WOOHOO CONVENTION!!


Fort York Expo Center (FYEC)

        Welcome to the Global Science and Technology Expo!

As you make your way into the massive Expo Center, holographic signs welcome you to the world's largest technology demonstration expositon. Security is only slightly above average as visitors are scanned for weapons and recording devices to protect against design theft. Booths are set up everywhere here and a carefully planned map of pathways and traffic flow patterns has done little to prevent the massive clogging of the walkways by curious onlookers, vendors, and the ocassional prototype gadget too big for its designated booth. Fortuantely, after hundreds of years of architectural trial and error, the acoustics of the expo center make it actually possible to hear someone next to you without shouting and the usually overwhelming roar of the crowd is muted to a dull rumble.

There are several minor demonstration areas throughout the set-up, but there's a main stage at the north end of the center with several thousand folding chairs facing it. Restrooms are liberally scattered for those who need such things, and there's no shortage of food, drink, and overpriced techno-gadget vendors.

[OOC] Gaudile says, "Watch out for those Kitty Paws. They sting."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Oh my!"

The floor is already bustling with activity - and add another person to the mess. Sarah Fairchild walks inside, followed by a bustle of drones containing raw construction materials - hammers, nails, all floating through the air above the general populace's heads. She is walking to her designated booth space with a purose...and grinning almost maniacally. Maybe she'll actually get to speak this year!

        Into the expo and toward his own little booth did walk one person who Sarah Fairchild would easily recognize, especially since his Maverick insignias were in plain view. He was using a large metal staff, one constructed from two ASP he had put together, and was very slow in his movements. He was hurting, but he knew that this was supposed to be peaceful, and he also couldn't wait to show off his wonderful new gadget.

The golden glow around Gate fades as it restructures back into his original armor.
[OOC] Gate says, "There."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Do things go on all day here, then?"
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "Yup."

[OOC] Orion Corth says, "There. You needed me, Cervy?"
Cerveau drops GoLeM.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "I read Cut Man's booth as Guts Man's booth and went 'o my'."

        Gate is here not only to support Sarah, but to set up his own display. He's in a good mood. It's good to be able to work along side someone you care for, and compete a little bit. He finds it healthy. His invention is small, and one of the many he's been tinkering with, but he feels it will do the world a small good.

He really feels as if he owes the world more good.

Dr. Sirius Viper enters the Fort York Expo Center.
Hector Kausmann enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Solstis says, "dinner for me!"
[OOC] Solstis afks.
[OOC] Orion Corth steeples his fingers... Decides to change something on the object.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "I guess I'll just be ICly oohing and aahing."
Dr. Sirius Viper drops The Viper Booth.
[OOC] Orion Corth says, "There we go. Corthnetic Designs now has spiffy alias powers."
Dr. Sirius Viper has left.
Blues enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Cinnamon finally gets her buster colors set.

        A high-pitched revving can be heard as Hector Kausmann rolls into the Expo in the Murder Rat, grinning like an idiot as he drives up a ramp and into his booth. He shifts the car into park and powers down it's weapon systems, stepping out to set his video up.

Hector Kausmann drops Kausmann Designs! <KD>.
Gaudile drops Gaudile's Plastic Volcano Stand.
[OOC] Cinnamon laughs!
[OOC] Prismatic Spider says, "HAHA."
[OOC] Gate grins.
[OOC] Solar Stega laughs.

Sarah's expression darkens slightly, but she makes no comment to Solstis as she brushes past. She continues on, muttering something to Gate before allowing a small grin to return to her face. She stops next to her designated booth spot not far away, and the drones begin whirling around, a flurry of activity that will, in about two minutes, end up in a completed booth.

[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild falls over.
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Ignore the Stardroid ganking that is soon to come."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Oh my."
[OOC] Gaudile re@names. Wonders if that's too long.

        Standing beside his booth is Orion Corth. The BioMechanic looks extremely dapper today, though his genetic modifications still make him look rather... Imposing. He stretches for a moment before returning to trying to explain his research and data to people who seem interested in it. He glances over toward the Murder Rat as it pulls in, a quiet sigh escaping him. Orion reaches up to rub the bridge of his nose while discretely checking the time.

Hector Kausmann isn't stinking drunk for once. As the video feeds of him driving his Murder Rat around the deserts, canyons, and roads of Aztlan play on the monitors, he takes a moment to gaze upon his creation. "I built it in my garage," he comments to a passerby. Who knows how he got the weapons.

[OOC] Orion Corth imagines assigning it an alias would help.
[OOC] Solstis says, "meow"
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Hmm...you make an excellent point."
[OOC] Gaudile descs his plastic volcano and starts entering.
Drake Sunfire enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Cinnamon shall brb.
Zero enters the Fort York Expo Center.
Cut Man has left.

Cerveau stands amidst the machines of his booth, apparently checking various computer systems and occasionally glancing at a small datapad tucked under his arm. Now and then, he turns around to speak with what seems to be a Neo Arcadian soldier standing near the booth, perhaps to assist him with his presentation. As Kausmann however, Cerveau attention is drawn away from his work as he turns to watch his fellow Neo-Arcadian's rather flashy entrance. The Doctor only sighs and returns to his diagnostic check.

[OOC] Cerveau should give bundles containing weapons and NA propaganda to those who watch his display. :D
[OOC] Solar Stega hehe.
[OOC] Gaudile will watch your display, then!

Orion Corth is standing beside his display booth, making small talk with various passers-by. The odd thing is, other than the little gravi-pad beside his booth, Orion keeps checking his watch nervously. He also looks at Kausmann every few moments, vaguely suspicious of the engineer's lucidity at the moment.

        The limping Solstis wandered directly over toward his booth, settled down on a stool near the table that had a large drone on it, and closed his optics. He hummed a small melody, thinking about what he should do, and the reaction he would most likely acquire from others due to the very nature of the drone.

        Gate's brought his small booth in via hoverlift, and he directs several of his own tentacled drones to move the booth onto the ground and off the lift. Once he's sure it's all settled, he goes to the information kiosk and begins powering it up. He smiles back at Sarah and chuckles to himself. "This is going to be a special day. I can just /feel/ it."

Hector Kausmann withdraws a remote from his labcoat and clicks it on, a grid of lasers appearing from the floor around the Murder Rat itself. He turns away from his project and strolls into the expo, crossing traffic as he moves towards Orion Corth's booth. "Hey, Orion. How's it shaking?"

Drake Sunfire is totally in Orion's display booth. As the display. "Couldn't you have used my schematics or something?" The cyborg-dragon asks of Orion when a passer by finishes examining him.

Gate drops Dream Tech Limited Booth <DTL>.

Plant Man, dressed down as normally as he can for the occasion, wanders among the grand expo building. He is never undistracted, and constantly looks back and forth between the amazing booths, occasionally edging around some of the larger gadgets. And for some inexplicable reason, he is carrying around a small potted plant with blue flowers. Yeah, that's pretty much it. He's in the main hallway, headed down the direction near the main stage.

Apparently finishes his final checks, Cerveau leaves his booth in the care of the Neo Arcadian grunt who is present. The Frenchman begins walking toward Orion Corth's booth for the time being, issuing a wave as he approaches his fellow researcher.

Orion Corth looks at Hector and shrugs, "It would go better if my displa- ... ARGH!" Orion whirls around, half-glaring at Drake and half-peering. "When did you get in there? And why aren't you on the gravity pad?"

        Yeah, Orion's just a bit nervous. This is only about the third major scientific conference/expo that he's been a presenter at. Maybe not a major presenter, like people who have actual presentation times, but he does have research and developments to present here. Not to mention, he saw Cut Man's booth, so he's feeling a little on edge.

        Orion takes a deep breath before replying. "Drake, get on the gravity pad. That'll be easier for you to present yourself with. I have your schematics and even some of the early prototypes of your upgrades here. However, most people prefer to see the total package, rather than the individual pieces." He looks to Hector, shrugging a bit, "Just feeling a bit nervous about this whole thing. I'm not terribly used to presenting my stuff at major expos and such. I'm more accustomed to smaller scientific gatherings. And I certainly haven't been to a major one like this in years," he notes to Hector. And then the apparently popular BioMechanic turns to wave to Cerveau as his colleague starts over.

[OOC] Cerveau wonders, that gumbie isn't violating any rules is he?

Hector nods, his eyes moving back and forth furtively as he considers a cigarette. He already had one outside, with a bunch of huddled technicians cursing the cold Canadian weather and the anti-smoking rules, and he doubts he could get away with it inside. "Huh," Hector replies, nodding. "Say, what's your display here?"

[OOC] Orion Corth says, "Which gumbie?"
[OOC] Cerveau says, "The one who's supposed to be helping with Cerv's display(and guarding it in the meantime)"
Cut Man enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Cut Man returns from OOCness.
[OOC] Orion Corth says, "I don't see any problem with that. I mean, no one wants industrial espionage."
[OOC] Prismatic Spider giggles.

People might notice the new face on the science block suddenly walk in. Well, they'd probably see the PLASTIC VOLCANO that the half-size reploid holds first of all.

Professor Gaudile strolls into the deep, deep labrynth of people that is pre-GSTE. The volcano he wields is held by three of his extra arms on top of his head. He dodges around people as he moves towards his designated space. Once he gets to his spot, he sets the plastic volcano down on the floor, the rest of the setup still beginning to arrive.

Finally the booth is complete, including cute little holographic drone avatars wandering around and directing passersby to check out the totally awesome booth. Sarah grins at Gate, and nods eagerly. "It will be! The GSTE is always something else."

Drake Sunfire hops on the pad, and folds his claws across his chest. There, he's on display now. Happy, Orion?

Dr. Sarah Fairchild drops SPIRIT Booth.
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Haha. SPIRIT Booth."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Sorry, pep rally memories."
Blues has disconnected.
[OOC] Gaudile snickers.
Dr. Psyche enters the Fort York Expo Center.
Dr. Psyche drops Booth of Evil Genius <BoEG>.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche cackles.
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Hi Glowing Head Man! Tee hee!"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Quiet, Duck, or I'll have you killed and served with plum sauce."
[OOC] Gate says, "Yay! Psyche1"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche shows off his doctorate.
[OOC] Gate says, "..."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche =D
[OOC] Gate says, "I hate you."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Good."
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Mmm plum sauce."
[OOC] Gate says, "ALWAYS WITH THE TENURE!"
[OOC] Gate fist shakes.
[OOC] Cerveau says, "Wait, how many people here ACTUALLY have a doctorate? o_o"
[OOC] Prismatic Spider is working on his own! Muahahaa.
[OOC] Gate says, "Oh shut up spider. XD"
[OOC] Plant Man = Dr Plant Man
[OOC] Dr. Psyche is the only robot doctor.
[OOC] Gate says, "Yup."
[OOC] Prismatic Spider :P!
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "I have a doctorate!"
[OOC] Gate says, "But you're not a robot."
[OOC] Solstis snicker snacks.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Ya' see, while Gate and Prismatic were being manwhores and spitting out bebbies, I was working hard and studying."
[OOC] Prismatic Spider was working on becoming the first robot doctor!
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Oh my."
[OOC] Gate says, "..."
[OOC] Gate says, "Gaudile."
[OOC] Solstis says, "I have 7* int and I didn't even go to college. I'm a frigging genius!"
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Ha ha, losers."
[OOC] Gate says, "I propose we kill him."
[OOC] Prismatic Spider says, "I concur."
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Go for it."
[OOC] Gate says, "And then devour the remains."
[OOC] Gate says, "Then we will absorb his power."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche declares TP Immunity! Plot holes protect me!
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Never!"
[OOC] Gaudile says, "I want his glowing head for a trophy."
[OOC] Cerveau says, "Cursed plot holes!"
[OOC] Gate says, "I just want his Funk."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "I'll do my very best, Professor!"
[OOC] Gate says, "Because he dances."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche moonlights as a disco ball.
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Yes, he can dance, all right."

