[Open -- Communal] Science! Slumber! Party!

Who: Liege Maximo and ALL THE PEOPLE
What: Following the 'Second Wave,' Liege has collected a number of living (and dead) Monster samples to be studied. He has sent out the call: all scientists/medics or otherwise capable persons are welcome to attend his laboratory conference to look over the critters and find out what can be found!
When: Now-ish. Liege took a bit to set this up, so all new and old characters can come!
Where: Liege's Temple
Notes:

Bring any characters you want, scientists or not! Anyone who comes (IE posts or threads below) will get some samples of Sharkticons or other monster types to work with, and they will also receive a special LABORATORY KIT from an Acolyte, which features a few simple tools sized to your character so they can do their own experiments in the future!
Your character is welcome to learn the following:

-Monsters have superior strength/stamina to their non-lambda counterparts. (IE a Monster Sharkticon would be more brutal, spikier, and nastier than a standard Sharkticon.)
-Beyond the increased attributes there is no physical difference to their makeup. (IE a Sharkticon is still a Sharkticon, a dragon is still a dragon, DNA, scales, and all.)
-Particularly perceptive individuals may notice a trace of an energy signature on the creatures which matches the 'feel' of the badlands. There may be a link between the two...

Liege won't be able to interact with everyone, so this is your chance to MINGLE with others. Tag around, have fun, spend the night, and enjoy the Maximo's superior wash-racks! If you'd rather just explore the temple, you can do that too.




In the confusing, maze-like depths of Liege's temple, there were hundreds of rooms. Many had been hollowed out from the mountainside, curving inwards in some haphazardly specific pattern as if seeking out the greatest potential for heat. Others jutted out from the side with long, wide windows to let in the light, organized, carefully, for his pursuits. The laboratories, of course, were among these.

The many, many laboratories were among these.

He'd needed them all, of course. In the beginning, there had just been one, and one had been nice for allowing him to perform one type of experiment. He'd had a second built when Solus had given him that energon separator, and the third after he'd brought back organics from his first travels into space. After that, it had been somewhat of a collection, and there were laboratories shoved into corners of his temple like extra books shoved onto shelves. He liked it that way. It meant that his brothers and sisters didn't know about them.

Not all of them.

And it meant he could host parties like these on the few occasions when he deigned to socialize. He made sure each accessible laboratory was well-stocked, filled with tools and at least one experiment subject and also populated by an Acolyte to monitor his guests. There would be energon available, and some organic-favored snacks as well, because he had every intention of showing just how well he treated his aligned when he was paying attention to them.

It never hurt to make the others jealous.

He, himself, had work to do in his main laboratory, and for the most part he intended to stay there, drifting out amongst the others only to peruse their findings or to partake in the briefest of breaks. This was what he loved to do, after all...

...but science was useless without others to observe its happenings.

Having the Refugees around again was, in that way, a gift--one that he intended to open slowly, keeping the wrapping safe so he could use it again next time.

And who knew?

Perhaps, here, amongst those who would come, would be a few worth keeping for himself, or offering further incentives toward.

when Starscream thinks your character is a dick... that's pretty bad.

Pharma was just about to reflect on how nice it is for the first reaction not to be about his handi- ehr, condition...

...and then Starscream had to ruin it with that pun. Couldn't anyone restrain themselves around here?

"Ah, I see. You were a stand up comic. An odd jump to make, from comedy to dissection," he replies sourly. "Just some friendly advice- you might want to use the correct tools- it makes things so much cleaner."

oh lmao I was not the clearest there that was *Starscream* being a dick I'M SORRY

"Toughest crowd yet, as a matter of fact." He stepped over, clapping a friendly arm around Pharma's shoulders. "So you be the brains, I'll be the body, and the Acolyte here will be the getting-in-the-way."

He smiled. "Tools. Right. See, this is why you're useful. I assume you've already put in a request, for new parts."
organ_pharming: (talking down to you)

LOL THAT'S OKAY THEY CAN BOTH BE DICKS

Phamra's wings twitched as he tried to lean away from Starscream's overly friendly invasion of his personal space. At least he was being semi respectful- i.e acknowledging that Pharma was the brains around here.

