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.

The term 'aliens' gets an odd look from Garner. That wasn't quiet right, but he's pretty sure he's missing context to be able to clarify. He supposes, ion the grand scheme of things, it didn't matter overly much. Everyone native here was human, so he'd been told.

"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."

"We only have our perspectives and knowledge in the moment. That is why so many strive for as much knowledge as possible." And often times to the detriment of others, in Garner's experience, at least.

"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."

Garner listens, some part of him just a touch on edge with what Senku was saying. He knew that press for knowledge, to have answers in hand, but his was at least partly unnatural. He was a curious sort, but the urgency to learn and know were the whispers that would run through his mind in the moments of quiet, placed there by an unkind hand.

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."
