people would be awkward."

[techie_prowess]

"Awkward? Of all the adjectives you pick awkward? Why? I just kind of assume they'll run into an opposing 'fungus on pizza' cult and all the problems will be solved!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Um. Because I never know what to use to keep them back without killing them?"

[techie_prowess]

"Glue guns." It made perfect sense to him! "In fact high threshold polymer dispersal would probably hold most things in an emergency situation without killing them!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Huh." Dilan thought about that, "Yeah...we should work on those."

[techie_prowess]

"Yep. Are we expecting an invasion?" Knowing was good? "I can totally work on prototype stuff when the sensory readings are collating!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"I dunno. Why shouldn't we work on those?" Dilan asked.

[techie_prowess]

"We should! It'll be awesome! I just like to know if there's pressing reasons for weapons so I know if it's a rush job!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Nah. The girls'd probably like them too!"

[techie_prowess]

"Okaaaaay, so we're making an arsenal of glue guns. Cool." That let them experiment with formats! "Want to make the glue compound numbing too?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Yeah, I think so. Numb people are not thinking people."

[techie_prowess]

"Or struggling enough to possibly hurt themselves people." Since they were aiming for humane and all. "Bet we could market to SWAT or something."

[sliceitwithwind]

"Eh." Dilan didn't tend to think past this would be cool, really.

[techie_prowess]

"Eh yourself! It spreads an ethical restraint solution to the world and funds the next project!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Okay, Pierce." Dilan said aimiably.

[techie_prowess]

"You have no appreciation for funding!" Pierce snorted. Not that the man had to given who he dated but still it was fun to tease! "Still, I'll poke the housing after I sleep. You're on adhesive and numbing!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Okay." Dilan said, smiling beautifically, "After I get back from the vet."

[techie_prowess]

"Which means you'll get the jump on me," with the sleeping thing. "But that's alright. I need an idea of what consistency your compound will have anyway!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Yes." Dilan agreed, smiling sweetly, "It will be fun...I could probably start with...hmmm..." Sorry, Pierce, Dilan is out for the moment.

[techie_prowess]

"Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun! And then Braig can gun down people on the quad in testing!" Pierce was just going to steer the man into an out of the way corner of the kitchen so he could clean up his lunch dishes properly without bumping into him!

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan went where he was pushed without fighting, he was too deep in thought to do more than grunt a little bit.

[techie_prowess]

Yep. Uh-huh. Maybe the brainstorming had been a mistake before the vet thing? "Dilan? Yo, earth to scientist brain? What time is the appointment? I'll stay awake if you're spacing."

[sliceitwithwind]

"Three." Dilan said, "Set an alarm for me?"
