EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY!

Who: Everybody! Everybody!
What: It's a beach! There's fruit! Love in the air! Classy private rooms in the mountains!
When: From sunrise to midnight! (AND IT'S TODAY! FEBRUARY 18th!)
Where: Out on the beach, centered around the teleporter/tunnel exit area. But it feels like July out there! Ain't that just the shit?
Summary: Summary? Why does this need a summary. I said everything up there. And then I'm gonna say even more after this. Why do we need this field? Seriously, anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Rating: KEEP IT CLEAN, KIDS. Take your dirty smut to an appointments post!

Long Ago In A Distant Land, Akai, the fully functional fonbot, unleashed a fairly standard mod post. But a foolish player kept asking questions and come on, do you really need to know that much? Now everyone wants to play out their ships and get into fruit shenanigans and undo to evil that is AKAI.

((No, but seriously guys, look at the mod post, you know what to do. Everything you need is there. Mass log post, remember to tag your characters name here, and do your thing.))

OH YEAH! So like, assume there is stands (or you know, beach-appropriate huts) here and there that are stocked up on bathing suits (and curtains you can change behind), stands with beverages, and snacks. Nobody's really operating them, new stuff just gets Shifted there (BUT ONLY IF YOU'RE NOT WATCHING). The Malnosso are the most considerate bro-ginization ever.

I will make this work somehow. /manry face

[If it wasn't obvious there was a Shift before, this is the final nail in the coffin.

After all the reports of statistical anomalies - that is, the beach being unseasonably warm - float up to this scientist, he immediately capitalizes on the opportunity to inform the fellow residents of his household. It seems a shame not to let them, the ectotherms, enjoy one blissful day of possible functionality...

... And, well, he's curious. Distinctly remembering last year's Venusian willow, he takes his nanocomputer and a low-power (it's not even electron-powered!) microscope down to the beach.

... Yep. Guys, there is a scientist (who may or may not be accompanied by large turtles) on the beach. Sitting there. Dissecting paopu fruit and studying it right there on the beach like this is a completely normal thing to do.

... of course, once he's determined it's safe to eat (give him a few hours to be sufficiently tempted by the aroma?), he might consume some. But until then...

... Want to gawk? Join him in analyzing the properties of these fruits, or in any other unusual circumstances of the beach? Make other comments about what he's doing? Have at.]
zelda_hylia: Curious (Curious)

*doubting the manliness*

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-02-18 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zelda, having been transported to the beach suddenly, approaches the first person that she sees who seems to be investigating the situation.]

Have you discovered anything yet, sir?
semper_cogitans: (:|a)

... well, it IS Robert.

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-02-19 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Robert glances up at Zelda after a moment, a little surprised that a complete stranger is calling him out... but then again, he is the only person who actively seems to be analyzing anything.]

... Ah... n-not particularly, though... I a-am... certainly trying...
zelda_hylia: Demure (Demure)

Sorry bro, you're just too stuttery and moe to be manly~

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-02-19 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Noticing his surprise, she smiles sheepishly and extends a gloved hand.]

I am sorry, I must have startled you coming up to you so suddenly. My name is Zelda.
semper_cogitans: (:/)

;3; Good thing he's not trying to be manly...

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-02-19 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I am... Professor R-Robert Alexander Hastings...

[Yes, he has to say the whole thing. And with a cadence that suggests he repeats it in the same way, all the time...]

... Not many s-seem to be... interested in, er, s-studying the fruit here...
zelda_hylia: Of course! (Of course!)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-02-19 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Now that Zelda has a title, she will promptly latch onto it and never call him anything else ever. And a professor, nonetheless! Her smile widens.]

It's good to meet you, Professor. I noticed that as well, but since you already seemed to have some sort of study ongoing, I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.
semper_cogitans: (-w-)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-02-19 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Robert is actually entirely fine with this - professionalism is something he understands well, or at least better than the first-name-basis everybody tends to use here. Especially when it comes to strangers...]

Ah, w-well... it is not much of a s-study, especially since my... t-tools are severely lacking, and it is... n-not my primary field, but...

[He casts another glance downward at the dissected paopu. The pulp glistens, and the aroma wafting from the fruit is sweet and cloying.]

... These are... n-not any fruit Terra would have...

fearless_leader: (Standing my ground)

/doubts it too.

[personal profile] fearless_leader 2012-02-18 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh Leo's there. He's enjoying the heat and the sun. Never mind the fact that just on the other side of the mountains it's freezing cold. Currently he's stretched out on his stomach, soaking up some sun. He's also watching Robert's dissecting of the fruit, his head resting in the palm of one hand.]

Find out anything? [His voice for once is relaxed. Darn sun.]
semper_cogitans: (:/)

fffff. Robert needs to be manlier.

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-02-19 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Robert prefers this relaxed air to Leo's usual stoicness, especially considering the fact that this is a significant improvement in function over the turtle's usual, during the winter.

He looks up from one of his awkwardly-sliced cross-sections, peering into foreign-looking plant cell walls.]


... As of yet, not particularly...

... These fruits are... very foreign, though. They have no easily-discernable Terran relative...
fearless_leader: (Can't I get some peace and quiet?)

