Who ya gonna..you know what? No; I'm not gonna pander.

[onewonton]

When you say 'scientific exploration' why do I think you mean something different?

Sure there are plenty of ghosts here, some even seem proud to be dead. But what am I supposed to do about it here? Prove the existence of something people already believe in?

Science is about unraveling the mysteries of the universe! About opening your mind to the vast, incomprehensible nothingness of space and saying... yeah, I can see that! It's about...


It's about damned time I get some good soup. Is that to much to ask for crying out loud? I mean there is a mystery of the universe. I get delivery in the same amount of time whether I love across town or above the Chinese joint. This is one for the books, how is it that they can't even figure out how many wontons per fluid ounce of broth? There has to be a measuring cup right? A ladle a least? This isn't rocket science people!

Ok...right...well... I better go see if Holtzmann needs anything before she blows up the lab. again

Nah, the lab's safe. Well, should be. Long as I don't spend more than about five minutes forty two seconds in here. Give or take two minutes.

[onewonton]

See... I love you. I do. But it's that give or take bit that sometimes makes me want to throttle you.

In a loving way.

[table_of_treats]

Can't make a miniature hadron collider without risking a few universes.

Because I'm not on my Ray account at the moment, you get a Jedi Master instead. XD

[dredi_master]

Even when a thing is already known to exist, that doesn't mean that there is nothing about it left to learn. In fact, I've found that the more I learn, the more I realize that I do not know.

[He's not commenting on the soup thing, cause that's a little outside his purview.]

Awww you should say hi to my Aayla sometime

[onewonton]

Uh huh. Right well, papers don't get promoted for stuff ya already know. But... ok did I have some bad Cantonese or are you not human.

A least a little.

YES he totally should. It would be amazing and awkward. XD

[dredi_master]

There are many things known to exist whose natures are still a mystery. The galaxy is a vast place, and many things that we already know of still have many secrets to be discovered.

[He chuckles.]

I'm a Nautolan, actually. Jedi Master Kit Fisto. [He gives a polite nod.] It is good to meet you, Ms. ...?

[gonebyebye]

Well, you could always just use this as an opportunity to gather data. It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Especially if you ever end up having to deal with a Class Deity.

[onewonton]

Gathering data doesn't pay the rent, then again the mayor is footing some of the bill here. So maybe we can take some time to jsut do some studies. Containment power requirements are something we should look into, and size. What is the compression rate on a incorporeal entity?

I ran into a class 4 apparition the other day in the subway.

[table_of_treats]

I've got the compression down to 1:5.83x10^11.

[notintothatconvo]

I would have thought if you wanted wantons, you would have to look in the dictionary. And those are hard to eat.

[onewonton]

[So pretty...so...vacant]

Ummm wontons, dumpling soup? Chinese food staple for..centuries? Ya know, never mind. Just get the phone when it rings.

[table_of_treats]

The one on the desk. Not the one in the fish tank.

Sorry he's the only sciency pup awake

[armornomore]

Ghosts don't exist though. I mean the energy technically would have to go somewhere, but it's just a hallucination for the most part. Or an alchemist manipulating things.

[ Alphonse pauses a moment. ] For the most part at least, there might be some cases, but only time I've heard, it's been more of a cruel trick, or animated dolls, but the soul's not there, so they're hollow copies of the person they're trying to be.

[ He'll spare you the whole conversation of Humunculi ]

[onewonton]

Oh yeah Ponytail? You think you know so much about the science of the paranormal? I've seen dozens now, communicated with them. One stole my car.

I don't know about souls, theology isn't my thing. I know ghost, entities that exist in varying state of corporeal being but are not earthly living creatures. They are real. If you're looking for your great aunt I wouldn't bet on it, but the resonance of her being might still exist.

I'm so sorry about this party pooper.

[armornomore]

[Well okay he'll deal with that nickname, it's not horrible at least.] I know a lot about science at least. My brother and I are... were kind of a big deal back home. Though you probably haven't heard of us here. [ He frowns a little at that. ]

I know that it's usually not a good thing to try to communicate with the dead anyway. Try bringing them back, you'll get something much worse than a loved one. It'll wear their body, but... [ He shakes his head last thing he wants to think about is Wrath, Envy, or the others.] When the body dies there's nothing left.

[mini_misotheist]

Mysteries of the universe? You must be a scientist too. What do you study?

[onewonton]

Well to put it plainly, ghosts.

[mini_misotheist]

Ghost ghosts? Or ghost types?

[lenseless]

Hey Abby! [Waves]

[onewonton]

Hello Kevin. Are you out of the office for a reason today?

[lenseless]

Forgot to pack lunch so I went to get a sandwich.

*flails over Ghostbusters like whoah*

[mountainofevidence]

It's really inconvenient when the labs blow up, isn't it? We had to do that last time the bread samples escaped. The paperwork was terrible.

[Good job Carlos, excellent first impression. At least his smile is pretty?]

[onewonton]

Not that it's ever happened on a large scale. More than once. That I've been linked to.

But yeah I'd rather keep my lab as it is and continue my work than sweep up debris.

[Yes, it is a very pretty smile, which she returns]

[ectoplasmed]

Abby, have you considered maybe ordering from a different restaurant?

[...wait.]

Also can you please stop with the "blowing up the lab" jokes, because it's — I mean, it is a joke, right? Just some fun hyperbole?

[onewonton]

What? I have a personal relationship with these guys. We've been through a lot. Besides I think I am this close to getting Bennie to get the order right.

Umm ok which answer will make you stop doing that severe scowl, eyebrow furrow thing. Because which ever answer that is, that's it.