        Orion adjusts his tie nervously for a moment, spotting some sort of corporate science big-wig that he actually knows in the crowds. He coughs slightly, before calming a bit as the guy wanders deeper into the crowd. He looks to Drake, "Thank you, Drake. I do appreciate this." He looks to Hector again, "Oh. My cybernetics designs, like your eye or Drake's... Well, most of Drake," he replies calmly. He points toward the display prototypes of various cybernetic parts, some that Hector and Drake would recognize from their own equipment and some that they're not likely to recognize.

[OOC] Gaudile sics Cinnamon on Psyche.

Dr. Psyche has been here the entire time! Really! He was just "getting coffee" for the past three hours. And by "getting coffee", I mean he was sabotaging or stealing from other project booths in order to guarantee his sucess this year.

Not that he needs the help, but, uhm, it helps.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche pulls her hair.

        More of Professor Gaudile's setup arrives - this in the form of a sturdy folding table being carried by his lab assistant. Cinnamon carefully weaves her way through the already-assembing crowd, trying Very Carefully to not run into anyone or smack any of the already-existing setups. And she's also trying as quickly as she can to stay close on Gaudile's heels. Once arriving (without incident) at the setup area, the medical reploid kneels down carefully to unfold the table and set it up, only pausing to quietly murmur to Gaudile as they work, and hardly even glancing at the other booths nearby.

        She's quite forgettable, actually.

Cinnamon mutters to Gaudile: 'There's so -many- ... ...'.

Gaudile
Standing in your field of vision is a small platypus about three-four feet tall, painted firetruck red. His torso is pretty round for a small reploid like that, but he has a gear around his waist like a belt. Several arms poke out of his back, and from time to time they move almost independantly of his other body. Whether this is Gaudile being edgy, or his arms actually have a sense of mind, nobody knows.

Cinnamon

        (temporary desc)

http://www.planet-megaman.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=16&pos=25

The metal iris around Hector Kausmann's eye pans clockwise as Hector looks over the cybernetic display, a grin parting his lips briefly. "Aha, most excellent," Hector replies, nodding to Orion. "We've got plenty of Neo Arcadians here today!" He looks towards Cerveau, asking, "What are you showing off, Doc?"

        Solstis leaned forward, using the staff-esque ASP combination to rest his head on his hands, while he stared out at the crowd of people who were clearly not going near the giant 'Sigma Virus! Warning' stickers. He studied the others who were present, noticing that Sarah was there, as was someone else that he couldn't quite place, Cinnamon was visible yet he didn't know nor care about that person, and some others like Orion who were way off showing off some strange new cyborgs. Truly an interesting array of geniuses...alas, if only Solstis was half as good as some...and wait a second, since when was Fairchild a /genius/?

Since she could kick your ass if you argued with her.

[OOC] Cinnamon rolls.
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Heh heh."
[OOC] Prismatic Spider says, "BATTLE POP-I MEAN, SCIENTIST."
[OOC] Gate says, "We're all going to get into a giant fight."
[OOC] Gate says, "I just know it."
[OOC] Hector Kausmann has his death buggy ready.

Plant just keeps roving around, content to just take in the sights until finally he turns around and looks out at the view. But he tilts his head a little, as something catches his eye. No, it's not the fancy holograms and machines. It's the giant plastic volcano. The botanist sticks his chin in thought, and starts walking toward the stand in curiosity. He doesn't know who any of these people are, though.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Gate, this is GTSE."
[OOC] Gate says, "And then it will be LASERS A PLENTY."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Of course not!"
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "No fighting. :("
[OOC] Gate says, "I don't mean /here/."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "The Forcefielders here will raise FF and go DBZ for three rounds."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "We are civilized scientists."
[OOC] Gate says, "... pfaaahahahahaha"

As Cerveau steps into the area of Orion's booth, he smiles as he issues a greeting. "Bonjour Ome Corth, Achto Kausmann." The doctor examines Orion's display for a moment as he listens to the explanation. "Ah, and Achto Sunfire, I also didn't recognize you there." Cerveau turns to the two scientists once again, "Have either of you been to a GSTE before?", he inquiries.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "We don't fight."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "We spam."

[OOC] Dr. Psyche eyes Jazz. " Stay away from my booth, hellion. "

Jazz changes into her bikini desc!

Jazz

        Topping five, maybe even six feet tall, this charming girl seems to be in her late teens. A wide smile graces her well-proportioned, kind face, which is framed by curly blonde hair that flows down her back. She's built like an athlete, but a pretty one, somehow remaining slim while possessing enough curves turn heads and not notice. A deep tan covers her complexion, mingling very well with her hair color and the, well, vacant expression of happiness. Your typical 'blonde bombshell' type with a bit of ditz thrown in for good measure.
        Right now, she's dressed for the beach, wearing a rather bright yellow two piece string bikini. The top is a bit odd, the cups staying on the outside while being held up by thin white straps that cross an X over her collar bone, marked with a tiny pink flower, then loop over her back, and around again. The bottom rides low, but the strings rise high over her hips, though most of the time she's wearing a pair of unzipped blue short shorts. A white shirt is loosely draped over her shoulders, and an old, holey wide-brimmed straw hat tilts rakishly on her head, complete with two starbursting red flowers.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "...."
[OOC] Solstis says, "yay!"

Sarah does indeed fail to notice the ADORABLE little helper Psyche's got. She's too busy trying to convince Ignis not to set people on fire.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "It's like the Alia/Harmony catfight all over again."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, ".............maybe."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Daddy, can we go back to the lab now? ;_;"

Prismatic is standing in his booth, casually chatting and talking to passersby. The booth itself, though it lacks anything particularly theftable, is guarded by a pair of Repliforce soldiers. He may not have any obvious signs of his patronage in his display, but the military guards give people a hint.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "I have a helper, Sarah?"

Gaudile enters the Fort York Expo Center.
Cinnamon enters the Fort York Expo Center.

Dr. Psyche spots Gaudile's booth.

Which is right.
Next.
To his.
A fist clenches below the table, crushing a small radio device he had been using to monitor the gravity stage events. How does this keep happening!? How does that...that...COWARD. He steps out, moving over to the plastic volcano, arms about his chest, still hunched slightly. " Hello, GAUDILE. I take it you failed in utilizing MY discovery, without me there to guide you. A pity. " He pokes the volcano, " Maybe if you go down the street to a grade school science fair, you'll get some actual attention. "

[OOC] Gate doesn't know what he wins, but he wins....
[OOC] Gate says, "Oh damn, they came back."
[OOC] Solstis laughs.

<Public> Ebony Fox conquers the world with DISCO.

Gaudile ignores Dr. Psyche's booth. He does. Actually because of his stature he didn't even know it was there.

Oooh snap burn.

Gaudile nods at Cinnamon as he puts the volcano onto the stand. When he gets that done, he stops and mutters in Cinnamon's general direction, looking out at the crowd which is now in front of him.

Then Psyche arrives and does his spiel. Tasty tasty spiel. Gaudile remains cool "Well...what can I say? I like rocks. And plants. Look at the small palm trees around the volcano. Isn't it nice?"

[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Someday, I'm going to app a scientist who is not bitter and has never had anything stolen or stolen anything from others."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Then how is he a scientist?"
[OOC] Prismatic Spider waves!
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "...I don't know."

Zero is here. One might not expect him to be, given this is a place for the higher learning cultures more often than not, but even the red berserker needs a distraction now and then. He's currently out of his typical armor, dressed in his civies and sporting a red leather jacket at the moment, as he makes his rounds, checking out this exhibit and that one, not really showing any interest in any in particular....yet.

[OOC] Solstis points to himself. "I'm not bitter, I'm angsty."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Zero's just here for the booth girls."

Gaudile mutters to Cinnamon: 'Yes ... there ... do you ... ... booth around ...'.

[OOC] Solstis flexes.
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Coffee, tea, or milk?"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Milk."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche brow waggles.
[OOC] Zero makes like the Fonz. "Eeeey!"
[OOC] Solstis sends Dalet after Psyche.
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "Sarah is a scientit just like that, Cinnamon. She's not bitter. She' /crazy/, but shes not bitter."

        Gate looks over at Sarah. "All ready things are heating up," he muses to her, watching the interplay between Gaudille and Psyche. He doesn't recognize any of them. Must be new to the world of science. Or maybe they just haven't done anything spectacular yet, like cure the Maverick Virus.

        ... oh come on, it's ALL HE'S GOT. Let him roll in it a little longer, folks.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "...you keep your whips to yourself."

        Orion looks at Drake for a long moment, trying to decide if he's joking or not and mildly considering installing a shock collar the next time he upgrades Drake's systems. He shrugs it off after a moment and replies to Cerveau, "No. I've not been to a GSTE as a presenter before. I've only presented at two or three other expos of this size before. I've been to plenty of GSTEs and other major expos before as a visitor, though."

[OOC] Gaudile says, "You haven't stolen anything from Gate? I could've sworn..."

[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, " *die*"

Jazz appears out of /nowhere/. Usually that's Sonata's deal, but Jazz has the advantage of a crowd, whereas Zero is just a poor reploid at the mercy of the all-powerful blonde. The detective leaps to a position next to Zero, grabbing onto his arm. "Sonata couldn't come, so you're going to walk around with me, 'kay? I wanna find Rigger's booth."

[OOC] Dr. Psyche eyes Gaudile, " The one time you make a weapon, and you make a catgirl. "
[OOC] Gate says, "It's standard."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "Yeah. It's actually required by law."
[OOC] Gate says, "At least Capcom didn't stick him with HI-MAX."

[OOC] Gaudile says, "...Aw man the imagery."
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Keep in mind I'm walking past the stands to Gaud's booth."
Chest enters the Fort York Expo Center.

"This is my first," Hector replies to Cerveau, taking a moment to gaze across the displays. Pfah. Nothing here as cool as the Murder Rat. "It's a pretty awesome sight to see," he states.

Zell Tristan enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Gaudile says, "AAAAHHH PAPARAZZI."
[OOC] Orion Corth AFKs to actually prepare for the day... And, err, get food.
[OOC] Gaudile sets Chest on fire.
[OOC] Solar Stega hahaha. Beware the media.
[OOC] Orion Corth says, "Cerveau, Drake, you're in charge of Hector."
[OOC] Gate says, "Keep him housebroken."
[OOC] Hector Kausmann hides his keys.
[OOC] Orion Corth says, "Hector, don't build a robot out of my cross-sectioned cybernetics."

Sarah finally talks Ignis down, then leans back against a wall as her drones do all the talking. It's so delightful having fragments of your own consciousness plugged into semisentient drones that are able tod o your bidding. She glances over at Gate, and grins. "Yeah, they really are." Her eyes shift over to Gaudile and Psyche who are /somewhere/ nearby, apparently, and chuckles. "Huh. Wonder what that's about."

[OOC] Hector Kausmann turns Drake Sunfire into a jeep warrior.

Zero blinks as Jazz appears and...grabs onto his arm. "I..." Of course she's not letting him get a word in edgewise. "...you..." It's hopeless. "...but..."

After a few more moments, he sighs, and essentially surrenders. "...well I was lookin around anyway. As for Rigger I don't think she's here yet."

Cerveau nods, "Yes, these expos are always quite interesting. And I might say I owe something to them, for this is where I first met Dr. Ciel who eventually brought me to Atzlan." Cerveau goes nostalgic for a moment, apparently remembering those days. "Of course they're weren't nearly as many...mechanical researchers here at that time." Cerveau frowns for a moment as he glances towards the bickering white reploid and the platypus, until he hears Hector's comment.
"Oh? Perhaps my display will change your mind, I believe you'll find it quite spectacular."

Infinity Mijinion enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Cerveau says, "OHCRAP MAVERICK."
[OOC] Infinity Mijinion says, "Hey, how far into the scene are we?"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "There's no real scene."

Jazz pouts briefly, "She isn't? I wanna see what she did for her science project."

[OOC] Cerveau hees. "Not far, mainly just personal small scenes at the moment.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "More of an ongoing spam fest."
[OOC] Solstis nods.
[OOC] Solstis is all set up and seated at his booth.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "I have no idea what to really do, except look around."
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Mmm spam."

Cinnamon doesn't notice Dr. Psyche's booth either - and even if she had, she wouldn't recognize him. At the Professor's whisper, she raises her head and begins looking around, and only notices Psyche when he gets to poking the volcano, obviously furious, at least to her. Uh-oh.

