[First comes the video, with Walter in his usual labcoat with a makeshift laboratory in the background. It's obvious he's converted his living room into a lab with the sofa and table pushed up against the wall. He has taller tables arranged around with various types of equipment on it and he's looking down at some notes before he starts speaking, clearly reading what he's written.]

Hello, Luceti. My name is Doctor Walter Bishop. If you are seeing this, which I hope you are, then you are entered into candidacy for a new position as lab assistant. I am looking for individuals who are at least somewhat familiar with a laboratory setting and it's procedures. You must have an open and willing mind to see beyond that which--

[A microwave beeps and he stops reading, hurrying off excitedly.]

Ooh, popcorn's done!

[He comes back with a freshly popped bag of popcorn a few moments later and plops back in his seat, emptying the contents into a bowl off screen as he rereads his note.]

Where was I.... Open mind...lab....experiments... Ah! Yes, here we are.

To see beyond that which modern science calls "conventional." Those with mechanical expertise or degrees in physics or biochemistry are highly favored. It also helps if you can cook well or have an EZ-Bake Oven. Has anyone seen one recently? Such shame not to have one.

Oh, and yes here--

[He holds up his note, written in a careful left-handed slant to the camera so people can read it.]

Position: Lab Assistant
Hours: As necessary

Description: Looking for individuals who are at least somewhat familiar with a laboratory setting and it's procedures. You must have an open and willing mind to see beyond that which modern science calls "conventional." Those with mechanical expertise or degrees in physics or biochemistry are highly favored.

Extra Skills: Ability to cook, access to technology (EZ-Bake Oven), love of music, ability to work well under stress.


[He drops the notice and grabs a handful of popcorn.]

Please inquire within. O-or here, I suppose. I can answer any questions you may have since you'll be working for me.

[Marty's mouth opens before he knows what to say and before Walter has even finished. And by the time the explanation has ended, he still finds himself mostly at loss for words, squinting at the lines on the paper.]

Are you telling me that you saw me and Doc... in a dream?
future_boy: (aw for eff's sake)

Whoa... this is heavy. [And things never seem to stop being so damn heavy in Luceti, either. He could really use a breather.]
tea_lover64: (So delicious)

I see. That does sound interesting, I will have to give it a try.
future_boy: (never thought of that)

[Talk about subject change. He stares at the journal for a moment, uncomprehending and trying to discover the mysterious link between separate realities and milkshakes.]

Uh, yeah... [He surfaces from his thoughts, shrugging his shoulders.] They're alright. [Then, frowning:] Why? ...What's this about?

[Oh. That was unexpected.]

Decisions? What're we deciding? [But he doesn't have too long to think on what that might mean because he's already interrupting himself.] Wait, Doc! ...sir! -- Dr. Bishop! [Dammit.] Hold on - does this does this mean I get to be your assistant?
future_boy: (guess you're right; thinking)

[personal profile] future_boy 2014-02-27 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a pretty easy choice to make. He hasn't anything better to do as it is and it'd be best to get to know a little more about the scientist to whom he has offered his help.]

Yeah. Yeah, okay, alright. I haven't had one of those in a little while. Just... don't put any sugar in it, okay?
future_boy: (calm on the phone)

[Note to self - Dr. Bishop takes his milkshakes super seriously.]

I don't know, [He shrugs a little, carelessly.] people just do to make it taste better. Strawberries can be pretty sour sometimes, and that's not so great for a shake.

Certainly, it would be my pleasure. I think I would prefer a restaurant though.

[Your lab seems to house all sorts of strange drugs]
tea_lover64: (Playing a game)

[personal profile] tea_lover64 2014-03-03 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I look forward to it. Tell me, are you familiar with many strategy games?

[Oh. Iroh liked the sound of that]

Well, I am rather new when it comes to chess, but I am rather familiar with Shogi, and a game called Pai Sho in my world. I would gladly play against you sometime.

[He strokes his beard]

Perhaps a bit of an alternate game between us can be arranged in intervals? Chess and Pai sho or shogi if you prefer.
future_boy: (...oh.)

[Baby steps, he guesses. First, fruit, then the world a machine to get them all back home where they belonged.]

You’re the doc, Doctor Bishop. [He chuckles weakly, his smile faltering.] So where is your lab? Is it on the map somewhere?

That's what I thought! But I guess, where I come from, everyone was more concerned with 'facts' instead of fiction. Science, and history, and advancement... so little art that wasn't concerned with one of those things.

[Elizabeth frowns slightly at her journal and tilts her head.] You sound like my friend. So I can say that I have experience with people who fall in love with good people. If they mourn the good love they lose, they tend to be good people too. Maybe not saints, but who is, really?

Certainly, we can meet on Thursday nights if that is acceptable to you?
