[Behold, a very typical 'nerd' voice. Canonically mistaken for a fake nerd voice, because it is so nerdy.]

For those of you who are capable of following the scientific theory, I hope you engaged thoughtfully in the observation step when you arrived. For those of you who cannot or will not, may Feynman have mercy on your particles.

My query: when you arrived here, where was it? With whom? In what physical state? I need data. No matter how mundane or unremarkable your experiences or their retelling may be, I must hear them. Scientific advancement demands it.



As an aside, how does an echo 'hear' something? Please explain.

It's- no. [oh my god you unusually handsome high school dropout] Haven't you ever heard people say stuff like, "may God have mercy on your soul?" The scientists of eld are my gods. I don't believe in a magic man in the sky. [he is hard pressed to believe in his own magic ancestor family ninja arts ok]

[haircaring]

[ Steve's brain superpower is asking dumb questions and not being deterred from asking them, because in his heart he wants to Understand Thing. Usually a very specific thing that isn't related to the point. ]

Him being the Jesus of particle models totally still counts as being a scientist you dig.

[semilethal]

What are you trying to say, you Garnier Fructis model?

[haircaring]

I'm saying if I put a right option out there you can just say so, whiz kid. Save some time for your survey.

[semilethal]

Right option for what? A survey isn't a quiz. I need a wide variety of data, not one specific response.

[haircaring]

You weren't the quiz, I was the quiz. I was like, "did he invent the theory or is he a science guy you dig." And he was the second one. There was just, there was a lot of philosophy in there.

[ Did it still count as answering one or the other? Sure. Kind of a long road to get there in Steve's non humble opinion. He's used to a more 'let's take a shortcut past that because realistically you'll never get it' lifestyle. ]

What's this data supposed to help you do? Like I'll answer, but not if it's for creepy experiment shit.

[semilethal]

[good god. this guy is almost as annoying as leo. HOW DO YOU INTERACT WITH A FOOL.]

Exactly what kind of creepy experiments do you think I'll be able to conduct if I just know where your dusty backside first hit the ground?

[haircaring]

[ Would Henderson love this fellow nerd teen or would the similarities be too great to overcome. Steve has to wonder.

Paaaause. ]

Dusty?

[semilethal]

I was going to use 'musty' but I prefer hard consonants. More aggressive.

[haircaring]

More flies with honey than with vinegar, dude. That's life advice.

[ Except for Steve who would probably die for him already. But Steve's just like that. ]

But yeah, I showed up in the middle of headquarters or whatever. I'll get back to you on the exact spot. I was way more worried about remembering the way back through the basement stuff.

[semilethal]

Why would I want flies to begin with. Terrible saying.

[haircaring]

[ 'iunno' noise. ]

Maybe you don't like flyswatters.

Pet frog? Whatever.

[semilethal]

It doesn't matter, because those who actually have faith in the scientific process have responded, which is enough to get me started. I didn't need every single soul here to sound off, I just need a springboard.

[haircaring]

What's the scientific endgame even look like for this?

[semilethal]

We go back home, of course.

[haircaring]

[ Wordless "fair enough" kinda noise. ]

Okay.

I feel like vinegar aside, wouldn't hurt to put the goalpost in the pitch next time. If you want quantity.

[ Not gonna mention manners because Donnie is a little shit. The natural state of any teen or tween aged person. It's kinda funny people are demanding pleases rn. ]

[semilethal]

Why? Half the time I explain my process I'm told to shut up. Now it's because I haven't offered enough detail?

[haircaring]

What am I, a psychic? I don't know what people tell you about your process, man. Don't shut up. Take twice as long. Whatever.

I just think non-scientists are more into results than research. Like, I don't know how electricity works, and I do care about having lights on. If I don't get the whole nerd spiel that leads up to that, that's my problem.

[semilethal]

[semilethal]

...that is surprisingly astute. I didn't think of it like that.


Very well. Next time I'll...modify my approach.

[haircaring]

[ 'Surprisingly astute.' Scoff. Little shits are little shits regardless of species and now Steve has all the proof he needs. ]

Yeah, man, get more takers that way.

Once I find whatever room I showed up in, I'll let you know. [ He was freaked out and threatened people with a desk lamp, so either he'll recognize the terrain or someone will be like "hey you're still not allowed in here because of that time you threatened us with a desk lamp." ]

[semilethal]

[As if Steve does not subsist on the reluctant praise of shitty little genius teenagers] Great. ...thank you.