        But - Gaudile probably knows how to handle him; nothing violent could happen at the GSTE without cops intervening. And if he wants to just try and spoil the day - well, good luck with -that-! Cinnamon actually smiles at that thought; today is most certainly going to be a great day for the world. So she stands back up once the display is complete; hovering near Gaudile but not intervening. Instead - Plant Man gets her attention, as he wanders nearer to the stand, and another friendly smile and wave.

[OOC] Cerveau says, "Gate and Sarah, Gaudile and Psyche, the Neo-Arcadians, etc."
[OOC] Zero switches comps. BRB.

Hector grins at Cerveau. "I hope so." He looks left and right, before slipping a hand into his labcocat. Suddenly, he has an urge to wet his tongue. He takes a long draught from a flask he furtively pulls out of his coat, before slipping it away, his right eye moving back and forth shiftily.

Zero has disconnected.
[OOC] Solstis says, "oh god"
[OOC] Solstis says, "Who let hector bring alcohol?!"

Infinity, the real one, is standing by his booth, ordering his clones around occasionally. His booth is open now to anyone who wants to view it. But, he might go an spy on the competition, mainly that Cervea he hates, although he hates Gate more.

[OOC] Cerveau says, "By now attention to the cybernetic eye and visor, no espionage here, no-siree."
[OOC] Cerveau <_< >_>
Zero has connected.
[OOC] Hector Kausmann whistles, and idly steps into the Force Metal booth.

Dr. Psyche examines the display once more with relative....boredom. And then he sees Cinnamon, " Replacing me with a pretty young lab assistant, I see? You were always too lazy to get any of the HARD work done. Or is this one of those mid life crisis things? In which case, I highly approve of your.....selection in how to deal with it. " Psyche nudges Guadile with his elbow.

" Pity you'll never be a scientist of MY calibur and vision, but at least you've got some eye candy. "

        "Hi Infinity!" Solstis called out, as he waved from his booth over toward the far smarter weapons designer. While they both had a similar job, Solstis knew that Infinity was far far better than him...and he also wondered why Infinity hadn't plastered little warning stickers all over his booth so people would know that he had the Sigma Virus..?

[OOC] Gaudile sics Cinnamon on Kausmann.
[OOC] Zero says, "Much better."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Yet another reploid who needs a '<person> SAYS KILL' attack?"

Plant finally approaches the odd, unconventional stand (that does look like something out of a 5th grade science fair), although he's also looking at Dr. Psyche and his stand and blinking. Apparently they must be rivals, or something. Kind of reminds him of his father. To Cinnamon, he smiles back, and then gets to examining the booth. "I wonder what this is supposed to be," he murmurs to himself.

[OOC] Gate snickers.
[OOC] Gate says, "I can't believe that a single comic I drew started that."
Dr. Sirius Viper enters the Fort York Expo Center.
Dr. Sirius Viper has left.
[OOC] Cerveau says, "Is anyone actually banned from the GSTE?"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Not to my knowledge."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "I don't believe so?"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Scott might be, for, y'know, attacking it."

"She'll probably be along at some point before long." Zero states to reassure Jazz. Maybe he's getting more than a few glances given Jazz's state of dress. Zero would wager most of them are jealous. "Uh, so....just, getting comfortable or..." He comments, trying not to -look- at her in the process. Midning his P's and Q's he is.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "But otherwise, it's free game."
[OOC] Plant Man minds Zero's Ps.

        Gate leans over and whispers to Sarah.

        "Old married couple, I bet." He nods sagely.

[OOC] Cerveau dies.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche ...
[OOC] Solar Stega hehehehe.

Warning stickers are for losers. Plus, Fini wants everyone to think he's a 100% sane, caring, loving, non-evil scientist. One of his clones waves back to Solstis. "Ah, Solstis, I see you've got your booth up and running by yourself..." says another Infinity, who appears next to him. His tone has a hint of condescension. Meanwhile the real Infinity goes off to look at other people stuff, and chat with other scientists, while the others run the booth (feel free to visit it).

Drake Sunfire just grins at Orion. He doesn't say anything else. He just grins. Because he likes annoying Orion whenever he gets the chance to do so.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Oh, Gate, would you like to join me in the DOCTOR'S lounge for a dri-oh, that's right."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "YOU'RE A DIRTY GRADUATE STUDENT."

Chest and his pet drone, Camera, scoot on into the giant expo centre. The GNN bossman whistles to himself as he pulls out and lights up a new cigar. "Impressive," He says through teeth that are now clenched around said cigar. Camera whistles abd beeps back, though what exactly he says is impossible to decipher. As Chest hovers towards the huge mob of booths with crazy scientists showing off their craziness, it should be very clear that the short businessman is off duty. Or at least as off duty as he can get. Through the power of coincidence, the first booth he comes across is INFINITY MIJINION's. Chest takes a puff on his cigar and leans in, careful not to actually tough the booth. He'll pass on the side order of Sigma Virus, thanks. "What've you got here?" he asks the flea manning the booth, whether that be Infinity or one of his drones.

Dr. Matthews enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Gaudile says, "You should so bring Hyenard in without the filter to run interference on Psyche's booth, Gate."
Dr. Matthews drops Dr. Julie Matthews Booth.
[OOC] Dr. Matthews whistles.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche will sadly get along with him. I have very low CHA
[OOC] Solstis says, "Due to your evilness?"

Jazz giggles, swatting Zero's arm. "What do you mean, comfortable? I'm always comfortable! Everyone's so uptight, that's why noone ever wants to go to the beach or anything." She doesn't notice Zero's nervousness, mostly because Zero is Sasha's property. And kind of a brother. More like a cousin. Maybe more like Rock's roommate. Except they don't share a room.
Do they?

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "No, just for being an asshole."

Except Zero doesn't belong to Sasha, that's got reset to a clean slate. Cancel that part out. :O

[OOC] Cerveau says, "So, will there be a designated time to show off full fledged demonstrations?"
[OOC] Zero LOL.

Cinnamon tucks a couple stray strands of hair away from her eyes with a smile (and YES she's IGNORING DR. PSYCHE who is a MEANIE and is also very CRASS). "Hi! This is Professor Gaudile's display; it's a demonstration of miniature mechaorganics. All the information and specs are down here - " she gestures to a myriad stack of on-paper schematics and statistics, as well as a datapad for the more technologically enhanced.

        And - then she just kind of stands there, smiling a bit shyly. That's really all the information she can -give-, because she doesn't have a darn clue about most of Gaudile actually has accomplished; just a basic understanding. You'll have that, when you've only had two days to study them and you're not a scientist yourself - but she's still trying!

Roll has left.

It takes the reploid waterduck a moment to realize what Psyche meant by the midlife crisis thing.

This moment hasn't happened yet.

"I wouldn't call her a lab assistant, but yes, she does help me with some things. ANd what do you mean HARD work? I wouldn't call 'stunning' speeches and propaganda to be hard work."

Then the moment comes. Gaudile goes apecrap. "WHAAAAAAAATT?"

A bright, cheery whistling cuts through the crowded arena. And is likely drowned out in some areas but that doesn't stop the whistler. Dr. Matthews strolls with a veritable bounce in her step towing a small cart behind her towards her slated area for a booth. Currently she wears a trenchcoat. Once she gets to her booth however and has the mechanised cart park itself to display it's contents in the corner, and she spreads out several dozen pamphlets on the booth's table, she turns to face the crowd. A deep breath is taken and she slips out of the trench revealing her new bathingsuit. "... I'm so going to regret this," she mutters while allowing herself to finally take a good look at the other booths around.

[OOC] Dr. Matthews throws her own lot in.
[OOC] Gate pats Psyche. "You're just upset because I have a beautiful girlfriend and Gaudille has a beautiful daughter, and all you have for yourself are some old, sticky copies of Linux Digest and a disco ball for a head."

        The Infinity to Chest replies, "My latest and successful inventions this year. For instance, take a look at this beauty..." he says. He grabs a can, labeled 'Tornado in a Can!', one of the more notable inventions here. "See?" he says, showing the label to Chest. "By pointing and opening one end at an enemy or enemies, a small tornado of air will be shot at them!"
        The real Infinity meanwhile walks, occasionally exchanging words with some other scientists, until...he sees him. Gate. The human-sized daphne walks up to him. "Well well, hello there, FRIEND Gate!" he sneers. A sneer with Infinity's rather annoying voice is not a good combination.

[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild buttwiggles for emphasis.
[OOC] Cinnamon does as well. Oh my.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche stares at Gate.
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild, bad influecne.

Zero blinks, and then raises a hand, even with a finger pointed upright. "Well I think people are usually too -busy- or something but..." He pauses then, frowning. "...well I was off for awhile so...I guess I can't say much there." He trails off, pausing to glance at one display they pass by, before he catches a certain movement out of the corner of his eye. "Ah ha..." He taps Jazz's bare arm and gestures to Rigger. "There's your competition...."

[OOC] Gaudile looks up at the daughter that is almost twice his size. "That's a bad...er..."
[OOC] Solstis says, "This is definitely more about boothgirls than the booths XD"
[OOC] Gaudile shuffles away.
[OOC] Solstis should've grabbed Sylpheed to show off at his booth.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Every nerd convention is."
[OOC] Dr. Matthews says, "It usually is. That's why I'm my own booth babe now. u.u"
[OOC] Cinnamon hands out free samples?
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Hubba hubba."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche SPITAKES.
[OOC] Gate says, "I love you all. XD"

Sarah's eyes bug, and she suppresses an outright belly-laugh, toning it down to a more subdued, but still quite audible, giggle at Gate's comment. "They do act like it!"

[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "I have holographic boothgirls. I'm a dirty cheater."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Or just plain dirt."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "er, dirty."
[OOC] Solstis is probably the only male here who doesn't gawk ICly at half-naked women.
[OOC] Cinnamon is fully-dressed, thank you!
[OOC] Dr. Psyche doesn't. I gawk at circuit specs.
[OOC] Dr. Matthews says, "Sarah? Why do all your booth girls look like Gate in a bikini?"

Chest looks at the can and grunts, "Yeah, that's really impressive. Don't suppose you have anything that isn't a weapon? I dunno, maybe a tornado that's used to clear out rubble after a battle..." He gestures to the Scream Gun and the Swiss Army Sword. "Maybe a pacifier stun weapon for law enforcement, or a swiss medical device for field paramedics." He looks up at Infinity, and then glances across at who the /other/ (real) Infinity is speaking to. Ahhh, Gate. Good ol' Gate.

[OOC] Solstis says, "Oooo nice Psyche"
[OOC] Gaudile spawned, so he doesn't need to anymore.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "..."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "Well, I mena, he's just SO attractive."
[OOC] Zero ain't gawking! I got ambushed. :(
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "You were all over her."

"Miniature mechaorganics? That sounds fascinating," Plant says, while wondering who this Professor Gaudile person is. However, the android leans over the table for a better view of all the papers and such, and turns through them with interest while he absorbs all the information contained in it.

But, at the whole 'WHAAAAAAAT' thing, Plant blinks wildly and looks up for the source of it all. ... a platypus reploid, how unique.

[OOC] Dr. Matthews says, "Yeah, probably going 'OMG your brother is going to kill me if I let you be seen in public like that!'"

        "Reminds me a bit of Berkana--" Gate's comments are cut off by the intrusion of a certain waterflea. "Ah. Infinity Mijinion. Don't you have the barrel of a shotgun to make out with?"

Gale Sorcerer enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Gaudile says, "The NC channel has ruined my mind."
[OOC] Gate says, "It will."
[OOC] Solstis turns it off due to the spam.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche came pre-ruined.
[OOC] Solar Stega is same as Sol.

"Well, anyways...I'm off to my booth. I'll see you guys around," he says, waving to Cerveau, Sunfire, and Corth, before he swaggers back over to his booth. He withdraws a remote from his pocket and turns the laser-grid around the Murder Rat off, taking up a position beside one of the video monitors as he smiles at passerby.

