[If anyone hasn’t seen Jayce within the past few months, he looks quite a bit different. His hair is longer, he has a beard, and doesn’t seem quite as full of energy as he might have in the past. He’s also not dressing as uptight as he used to— a lack of vest and tie, exchanged for just a simple button up shirt. The background is once again S.T.A.R. labs, although he’s not trying to hide it this time.]

Hey, Etrayans. For those new to this whole thing, welcome. I’m Jayce Talis. For those who came from Pollux, also welcome. I can say with full confidence Aurora’s better at this than Castor is.

[Aurora probably won’t appreciate that comment, but whatever. He stands by it. But that aside…]

I’m putting out a call for fellow scientists to come together and work collaboratively on research involving what we know about Etraya, and more importantly, what we don’t know. This could also include strategizing developments to improve our lives here, and solving problems with our understanding in our respective fields. 


Something that we have here that we lack in our own worlds is the variety of perspectives. In my world, some of our greatest achievements are beyond what’s possible in other worlds, but we don’t have plastics or microwaves. Think of this as an opportunity for all of us to better ourselves, in this… transient existence we’re all stuck in.

Meetings would be here, in S.T.A.R. labs, every Thursday morning. No requirements if you want to participate other than an open mind, and a good attitude. No shooting down suggestions without hearing things out, and if you happen to have some sort of grudge against any of the participants here, you leave it at the door when you come in, or you’re not coming in.

[OOC: Feel free to threadjack around if you'd like!]

That's... so specific.

[querulus]

oh god please don't tell me i accidentally stumbled on another sketchy thing you've actually done. i can't take another tragic jayce talis flashback.

[hexcope]

No, you did not, but you are gearing up to be the guy who gets getting decked instead.

[querulus]

wow not even "opening day" and you're already threatening violence against other members. so much for good attitudes and not holding grudges.

[hexcope]

Holding a grudge? No, no, I'm not doing that. I know what you're like. But consider this a preemptive demonstration of the very scientific "cause and effect."

[querulus]

yeah sure you don't have a grudge, you just want to punch a guy for being himself. makes perfect sense.

hey speaking of grudges, is that little creep who used me as a psychic megaphone gonna be around? because his brain smells like expired pickles and i ain't touching that.

[hexcope]

"Expired pickles?"

Yes, Viktor's going to be around. He's my partner. Don't call him a little creep either or I'm actually going to make good on the punching threat.

[querulus]

look buddy there's a whole lot worse i could be calling him after the shit he pulled. anyway, i didn't even say i didn't want the little creep around, just that i'm not touching his mind. i know my rights.

[hexcope]

No one's asking you to. In fact, I think most would be thrilled at this promise.

[querulus]

uh okay first of all, rude

i thought the whole point of this was some kind of "idea-sharing" crap?????

[hexcope]

Don't be obtuse on purpose. You know I meant with your words. And your mouth.

[querulus]

jayce
jaycey-boy
buddy
my sweet precious scraggly-faced angel
my brother in christ
when have you ever known me to not be obtuse on purpose

[hexcope]

It's going to be a new year soon. Try growth.

[querulus]

i tried growth once. ended up getting beheaded.

do you want me to get beheaded jayce. your good buddy quentin quire.

[hexcope]

I think there's other circumstances that were at play that were a factor in that happening.

[sophielicious]

i wanna add that it didn't prevent him from doing it either

so if you guys do go with beheading you gotta weigh that in

[hexcope]

I'm not beheading anyone.

[sophielicious]

look i am just saying that if you DO or someone ELSE does

not necessarily YOU but someone

[hexcope]

Worst I'm going to do is disinvite him from Science Club.

[You'll never get what happens next.]

[sophielicious]

do you want my honest opinion on that decision or do you want me to keep talking shit recreationally? i can do either

[querulus]

maybe. maybe not. there was a guy named victor involved though so. y'know.

[hexcope]

You know, you're reminding me, there was this Quentin I knew once at the academy who would suck his thumb at night. I wonder if that means anything for all Quentins across the multiverse...

[querulus]

buddy you've got no idea what i'm sucking on all night

You're uninvited from Science Club.
