Creation 11

[Cynric's out and about on the town as usual! Today you'll find him in a few places, we're you're free to harass/gawk at/possibly talk to?:

1!) Squinting at various store fronts in downtown Mayfield, frowning and wrinkling his nose in frustration. This town has a distinct lack of tea trays. What a bother.

2!) At the grocery store! His basket has things in it like tea, sugar, cream, bread, cheese, some meats... and candy. And cookies. Oh, those apples look good! And how about some this breakfast cereal? He'll probably ask your advice on what would be better for a party: black or red licorice? Or maybe you'll spot the shorty trying to reach a taller shelf, knocking over everything in creation in the process.

3!) In your garage. Yep, yours. He's rooting through your stuff, looking for tea trays mostly, but he gets distracted by pretty much anything. Especially mechanical bits, large and small. Or anything else fin that might catch his eye. He sees nothing wrong with taking anything - after all, is it really YOUR stuff, Mayfield? It was here when you got here, right? Unless whatever he's taking is regain-related. Oops.

4!) Practicing his singing in his backyard, with his dodo for an audience. After all, he's made friends with some of music's finest, and he wants to impress. The scary part? The boy is actually good. REALLY good. He's got a lovely tenor voice. After all, he's had several hundred years to get it right. You'll hear him doing scales and singing snippets from his favorite opera, Don Giovanni.]

[Of course he has! And found her to be a lovely lady. So when he hears you, he turns to you and smiles.]

Ah! Miss GLaDOS! Mind if I borrow this? [He hefts up a large wrench.]

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh yes. Him. Someone she tries to be "nice" to. Her voice is now less threatening.]

It would have been easier to ask before breaking into someones home. Or at least more polite.

Why do you want that?



[identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't want to bother anyone! Most people don't seem to lock their garages anyway.

[He looks at the wrench again.]

I don't know. Yet. But I'm sure it'll come in handy for something!

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'd rather you wouldn't. They won't let me buy tools here so I had to get my husband to get me some while he was droned.

It's a hassle I'd really rather not go through again.

[identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, they won't let me either! They keep telling me to send my father. I guess that would be Zevran. I wonder if he would?

[He unceremoniously drops the wrench, and continues to poke around in your stuff.]

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Is watching you carefully.]

Apparently only adult males can buy tools here. It seems to be a rather silly rule.

[identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
That IS a silly rule. But then again, this town has a lot of those.

[Rummage rummage... and he finds a little wind-up airplane toy. He looks delighted.] Oh! What about this? Do you need this?

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I believe it does.

Then again humans everywhere have a lot of silly rules.

[Like do not kill us.]

That?

[Tilts her head to look at it.]

What is it?

[identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
It's an airplane! I've seen them on television. Well, the real ones, this is obviously a toy. But! What it REALLY is, besides charming, is something containing valuable parts.

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
I know what an airplane is.

[But is looking at it.]

Humans come up with such strange things.

....Fine you can take that.

[identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Looking it over] I'd never seen one till I got here. Great, thank you very much! I'll return the favor sometime. [He tosses the plane into a nearby bucket of other collected parts and such.]

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods, now with a smile.]

Of course.

Are you having much luck in your search?

[identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[He brings the metal bucket over to you. It's a bit on the heavy side. It's full of an assortment of tools, toys, spare parts.]

I have! This town is full of interesting things. I'm collecting for a friend of mine, but also myself.

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Really?

[Looking at the things in the bucket.]

What do they want them for?

[identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well, Miss Theta builds all sorts of contraptions. And Dist, he was building himself a new eye. I should ask him how that went!

I, however, plan to build a robot! [He looks so proud of himself.]

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 12:18 pm (UTC)(link)
A robot. What type of robot?

[identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
A small one probably. And friendly! And... helpful, of course. Still in the planning stages, you see. And it'll be hard to get it working since I'm still without any of my magic. But that hasn't kept me from starting work on it!

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you intend to create an AI then?

....

[Amused scoff.]

Magic isn't what you use to build robots. You use science.

[Magic is stupid.]

[identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
AI?

Well, my science skills are a bit lacking, so I'll use what I know! I suppose what I'll have is something closer to golems than a robot. But, one step at a time!

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh you poor stupid magic user]

An artifical intellegence.

I'll be very interested to see what you create.

...perhaps I should start building some things.

[Note to self, do not make turrets talk this time.]

[identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, that's right! You were telling me about that. But once I make something, I'll definitely show you!

Oh, yes, you should!

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. I am one.

A shame there aren't any good supplies here.

....I wonder if they will miss the tv.

[Thinking of her fake family. They didn't notice the toaster.]

[identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Precisely why I've been scavenging for parts. I suggest you do the same, you might find what you need then. If you need something specific, I can help you look for it!

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll remember that.

[Is looking thoughtful now and half to herself.]

....maybe I'll be able to build a turret defence for the house. That would be useful...