Needs manliness classes

[personal profile] fearless_leader 2012-02-19 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not too often Leo is this relaxed. Especially around a lot of people.]

I'm not surprised. Who the shell knows where they get these things.
semper_cogitans: (:|)

He really does...

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-02-19 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[It's nice, though! It means he's enjoying himself...]

Considering that... the Malnosso have access to information about the worlds of every current Lucetian... well, that is a difficult question to answer.

[He looks down at the fruit again. Why does he feel like he should eat it, even knowing the risks?]
fearless_leader: (Calmly listening)

[personal profile] fearless_leader 2012-02-19 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Which means they could come from anywhere. I know they're not on my world at least. Fruit that could make people do things? I would think that would make the news.

He shifts so he's leaning on one arm, and reaches out to pick up one of the pieces.]

I don't trust these though.
semper_cogitans: (:/)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-02-19 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It would... probably be immediately put under scientific scrutiny, yes...

[Robert watches Leo study the fruit with an air of passivity. Leo's judgment on these things usually tends to be sound...]

... If anything, it is... likely similar to last year.

[Oh, Sanji's going to comment alright. Robert is messing with food - like hell he can let that slide]

Oi, what the hell are you doing? [The blond man, now his full height and age, comes stomping closer, both out of intrigue and annoyance at seeing food treated so rudely]
semper_cogitans: (D:>)

shit LOL stupid Enter key

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-02-19 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
[...

He recognizes this voice. Robert's gaze snaps up almost immediately, hesitating as though he'd been caught dissecting something alive rather than a mere fruit.]


... A-Analyzing the... f-foreign substances. Or, er, a-attempting to...

concasse: all unmarked icons were made by me; other icons were edited but still credit original creator (huh↠ curiouser and curiouser)

It is an evil little thing >>

[personal profile] concasse 2012-02-19 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Analyzing it for what? Poison? [Since in that case, Sanji can sorta understand. Enticing or not, this is still a "gift" from the Malnosso, and the chef remembers some of the unfortunate consequences.

But still. B| Food in the sand. Displeasure is eminent.]
semper_cogitans: (:<)

All it wants is my suffering!

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-02-19 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
That, b-but... also the structure. The... phylum it is l-likely to belong to... wh-whether it has any visible m-modification...

... [Awkwardly:] The fruits had, er... odd c-catalysts last year, and I... am u-uncertain as to how they were produced... if th-these are similar, I... I m-mean to find whether there is some concrete m-method...

[The way Sanji is looking almost makes him feel bad that he went to do this at all.]
concasse: (sigh↠ that's just how it is)

[personal profile] concasse 2012-02-19 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[There are many things Sanji could say to that, but instead, he holds his tongue silent - or at least, keeps the sharp side of his temper in check]

Alright, I get it. You're a scientist, right. [His eyes close, but then one pops open to angle a level stare.] You gonna eat it when you're done?
semper_cogitans: (:|a)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-02-21 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[This thought admittedly had occurred to him.]

If I c-can... determine that it is... h-harmless, then... then I may do so...

... At least, I will... e-ensure it does not go to waste...

[A little hopefully:] ... I... intend to s-see if I can... grow more of these f-fruit... by, er, s-sequestering the seeds...

antlioncyclone: (what's that you say?)

[personal profile] antlioncyclone 2012-02-19 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[...that's a pretty unusual thing to do, but Mewtwo doesn't see anything strange about the behavior beyond that. It's a little nostalgic to watch.

After a while, Mewtwo approaches the man directly, a half-eaten fruit in his own hand, and peers down at the whole setup.]


What have you discovered?
semper_cogitans: (:/)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-02-21 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Robert glances up from where he'd been studying the latest slice of paopu - a cross-section of the middle - to see Mewtwo there; the familiar voice in his mind (that will never stop being amazing and unsettling all at once) lets him know who it is before he looks up, though.]

... Unfortunately, n-not nearly as much as... I would have liked.

...

... So far, all I have... c-conclusively found is that, while the structure of the pulp is... superficially similar to some pre-Terran fruits, s-such as starfruit, it... has an a-almost artificially-organized quality to it that... T-Terran fruit would lack...
antlioncyclone: (gonna try something different.)

[personal profile] antlioncyclone 2012-03-01 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[....chew chew chew.

He got all of that, actually.]


It seems normal to me. How so?
semper_cogitans: (:|a)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-03-04 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
... Do you... w-wish to see it, on... on a microscopic level...? [And Robert indicates the instrument sitting next to him, with the slide delicately perched inside its glass case.] It would... a-allow you to see what I mean, for yourself...
antlioncyclone: (my smug asshole grin)

[personal profile] antlioncyclone 2012-03-08 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[chew chew swallow. headtilt...

...Mewtwo gives a little snorting chuckle, then crouches down to take a look, tilting his head to peer into the microscope with one eye. What's he seeing?]
semper_cogitans: (:/)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-03-10 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Something very fascinating!

It's... all very yellowish - fruit pulp, specifically - but at this distant the cells are visible, and they are all... very regular. Almost artificially-precise, all very even little spheres that link together in a regular pattern.

It looks a lot more regular than anything... natural would, at least.]


... What do you think...?
