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.

He shifted a bit. "The shift was that we were able to expand the population seemingly incredibly quickly. Humanity had been petrified for thousands of years, but the expansion came from our ability to then break them free of that stasis they were in, so the benefit was having more people with expertise that the work could be shared and spread around the world. We have a very tight knit worldwide network at the moment. This type of cooperation is nothing like it was back in 2019, and will likely fall apart sometime in the future." He wasn't naive, just idealistic.

"Honey, milk, or sugar?" He asks and turns to fetch them, for himself if nothing else.
"Then it sounds like you've taken what precautions you could in a situation no one could have prepared for, nor had exactly written a manual for. That's admirable. It is also admirable that you are aware it will eventually fail. All civilization does, it's only a matter of how long it takes for something new to rebuild."
Because, while he also wasn't an optimist, he did believe in the tenacity and hope inherent in people.
"I'm sorry that you might or might not see further fruits of your labor."
no subject
"I've done what I could, and while I still hold a fairly high position in my kingdom, despite having abdicated leadership, I'm unfortunately a liason on these kinds of things. At the moment every country is in a state of rebuilding, meaning that cooperation is likely, but as soon as they start to stake out borders, conflict will likely be inevitable." Senku snorted lightly.
"Hell, I had to deal with that when humanity was reduced to just a couple hundred people. It's in people's nature to set up hierarchies and communities as they see fit and various people hold just as many differing opinions as to how to go about doing that. Everyone I work with is a pacifist as I am, so we'll do what we can but some things are just outside our control."
He hummed and then smirked. "I don't see it that way. I have every intention on saving this world like I did mine and returning back where I came from."
no subject
"'Humanity' is still an odd term to me. There are far more than just humans where I come from, but I'm not from Earth, either. Yet, even still, the nature of people is to want structure and lines to work within to make some part of the world make sense. Nature is chaos and people are chaotic, but most still want something familiar to rely on like boundaries or borders so they know how to then press on them. At least, in my experience. I imagine your people will push and break their boundaries and cause more chaos than they mean to, in time, but they will grow from that as well."
He doesn't push on the rest, however. If that was what the man believed, that they could get home even still, Garner had no interest in trying to talk him out of his hope. For all intents and purposes, he hoped Senku was right as well.
no subject
Senku gave his tea as sip. "People are always looking for structure, it's both something comforting and something you can use against them. I'm not worried about the people I'm working with personally, but people as whole definitely would. There's thousands of years of history that suggests that. The world ending isn't enough to change human nature."
He wouldn't be averse to being pushed. Senku just didn't like outside forces trying to tell him what to do with his life.
no subject
"That is fascinating to hear as well. 'Thousands of years.' You are not the only one here to imply a long record of your world's history. There is only reliable measurement of the last eight-hundred years of my world. Prior to that another seven-hundred of implication and fractured record and nothing more, though our world is certainly older. The range of experience and base knowledge represented in ADI is almost worth it's own study."
no subject
"My planet is billions of years old, it's just the records of humans is much shorter than that, it was inhospitable to life for a good chunk of that time. Time is very fleeting that way." Senku mused.
"Our lives in exchange are small, short and universally insignificant when you look at the grand scale that is..." Senku smiled a little bit. "And yet, in the moment it can seem vitally important. Isn't that interesting?"
no subject
"No, I believe there is still some written documentation from before, but very little. Our gods fought with one another and destroyed nearly all civilization in the process. Our written history suffered for it. While we know that happened, there is no record of names or cities or even whole races lost."
He shrugs a bit and takes a sip of his tea. "As you said, we are insignificant in the grand scheme of things. When I die, I will be forgotten, as will most others with me. That is simply the way of things."
no subject
"Hmm. It's true, if we didn't have people who still remembered...but most of our historical artifacts are also lost." Senku admitted. "So if those that know and remember don't write it down now, it too could be completely lost." He considered that a moment.
"That perspective is interesting. In the moment I'm an incredibly important, well-known person. Everyone knows my name. I will die someday, and it's on track to being significant...my invention will certainly rate a footnote or two in history books." Senku mused. "But would I be remembered far into the future? Hard to say. I honestly don't care about any of that." He wasn't looking to leave a legacy beyond the knowledge he could gain and share. Senku had a rare glimpse at worldwide fame as a perspective, but he considered it to be insignificant.
no subject
He didn't think Senku was like the Remnants at all, he trusted he might sense that at least, but any thirst for knowledge like that put a bit more caution in him.
It was easier to focus on the rest, to let his wry smile form. "I am afraid that whether you care or not, it will not be your choice. We can influence how we are remembered, but the actual remembering will not be up to us. I hope your good deeds and contributions carry on a long while, that your name is remembered as it ought to be, but your only duty is to those around you while you live. At least...in my humble experience."
