mad scientist

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[Sora may have slept through one or two science lessons growing up, but the lessons he knows for certain he didn't snooze through were the ones that involved poking around the laboratory. he knows his way around them well enough, he likes to think, and as such has taken over one for the day.]

[there's a bandaid on his arm and a couple of slides with red, blotchy samples on the table next to him. he's peering into the microscope, an eyebrow quirked.]

Weird.

What's weird?

[Hello, there's a Roxas standing in the doorway looking curious.]

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

Blood cells. And bugs, and all the other weird little creepy crawlies I'm looking at.

[glances up at Roxas, and smiles a little.]

[stillahothead.livejournal.com]

I never pegged Soras for the science type...

[Raises an eyebrow, wandering in.]

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

Well ... I'm not, not really .. but I do like tinkering with the stuff in here.

[translation: he likes making messes.]

[stillahothead.livejournal.com]

[Just laughs.]

So what specifically is under the microscope?

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[gestures vaguely to the bandaid on his arm.]

It's more interesting than looking at my hair, anyway.

[Dyme has been looking for more science-y types to help Kairi with the zombie thing hi so he's been frequenting the labs. he definitely didn't expect to find a Sora in one.]

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[what a coincidence! he glances up at Dyme, and offers a warm smile in greeting.]

Hello?

[justbusking.livejournal.com]

[a totally amazing coincidence, yes. raises a hand and returns the smile.]

Hey. Didn't expect to find one of you guys in here.

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[grins.]

Just researching!

[blowing up things! setting things on fire! the parts of the lessons he always enjoyed the most!]

[justbusking.livejournal.com]

Researching what?

[heads on in, since Soras are generally a friendly type and probably wouldn't mind the intrusion.]

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

Well ...

[rubs the back of his head.]

It's kind of a shot in the dark, but I'm trying to find something so that the scientists that actually know what they're doing can work with it.

[justbusking.livejournal.com]

...find something? What exactly are you looking for?

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

A virus. It ... makes people crazy.

[crosses his arms, frowning.]

I'm not really having much luck, though.

[justbusking.livejournal.com]

Crazy?

[hey wait a minute.]

...so, what, you have it?

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[nods slightly, starting to speak all mumbly all the sudden.]

M'trying to find a cure.

[justbusking.livejournal.com]

Y'don't seem very crazy, ya know.

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[smiles a little at that.]

Mm. I hope it stays that way, too. I'd rather not turn in front of people anymore.

[justbusking.livejournal.com]

You make it sound like you turn into a werewolf or something.

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[... pffff, he cracks up laughing.]

Yeah, something like that.

[justbusking.livejournal.com]

"Something like that"?

[taps his chin.]

Vampire? Swamp creature? Frankenstein?

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

Zombie is probably more accurate.

[fumbles with the microscope awkwardly.]

[justbusking.livejournal.com]

[opens his mouth. closes it. blinks.]

So... wait. You're a zombie.

But only sometimes.

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

... I'm always sick. I just .. can still think most of the time.

[stares down at his feet. nothing's really been the same ever since coming back to the dressing room.]

[justbusking.livejournal.com]

And you're trying to find a cure? That's great! Me and a Kairi are trying, 'cause most of the zombies around here are... y'know... zombie-ish twenty-four-seven. And she's from the world the zombie virus thing came from.

[scratches his cheek.]

I talked to Elaeus a little while ago, and he agreed to look into it once I managed to get him some samples and stuff.