"Well, I have just finished with my own test subject. I suppose I could assist." Though he wasn't sure it would be better than instructing his own clumsy acolyte.

"If by that you mean hands, then yes. I've contacted a specialist about the matter who should be delivering any day now."

Hmm. This one was sporting a Decepticon symbol. That could go badly.

oh my god this is already a beautiful hatemance I love Pharma *-*

Starscream was never the most culturally sensitive, and taking hold (albeit gentle hold) of one of his arm stumps, examining it without asking permission, or anything like that, he asked, "What happened to you, exactly?"

He eyed Pharma up and down, nothing threatening in his stance or tone, just wildly inappropriate curiosity.
organ_pharming: (not in the mood for your shit)

PERSONAL SPACE BUBBLE DAMNIT STARSCREAM

Pharma's mouth turned down in a prickly grimace as the decepticon easily managed to pick the topic of conversation he least wanted to discuss. He tugged his wrist out of Starscream's grip and cleared his throat. "Do you mind?"

Fanning his wings and moving away a step, he gave his standard reply, "I was attacked. By a maniac with swords."

HE'S JUST GETTING TO KNOW HIM getting to feel free and easy

[personal profile] ex_dishonestly997 2012-08-15 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Aha. It doesn't look like they were professionally removed, no. Not that I'm a medic. That maniac wouldn't happen to be here, on this Cybertron, would he?"

At least he stopped trying to get all touchy on Pharma, feeling his case made for the moment.
organ_pharming: (creepy creep)

NO SINGING

"I am a medic. And if they were, what would you propose I do about it?" Pharma inquired, trying to gauge the flier's reason for asking.
Edited 2012-08-15 00:42 (UTC)

.... ;-; not even it's a small world after all?

[personal profile] ex_dishonestly997 2012-08-15 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
"I wouldn't propose you do anything about it. You're not exactly a warrior--but maybe I could do something about it for you."

He shrugged, a simple and efficient oscillation of his shoulders, "Unless you'd rather leave it."
organ_pharming: (shoulder gun)

especially not that

[personal profile] organ_pharming 2012-08-15 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
"One does not have to be a warrior to cause harm," the jet replies, optics narrowing. "Oh? And what would you gain from doing me such a favor, decepticon?"

bawww *fine*

[personal profile] ex_dishonestly997 2012-08-15 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Come on, don't be that way." Starscream purred, the hum of his engines kicking up a little as he walked back over to the Sharkticon and started fiddling with a handful of wires, "The war is over. Reunification is my primary interest. --What did you say your designation was, again?"
organ_pharming: (stern face)

don't cry baby

[personal profile] organ_pharming 2012-08-15 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Pharma watches him play with the mess of his test subject, bristling with an aura of guardedness.

"The war wasn't over where I came from. And even if it was, I can't imagine a decepticon would be interested in anything but starting it again."

The war was handy in that it kept offering him difficult surgeries that carried the fame of saving decorated heroes. If it ended, well, it wouldn't be as easy to get those accolades.

"My name is Pharma. If we're from the same world you've probably heard of me."

[personal profile] ex_dishonestly997 2012-08-18 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
The only tension was evident in the slight stiffening of his wings--and then his strained little smile. "I'd like to think Decepticons are smarter than that."

He cocks his head. "Vaguely. Delphi?"
organ_pharming: (mad medic)

[personal profile] organ_pharming 2012-08-18 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Why? Autobots sure aren't," Pharma snorts, still plenty irritated that most of the reason he was forced to cooperate with the DJD was that Autobot High Command wouldn't stop sending soldiers to the mine on Delphi.

"That was where I was stationed before I came here, yes." Disappointing that Starscream isn't mentioning any of his amazing medical feats but... at least he'd heard of him?

[personal profile] ex_dishonestly997 2012-08-18 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Interesting. You don't seem to like many people very much." It was a casual statement, an observation. But perhaps he wouldn't be very happy if he didn't have any hands, he didn't know.

"Never got orders to strafe that place." He commented, slowly.
