[so having got back from his mission last week with parts, Scorpius during the time before and during the event had ransacked the Item Shop for electronics. He'd also gotten some out of empty apartments. And... taken them down to one of the New Feather stations. Specifically the one which is labelled aa on this map. So there might be a little workshop and a few not quite finished things there. He's tried not to leave too much behind which can be used or damaged by anyone else other than the incomplete frame of a pulse generator (so no little light in it right now, just the frame) and welding equipment.

Anyway, back in the village now for the first time since then his first stop is the Item Shop to pick up more cooling rods (and he really needs a better system for this), and then the Tea Shop to enjoy some iced tea now that he's back in town. It's there that he delivers the two messages below. But either way, after that Scorpius heads to the Smithy partially to see if there's anything interesting there but mostly to try to secure some new base metals.

And then... at the end of his day, to the Battle Dome. Not to fight, but rather just to observe. He would return right to work (he even has a small pack full of items with which to do so by the end of the day) but he might as well look around for anyone interesting here in both the med center part of it (also to closely examine the technology there) and the viewing area to watch how people fight.

And finally, once all that is over and people are home with nothing better to do and no home to return to... he decides to walk through the woods in the cool night air. First down to the southern lake where he'll meditate and then back to New Feather Watch Station aa to check on his stuff and finally come to sleep outside of it.

...So Luceti, there's a six foot tall bondage creeper around town today you can run into the bolded places or between them. Permissions for his thermal read here]

[Filtered to Yuri Nakamura]

A moment of your time. [She'll do. He would ask Drusilla (but she seems hard to contact) or either of the Doctors, maybe Red, but they don't seem as ostracized or foolhardy]

[Filtered to Nezumi]

I have completed your project.

[...That'll do. The good Doctor will contact him on her own time if she gets the permission needed and discovers anything. It's more of a curiosity there anyway. Something to occupy himself. Unless she had real samples from when she was changed it would be pointless and he's still kicking himself a bit for not collecting any. Too nice. Too safe.

...Bah and it's too warm these days. He should build a cooling room next.]

What's going on?

[tellmejohn]

I would like us to meet in person.

[magentarific]

Say when and where.

locked

[tellmejohn]

Half of an arn, near the entrance to those tunnels.

[action]

[deathsdoctor]

Can I help you?

[Six foot tall bondage creeper meet doctor in black scrubs and a white lab coat. Law's come around the corner (rather soundlessly at that) and has noticed someone inspecting the equipment.

Huh. Interesting.

Don't think he's seen you in these parts before.]

[action]

[tellmejohn]

[Oh that dude must be the doctor. Or one of them. Scorpius glances briefly over before making one more semi-rebellious touch of the equipment he happens to be looking at now. He should get more time with the MRI later...

Anyway]

If you wanted to give me a tour of the equipment in here, perhaps.

[action]

[deathsdoctor]

[Hmmm. Okay. Another one to possibly keep an eye on? Although Sherlock Holmes was probably going to filch surgical supplies for that damned foolish experiment he wanted to try. Somehow he didn't think his scalpels were at risk from this one.]

I have time for a short tour, yes. Are you a doctor or a scientist?

[Well, let's get a feel for this, shall we?]

[action]

[tellmejohn]

[Man Scorpius is still waiting on word for the results of that one. If he doesn't get it soon he might need to convince some other stupid or insane person to do it. Oh well. As for him-] A scientist. [He gives it off, right? Actually, he also gives out military with how firm and slightly rigid his stance is. He folds his hands behind his back]

I wanted to get a feel for what Luceti offers for us to work with.

[savedtheworld]

[Aang is doing his regular check of the item shop when he's distracted by that very oddly-dressed fellow nearby. His confusion turns into an unnerved stare.]

[Action]

[tellmejohn]

[Cool, cool. Traumatizing children and choking babies is all in good fun but right now he's actually looking to collect some new items. Namely, he'll be starting with this microwave. ...Which he doesn't need to whole thing for, so he'll be taking out some tools to dissect it in the back]

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang continues to peer curiously at the stranger as he goes through his errands, distracting him from his search for a bison whistle. Part of him wants to talk to the guy just to ease this confusion, but another part recalls how Katara and Shikamaru had told him to be a bit more cautious about who he talks to. He snaps out of this decision process to find he's now blocking Scorpius's way. He nervously attempts a greeting.]

Uh, hi!

[Action]

[tellmejohn]

[At least he's not carrying the microwave now, just some tools and a few of the interior circuits and such. But. Politely-] Hello.

[action - tea shop!]

[folklorist]

[ Sup Scorpius have a headmaster trying not to stare at you while drinking some tea in that tea shop, yep. He's seen you passing before but never really had the chance to talk. Perhaps today will be the day. Either way he's enjoying a nice refreshing glass of sweet tea because the sugar, it calls to him. ]

[action - tea shop!]

[tellmejohn]

[Iced tea as always here. Oh. It's that... guy. His thermal read almost says "Sebacean" - but he's actually cooler than that, almost like a corpse except for subtle spikes at certain movements. He also isn't reacting as much to outside temperature as a cold blooded Sebacean would. Either way, different than a normal human profile.

...Normal human. He actually chuckles to himself when he thinks that]

[action - tea shop!]

[folklorist]

[ Helios will actually hear that chuckle and finally look over at the other with a smile. ] Th-they have wonderful tea here, don't they?

[ This is in no way going to be an awkward conversation, nope. ]

[action - tea shop!]

[tellmejohn]

That they do. [He is most impressed. Totally]

[locked]

[asquiet]

Ah, have you? Good, good. I hope it didn't bring you too much trouble.

[locked]

[tellmejohn]

Not at all... though, I did not know what sort of device you would use for monitoring. While there is space enough to install it, I have not yet.

[locked]

[asquiet]

[Hmm. He should have been more clear with what he wanted, but actually, this could work, too.]

How big is it?

[Action, Battle Dome Clinic]

[fleurdesel]

[She'd managed to collect one sample for comparison. And while she'd fully intended to collect another a random encounter with a frightened, and armed, New Feather has left the good Doctor laid out in the clinic. Stable, now, dosed with painkillers and coming out of sedatives she'd been given to calm her after that flight.

Which had been, in and of itself, somewhat mortifying. Even more than letting herself be cut with a knife. Adele's half awake when Scorpius wanders through, and it takes her a moment to blink his form into some kind of clarity. To be honest she's not entirely certain she's truly seeing him.]

...Scorpius?

[Action, Battle Dome Clinic]

[tellmejohn]

I did not expect to see you in this state.

[Lightly, calmly. Looking down at her. The extent of her injuries is...? Huh]

[Action, Battle Dome Clinic]

[fleurdesel]

I had not...expected. To be in this state.

[A low huff of laughter, followed by a groan. It hurt, still. A lingering ache even should she breathe too deep. The cut to her chest was a long line of pain arching from her right shoulder to left armpit, deepest at the shoulder. Mended as best it could be at the moment.]

You are...touring? The clinic.

[corrinesbell]

[Eventually Sheena got over her general freaked out state in regard to this guy, but he still startles her every time he comes in the door.

At least she knows to just bring him iced tea now.]

Here you go.

[tellmejohn]

[Wow is this what being a regular somewhere is like? He enjoys it, it harks back to his being in charge back home. He gracious takes the iced tea, giving a smile which doesn't make him look that much more inviting and settles himself in nicely to this table here]

Thank you.

[corrinesbell]

Sure, no problem. I could bring you out the whole pitcher of the stuff if you wanted, so you don't keep having to ask for more.
