not that anyone noticed but raoul light's missing, as in totally missing, as in, after i hadn't heard from him in a while i went so far as to check up on his usual piano playing haunts and he's not been seen in a long while
given that he was an ex-cop with some pretty obvious mutations who was already on a hit-list for being a socialist i
yeah
i feel like we need a list of the dead
and for every name on it, we'll torture one of theirs. slowly. and leave them alive, to twist in the wind. bastards.
other news: not dead. giant thing at rachel's house -- anyone get samples of the pink stuff, and have you started doing some good old fashioned science yet?

The stuff I remember is called Energon. After that incident at the party, I remembered this:
[There's two files -- one is in Cybertronian, in Decepticon script; the other is in English. Both describe a formula for making Energon, and some instructions on how to safely contain the stuff]
Does that match up with what you know? It seems kind of unstable. ... I included the file in Cybertronian because it's more elegant in that language, I can explain it to you though? It takes some getting used to but it's an amazingly useful notation for writing out engineering formulas in.
I'm free pretty much all the time, though both my living spaces are small and I'll need a ride if we're going anywhere. Let's do some horribly ill-advised science.

I remembered how to make Energon. Working with a colleague on it, but figured you'd be interested. It's a method of converting energy from just about anything into a semi-stable liquid or solid form.
[same attachment]
And I mean literally any form of energy. I mean, some things are more efficient than others, as you can see converting chemical energy from food doesn't work nearly as well as it should, which is probably why things aren't working.
Also, here's the relative power draws, as near as I can estimate, of just keeping my limbs moving vs the guns vs full on flight. Interestingly, while I thought at first the engines in my legs were jet engines, they're actually not; they can work in a vacuum. It's some sort of electromagnetic pulse system, I think, I'm not sure how to describe it in English as I remember it in some crazy alien language. In any case, the power draw is still lower than a jet engine, but way higher than my guns.

[[he heads to the living room, unshouldering and then unzipping his backpack to extract the Duel Disc. With what's now become a practiced motion, he snaps it onto his arm, raising it up as it activates.
Pulling his deck from his bag, he lets the bag fall to the floor behind him, snapping the deck in the holder.]]
Ready? [[He's grinning now, as he turns to face Chris, striking a dramatic pose, hand hovering over his deck just a moment before he pulls a card, barely glancing at it to make sure it was a monster before slapping it face up on the playing field.
There was a billowing of purple black energy before the creature materalized, hovering inches off the ground.]]

... and then pauses, her eyes going distant, like she just remembered something
and then she's back]
Wow that's not creepy at all. You don't have anything more pleasant?

... well. Sagan might do...
He sets the card down, the creature emerging with an "Eeeee!"]]
How's this one...? Most of them are pretty... [[trails off with a sheepish laugh]] Other me had similar tastes with that sort of thing, I guess!

That being said though, this stuff is remarkably realistic. Are they hard light or can you walk right through them? Oh god I can't believe I just said "Is it hard light" as though that were a real thing that could happen, but christ, some people are vampires.
YGO physics, how does it even
And it's kinda solid. It's weird. It's like... mmm.... there's resistance? Kinda like you're pushing up against water or something. You can go through it, but you notice it.
I think when it's actually in game mode, these things can really pack a punch, from what little I remember of it, but since there's just the one....

I'm concerned just because like, if we could overlay it over our bug friend, or me, I'm wondering if we could make it feel like skin so that if someone bumps into us they don't feel... y'know.
I think we're going to have to open the thing up and figure out how it all works, how it's programmed... it at least looks like it's probably from a world similar to ours. Were there instructions with it?
no subject
Think you could figure how to make it work the way you want?

it's almost as if he has no idea what he's doing or something...teach me what you know and I'll see if I can find some course online or some thing like that to get up to it?

I can make like, cubes and spheres and other geometric shapes. We need a real artist.
[she looks thoughtful. If she had full use of her arms, she'd probably be rubbing her chin]
There is one small thing we can do, if someone at the university has access to it... there's full-body 3D scanning tech that people use to create action figures. For those of us that are roughly the same shape as our old selves, we could scan ourselves in and just... change the textures. We'd still need a texture artist, but tweaking an existing and pre-rigged model is easier than doing it from scratch...
Then of course we'd have to teach the machine to track body movements, but I can probably just reverse-engineer a Kinect for that...

[[Smaaaaaaaaall note of desperation there. LET HIM HELP. HE WANTS TO HELP.]]

[is uncle Elian an artist? She... wow fuck wtg knowing things about your DAMN FAMILY girl]
I uh
The only art I know of him doing is like
60s psychadelic stuff? Maybe I'm wrong though... he does quantum mechanics, mostly...
Look, calm your tits, and sometime put out a call for artists on the Network. Gotta be SOMEBODY who's a pro around here.
...so I just noticed the star tattoos... LOL
YEAH aren't they perfect? I didn't initially imagine her as having any but I'm like no, too great
... I mean, Elian might not be able to... but Dr. Ratchet might? He's in the engineering department.
Yeah :D She's a real good fit :D
[[a small hesitation]] Between you and Anthony... I really want this to work... [[he looks down, hands curling into loose fists of frustration.]] I haven't been able to help much with anything... everything I have so far... it only helps me, not anyone else. If this can actually help so you guys can still blend in as normal...
no subject
And I get it, man, but we also have to be realistic. Wouldn't want us walking around looking like something out of those shitty knockoff films trying to pretend to be Pixar, right?
