2; Video: In Which Tarvek Takes Matters Into His Own Hands

[sivalesvendetta]

[Tarvek has not been enjoying the sudden man-eating addition to the local flora. It's nothing he can't handle, of course -- at least these aren't the kind from back home that drug you and eat you while you smile yourself to death -- but accidentally tripping into a patch of them on his way home from work today means that his clothes are completely ruined. And that... that will not stand. It's one thing to take a chunk out of his leg, quite another to rip up his coat.]

Hello, Cityzens.

[Anyone observant might notice something going on behind him on his MAC-provided desk. Parts from various electronics are moving about on their own, fitting themselves together and forming an evil, fiendish, maddeningly physics-defying... sewing machine.

Shut up. Every mad scientist has a hobby.]

If any among your number could point me to the place I would be the most likely to find fabric and sewing supplies of decent quality, I would be much obliged.

[What

Is Agatha

Asking him

TO DESIGN CLOTHING FOR HER....]

Wh -- yes!

I'd certainly be willing!

[drinkthedyne]

I'd like that, Tarvek.

[Smile smile.]

Of course, they'll have to be able to stand up to the lab. You know how it is.

[sivalesvendetta]

Of course.

[He's already thinking leather. A sturdy outer coat and work gloves to protect the more ornate underlayers...]

I'd have to take your measurements, naturally. If you're willing.

[drinkthedyne]

Well, yes.

Meet me in the lab when you get a chance?

[sivalesvendetta]

[YES

YES HE'LL DO THAT

I mean]

Certainly. Is there a particular time that is convenient for you?

[drinkthedyne]

You know me, I work at all hours, whenever inspiration strikes.

I'll be there.

[You know she lives in the lab, right Tarvek? Like, literally?]

[sivalesvendetta]

[Well, yes! But one can't just call on a lady any odd hour of the day or night. That wouldn't be very polite at all!]

I merely wouldn't want to interrupt your work.

Unless, of course, you require an assistant after the fitting is done.

[drinkthedyne]

I do love having an assistant, you know. And it just so happens that I could use one. If you're willing.

[Wow all this talk about working together in the lab is making her blush? Kind of like science is foreplay for Sparks or something.]

[sivalesvendetta]

[OR SOMETHING...

This is practically like being asked on a date.

And of course he knows it's completely platonic, just between friends, but... it's still really exciting?]

I am always willing to assist you, Agatha. I'll drop by once I have some sketches completed.

[drinkthedyne]

[Platonic? Mmmmaybe. He is the first taste of home she's had in science knows how long.

And she's been so lonely. Good thing he'd never take advantage of such a situation.]<,/small>

I'll look forward to it, Tarvek.