[OOC] Solstis says, "If I'm bored I'll turn it on..or if I want to point people to a nifty image, but otherwise off it goes ^^"
Sewa enters the Fort York Expo Center.

[OOC] Infinity Mijinion says, "Leave it at that."
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Oh."
[OOC] Gaudile is apparently the smallest person in the room.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "He just betrayed Gate, backstabbed him, you know,t he standard " I HATE YOU! *SOBCRYDOORSLAM* " stuff."
[OOC] Infinity Mijinion was a maverick spy.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "You're so tiny."
[OOC] Infinity Mijinion says, "I recruited Ground and Metal."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Again, you betrayed him."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "We've all read the book, seen the movie, bought the Cliff's Notes."
[OOC] Dr. Matthews chuckles.
[OOC] Plant Man gets foods.
[OOC] Gaudile hasn't seen the movie!
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Cliff's Notes were nice, though."
[OOC] Infinity Mijinion says, "Alright, alright, drop it."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche is joking, Fini ;)

Jazz stands up on her tiptoes to look in the direction Zero indicates, spotting Rigger a few seconds later. "Oh! There she is! RIIIGGERRRR! HIIII!" The detective leaps up and down, waving her free arm wildly in an attempt to get the doctor's attention. Finally she just decides to go /over/ there, tugging on Zero to drag him along.

[OOC] Plant Man says, "Poor Zero."

Cinnamon nods cheerfully. "Oh, it is, and it's amazing how they still work on such a small scale. It could be a wonderful source of sola--"

        Oh my.

        "Excuse me for a moment," Cinnamon smiles apologetically to Plant Man. Then she bounces over to Gaudile, grabbing onto one of the tiny professor's arms. "Professor! There's someone over here who's -awfully- interested in your display, and you know I'm not as familiar with it as you are. I hate to interrupt you," she nods politely to Dr. Psyche, "But this will only take a second, I'm sure!"

        And whether or not he wants to be, Gaudile will find himself -quite firmly- pulled away by Cinnamon.

Cerveau salutes to Hector as he leaves, before apparently noticing something and quickly turning to Orion again. "Aren't those reploids Infinity Mijinion?" he notes rather inconspicuously to his fellow scientist.

[OOC] Cerveau says, "That ended to soon, but anyways, it works."

Sarah nods, wryly, at Gate's comment...then frowns as she catches sight of Infinity Mijinion. She wasn't really around for his Spectacularly Evil Act, but she's heard of him.

For now, she stands back...knowing this intellectual battle is not hers.

Dr. Psyche chuckles to himself. Why should he be worried about Gaudile showing him up? The guy's a fluke. A loser. No vision at all. Sure, there's a few bits here on Force Metal, but he obviously failed to grasp it in any sense. After all, if he did, he'd be showing it off.

Right?

        Fini-clone pffs. "If you want /those/ kinds of things, go over there," he says to Chest, thumbing at Solstis' booth. Meanwhile, the real one grrs at Gate. "Spar me the remarks. I heard you made a new batch of children. I have to ask, what happened? Your quality has really gone down for this generation. I mean, Flame Hyenard. Need I say more? Gweh heh heh..." he says.

"Ow my ears..." Zero comments at Jazz's yelling, wincing visibly. "...maybe you should just y-urk..!" And as such, he's tugged along by Jazz soon after. If it REALLY came down to it he could just plant his feet and stay put but, well...he's just going with the flow. How do you say no to a blonde girl in a bikini?

[OOC] Cerveau says, "I feel the sudden urge to app Lifesaver."
[OOC] Cerveau says, "And multi-scene. XD"
[OOC] Solstis says, "You poke her in the torso, Zero."
[OOC] Dr. Matthews says, "So if one Lifesaver is kissed, do the others blush?"
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Oh my."
[OOC] Infinity Mijinion says, "All of me would blush if I got kissed. Someone kiss me."
[OOC] Plant Man says, "I like to suck on Lifesavers."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche ...
[OOC] Gaudile says, "..."
[OOC] Solar Stega says, "Take it to NC D:"
Sewa drops Sewa's Booth of Awesome.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "I was talking about the candy. >:("
[OOC] Dr. Matthews has one of her chibi-Zero drones kiss Mijinion.
[OOC] Infinity Mijinion eeks.

Gaudile is about to continue the rebuttle when his vision suddenly shifts to the side several feet. When he gets to where Plant Man stands, he takes a moment to breathe deeply before doing his thing. "Hello. What can I help you with?" He blinks to get his expression back to normal, calm-like. Or as calm-like as he can get.

Chest gives Gate and the other Infinity another quick glance, but aside from that essentially ignores the trash talking between the two. He nods to the Infinity-clone and smirks, "I'll go do that. Thanks for showin' me around." As Chest hovers away from Infinity's display and towards Solstis', Camera whistles a question which goes unanswered. Finally, the billionaire reaches the tiny little section that is Solstis' display. He looks the walker up and down, obviously not having a clue what it's supposed to do. He also glances at the sign, but figures the authorities running the show wouldn't let this in if it posed much greater a danger than a normal Maverick would anyway.

[OOC] Solstis says, "Whenever I see Purifiers I always think of Juno and his purification and how Juno could be a Reploid created by HeraCorp that goes rogue."
[OOC] Cerveau thinks of Dash.

        Solstis was almost falling asleep by the time that someone actually came up and braved the evil Sigma Virus signs, and smiled openly while leaning back on his stool. "Hello!" he said, waving one hand...and then realizing it was Chest, and frowning. He shrugged though, and grabbed a small pamphlet that was lying on a table, which he offered toward Chest. "It's nice to see that journalism is intrigued by this. Ask any question that you may have, Chest, I do not mind answering them. Please try to keep it pertaining to the Expo and what I have brought, though...I'd rather not talk about anything else."

It was rather hard to miss Jazz's jubilant greeting. Rigger glances in the direction of her fellow Hunters as one drags the other along while grinning in a friendly manner. "Nice suit, Jazz. I never could get up the nerve to wear a bikini." A hand pats to her stomach as she gives a quick laugh. "But then no one wants to see where Hien stabbed me, anyway." She risks stepping away from her booth to sidle up on the other side of Zero brazenly looping her arm through his so that he's effectively pinned. Her grin merely deepens. At just this time the images on her suit shift to show a videogame character get taken out with a headshot. "So! Are you two having fun?"

Plant just keeps going through the specifications and fancy papers and graphs and charts outlining parts, and then looks back up as the medical reploid excuses herself. He nods, and then his vision moves over to the aforementioned platypus. He blinks. Wait, /that/ is the professor? Reminding himself that appearance is not always the best judgement, the android smiles down at Gaudile. "I am just looking through this... what exactly are the mechaorganics about?" He gives an expectant look.

[OOC] Dr. Matthews whistles. Muahahahaha.
[OOC] Gaudile fires up the BS Generator.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Yay for technobabble."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Please do. You didn't build me with one, remember."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "One our finer inventions."
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Yes."
Tornado Onion enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Yo, Tornado G."
[OOC] Solar Stega says, "Heya Onion. :D"

        Orion blinks a few times, glancing at the water fleas and then at Cerveau, "Perhaps. I'm not exactly up on my reploid scientists or technological researchers, I'm afraid," he replies calmly. The BioMechanic has been busily explaining the exact potential of a partial limb fluid-motion battery system for cyborgs.

[OOC] Tornado Onion says, "Hey Stega, Hey Plant."
[OOC] Cerveau says, "Hey Gate? How long have you ICly been around?"

Chest takes the brochure gingerly, touching it by the corners as if it might somehow infect him. Chest nods at Solstis' comments and requests, "I'm here on my day off. Someone else'll actually be covering the event. I'll be sure to bug you about real events at another time, then." He says, absently waving a hand as he reads the brochure. Camera beeps something at that, to which Chest scowls and mutters, "Shut it, you twit." Finally setting the pamphlet back down on the booth's table, Chest gestures towards the walker doohicky. "So what's this thing do, anyhow? Looks like a normal drone."

Sewa walks along this way and that, and doesn't really say hey to any Hunters or anything. She looks at the displays, and seems to actually look interested in the RECYCLING tech of all things. Why Recycling tech? Well, recycling plays a very important role in the continued construction of repoids, as well as resource management and so on. The Reploid Power Armor looks AWESOME, of course, and volcanos are always nifty except when one is erupting near you, but she'll look at the other projects -later-.

Jazz smiles broadly, embracing Matthews in a hug before she has a chance to do any of that other stuff in her pose. "Oh, fooey. I can't think of another Hunter who wears anything other than a one-piece. Besides, /I/ think you'd look good." Then, she notices that Rigger's suit is... moving. Like, it's some sort of bathingsuittelevision. She gasps, "Ohmigod that's so cool! I've got to buy one of those! Where'd you get it?" Yeah, no time to read what Rigger's booth is about.

Gaudile takes a moment. He has papers and stuff, but none of it can really be all that easy to tell the random person on the street. Granted, they're not on the streets and Plant Man may or may not be that random person, but he tries to be simple anyway, perhaps for his sake as well as anyone listening. "You've heard of artificial flowers, right?" It takes a moment before he realizes that Plant Man himself /is/ an artificial flower himself. Gaudile cringes slightly but otherwise says nothing to fix the situation.

Gaudile has disconnected.

Dr. Psyche listens in quietly from his booth, chuckling to himself at Gaudile's ineptitude in dealing with people. Psyche, of course doesn't have that problem. Really. Sure, he leers pervertedly at Sewa as she passes, but otherwise, he's a complete gentlemen.

After examining the mass of water fleas for a few moments, Cerveau turns back towards Orion. "Well, I should likely get my display going now." Cerveau waves as he walks back toward his display, in the process giving the Neo Arcadian soldier there a sign to get ready.

Gaudile has connected.

Tornado Onion enters the Expo center, interested by some of the things he heard over the radio, and other things that have been promised to be here. He looks over the the huge amount of things happening and the expanse of people this way and that, making him dizzy, this being quite an unusual feeling despite him being built able to spin quite well. He sits down for a moment at the first possible bench, and if he could not find it, out of the way in a corner. "Hehe...so much..."

Durandal enters the Fort York Expo Center.

Solar Stega is one of the many random people walking around the expo looking at stuff. It's all quite impressive to her -- the volcano left her a bit puzzled, and she's hoping to run into an explanation of some sort sometime. But regardless of how much she understands the stuff, it's a good, fun distraction from the recent events in San-An, and that's what she really wanted.

[OOC] Gaudile says, "...I hate my connection. Did you guys get my pose?"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Yep."
[OOC] Plant Man says, "I did."
[OOC] Gaudile nods, then.

Dr. Sarah Fairchild, in her booth near Gate's, a bit past Solstis's, and apparently in visual range of Gaudile's and Psyche's, and frowning at Infinity with enough force to /turn coal to diamond./ But she doesn't speak. It could only possibly make the situation worse.

        Orion nods sagely to Cerveau, "Alrighty then. Hopefully everything'll go well today." he replies calmly. He gives a wave to Cerveau and then returns to paying close attention to the attendees of his booth, glancing at Drake every so often.

Hector's right eye shift back and forth as the iris around his left eye pans slightly, watching for potential people to hock the Murder Rat to. He intends to sell it to the Neo Arcadia eventually, but some bidders might always make him look good. This isn't an arms expo, but hey, who's going to stop him?

        "Yes, it does look like a normal drone...because it originally was one that I acquired and modified," Solstis said, as he smiled and looked so happy that someone had actually asked him something that it was almost disgusting. "The simple fact is that the drone is a walking and simplified version of my own weapon system. As some people who have encountered me know, I dislike killing and as such I have modeled myself after a series of non-lethal weapons and defenses. The drone is armed with a sensor system in the front that allows it to scan a target that it is ordered to attack, which in turn tells it if it's a robot or a Human."
        "However," Solstis said, as he leaned over and tapped lightly on the top of the drone, which caused parts of it to move out from the rest of the body...lots of parts. That looked like guns. "The average drone itself usually carries a very simplistic weapon system or none at all, and as such I opted to customize it with weapons that I comprehend fully. As you can see, it is armed with a massive array of masers, lower-end ones of course. As if that isn't enough, I also made certain to stick in an acoustic rifle, a tear gas dispenser which has RCA CSX2 and my personal favorite, a cannon that shoots out a beam of light at a target to blind it."
        "That isn't everything though," Solstis admitted, even as the objects on the drone moved back in, and he pushed another hidden button, that caused the drone to slowly lower down and half of the body to swing forward, resembling a strange type of cannon. "This weapon system is fully deactivated, so don't worry. I doubt they would've let me anywhere in here if I kept it running. It's a cannon that emits the Sigma Virus, causing the robotic brain to suffer slightly and have to spend time contending with the virus, thus negating them temporarily. In this day and age it is a very potent weapon, due to the fear and apprehension around the virus itself."

