[Science Experiment] || [Collar Fluid Research Start] || [Open]

[doc_brown]

Characters: Anyone who's willing to work for SCIENCE.
Setting: The Workshop (Floor 15) for the IC questions to the scientists and the mingle thread. Then each group will be positioned on a different floor so as to not alert the administrators with a large group of people gathering at a single place for a long time.
Format: Prose or action, whichever you prefer.

Summary: This log marks the start of the research on the collar fluid! As was mentioned in the sign-ups post, words was passed around about the need of more people to help and study the collar fluid. Characters signing-up have all been divided into seven teams, which can be found here. ICly, Doc Brown made the team based on what he thinks is the most efficient. You can still sign-up here.

There will be a thread in case your character needs to ask a question or anything to the starter scientists (Doc, Waver, Sertoria or Sephiroth) and in parallel a mingle thread for all the characters during the 'recruitment', even if they end up assigned to different teams. And then obviously, there are the individual threads for each teams so the new teammates can get and know each other if they don't already.

For their first day the teams will be on different floors, but following this nothing prevents two teams from working closeby or on different floors. For reference, there are three set of scientific equipment, each containing a microscope, a small centrifuge, beakers, test tubes, many testing apparatuses, etc. They'll be shared between the seven teams depending on what they need for their researches.

Warnings: Nothing! There will be no NPC tags here, researches shouldn't be dangerous and this log is mostly for the characters to get and know each other, so this should be a relatively harmless log. Well, unless you're in the Violet or Orange team of course. In which case, good luck.

At this point we really haven't a choice, now do we?

[he sure as shit doesn't look happy about it, though.]

[neverbeamemory]

For what it's worth, it's not a desired situation on my part either. Needs must however, we are painfully running out of time after all.

[If there were a way for Sephiroth to have taken the Tower on single-handed he would have tried it a million times by now if there were any indication that he'd ever be successful. As it was, sacrifices to personal pride are having to be made all the time.]

Name your terms, and we'll see if we can't come to some sort of an agreement.

[fionnuisce]

No running around provoking or killing anyone, and in particular leave myself and Diarmuid well enough alone. On top of that, if you do find any worthwhile information, don't decide to keep it to yourself like a twit.

In short: don't fuck around and play nice for a change. How's that for terms?

[even supernova can't outdo the size of the fuck this man does not give.]

[neverbeamemory]

[Sephiroth manages to keep a straight face. Waver's attitude just rubs like sandpaper backwards across all the wrong nerve endings.]

I have only ever delivered misery where it has been due. Your pet started on me.

[Still, his voice is steady - though annoyance is starting to taint his tone. He's doing such a good job in keeping his inherent anger in check it would be a shame to abandon all that now.]

But if that's how you want to play. I am playing nice enough already and intend to be as cooperative as necessary in order for results to be achieved here. Would it be so difficult to expect such respect in return?

[fionnuisce]

Calling it 'respect' would be pushing it. 'Cautious indifference', maybe?

[waver stop provoking the final boss]

[neverbeamemory]

[Cautious indifference is a given. This is pretty much how Sephiroth tolerates most of the populous already. Not quite judging, not quite overlooking.]

'Mutual acceptance'? I'll not hinder you if you don't get in my way.

[Compromise, needs must. Despite how he shouldn't be meeting anyone half-way; he's the one entitled to do this research.]
