Experiment 007 [Accidental Video]

[When the feed turns on, Washu can be seen adjusting the filter on a rather large, 55 gallon tank complete with stand and what looks like rocks and fake coral inside. Swimming around in the tank are several familiar fish. All of them prizes from the previous festival.

After a few moments she steps back and wipes her hands on her shorts to get a good look at the tank. A few minutes later she absently taps something at the computer keyboard that appears at her finger tips and a canister drops out of thin air into her waiting hands. On the canister is a simple image of a fish eating fish food. Washu opens the can and sprinkles some of the flake food into the tank and smiles as she watches the fish go into a mini feeding frenzy.

Once she finishes that the food canister vanishes and she turns away only to pause as she sees her communicator recording.]

It looks like this little device decided to share my new tank with the rest of the bubble. Well, what do you think~? It's not as big as I would like but considering the inhabitants, I think I can get over my disappointment.

[Never mind the fish in the tanks...]

Where did the fish food come from...? [That's far more interesting than ordinary fish!]

From my lab, where else? I did just design the formula for the proper nutrition that my fish need.

Where else... [That's what he's trying to find out!] So it just appears like that?

Yep~. Is there a problem with that?

I never said there was. [He crosses his arms, looking bristled.] Did this sort of technolog come from your home world?

You could say that. Why are you curious?

I thought that was obvious...

In other words~. You wish to know exactly how I did that? The answer is simple really, I manipulated the planes of the third dimension to create a bridge from one point in space to another. Once that was accomplished it was a matter of simply moving the desired item from one point in space to another.

In this case, it was from a work station in my lab downstairs to a precise point in space a few feet from my current position where I could accurately predict when and where to catch the item as it transitioned from one point to another.

[Well, the answer is pretty simple, so Aya nods at the lengthy explanation.] That's pretty useful. Do you think something like that could reach all the way to our own homes?

[There's a faint amused quirk of her lip.]

Technically I can accomplish this dimensional doorway between any two or more points withing the bubble or on the island. However, the nature of this place prevents me from lining one point withing the bubble to another point on the island.

Furthermore, I cannot extend my reach beyond the bubble or the island. As useful as it is, it is not a currently viable way of getting home if that's what you're wondering.

That's a shame. Something like that could be useful.

How long have you had the fish?

I know. It has been quite useful so far in getting people from one point to another quickly, but so far, that's about it.

Since the festival. I won them.

Ah, right, there was a festival. [Thank goodness Selphie made a diary for him.] Which game did you play?

The fishbowl game. The object of the game was to get a ping pong ball into a small fish bowl to win a prize. Lets just say I have better hand-eye coordination than most people.

I remember playing games like that back home. I also remember people losing a bit of money on them. [He chuckles softly at the nostalgic thought.] A shame I missed it all.

Normally, people usually do loose money to this game. It's a tricky one but not impossible.

[Denzel has his boney fingers pressing against the other side of the fish tank. His greasy hair hanging over his forehead staring at the fish. Pointing at each different one.]

Curly Joe. Shemp. Moe. John. Paul. George. RINGO! Donny. Marie.

And this one here is Paul Stanley and that one over there is Gene Simmons and that one is Eric Singer and that one! That's Tommy Thayer!

[The man appears to be enjoying himself at least.]

[She blinks and peers around the corner of the fish tank at him with a raised eyebrow. Why was he naming the fish like that? As far as she was concerned, they didn't need names.]

....Is there any particular reason you're naming them Little Denzel?

Huh?! [Denzel believes that the fish are speaking, after all things considered. Why not?!] What did you say? [Twitchy eye twitch] You sound just like - WASHU! [Slightly having a spasm. Have to love Crocker's lack of common sense.]

[That lack of common sense is why she keeps him around. But sometimes.. Washu sighs and steps out from behind the tank.]

That's because I was the one that spoke.

GAH! [Denzel jumps slighly and hits the glass] OW! [Rubbing his side]

Oh, well anything is possible here. Just like at home. [Starting to sound in hysterics] That fish that could had been talking!

[Washu doesn't say anything. What she does do is raise an eyebrow and then quietly snaps her fingers. A flower pot appears out of nowhere above him and crashes down on Denzel's head.]

Hopefully that will knock some semblance of common sense into your head.

[Crocker groans and then blinks, that's strange. Raising a brow back to her brow.]

What no - OW! [Rubbing his head] NEVERMIND! [Crocker wonders on why he stays with her] WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR?!

You know it's times like this I wonder why I stay here.

Edited 2013-06-19 02:24 (UTC)

Because you're incapable of taking care of yourself and somehow I've taken on a mother role for you. Not that I'm complaining, but there are times where you need a jolt back to reality.

[She smiles pleasantly and offers him an icepack.]

Besides, it's the easiest way to snap you back to normal short of dunking you into a body of water.

[Denzel looks as if he's about to say something, however stops himself.] She has a point. Yes, she does. [Which was a comment to her first two sentences at least. Denzel snatches the ice pack.]

BAH! 'Reality'. Where I'm from reality is... This can of place. Where - CURSES! [slight body twitch] can have you swap bodies or something of that nature!

[Expect of course it's because of Fairy Godparents, which may just explain a few things...]

[Then there's a dot dot dot look about dunking him into a body of water followed by a why me look.]

Edited 2013-06-29 00:15 (UTC)

[Washu just smiles at that look. It's one she's used to seeing on her victims. OR children. Sometimes they can be the same thing.]

