October 31, 2012: Warehouse Hallowe'en Party

Welcome to Leena's Bed and Breakfast. It's a homey-looking place with a well-loved lived-in feel. Once you come in the front door, you're faced with a hallway. To the left is a large living room, with a sunroom off of the side, and a dining room off of the back. Straight ahead is a kitchen, with a private wing behind it and a bathroom. To the right is a stairway upstairs with a ribbon tied across the banister. Go under the ribbon to your own peril.

Joshua, Helena, and Claudia are milling around.

Have fun, and please don't trash anything too badly!

David nods. "She was the Caretaker at the time, yes."
Tiny blonde woman with a French accent, quite unassuming until you crossed her.

"Its always good to find a place where you can fit in. That's something the Warehouse does well. I envy her that ability."
this_isaturn: (<_<)

"She does have quite a bit of practice."
There's still the faintest tingle of lightning in the air. Somewhere, David's sure, she's giving poor Irene yet another headache, but at least this one's got happier circumstances behind it.

"Yes, she does. I'll have to see if I could get to know her better. I'm in the process of building a community myself which is always tricky. But the Warehouse and Milliways give me hope that I can succeed."

"Reading the Warehouse's mood... takes practice. But I dare say if you could talk your way into a tour, you could learn the art of it."
He's sharp. If he were of this world, David could very easily see him working here.

"I'm certain that I could. I'm fairly good at reading moods," Its not bragging just the truth.
this_isaturn: (<_<)

[personal profile] this_isaturn 2013-11-02 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
"And I think she'd like you, which always makes it easier."

[personal profile] balancingminds 2013-11-02 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Thank you, I'd hope that she would. Bar likes me."
this_isaturn: (quite a predicament)

[personal profile] this_isaturn 2013-11-02 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
"And that, I've gathered, is something that makes Milliways easier."
He hasn't had much acquaintance with the Bar as of yet, but he hopes he made a good impression with 'surprise me.' And with taking the disappearing blue drink he got in response in stride.
balancingminds: (soft smile)

[personal profile] balancingminds 2013-11-02 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
"It does, yes," From David's thoughts, he appears to have started off very well.
this_isaturn: (not sure about this plan)

[personal profile] this_isaturn 2013-11-02 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
"What do you do, in your world?"

[personal profile] balancingminds 2013-11-02 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm a geneticist. What did you do before getting involved with the Warehouse?"
this_isaturn: (what in the world)

"I'm sorry?" That's... not a familiar term to David.
"My parents were in finance. My oldest brother eventually ran it into the ground."
balancingminds: (skeptical)

[personal profile] balancingminds 2013-11-02 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
"What year is it for you?"

That will help him know how best to explain what he does.
this_isaturn: (praying this ends well)

[personal profile] this_isaturn 2013-11-02 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
"It was 1914 when I... arrived."
Arrived, got shot by pirates, it amounts to the same thing.

He winces briefly at the thought along with David,

"I see then have you heard of Mendel?"
this_isaturn: (this is a turn)

[personal profile] this_isaturn 2013-11-02 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah. Yes, I have."
He and Helena had to round up one of his overgrown pea patches once. That was a bit of a faff.
balancingminds: (DNA model)

[personal profile] balancingminds 2013-11-02 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Then I'm the same type of scientist as he is. I study genetics with a focus on mutations."
this_isaturn: (not sure about this plan)

[personal profile] this_isaturn 2013-11-02 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
David nods. "So he was on to something after all. Can't say I'm surprised."
People who turn their work into Artifacts are rarely chasing shadows.

"He was, just the tip of the iceberg really. We've only recently been able to model genes and there's so much more to learn. If you're curious, I can tell you more about it. I wrote my dissertation on the subject at Oxford."

"Science has always been more Helena's field than mine, but it may make for interesting reading."

"Next time we're in Bar at the same time, remind me and I'll get it for you."

"I will, thank you."
The least he can do is try to understand some of what's come after him.

"Good, I look forward to hearing your thoughts."