[OOC] Solstis is spammy.
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "agh"

Zero keeps eyes front the whole time, even as Rigger moves to grab onto his other arm. He -almost- sighs, but dosen't quite do so. What with all of Jazz's interest, he too glances at the moving images, and opens his mouth, ALMOST about to say something.

Wisdom prevails however, and the first thing that had come to his mind to say is quickly cut off as he quite visibly shuts his mouth, substituting it with something else. "Looks good."

Cinnamon takes a step back again, still hovering behind Gaudile, still smiling, but looking perhaps a bit plasticy about it. The expo center is getting more and more full... and yes, it's a good day, and she's here with Gaudile, but it still makes her a little bit uncomfortable. But Gaudile must be too - and if he can do it, then so can she!

        Green eyes flickering sideways, she catches Dr. Psyche's leer and makes a little mental note of it.

[OOC] Zero coulda got in sooo much trouble.

Plant Man bobs his head in a nod, and shifts the little potted flower, which growls and then spits out some seeds all over the table, in his hand while the other one slowly slides off from the papers he was formerly perusing. "Yes, I've heard of mechplants. I deal with the science of plants myself, but not those fused with robotics," he says eagerly but then quiets down to allow the professor to explain some more.

[OOC] Gaudile says, "...When did Psyche leer?"
[OOC] Solstis says, "Isn't he always leering? XD"
[OOC] Gate says, "BRB"
[OOC] Plant Man says, "He has them child molestor eyes."

[OOC] Plant Man never played CM so who knows.
[OOC] Sewa says, "No wonder he wants Cinnamon so badly."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Oh my."
Isaac enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Dr. Matthews says, "Awwww, but getting into trouble is what Zero's do best!"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche sagenods.
[OOC] Isaac tackles Gate.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "I am THE dirty old reploid."
[OOC] Plant Man says, "HA ha ha."

Chest is hoping to visit all of the booths tonight, as tough as that may seem to be. But we won't bother telling Solstis that, since he seems so happy to have someone take an interest in his modified drone. "Yeah, I've heard about your pacifism. Doesn't really work all that well in the Coalition, though, from what I hear." Camera whistles an agreement. "Speaking of which, what ever /did/ happen when you failed to kill someone? What'd Sigma do exactly?"
        Regardless of the answer, Chest reaches over and gives the drone a poke like someone might kick the tires of a car just to make sure it isn't going to fall over. "Would be nice if the entire Coalition used non-lethal weapons like this. Phew, just think of the lives that could be saved." Chest shakes his head in wonder at such an unlikely dream. This isn't quite the non-weapons that Infinity said that Solstis would have, but it's better than nothing at least. At the mention of the bizarre Sigma Virus cannon, Chest grunts and mutters something under his breath. He doesn't ask about it, though.

Roll enters the Fort York Expo Center.

        While the real Infinity confronts Gate, other Infinities go to other booths. One hangs around Cerveau's booth, watching it carefully. He's read up on Cerveau, and knows his accomplishments. He watches him as he comes forward. "So. You are Cerveau," he says, putting on a 'guarded but nice' facade.
        Yet another clone goes to Psyches booth and looks at the charts and diagrams of the Power Armor. "Impressive," he says to Psyche, as he is nearby this scientist. "Can you give me any details on this creation?"

Dr. Matthews is quick to laugh at Jazz's interest in her bathingsuit. See? She knew it'd get attention! Satisfied with Zero's stiff compliment she leans in to give the Hunter commander a quick peck on the cheek. Just to further make him nervous. A wink is cast towards Jazz afterwards. "I made it. See?" She gestures towards her booth while explaining (knowing full well Jazz likely wouldn't read it due to boring sciencey terms), "It's a material that lets you display recorded sequences on it. Could be TV, could be other things. I decided not to bother trying to come up with weapons or crowd-control this year. Everyone else always beats me on that stuff."

The guard posted at Cerveau's both steps forth from a small dressing room-like area shortly after Cerveau arrives back in his booth, clothed in the "suit" which was previously located inside the large tube below the display's sign. Cerveau moves to the console as his assistance appears, pressing a few buttons and causing the large machinery clustered around the booth to roar to life.

One might notice that Cerveau's booth is rather large, requiring a significant amount of extra funding to acquire. But with the nature of the display, it was necessary to convince El Presidente to allocate the funds for such a venture.

[OOC] Tornado Onion says, "I'll be riiiight back-.-"
Tornado Onion has disconnected.
[OOC] Cerveau says, "Ack, didn't see Fini's pose soon enough."
Tornado Onion has connected.

[OOC] Cerveau says, "Alright."
[OOC] Tornado Onion says, "RAWR^^"
[OOC] Tornado Onion says, "I'm the perfect shape and dress to be one Plant, thats the sad part."
[OOC] Gate sighs. Spouse was having me make up a grocery list in the middle of this.

        "Now Chest, I did ask you to not talk about things outside of this wonderful little Expo...but I'll humor you. This time. Sigma never did anything to me about my distaste for killing," Solstis said, and was being utterly and completely honest when it pertained to that. He then hit a few more buttons on the drone and the object merely reconfigured back into the normal mode, which was quite ordinary and uninteresting looking. "And I live an idealistic life where I wish everyone used non-lethal weapons, actually. The death that we must see is pointless, and the death that is caused by /everyone/ makes my heart ache much like it did long ago before I joined the Coalition. I know this isn't an amazing little device, but the fact is that I consider it the first step toward the Coalition altering from lethal to non-lethal weaponry."

Cinnamon mutters to Gaudile: 'Do ... ... ... stool or ... I ... ... get ... ... it ...'.

[OOC] Sewa says, "Do you need more time to do that, Gate?"
[OOC] Gate will be paused for a few more minutes.

Dr. Psyche is broken from is stares of lust at others by the Mijinion's approach. Snapping out of it, he turns, " Wha...? Oh, oh, yes, of course! " He arches his fingers together, wiggling them in evil excitement at explaining his 'masterpiece'. " You are familiar with the basic concept of power armor, are you not? " Of course, the sea flea gets no chance to answer.

" Well, it is the idea of a powerful suit of weaponry which enhances it's wearer in combat, similiar to armor modes within a reploid. HOWEVER, power armor suits can be mass produced, and worn by anyone with appropriate training. Much, much more efficient than building a combat reploid army, or trying to use Ride Armors all the time. Do you follow? "

[OOC] Solstis loves mutter.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "From 'his', rather."

Gaudile nods at Plant. "Yes, this is similar. You've got your mechaforests and stuff like that. But those trees only look like it and perhaps might have some qualities of trees. These, however, you can plant as seeds and grow yourself. They grow half again as long as normal plants, but they need a fourth of the nutrients to maintain. I would attempt to perform a demonstration, but it would take way too long to show results." As nifty as mechanical plants were to Gaudile, they were but a decoy. A decoy to unleash on the unsuspecting expogoers at large. As Cinnamon mutters to him, he turns from Plant for a moment to mutter back.

[OOC] Sewa says, "crap, lost my pose"
[OOC] Sewa says, "oh no wait, I didn't"

Gaudile mutters to Cinnamon: '... ... ... ... Oh and just ... ... ... ... was ... ... in ... ... after all. 'Tis ... ... head ... glowing.'.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "STOP TALKING ABOUT ME! ;.;"
[OOC] Cinnamon beams innocently.
[OOC] Orion Corth laughs.
[OOC] Gaudile is evil.
[OOC] Gaudile also just now realized that he is a dirty dirty waterfowl.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche is the real good guy, Gaudile just manipulates everyone into thinking he's good.

As fate would have it, Jazz is actually quite smart. Smarter than many Hunters, in fact. That's just a secret. So, she quickly looks over the booth, eyes still starry with the possibilities of televisionclothes, and then nods again, "I'm definately buying some! That's /so/ cool!" Jazz glances towards Matthews just as she pecks Zero on the cheek, and gets a sly look in her eyes for a moment. In her best I Want Something voice (she's pretty good at it, yay dictator-level charisma), she says, "Hey Zero. Why don't you switch into your Arcadian armor? You've got to help out too, y'know!"

[OOC] Solstis says, "Thong thong thong thong!"

Sewa takes a holographic scan of the Recycling object in his booth. It might be useful later to incorporate into other projects. Either way she soon steps away without really talking to Gate. She'll do that when there's more time. Recycling is cool but it won't result in 8 reploids going crazy and trying to take over the world.

        Sewa is, of course, wrong. She forgot about the Planeteers. Dadadadadun! CAPTAIN PLANET! HE'S A HERO! HE'S GONNA BRING POLUTION DOWN TO ZERO! 'I'll get you for this planet!' Sewage Shark says in Sewa's head. Hehehehe.

        So she heads to the Power Armor exhibit next. Poor Gaudille! But frankly, the decoy is working, though she glances towards Gaudile and Cinnamon for a moment thoughtfully during her approach to Psyche. She looks to Psyche at the tail-end of his report and adds, "Seems like it could be used as a replacement for battle-reploid designs, allowing reploids to be soldiers without building them specifically for such."

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "...and the tradition of Booth Boys begins."
Cerveau has reconnected.
Cerveau has partially disconnected.
[OOC] Solstis thinks if there were Booth Boys more girls wouldn't mind going to cons.
[OOC] Gaudile says, "And the world was never the same."
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Sewage Shark makes an excellent villian!"
[OOC] Cinnamon approves. I MEAN

Chest smiles as Solstis relents on his earlier request of not answering questions about non-Expo things. "Nothing? Huh, well, I suppose my inside source might have been wrong about that." Chest's smile in this case is rather all-knowing and smug, so it's clear he thinks he knows something that Solstis might not. "But back to the walker... do you think the Coalition'll ever actually /use/ a drone like this? I mean in normal military operations. Not just for you and your own personal missions." Chest gestures again towards the walker, "This thing is all fine and dandy, but if it's never used in regular combat than it's sort of a wasted effort. Know what I'm saying?" Chest takes another puff of his cigar.

        "Uwee hee hee," goes the Fini at Psyche's booth, Kefka laughing. All the other ones do too, at once, even the one at Cerveau's booth. "I build and design Power Armors and Ride Armors myself," he says to Psyche. Two mad geniuses, it's a beautiful thing. He regards Sewa as she puts in her comment. He, too, has read about her.

[OOC] Gate can hear the whispers too, this is hiliarious.
Zell Tristan goes home.
Zell Tristan has left.
[OOC] Infinity Mijinion says, "We should team up against Gate and Gaudile, Psyche."
Cyber Peacock enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "But you'd be teaming up against Gate nd Gaudile, and their girlfriend and daughter, respectively."
[OOC] Gate says, "...."
[OOC] Gate says, "Sarah."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "And I strongly suspect the girls are scarier."
[OOC] Gate says, "Restrain me please."

        "Chest, please stop trying to talk about Coalition business at this. If you want to converse about Coalition business specifically I can always meet up with you at later date," Solstis said, as he leaned forward and settled his chin on his hands again, looking very tired all of a sudden...and glancing in the direction of Matthews, Zero and Jazz. Odd trio...though those three girls sure looked cute. "I suppose that'll be all for now? Take pictures if you want, I don't mind."

[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "--OK!"
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild puts Gate on a leash.
[OOC] Cyber Peacock says, "Hello, boys and girls."

Cinnamon nods to Gaudile, and maintains her position. Smile, wave, nod, and avoid all the Dirty Old Reploids. And slowly get more and more nervous. Cinnamon starts fidgeting with her hands a bit.

