All this science, I don't understand (Open)

Who: Senku Ishigami and everyone!
When: April
Where: Various: Apartment, ADI, the park...
Summary: An opportunity to meet the illustrious scientist in the context of one's choosing.
Warnings: Potential for altered perceptions, apocalypse. Will update if necessary.




I. A New Apartment

The whole experience thus far has been completely curious and unusual. Fortunately, Senku was not the type to put up a fuss, but rather someone who could roll and adapt to unusual situations, while trying to gather as much information as possible.

He’d been given the necessary tours and brought to this apartment and finally left to his own devices. Senku was wearing slacks, a button down with a tie, a labcoat and dress shoes but most notably, he had a tattered cape tied around his shoulders. He removed his shoes upon entry and walked further into the place. “Bigger than I would’ve thought...maybe not.” He murmured.

Senku wasn’t put off by a roommate situation inherently but as he wandered a stranger in this place there were multiple rooms. That was a bit novel. “Heh. Guess I don’t have to share a bed.”

II. Equipment/Information Technology

He’d been told he could work in two places if he wanted to, so that’s how Senku agreed to structure his day, if only because he didn’t want to find himself getting bored. He appreciated getting to work with his hands, and hoped at least they’d be looking for innovation.

However, heaven help the person who got Senku as the local IT tech who had to give tech support.

III. The Flowers Came Early

That was a lot of flowers.

Senku couldn’t say for sure how unusual they may be, but typically flowers didn’t appear like that in parks. Not without someone planning them to be that way and who would plant so many?

Did it really count as paranormal? Of course if this was the best this world could offer to paranormal, he would keep on believing that it likely didn’t exist, not without proper explanation.

“Something about these flowers seem kind of weird.” He commented a little bit. “Maybe we should check them out.”

Was this really going to be worth $100?

IV. CTRL + ALT + DEL

Even though he’d been accepted to the IT department, as a new arrival Senku has not had the opportunity to really distinguish himself.

He could not look any more bored if he tried. He was slouched in his seat like a teenager who was forced to attend a class they hated, which he definitely was not. There was nothing of interest about learning how to create a password. He knew that already. He knew how to crack into some serious hardware with government-level security and he’d accomplished this as a child.

“Ugh.” Senku groaned, he couldn’t help it. “This is such bullshit.”

Unfortunately for the trainer, if anything his education taught him, he was not going to get less disruptive.

V. Spring Festival

Out of force of habit, Senku made an appearance. Over the years he’d been compelled to show up to light events like this and now it was an ingrained habit. He didn’t hold the same position in this unusual world, but habits were hard to break.

He was far more interested in browsing the food stalls and getting a drink. He wouldn’t be playing any games, but checking out the crafters was also an option.

In the early evening, he found himself mildly distracted by an okay stage magician. He scoffed. “I’m almost sorry I called him a hack.” He declared out of nowhere, that might have been a bit strange.

Although he’d changed into more casual clothing thanks to the light shopping trip, cargo pants and t-shirt like he was some kind of college student instead of an esteemed scientist, he never removed the tattered cape. It likely made him look a bit...eccentric.

"I always liked working on engines," he said. He was under no illusions that whatever he worked on in 1936 held a candle to whatever they've got here. That much was as plain as the nose on his face. "You feel like, ah, what they got you on here is a good use 'a your time?" He was still trying to figure out his own place.

Aside from being good with his ear to the ground and having street smarts, it was hard to see how he'd fit in. His body language was opening up now, though. He didn't look nearly as uncomfortable. "It's all kinda weird, especially the way the others keep talking about things I ain't seen yet." His own experiences in Dogtown aside, he could still squint and call those mental episodes if he tried real hard.

"Tractors, combines, mostly farm equipment type stuff. I ain't never had a car or truck 'a my own." That sort of thing was far outside the realm of what he'd ever be able to afford. "Came in handy negotiating jobs a few times." Machine experience was often the marginal difference a ranch owner with a glut of potential hands would use to make the decision.

He nodded. It was like almost everybody else he'd met working for ADI so far. Lots of skills. Made him wonder if they ever made mistakes.

"I thought that, too. Kinda still feel that way about some of it." He was a believe it when he sees it sort through and through. "That one thing you mentioned. Was that back home, or here?"

Not enough farmland? That was hard to imagine. He decided he must be from some big city or something. It was the only way that made sense to him. "Yeah, I reckon it does for some things. Not so sure with how sophisticated everything here looks." He hadn't gone poking around under a hood yet, hadn't had a reason to. Maybe at some point he would.

His brow furrowed. The only way he understood that word was in the context of terrified. "I'm not sure I follow." He wasn't afraid to admit it. He'd felt nothing but ignorant since getting here. This wasn't so different.

"Yeah, I jes' might if I get a chance." It wouldn't hurt to get his hands greasy for a bit one day if he saw the opportunity. The worst that could happen is somebody'd have to step in and tell him how to do something.

As for the rest of it, his face pinched up and he just...blinked a few times. That one was going to take more processing. "That's one a' the weirder things I've heard here, I gotta admit," he said once he could collect himself enough for it.

"How'd you avoid it?"

"Mm. Sorry. You're getting into stuff I don't know nothin' about, enough that I hear the words and can't make sense of 'em." It wasn't the same as accusing him of talking nonsense. He seemed to know exactly what he was saying. But about a third of that entire story flew high over his head.

"Once you broke free, what'd you do? Them others, the children, did you find them?"

"That's the damnedest thing." He didn't have anything else he could say to that. It was the sort of thing so beyond anything he believed would ever be possible in his lifetime it felt as disconnected as he did from the moon.

"You sure have lived one helluva life. Almost sorry to think you got dragged here somehow. Sounds like you'll at least be plenty useful in them labs." He shook his head and reached up to rub just under his hat brim at the nape of his neck.
bindlestifflost: (Big smile)

"Well, here's hopin'," he said easily enough, flashing a quick grin. "Let's jes' hope it's not quite that exciting. I'm not sure all of us could stand it."

"Sure seems like it." He nodded, stepping closer to offer his hand to the one not occupied with food. "It was good meetin' you. I'm sure we're gonna see a lot a' each other around working at ADI. Maybe one day I'll slip in and visit the engineering lab, see what's what." And carefully not touch anything in the process.
