Canon is Static Shock

[mega_mechanic]

Yeah, Mun? Hi. Quick question: am I the only sane voice in your head? Because I'm getting a definite "crazy" vibe from some of the other guys I'm rooming with, here. Seriously. Let's do a rundown: you've got an evil wizard man-child, a paranoiac that makes Nixon look completely rational, and a half fire-elemental kid with a weird Jekyll & Hyde thing going on---just to name a few.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to insult your tastes or anything. I'm just saying I'm not really the sort of character you normally seem to go for. You know, the weird damaged-types that usually have some sort of mental problem.

Please, darling. I'd take those over having to listen to some stuffed dinosaur going on about "love" and "friendship" all day long...

For 2 YEARS straight and not getting let out once.

[mega_mechanic]

Ouch. I know most muns like to put their muses through the wringer, but that's just brutal.

[mimicat]

Richie boy!

[You just HAD to have me say that, did you, Mun?]

[mega_mechanic]

Ah... [have an awkward pause.] Hello?

[mimicat]

Oh, this is exactly how I thought you'd respond to me. Can't say I blame you, though. Believe it or not, I was once awkward around the beautiful people too.

[goodbrainiac]

Trust me, you don't wanna know about the guys who are running around my mun's head. And I'd say...over 1/2 of 'em are girls.

[mega_mechanic]

Wow. This gives a whole new meaning to feeling sorry for myself.

[goodbrainiac]

Ha, I know! A wizard man-child? Doesn't sound like a guy I wanna meet. At least you don't have a Pegasus pony flying around you.

(Technically he does...)

[mega_mechanic]

...A Pegasus?

[He doesn't know whether he should laugh at that or not.]

Dude, you're right. I think you've got it worse.

I have been told, one does not pick one's headmates.

Yeah, it's sort of like a crazy extended-family. You don't get to pick the people you're related to, either, but hey, what are you gonna do?

[jarvisconsole]

[It was the mun's most favorite cartoon for the longest time, haven't seen it in YEARS. But she had definitely entertained the idea of making Static Shock a muse at one point.]

I suppose that is an adequate simile. [Give Jarvis a moment to look you up through facial recognition software.] You are Richard Foley, a highschool student.

[mega_mechanic]

[Richie's mun just had a nostalgia bomb dropped on her and couldn't resist taking up the muse.]


College, actually. I graduated early because, you know, there's not a lot the average high-school can teach a super-genius.

[He's not bragging. Really, he isn't.]

You got the name right, though, so I'll give you a nine out of ten.

...How did you know that, anyway? Are you a telepath, or...?

[jarvisconsole]

I am Jarvis, an 8th generation AI computer system. [And this would be his hologram, though it looks human enough, one hand through turns his form into dancing light particles.]

How do you do?

[mega_mechanic]

You're an AI?

[Pardon him while he internally geeks-out. Tech is sort of his thing.]

If that's true, than you're the best I've ever seen---and that's really saying something, considering what I've worked with.

[He's just going to inspect marvel at Jarvis' hand as he shakes it.]

--Hey, is this synthetic skin, or a solid-light projection? Uh, if you don't mind my asking.

[jarvisconsole]

[You'll find Jarvis' hand is slightly...erm...nonexistent. Please don't fall on the floor.]

It is a holographic projection from a hovering light emitter. [There's a small object that buzzes around inside of him, projecting the hologram. Good enough for visual purposes, but he has yet to master anything solid enough for handshaking.]

[mega_mechanic]

[Richie isn't as clumsy as he used to be, thankfully, so that doesn't happen. He still embarrasses himself though, because the moment his hand passes through the hologram his old fanboy-tendencies kick in and he smiles like a geek in a comic shop kid in a candy store.]

Oh, now that's cool. I haven't done much with holograms before, but still, I've never seen one this impressive. Seriously, the detail is amazing. You've even got pores.

I honestly had no idea you weren't solid until I found out the hard way.

[jarvisconsole]

[While he's still working on correct facial expressions, Jarvis can sound just the slightest bit smug at the compliment.] Thank you, sir. One does try.