[OOC] Cinnamon must idle for 5-10.
[OOC] Gate flails at Cyber Peacock, foaming at the mouth.
[OOC] Prismatic Spider says, "Hello, Princess."

Psyche nods vehemently, " Yes, yes, but you must understand, this is DIFFERENT from standard power armros. ANY reploid trained in it's operation can use it. It isn't unique or specific to any particular reploid the way standard armors are, nor is it unwieldy an unmanagable the way Ride Armors can be. Of course, for larger specimens, one may have to create a different line of armors...but don't you see? It can be mass produced effectively and cheaply! Just think, an army of standard reploids, not originally built for combat, capable of donning the suit and becoming a terror upon the field of battl! " He throws his hands skywards at this last part.

" It's glorious! Just glorious! "

[OOC] Gaudile says, "Hello other hacker bird."
[OOC] Cinnamon goes into autopilot. *boop*
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Oh crap, it's the guy whose brain I kidnap-er, I mean, Hi, have we met?"

Plant listens up to Gaudile's explanation of mechplants and such, occasionally nodding with interest. It still doesn't explain the plastic volcano, though. "I see..." he says, and then grunts a little as apparently his little pet plant /really/ wants to take a walk, as it starts tugging itself out from its soily prison. "Er, excuse me.." he mutters, and then carefully pinches one of the plant's flowers. It makes a whistling noise and then sways around. In the meanwhile he glances over at Infinity and Psyche.

[OOC] Durandal puts five dollars on Scientar Pladyroo. Any takers?
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Fifty."
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Pladyroo?"

Zero blinks and suddenly looks more than a little bit....trapped. Not so much from the peck, but from Jazz' words. "Ahhhh, I think I might have to...uh, get it polished or something. Yeah. I was getting it worked over after the last time I was using it...that's it."

[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "...that's the best MM-style name EVER."

Gate narrows his eyes at Infinity. "I've still be doing work. What do you have to show for the last few years, flea?" It's all he can do to keep from tighbeaming a few pain codecs into the annoying little insects.

[OOC] Zero unfortunately is trapped in RL too at this moment. Company has showed up en masse. :P

[OOC] Solstis says, "Ooooo"

"Oui, I am Gerard Cerveau. Infinity Mijinion I presume?" the doctor replies to the recently appeared at his booth. "If you would, please stand back as my display is about to begin." Cerveau gives a sign to his assistant now, and presses a final button upon the console. Suddenly, electricity begins to crackle around the concealed form of Cerveau's assistant for a few moments, before Cerveau begins narrating to those watching the display:

"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present the invention that may very well revolutionize mankind's role in heavy labor!"

[OOC] Zero is sure there'll be plenty of times yet. :)
[OOC] Sewa says, "(I think it's in her +newsfiles!)"
[OOC] Zero runs away for now though.
Zero has disconnected.
[OOC] Dr. Matthews grins.

Tornado Onion stands up after a while after examining all of the shows being shown, looking around where to start. The walking metal Onion heads to Plant's booth at first, probably having something to do with him also being of plant base. He looks at the booth near plant and smile's also looking around the area. He watches as Plant deals with the smaller plant, it tugging and then after the touch moving back and forth.. He doesn't talk to Plant. but then looks over to Cerveau when he speaks.

[OOC] Plant Man says, "It's not my booth."
[OOC] Gate punches Psyche.
[OOC] Gate says, "My name has MEANING."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "Yes. You are the gate...to our destr--salvation."

[OOC] Gate picks up Sarah and carries her off.
[OOC] Cerveau says, "Don't talk back to you mom Onion. ;_;"
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Oh my."

Dr. Matthews allows herself a bit of a self-indulgent pout when Zero runs off. Looking towards Jazz she merely shrugs in an 'oh-well' manner. "Maybe we'll get him next time. Slippery bugger, them Zeros are," she states in a rather Crocodile Hunter lilt. Rather than bemoan his loss she offers her arm out towards Jazz in a gentlemanly fashion. Even if she wasn't one. "Shall we go peruse the other booths, Jazz? I'd like to see what's over at that Coalition one myself. I'll understand if you'd rather avoid it."

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "She's not his REAL mommy!"
[OOC] Cerveau flees.
[OOC] Gaudile covers Cinnamon's eyes again.

Durandal drops Durandal's Kinetic Assault Booth Of nonOpressive Mutililation <KABOOM>.

[OOC] Tornado Onion says, "...yeah^^!....erm ....-.-"

Chest arches an optical ridge. "It's about your device there, son." He says, giving the walker another gesture. "But if it's classified whether or not this thing will ever actually be /used/, then so be it." Chest shrugs as if it's no skin off his back. "Good luck pitching it to Sigma." He says, rotating around on his hoverpad and scooting off. The next booth that everyone's favorite GNNer happens to come across?
        Chest snorts as he peers at the huge Reploid power armour of PSYCHE's. "Geez... didn't /anyone/ make something that isn't a weapon of some sort?" he asks, leaning in to read the information about the device. He skips the technical stuff and just reads the summaries. Chest glances over at Psyche's speech. He rolls his eyes at the idea of normal, non-combat robots becoming a 'terror upon the field of battle'.

[OOC] Gate devours Psyche's brain.

Jazz waves to Zero, not bothering to say goodbye because, hey, Zero runs fast. Must've learned to do that when he was still hanging out with Iris. She could be so creepy sometimes! Anyway. The detective takes Matthew's arm with a smile, "Oh, I don't mind! Let's go!"

[OOC] Solar Stega says, "Plant-- have you tried copying relevant poses into a notepad file? That's what I do."

Sewa blinks at Psyche, and throws her hands skyward too, "Mwahahahahaha!" She declares. Thunder crackles outside even though it isn't raining. She then lowers her hands and adds, "So...uh... How expensive is it? It's gotta be pretty inexpensive to be a mass-producable armor to take the lead in modern warfare." She glances over to Fini, "Hehe, Hey Bubbles!" Yes, Sewa has a nickname for Fini.

[OOC] Cerveau says, "Though I am tempted to use it to tear apart a random reploid. :o"
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Sounds like a good idea."

Durandal is so totally standing in front of his booth, kinda wishing he did have Sonata here to lend a hand with crowd control. And he doesn't mean with a bikini.

Though he'll admit the idea has it's merits.

[OOC] Infinity Mijinion says, "Back."
[OOC] Cerveau says, "WB"
[OOC] Plant Man says, "WB, Bubbles."
[OOC] Sewa says, "WB Bubbles!"
[OOC] Orion Corth needs bamf.
[OOC] Orion Corth says, "I apologize. I have stuff to do."
Orion Corth has disconnected.

Hector Kausmann checks his watch and nods to himself, rocking on his feet slightly from the rush of alcohol integrating itself into his bloodstream. He activates a projector display, the sky before his display lighting up with a holographic simulation of at least eight Murder Rats racing across the desert in a wide formation, firing volleys of rockets and blaster-shots before breaking off in smaller foundations, smashing through simulated Maverick ground troops.

foundations = formations

[OOC] Cinnamon retunrs/
[OOC] Sewa says, "wb"

Gaudile nods at Plant Man as he walks off. "Of course, of course." He doesn't do anything for a few moments, just standing there for the next person or persons to come over to him and make loving noises.

        Fini cackles again. "I can see you are a man of genius, Dr....Psyche, is it?" he says. "Scientists such as you or I are too underappreciated for your efforts. Am I right?" The one watching Cerveau raises his eyes at the heavy armor on the assistant. "Hmm..." is all he does. The real Infinity says, "As you can see..." he jerks a thumb to his booth. "All of my new inventions, /plus/ ones I cannot reveal outside the empire. What do YOU have, Friend Gate?" he asks, mockingly. He peers at the device. "Recycling?"

[OOC] Plant Man also never walked off. Still next to the booth.
[OOC] Gaudile says, "...Oh."
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Ignore that part, then!"

        Plant phews, as the eager plant is now pretty much under control. He gently strokes the thing's petals and then looks back over where he just heard a whole lot of loud noise - Cerveau's booth. The android tilts his head and watches for a moment, until he also notices a big, huge orange thing standing near him that looks sort of like an onion... an onion? Plant Man fully turns, to look the onion over a little better. "Oh! Hello, there, Tornado. Are you interested in the mechaplants too?"

[OOC] Gaudile cowers at his own pose skills.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "A+"

Gaudile mutters to Cinnamon: '... ... ... dear?'.

[OOC] Solstis is hopping off now.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Wow, I saw the whole thing."

Dr. Matthews strolls over towards Solstis' booth with Jazz on her arm grinning quite maniacally. Or so it would seem. Completely ignoring the 'Danger! Sigma Virus!' signs she heads over to examine Solistis' project with a bit of curiosity. "... What's it's purpose?" A glance is cast towards Solistis only to squint at him a moment. He seemed familiar... somewhat.

Dr. Psyche nods rapidly, " Oh yes. I am glad to find someone else of obvious taste and intellect capable of recognizing my awe inspiring visionary genius. " He grabs at the Mijinions hand, holding it in both of his, while shaking it vehimently. " Yes, yes. Stick around, I'm sure I'll have time to give a full demonstration of the Mad Nautilus, and when the orders start pouring in from all over the world, I'll keep you in mind, Mister Mijinion. "

[OOC] Dr. Matthews aws. Retracts her pose then.
[OOC] Solstis says, "Naw, it's okay.."

        Gate folds his arms and looks impassive. "Yes. I'm trying to actually contribute something worthwhile to this world, instead of building more things to destroy it."

Dr. Psyche mutters to Infinity Mijinion: '... ... ... me...'.

        Solstis, however, was asleep when Matthews showed up...perhaps dreaming about that most interesting yet odd outfit she had. Yet there near the drone was a large stack of mostly untouched pamphlets that explained in detail the systems of the drone, including the Sigma Virus cannon.

[OOC] Solstis says, "Poke me if you get bored. *Poof*"
Solstis has disconnected.
[OOC] Gate says, "I HEARD THAT PSYCHE."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "OH YEAH, AND WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT, PUNK!?"

Cinnamon glances sideways to Dr. Psyche's booth - madman! - then back to Gaudile, shifting a bit. However, she puts on a brave smile again, not wanting to worry him too much.

[OOC] Cinnamon smiiiiles at Dr. Psyche.
[OOC] Durandal says, "CATFIGHT! XD"
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Hello."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild quietly drops a huge bucket on Psyche.
[OOC] Gate says, "TAKE OFF YOUR HEAD AND ADD IT TO MY COLLECTION OF FACE CHUNKS, NEXT TO HOUSEMAN."
[OOC] Gaudile sics Cinnamon on Psyche yet again.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY, GATSEY-WATSEY!"
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Hee hee. Gatesey."
[OOC] Gate says, "... Oh it is ON."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "ONLY I CAN CALL HIM THAT"

Cinnamon mutters to Gaudile: 'Good! ... glad people ... taking ... ... ... this part ... the ... So ... weapons are out there...'.

Cerveau has reconnected.
Cerveau has partially disconnected.
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild lepas on Pysche, bites him.
Roll has left.
[OOC] Durandal says, "Man, I can /hear/ Psyche's VA saying that. XD"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "AHHHH! GET IT OFF!"
[OOC] Gate says, "Me too. XD"
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Dang, so can I."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "I CHALLENGE YOU TO A MAGICARD MEGA ULTIMA DUEL!"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "WINNER TAKES ALL!"
[OOC] Gate says, "..."
[OOC] Gate takes a clue from Cossack and gets out a death laser.
[OOC] Plant Man brbs.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "....oh crap."
[OOC] Gate incinerates Psyche until all that is left are his funky shoes.
[OOC] Cinnamon takes the shoes, donates them to Goodwill.

Sewa nods to Psyche, even though he iddn't really reply to her. She sees Plant Man, whom used to date Radar Meerkat, but since she hadn't seen Plant Man in a while she was probably reprogrammed or something. Either way, she approaches Gaudille's booth at this point...and looks to Cinnamon, "Hey there," She says to her, "Are you working with Dr. Gaudille?" She glances over to the other doctor who decided to use a plastic volcano as his exhibit. How Light-esque of him.

