I'll Blind You With Science

Salutations, Polyites!

30; I've created a MONSTER!
It's alive...it's alive. Good for you, Citizen, the Deities always encourage applying new ideas to form. That is, as long as those ideas aren't as brilliant as theirs or those ideas go very wrong. Preferably the latter. Today those affected carry out an impulse to create. It could be an invention (that blows up) or a solution (that makes your hair fall out) or a living being (who wants to eat you). It doesn't matter if you're not a science type to begin with, in fact, that only makes the outcome more exciting. [There will be a post for players to share creations or help each other with ideas!]


So! Here's that post! Toss out your ideas, find collaborators, form a research team, collect your references, work on that literature review, do your research, perform your experiments, file your patents, and don't forget to get permission from the review board if you intend to use human research subjects--oh, to hell with that! Invention is 1% inspiration and 99% persperation (or at least that's what the guy who invented deodorant thought).

Look out! We're about to do science!

JEZEBEL IS SO IN. Who would like to help the crazy doctor man?

[identity profile] withonestone.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
That depends. What's he going to be getting up to?

[identity profile] deathofdelilah.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Not entirely sure. Jezebel canonly loves resurrecting people and animals, so maybe he could try resurrecting a bunch of people/animals and unleashing a zombie hoard? Hmmmm.

Sob, if Rip finds out about it, SHE WILL BE ALL OVER THIS.

He just made an entry about them >D

SCREAM.

Continuing on my recent streak of "I'm going to hell for this"...

WHAT'S UP, DOC? WANT A ROBO-HENCHMAN? >>

[identity profile] deathofdelilah.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
FUCK YEAH.

WANNA HELP ME UNLEASH A ZOMBIE HOARD? 8D

[identity profile] proto-typing.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Zombies? Please. Me and Doc once unleashed an ancient horde of lion men with laser eyes, okay.

Zombies are so last decade.

[identity profile] deathofdelilah.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Jez likes his zombies, what can he say. He's traditional that way.

[identity profile] proto-typing.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Look, can they at least be zombies with laser eyes?

EXPLODING LASER EYES?

EXPLODING EYE PARASITES WITH LASER BEAMS ON THEIR HEADS?!



The possibilities are endless.

[identity profile] deathofdelilah.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Ahhh very well, but Jezebel refuses to claim responsibility for that last bit when shit inevitably goes down. "MY LAB NOOOOOOO"

[identity profile] proto-typing.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
No, but in all seriousness, Jez is totally calling the shots on this one. Proto will probably just hang out in his lab and snark and constantly call him "Doc", and possibly whine like a petulant child when there isn't enough ~action~ in whatever plan he comes up with.

(Note: there is never enough ~action~ in any plan for Proto. It is an unattainable goal.)

Feel free to snipe at and/or bicker with him, threaten to lobotomize him, turn him into scrap, etc. ♥

[identity profile] deathofdelilah.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Heee, bickering snarky assistants are what Jez is used to, so that sounds like a good arrangement. 8D Be careful about the lobotomozing thing, giving permission to come at you with sharp things usually ends only in tears and/or organs in jars.

ATTN: MAD SCIENTISTS AND EVIL GENIUSES

Meet Proto.

So Proto here is what you might call a Professional Henchman™. Which basically means that he will hang out in your lab and cheerfully snark at everything you do and generally be That Quirky Sidekick to all of your evil shenanigans! Granted, he is also a pretty terrible henchman in that he will not necessarily actually support your cause, and may spend more time cheering for the heroes trying to defeat you than actually aiding you, and may disobey you at any given time to go pursue his own ends, and possibly make REALLY LOUSY PUNS at the most inopportune of times.

Buuuuuuuut occasionally he'll shoot things if needed! And, y'know, he's a walking, talking, robotic engine of destruction. His credentials include:

--Attempting to use a gravity ray to bring the moon crashing down onto Earth to take over the world
--Attempting to use a giant robotic spider to suck all the electricity out of an entire city's power grid to take over the world
--Attempting to use magic fragments of a radioactive meteor to drastically boost a robot's power levels to take over the world
--Attempting to use mind-control rock music to enslave unsuspecting humans to build a bigger transmitter to take over the world
--Attempting to use a theme park to lure in unsuspecting humans to turn them into a robot army to take over the world

...You may be sensing a trend here. TL;DR: NOTHING SURPRISES HIM ANYMORE.

SO. Who wants a wisecracking robot henchman to complement their mad scientist hilarity?

Research is for people that don't got it clear: it should have breasts. And a phone number.

The Cat is going to be "inventing" a giant killer hairball (which hacks up hairballs of its own) which will roam the City streets and then the wilds being disgusting and terrorizing people. It won't actually harm any people, because it's the Cat's and she's more harmless than she makes herself out to be (especially here), but feel free to run into it and have it try to nom on a limb or make disgusting hairball-hacking noises at you; or you can see it in the forest nomming on the smaller monsters and hacking out the bones.

There will be a post. The Cat will be very proud.

Oh, my God - that's disgustingly genius.

gsjgakgj YESSS. I'm having one of the boys notice is.

Hanna wants to create something as a result of magic experimenting gone wrong (you know, what happens normally to him).

BUT...I don't know what sort of monster happens to come out. I think it's based on a common household object, but I don't know what, or how dangerous, or any of that. D: I AM LACKING INSPIRATION, PLEASE HALP.

[identity profile] backseatangel.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
A rampaging kitchen sink with garbage-disposer maw waiting to suck unsuspecting hands inside for grinding and nomming?

[identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ooooh...that's actually a really good one! :D I'm saving that idea!

I think I'll either use that or take some of that and try to mix it in with the oven that Hanna got all gross and goo covered.

An uh... experiment in... uh... monster power?

Sylar will be creating large mechanical creatures akin to these guys (http://www.strandbeest.com/film_videos.php). They're meant to help with menial tasks like taking out the trash or transporting things and made nearly entirely out of clockwork mechanisms. But...just look at them, they're sure to start tearing things apart and wandering off with people.

Since he's already somewhat afflicted with this sort of thing (he's got an extreme impulse to fix things), he'll probably be up and doing this as soon as the curse goes into effect- so expect at least a few of these monstrosities to be up and about during the day.

I am so clueless on inventions, but would like something to tricks people in some amusing way. I think Di Di would enjoy that. Any ideas?

[identity profile] justcautious.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Don't know what to do with the Master.

But Roy will be inventing THE INTERNET.




Or trying to, anyway.
