The Tale of a Jerk and a Scientist

Characters: Hojo and YOU
Setting: Throughout the tower. Pick a floor, any floor.
Format: Action to start, but I'll match prose, too
Summary: After some time spent wandering his ruined world like a ghost, Hojo has returned to the Tower. His first priority? Research.
Warnings: A complete lack of scientific ethics, which may come up.


[A great deal has gone on in Hojo's absence--he's been gone months!--and this has had the unfortunate effect of upsetting so much of his research. He has absolutely no idea what's happened while he's been gone.

So what's a scientist to do? Make his way through all the floors he had been so carefully studying, trying to salvage what he can. Sometimes he talks to himself. Sometimes he hums. Off-key or tunelessly. Sometimes he scowls and stops to take notes. Sometimes he smiles. And stops to take notes again. He grits his teeth, doing his best to ignore the cold. He's worked in cold (very cold) climates before. Fortunately, he has a Fire Materia, which provides some warmth.

One might find him in the cafeteria, taking samples of the oatmeal.

In the observatory, he spends a long time looking out, studying the strange creatures visible through the glass.

He takes soil samples in the graveyard, and biological samples on floor Forty-One, collecting insects. He plucks a few blossoms in the meadow (Twenty-Five) and in the garden (Twenty-Nine).

He stops in the clinic to deal with a few of the wounds he's sustained along the way.

He pauses to enjoy the morgue (Twenty-Six) and the laboratory (Twenty-Seven), looking for traces of his old research with Fuhito. He doesn't find much, though what he finds, he gathers up. What a shame. So much work lost. All the more reason to work more, and harder.

So much to do, so much...

And yet, there's quite a bit of time.

[If Hojo were to turn around, he would see a boy with white hair that didn't seem to be shivering or affected by the cold much, if at all. In fact, the boy was smiling.]

If you don't mind my asking, what are you going to use those blossoms for? And are you freezing?

As Hojo travels through each floor, studying anything and everything that had caught his interest, he'll find a blue haired young woman. She's studying the tools and such here and determining if anything can be used to rebuild her maintenance bed. Unfortunately, no such luck for all the advancements this tower possesses.

As she turns and spots him, unblinking crimson eyes look over him and scan his lifesigns. Nope, nothing of interest to her. But she remembers him for the future.
kosmic_angel: (Standing.)

[personal profile] kosmic_angel 2012-12-03 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[She remains unblinking as he studies her. This is definitely not strange to her, used to Vector employees hovering around her or staring or checking her over. Shion had insisted on checking all her systems for abnormalities the day before.]

KOS-MOS. Developmental name KP-X.

If you have enough time, then you can rebuild your work. If you don't mind my asking, what is your work?

[chaos nodded.] Those things may help, but the cold is still pretty relevant. If you want, I can warm you up for a while, if you'll let me.
kosmic_angel: (Speaking.)

[personal profile] kosmic_angel 2012-12-03 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
It is a pleasure to meet you, Professor Hojo.

[Still unbothered. Probably one of the few people in the tower who would be.]

I am the Anti-Gnosis Annihilation Weapon built by Vector Industries. Project origin was on the planet Carioca before being transferred to the Woglinde.

If it gets disrupted, you can keep rebuilding, if you have enough time. Rebuild as many times as you need to. If you are to study life and know it's secrets, you can't give up, can you?

[After all, knowing everything about the universe was a good thing. It may hurt the person who knew and understood, but it might also help them rest easy and help others. chaos smiled at the question.]

Like this. Pardon me for a moment..

[And with that, chaos will put his hand on the man's shoulder. Using a bit of his power, he warmed up the man. Not so much that he burst into flames, but enough so that he should be warm for awhile. Of course, if the man brushed off his arm, the effect wouldn't last as long, if at all.]

Hee~ey. What'cha doin'?

[A strange being is peeping over Hojo's shoulder. It seems to be a human girl, but its body is tightly wrapped allover with bandage, except for the head, which is covered with a paper bag.]

I'll choose the graveyard!

[personal profile] pengeen 2012-12-03 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Kidou had walked into the Graveyard with a huge armful of flowers. He placed small bouquets on a few graves. One for his little sister, another for his mentor, one for his former teammate and for his rival... as he places down the flowers, he utters a small thank you, which is different for each person.

After he says his last thanks, he starts walking towards the stairs. Though, something gets him to stop in his tracks.

Or someone, really.

He stood only a few feet from the professor, his eyes wide behind his goggles and his mouth hanging open like he was going to say something, though the only thing that manages to escape his throat are slow, quiet breaths. He really couldn't believe he was seeing this man again...]

My purpose is to destroy the Gnosis that currently threaten humanity across the galaxy. However, my current directive is to ensure the safety of my creator as there are no Gnosis present in this tower and I am incapable of scanning the are surrounding it for any.

I am comprised entirely of mechanic parts and nanomachines which allow me to manipulate the form of my body parts into weapons.

[personal profile] lightofhumanity 2012-12-03 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
I am glad to hear that. Hopefully your work will be finished one of these days..but until then, I hope you're able to learn as much as you can right now without having to rebuild.

[Having used his power, chaos removed his hand. The man should be warm for at least three hours. Hopefully more, but at the very least, it would be three hours. And now, the hard task of using his excuse without being called bullshit on it.]

There are those who draw well and those who run fast. Those who are great scientists and wonderful mathematicians. It is the same for me. This is just something that I can do. It is nothing to worry about.
kosmic_angel: (I am a weapon Shion.)

Creatures found in the Imaginary Domain of existence and capable of interacting with this domain, the Real Numbers domain of existence. However, combating them is impossible as they never fully exist in this plane. Enough to interact and kill humans with a single touch but not enough for them to be killed.

There is a possibility that they could be surrounding the tower, yes. My capabilities do extend to combat outside of the Gnosis phenomenon

[And she'll continue to answer unless the answer was top-secret information regarding Vector or the Federation.]

That is a logical assumption. I have discovered that my systems are far more advanced than most are familiar with.

[She nods at the biologist comment, thinking of realians.]

Oooh.

[Rei tries to peer at the samples in his hands.]

Are you some sort of scientist then?
pengeen: (6)

[personal profile] pengeen 2012-12-03 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
[It takes Kidou another few moments, before closing his mouth and slowly nodding.]

I.. I wasn't expecting to see you again after you left.

[personal profile] terreifying 2012-12-03 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
Biologist...

[She seems to be considering something.]

Do you just work with plants, or can you work with animals too? What about humans?