[OOC] Gate says, "Take out the goldfish, they died in 1982."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "...dayum."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "...they were my friends..."

Smiles as he nods to his assistant again. The armored soldier extends a hand towards one of the pieces of rubble scattered around his booth. As the man does so, the enormous piece of metal begins hovering in the air, and is rather easily moved along the open space of the booth.

With a smirk, Cerveau continues his speech. "As you can see, with the GoLeM, a normal human can easily handle loads previously assigned over to industrial grade reploids, and move efficiently too." he adds as his assistant neatly stacks the assorted rubble. "And there is no need for him to receive life-altering genetic enhancements or cybernetics either."

[OOC] Gaudile says, "Aw, man, I'm copying Light?"
[OOC] Cerveau says, "Ack, Cerveau smiles."
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Cinnamon, I need...the hydrospanner!"
[OOC] Plant Man says, "I am not a girl!"
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "...what's a hydrospanner?"

Smile, smile, wave a rifle around. Yeah, this is...less fun then Durandal imagined it to be. Hey, it's not /his/ fault. He remembers looking around the booths being one of the coolest things ever, so naturally /running/ a booth should have been even better. Confound you daytime drama, you /lied/ to me! He looks around the room to some of the other booths and shakes his head. How did he not pick up the 'vibes' last year?

[OOC] Sewa says, "Sewa thinks Light is the sort of person who would put a volcano on exhibit and then reveal sentient AI"
[OOC] Gate says, "Cerveau, you get bonus points for using Golems."

Durandal mutters to Durandal: '... I ... Sonata was ... these people ... ... I can almost feel their eyes shooting ... ... each other.'.

Shadow Man enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Sewa says, "She hasn't actually seen him do it."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "..."
[OOC] Gate ROLLS
[OOC] Dr. Psyche ...
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "I just heard the best mutter EVER."
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Sup, Shadow."
[OOC] Gate says, "Duran, you roule."
[OOC] Gaudile picked it off of some sci-fi show. Can't remember which one.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Rigger, your boy ain't right."
[OOC] Gate says, "Er, rule."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "I cannot have my alt here. ;_;"
[OOC] Cerveau says, "Thank Orion, he named it."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "I heard absolutely nothing but the word 'deathlasers'."
[OOC] Sewa says, "it sounded familiar."
[OOC] Sewa heard a lot more, but I'm not sure it helped
[OOC] Gate >> You overhear Durandal mutter to Durandal: 'Man, I wish Sonata was here, these people are /brutal/. I can almost feel their eyes shooting deathlasers at each other.'.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Hahaha."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "Otherwise she'd so pop out of nowhere in a tank top."
[OOC] Cinnamon likes her version better.

Sarah stands back, near Light and the /main/ Mijinion (who knows if she can see the others!). She is still frowning viciously at Infinity, butis suddenly distracted by something her drones bring over - pamphlets. "Ooooh, bombs."

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Death Lasers? We call that professional courtesy around here, my boy."
[OOC] Durandal says, "That's okay, Doom. Jazz would only have her in a bikini in a few minutes anyway. ;D"
Drake Sunfire has left.
Cut Man has left.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Also, how many people did the last Plant date? I know about the whole Blues thing."
[OOC] Solar Stega says, "'I can almost feel their eyes ... ... shooting each other.' :O"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "....what..."
[OOC] Jazz unidles.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Blues...Plant....brain...hurt..."
[OOC] Plant Man says, "I know."

Tornado Onion smiles once Plant realizes he's there, turning to look back to Plant and his booth. "Yes Heheh! I quite interested!" He actually seems to be, looking over the plants around Plant man and the one he just took care of. "They seem quite different than ones outside...but I want to know how!" He looks at them, the plants moving much more than regular plants. Of course they aren't the same thing, but being a type of mechanical plant, he wants to know more.

Blues has connected.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Tornado, I don't have a booth."
[OOC] Solar Stega says, "Speak of the devil :O"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Speak of the incestuous devil."
[OOC] Cerveau says, "Speak of the devil."
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Cheeze it, the cop."
[OOC] Plant Man is standing in front of Gaudile's booth.
[OOC] Cerveau eyes.

Infinity shakes, enthusiastically, Psyche's hand. "Excellent! I would like to keep in touch, Doctor. I shall definitely be present at the presentation...oh, also," he says, his tone suddenly becoming dark. "...be carefuly about one Gate. I can assure you he is no good to you or your research..." this is just after Gate replies to the real Infinity who says, "You do not understand the feeling of watching your work tear into flesh and metal. The satisfaction of watching weeks of research put to use..." he begins walking away. "Have fun with your toys, Gate. I shall be sure to keep tabs on you after this is over...and your children...ke ke ke..."
The Infinity watching Cerveau carefully records the presentation for reference later.

[OOC] Gate says, "Yeah, A former Blues player was dating Plant Mna."
[OOC] Tornado Onion says, "sorry plant-.-"
[OOC] Blues says, "We had nothing to do with it."
[OOC] Blues says, "It scares us, too."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche shudders.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "It's okay, I'll just assume you asked about the one I was holding."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Let's assume it never happened, and move on, K?"
[OOC] Tornado Onion says, "thanks-.- .."

Isaac watches at Cerveau's creation and is honestly impressed at it. He developed a tool for heavy work that didn't require the alteration of a humaning to do so. He also turns off his high grade scanners to stop picking up converstations as well as per Sewa's advise. She was polite after all to him and he could respect the former Maverick turned into Reploid producer.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "For my brain hurts at the implications."
[OOC] Plant Man says, "COME HERE, BLUESEY"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Aw crap, they're gonna makeout in the corner."
[OOC] Plant Man makes out with himself.
Gale Sorcerer has disconnected.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "And Gate and Sarah already had reservations for that there, too."
[OOC] Tornado Onion says, "I guard them^^"

        Oops! Cinnamon tucks some more hair out of her eyes - the helmet does -nothing- to keep it out of the way, evidently - and smiles politely to Sewa. No idea who she is, but that doesn't make much of a difference to Cinnamon. "Hello! Yes, I'm Professor Gaudile's assistant! Glad to meet you, miss...?"

[OOC] Tornado Onion says, "Plant move, that their spot=D!"

        Gate narrows his eyes at Infinity. It takes all of Gate's will just to prevent him from obliterating the little creature where he stands. You can /feel/ the waves of rage rolling off him like a burning tide as he clenches his hands.

Dr. Sarah Fairchild mutters to Gate: 'I want to punch him. Or ... ... ... if ... can ... ... ... high ... ... ... a hole ... his neural ...'.

Jazz clings to Matthew's arm. That's her lot in life for now. Too bad Sonata's not this affectionate. :(

"The Murder Rat," Hector Kausmann begins, standing beside his holographic simulation of a Rat Pack battle, "Is a light combat vehicle designed for mass production and low costs, with high-grade technology installed in its frame, along with the latest armor and weapons technology. It can move at up to one hundred and twenty miles per hour, with a power-variable forcefield that at its lowest setting causes an elastic reaction to kinetic pressures when struck, and helps absorb damage. At it's fully optimal setting, the Murder Rat's forcefield functions as typical in addition to the 'bounce' effect when hard terrain or enemy combatents are struck. This allows the otherwise volatile vehicle to survive in the worst situations - as long as the driver can keep his lunch!" Chuckles are heard in the audience, as a film plays of Hector Kausmann bouncing the Murder Rat into the wall of a canyon and flying between them, before it switches to a camera view of Hector vomiting out the side of the vehicle. "Luckily, most pilots avoid these situations, and have a stronger stomach than I." After he gets more than a few disgusting looks, he decides that that might have been a bad clip to show.

[OOC] Jazz abuses smiliefaces for fun and profit.
[OOC] Cinnamon helps! :)

Dr. Psyche blinks, turning to Gate, as the waves of rage wash from him. " Excuse me..." he comments to Infinity, and takes out a strange sort of Geiger Meter, taking data on Gate's emitting of PURE RAGE INCARNATE.

Gate mutters to Dr. Sarah Fairchild: 'I'd ... ... ... him to ... sing the 'I'm a Little Teapot' ... ... ... ... ... several ... ... and chuck ... ... ...'.

[OOC] Gaudile says, "..."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Oh my."
Drake Sunfire enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Drake Sunfire returns from OOCness.
[OOC] Gaudile needs to get in touch with Gate.
[OOC] Jazz says, "Kinky."
[OOC] Durandal says, "I caught 'I'm a little Teapot'"

Dr. Sarah Fairchild mutters to Gate: '... did Berlin. ... ...'.

        Gate eyes Dr. Psyche. "... Stand back. Some people say I invented the Sigma Virus. I'm quite dangerous."

[OOC] Cerveau says, "All I got was did. XD"

Gate mutters to Dr. Sarah Fairchild: '... ...'.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Reallll subtle."
[OOC] Durandal got 'We did Berlin'.

Dr. Sarah Fairchild mutters to Gate: 'It'll do. ... have ... make sure we don't hit ... ... ... this time.'.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "..."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Whoah."
Wire Sponge enters the Fort York Expo Center.
[OOC] Cerveau eyes.

Sarah engages in a quick, muttered discussion with Gate. It seems rather heated.

" Oh, I'm perfectly aware of what you did and did not invent, Mister Gate. " Psyche balks, taking his measurements, " You're just known for spawning more children than anyone save Wily himself and then curing a bunch of them of the Maverick Virus. You know, nothing major. " He then walks away back to his booth to take notes.

[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Okay. So far, I've caught the words 'deathlasers', 'I'm a little teapot', 'hole in neural net', and 'cheese'."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "I'm so confused. ;_;"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Fun, ain't it?"
[OOC] Gate says, "I love this."

Plant whispers a couple words to the plant, which then stops moving and just stands up straight at attention, leaves twitching a little. He looks back up at the large onion. "This plant is mostly just genetically engineered for optimal intelligence, as well as having small nanites connected through its stem into the main neural system within the flower, much like a reploid, and control motor movements..." he babbles on for a while. Then, with a vine he signals over to the plastic volcano stand. "This stand has a lot of information about mechaplants... I believe the owner's name is Professor Gaudile."

[OOC] Chest says, "Was fun, folks, but I'm afraid I need to head on out."
[OOC] Durandal says, "Later, Chest."
Chest has disconnected.

Sewa likewise uses a free hand to take out a strange sort of recording device to take data on Gate's rage. She built it after Vanishing Gungaroo got posessed. She then puts it away before speaking to Cinnamon, "Sewa," She ofers a hand to Cinnamon, "Nice to meet you too! Is this your first GSTE? It's mine too, so if you've been to the others I'd have missed you...", she glances again to the plastic volcano, "Geologists?" She asks, sounding a little surprised since usually ROBOT MAKERS come to this, from what she's seen.

        Gate EXPLODES AND TAKES OUT HALF OF THE EXPO! THE CARNAGE! THE HUMANITY!

        No, that's just what Gate /wishes/ would happen right about now. How dare he.. the nerve of that... that... WALKING SNOWGLOBE. Infinity is quickly forgotten as Gate privately entertains thoughts of this upstart Doctor being pounded into flat sheets and being used to form the holding tank of a chemical toilet.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "...."
[OOC] Prismatic Spider says, "Psyche is Snaowflake."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "You know, you're not the first person to feel that way, Gate."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "It's the darnedest thing."
[OOC] Gaudile misread that as THE HUMILITY.

Sarah quietly reaches out an arm and wraps it around Gate, bringing him in closer for comfrot.

Dr. Psyche grumbles, " Get a room..." quietly as he makes notes.

Dr. Sarah Fairchild mutters to Gate: '... ... gonna ... ... ... ...'.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche ...
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Lose what? His virginity?"

"Get a wardrobe," Gate fires back.

[OOC] Prismatic Spider says, "<Gate> Cannot... maintain... rage... sweet... happiness... melting... aaaaaaaaaaaargh!"
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Dr. Sarah Fairchild mutters to Gate: 'C'mere. ... gonna ... it ... ...'."