Then you must live in a strange world.

Yes, I do. [Then mumbles] And one of the few that even seems to notice that.[Which seems to bother Crocker as you can see veins popping in his neck before-] FAIRY GODPARENTS! [There's that random spazz of three. A pause.]

I'm going to back to naming our new fish, yes.

Edited 2013-06-29 20:35 (UTC)

[SIGH. The boy really was hopeless.]

You go do that. I'm going to adjust a few things on the tank and then go mess around with a game console or two.

I WILL! [Mumbling to himself] Let's see where was I? That was the Stooges, Beatles, Donnie and Marie -

Game console? You mean the game console that have turned my class into mindless zombies because of the lost brain cells and gain short attention spans? [Crocker of course, referring to the 5th graders he taught back home]

[Denzel doesn't think highly of them but they where after his childhood. ]

Though do I give the credit for all the - CODING! [Slight body jerk] That goes into those hours of mindless dribble.

Edited 2013-07-02 22:31 (UTC)

....Who let you teach kids.

[Adults, sure. But children? Somehow, she just couldn't see it.]

Besides, as interesting as the coding might be, I'm more interested in the internal workings of the devices and what new resources they might provide me with.

My ex - girl - BOSS! [Crocker tries to make smooth reocvery and fails horribly. Crocker wanted to teach children back home even if that was below his ability to teach standards and doesn't like children. However, the kids in his world have the Fairy Godparents, so what better job to keep an eye out of anything strange happening? The man groans for a moment as Denzel thinks about her. Not that Geraldine appears to return those feelings but that's besides the point]

[Crocker blinks for a moment] Well, you put it that way but can't you just POOF whatever you like?

...Your ex-girlfriend. [She just kind of stares at him and raises an eyebrow.]

I could, but that's not as fun as physically doing it. Besides, even I have limitations as to what I can create and materialize in a place like this.

[Denzel doesn't confirm or deny Washu's statement with her raise brow. Verbally, anyways because quite frankly he doesn't want to open that can of worms if possible. However, the extra dismay in his face should be a tip off.

Before appearing rather shocked] You have limitations here?!

[Quite honestly interested Crocker]

...Yes. Everyone does. Of course, mine are probably for the good of everyone here.

[She just smiles at that and doesn't elaborate. Besides, the 'limits' didn't upset her in the slightest and even a few of them were self imposed.]

I'm just going to have to find out for myself, aren't I? [Between why Washu can't and what those blocked limits are.] Yes, I suppose I am. [His eyes narrow on Washu, Crocker wonders if the only way to get more information is for him to talk more about certain things.]

I can't make everything easy for you.

[That might be one possibility. Though, it's never a guarantee with her whether that will get the petite red-head talking.]

Thought so. [Denzel mumbles to himself before going into over dramatics with a finger point.] OH NO! DON'T YOU GET ME STARTED ON LIFE ISN'T EASY!

[Really, Washu don't. He knows all too well but it would be a nice switch up if life was.]

Edited 2013-07-06 18:36 (UTC)

[She just gives him another look.]

Keep it up and I will drop another flower pot on your head. You might also want to learn that somethings aren't easy for a reason. Most of the time it's for a very, very good reason.

[Oh noes! Not the look. The one major weakness of all men! Seeing that coming Crocker looks away. The remark about the flower pot, causes Crocker to fold his arms over his head and duck... Sort of. However, the remark, Crocker braves ever so slightly at, the look.]

Good reason? What are you? Out of your mind?

[Admittedly, seeing his reaction was hilarious~. She just smiles again and folds her arms.]

I am perfectly sane. It's simple really. There are more things between heaven and Earth than you can comprehend. Sometimes, it's best not to pry.

Did you have to paraphrase Shakespeare?

[Why yes, Washu he taught everything back in Dimmsdale]

Yes I did~. Why, would you rather I said something along the lines of 'I'll tell you when you're older'?

Well, no... Considering.. I'm already there.

Why you would want fish in a city like this is utterly beyond my imagining, if you want the honest answer. And if you don't, too damn bad.

Thank you for your input Karkat. I won the fish, so why not keep them? Besides,there's something soothing about maintaining the delicate balance of a fish tank and it's been scientifically proven that having a pet can help a person relax.

The pet part I'm not complaining about. I have a pet; it's not that bad.

[He's actually fairly fond of his chocobo, even if he's not the kind of owner to babytalk (wigglertalk?) and coddle an animal.]

It's the fish part--there's tons of them around already, crowbarred and crammed into every conceivable place they can be and more than a few they probably shouldn't, even beyond the literal variety swimming above our collective skulls every single day of the year. I will hazard a guess that by winning the fish you mean from that carnival or whatever last week - I didn't go - but why would you want to win one?

I know, but there's a sense of control with having some of them trapped within a tank.

Think of them as trophies for winning a game of considerable skill.

[Karkat's head definitely tilts at that.]

Remind me to never get on your bad side, and on top of that, give me a warning if I ever step so far into asshole territory that I start risking it.

Dare I even ask what the game was?

[Chuckles.]

I'll keep that in mind if you ever annoy me that much. But you shouldn't worry too much, I'm hard to annoy to that point.

A game of simple game that tested the ability to properly measure distance and the force needed to land a ball into a little bowl of water. It takes considerable hand eye coordination.

And it's fun to clean them out of prizes.