Where has the pickle been this whole time? Well, right here you doofus! Open your eyes! Despite the fact of Wire Sponge UN-popularity he still got a booth relatively near the center. What he has on display is something he's just a tad bit proud of. Sitting in the center of the booth is a miniature tower thing labeled 'Immediate Weather Device'. The Sponge stands next to the thing quite proudly with his hands folded behind his back. Aw, look. He even groomed his tentacles how sweet.

[OOC] Durandal /chokes/.

Dr. Psyche snipes, " My cape is VERY fashionable! "

Sewa snaps, "Guys, calm down! Shoot each other AFTER the Expo like civilized beings!"

[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild ^_^

Dr. Matthews plucks up a few pamphlet's from the sleeping Solstis' table only to lead Jazz off after that. "Oh well. That was.. underwhelming." she shrugs a bit and gives a glance back towards her booth to make sure it's alright. "Well, anything you want to see, Jazz?"

Dr. Psyche promptly cape twirls.

From somewhere within the crowd, an aged Japanese man enters the group of scientific alumni, more than fashionably late. He is quite thoroughly bald, but with neatly trimmed, wiry hair still hanging around the back and sides of his head. His large white labcoat clearly does not fit him very well, and it doesn't help that every pocket appears to be stuffed with mechanical parts beyond what one might call a reasonable degree.


"Of course, there are other possible implications as well." Cerveau continues, signalling to his assistant again. The armor-clad man closes his fist as the the second part of the demonstration begins, and the rock shatters into a large number of pieces. "The GoLeM can fill many of the roles of a construction site, such as demolition. Also, there could very well be...combat implications as well." he notes, glancing over at Durandal's booth.

"Yes, if you were Transelvania as part of a gay vampire fashion show," Gate snarks.

Durandal can here this from his booth, and adds his two cents to the topic. "I have a wide range of guns you can shoot at each other with!"

Dr. Sarah Fairchild mutters to Gate: '... look ... ... bomb ... with ... It'll be ...'.

        Just /right/ after Gate, the real Infinity goes to check on his clone near Cerveau's booth, and runs into Isaac. "Oh, well, I'll be delighted! It's Friend Tube-Head!" he says, mockingly, and cackles.

Wire Sponge eyes the Snowglobe, "Hmph. Looks like I have competion for snarkiness."

Dr. Psyche twitches, " Go play witht he graduate students, the /DOCTORS/ here are trying to have a meeting of REAL minds. "

[OOC] Dr. Psyche goes for below the belt.
[OOC] Durandal says, "That must have stung."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche is a bad man.
[OOC] Sewa says, "Don't worry, Sarah has removed all of Gate's equipment down there."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Don't want him having another litter."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild dropkicks!

Gaudile continues to stand there as Cinnamon does small talk. He keeps a vested interest on Psyche and Gate and their dancing with each other, however. But otherwise he just stands there. Waiting for official 'go-time'.

[OOC] Prismatic Spider says, "Is this the legendary go-time? Show me!"
[OOC] Plant Man says, "I'm imagining Gate laying while tiny reploids suckle at his manteats."
[OOC] Isaac is afraid of Sarah

Sarah holds up a big arms developer pamphlet on BOMBS.

She giggles unhealthily.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche ...
[OOC] Isaac says, "she's got new bombs!"
[OOC] Gate says, ".."

Tornado Onion watches Plant whisper a few words to the plant he's holding and then going completely still. Tornado then listens intently as Plant explains all the things he knows about the plant he's holding, extremely interested in how that little plant is comparable in some ways to himself. He looks around as Plant talks but keeps his main focus on him and then looks in the direction of his vine to the Volcano. "Teheh! Thanks Plant! I think I'll do just that! Thank a whole lot!" Yes he thanked him twice, but he did happen to provide so much information which actually did interest him. He heads to the plastic volcano, looking around for the owner...looking around for Professor Gaudile.

[OOC] Plant Man says, "Hahahaha."
[OOC] Gate says, "Plant."
[OOC] Gate says, "Come here."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "That is so....horrible...."
[OOC] Plant Man says, "What."
[OOC] Gate says, "Let me kill you."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche is trying not to give himself a cramp he's laughing so hard.
[OOC] Gate is laughing too. XD
[OOC] Plant Man says, "I won't let you pistolwhip me with your mantitties."
[OOC] Gaudile says, "I am so apping Gaudile when this is over."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild smashes Plant through a wall with SCIENCE.

Jazz stares at the pamphlet in Matthew's hands, wondering if they were supposed to explode or do something Mavericky. But they don't, so she pays attention to Rigger instead. "Oh, I dunno. I was kind of bored, and when you mentioned a swimsuit on the radio I decided I'd come down and help out! Oh! Do you have any other of those fancy televisionswimsuits or what?"

(New BB message (27/20) posted to 'Daily Spotlight!' by Dr. Psyche: Mama Gate)
[OOC] Plant Man says, "I think I'll draw a picture of that."
[OOC] Infinity Mijinion says, "Gah, I need to add something I forgot in my last pose.."

Cinnamon lets Gaudile take over talking to Plant Man; mostly because she really -is- lost now in the technobabble. But she does nod at Plant Man's final comment, switching her gaze back to Sewa. "Yes, Professor Gaudile made this display. I help as much as I can, but most of the work is his. He's a geologist, yes, but - well, sometimes you have to extend your horizons a bit, you know? And where better to do that than the expo?"

The aged Japanese man also picks up some of the bomb pamphlets, flipping one open and reviewing it critically. He hmms to himself and nods appreciatively, tucks the pamphlet into his pocket, and wanders over to see what else is around that might be interesting.

        Gate's right eye twitches. Oh. You did not just go there. "You can buy a doctorate you know. I'm surprised you can have a meeting of the minds with that large, empty... what the heck IS that dome filled with, anyways?"

[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Mushroom spores."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Trust me."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "...I have such a delightful idea."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "It's so mean."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "And twisted."
[OOC] Prismatic Spider says, "Do iiiiit."
[OOC] Durandal says, "Cinnamon. Have you been experimenting with pharmacuticals again?"
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Oh my."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Also, yes."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "Psyche, can I get a holoscan of you?"

        The clone from Psyches booth goes on, and eventually finds himself at Wires. "Well, Comrade Wire, what have you to show us?" he asks, in a true friendly tone, since Wire is a fellow scientist.

Wire stands there next to his weather control device. Yup. A neat little thing. He's standing there.

[OOC] Cinnamon says, "Have you played the games? She has a -giant needle-."

Dr. Psyche guffahs, " My immense central processor, dear Gate. And I have a REAL Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering and Robotics, thank you. You, on the other hand, are what? Some two-bit INTERPOL lackey? Such a shame. You had such potential..."

[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "You'll ahve to get close to me and pose attempting it."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "And then we'll see."
[OOC] Infinity Mijinion says, "My pose was right before yours, Wire."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "Sarah's drones do the scanning."
[OOC] Wire Sponge just saw it.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Then, pose them coming up to me and attempting ^.^"
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "So Sarah doesn't actually move. I'll pose it, and we'll work it from there."

Dr. Matthews would tuck the pamphlet away in a pocket excepting the fact that she doesn't have any currently. "No, sorry. But I suppose I can make you one if you like," she offers. "I expect Cossack Industries will be offering the patent's use to several companies so it might be on the mainstream market soon." A glance is cast towards the brewing argument though she can't really hear what's going on.

A strangely familiar man in a trenchcoat pauses, in passing of Doctor Psyche, looking him over for a moment, at which point he mutters, "ERWIN?", and a few other things that are mostly inaudible, before wandering off.

Overclock has connected.
[OOC] Cerveau DIES.

        Gate's internal fluids are boiling at this point.

Plant is just now content to stand there, watching the other displays and such while stroking the potted plant.

Dr. Sarah Fairchild mutters to Gate: '... ... ...'.

[OOC] Tornado Onion says, "Oh yeah, I heard nothing-.- anyone else?"
[OOC] Infinity Mijinion says, "Making Gate mad = FUN."

Gate mutters to Dr. Sarah Fairchild: '... ... ... ... my buttons... at ...'.

[OOC] Jazz :O

Dr. Sarah Fairchild mutters to Gate: 'You're ... ... times the ... he'll ... be. ... ... ...'.

[OOC] Plant Man shakes his fist at Psyche.

Durandal, interestingly, seems to be the only one present with a massive collection of weapons but no intent to use a single one.

[OOC] Dr. Psyche aims to displease.
[OOC] Jazz hits Gate's buttons. Again and again and again and again.
[OOC] Gate says, "that is for being so irritating. I love you already."

Dr. Sarah Fairchild mutters to Gate: '... ... ... all he ... In the end ... only ... that matters ... that YOU'VE ... ... world.'.

[OOC] Plant Man says, "I have a feeling that you're Shade Man."

Dr. Sarah Fairchild mutters to Gate: 'Now calm down before I find ... a ...'.

[OOC] Durandal says, "WOAH."

Wire Sponge perks up when he notices Infinity standing next to his booth, "Well, hello there, Infinity, a pleasure seeing you here!" At the question, the Sponge wiggles his tentacles sporadically, despite how comical it looks, "Well, after many months of experimentation, and other assorted tasks, I've managed to create a fully functional /portable/ weather control device! Yes.. here.. let me show you how it works!"

The Sponge waddles over to a control panel and begins to tap many things into the input rapidly. Within a few seconds, a small rain cloud appears overhead. It puts out thundering sounds, and flashes of light, but it doesn't rain.

[OOC] Cinnamon says, "WHOAH."
[OOC] Dr. Psyche's identity is a mystery.
[OOC] Gaudile says, "Kinky."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild bahahaha
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "Those crazy kids."
[OOC] Cinnamon says, "I catch the best parts of mutters, I swear."
[OOC] Durandal caught 'before I find us a corner'.
[OOC] Plant Man says, "Like your boobs?"

Sewa sighs, "Boys will be boys," She tells Cinnamon. Yes, she's blaming this on Psyche and Gate's UNPREDICTABLE hormones. Gaudile isn't a guy. He's a GUYOLOGIST. Haha. No. Anyway, "I agree, that's why I'm so sad about missing them up until now." She rubs the back of her neck sheepishly, "I'm sure if you stick by him, you'll be developing stuff on your own in no time." She chuckles, "If I knew anything about Geology, I'd be able to give an example." She rubs at her face a bit, sighing again, "Glad some people are being civil at this expo."

[OOC] Cinnamon caught 'down before I find a corner'.

Jazz looks crestfallen, briefly, "Oh, darn. I'd be able to advertise your booth a lot better if I had one of those. Oh well! I guess we can keep on walking around. Oh, do you think the Mavericks will attack this time? Or the Robot Masters? I'm putting my money on an independent evil organization."

Gaudile mutters something to Cinnamon before noticing the Onion and moving to him, hopefully not showing his immense amusement at Psyche and Gate. "Hi. Can I help you with something?"

Durandal pauses a moment, his ear caught /something/. He looks around really quickly, then does the intellegent thing and sends a /tightbeam message/ to someone so it can't be overheard. But who...ah, ah, ah...oh! Her! She was close, she'll do!

Sarah frowns at Psyche, but shakes her head, visibly irritated. "I don't know. I'm curious myself."

A single drone, three or four inches across, whirls up, closer to Psyche, and unrolls to reveal a small holographic scanning device. Provided Psyche doesn't do anything mean to the drone, it will begin taking a holographic scan of him for Sarah's own horrible abuse, or at least so she has a visual of him on-file.

Gaudile mutters to Cinnamon: '... think Psyche is lying ... what's in his head. Also I ... he ... ... doctorate from ... cereal box.'.

Dr. Psyche turns suddenly, noticing the drone, and his face goes stark with shock....a...camera...

....he immediatly poses dramaticly.

[OOC] Plant Man says, "He got his doctorate out of a cereal box? Sweet."
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild says, "Mutter is the best command ever. Why don't we use it more often, again."
[OOC] Blues snerks.
[OOC] Dr. Sarah Fairchild LAUGHS
[OOC] Gate says, "..."
[OOC] Plant Man digs in his Cocoa Puffs box.
[OOC] Dr. Psyche says, "YOU
