The day after getting a blast from the past, Shari finds herself knocking on Cam's door. "Hey, Doc, you home?"

Posted: **Wed Mar 29, 2017 8:21 pm**

"Yes yes yes, come in."

This might be the first time Shari had ever seen Cam NOT fidgeting. He sat, cross-legged on his bed, staring at the wall.

Posted: **Wed Mar 29, 2017 8:25 pm**

Shari comes in and looks at him. Then at the wall. Back to Cam. Then she moves over to stand next to him and looks back at the wall.

"I'm missing something..." she concludes.

Posted: **Wed Mar 29, 2017 8:50 pm**

"The sheer amount of what other people miss is staggeringly large in magnitude," Cam muttered, turning around.

"Was there....is there something you need, Shari?"

Posted: **Wed Mar 29, 2017 9:13 pm**

"Maybe. I mostly just wanted too see if you got anything that needs doing..."

Posted: **Wed Mar 29, 2017 9:21 pm**

"At the moment, no. It's all trashed.

I was working on a device that would help try to restore your lost memories, but the....jackasses here broke it and left. Cruel, heartless people here."

Posted: **Wed Mar 29, 2017 9:29 pm**

"Dude, seriously...? That's kinda cool of you. Not so cool that people are breaking your stuff. Who was it? I could jack some of their stuff. Or at least toilet-paper their room."

Posted: **Wed Mar 29, 2017 9:41 pm**

"I have no idea. Some girl of some description," he shrugged. "Nothing notable. Just another passing face."

Posted: **Wed Mar 29, 2017 11:53 pm**

"You really don't pay peoples' faces much mind, huh? I mean... you did notice mine changed, yeah?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 12:09 am**

"Hrm?" Cam said, looking at her. "Oh, yeah, I guess it did. Why'd you do that?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 2:36 pm**

"It's just what I do. You build stuff, I change my face. Most people think it's shady, cause... I dunno. They're used to everyone being locked into one face. Their original one. I guess that's what I'm trying out right now..."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 5:48 pm**

"Ah, I see.

...Wait, what?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 6:41 pm**

"I remembered some stuff. It's... kinda messed up to be honest. But I figured I'd try to put a face on it and try it for a while. Kinda." she says with bit of a cringing smile.

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 9:21 pm**

"Oh. So, you don't need the memories restored anymore, then?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 10:37 pm**

"I guess not... But it was pretty sweet you were working on that."

Posted: **Thu Mar 30, 2017 10:41 pm**

Cam looked away at that. "Just trying to advance scientific progress. Nothing more."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 12:35 am**

"Of course, of course. Well, if you still need an assistant, our deal stands cause... well I still need to eat!"

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 12:45 am**

"Hrm? Agreement?

Oh, of course. Why would getting your memories back change anything? I'll still need someone to do all the grunt work when necessary. Of course. I can't be bothered to stoop down to it."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 4:11 am**

"Yeah, why would that change anything." she says with... almost a relieved chuckle. "Hey, what's with all the stuff in the boxes anyway? The guy who lives in the dorm kinda came back, so I shoved most of it into the closets. Are those, like, components or stuff you build or what?"

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 5:14 am**

"Hmm, your roommate came back? That could be a problem," Cam frowned. "I was looking forward to using that space.

It's raw materials -- a bunch of early, half-formed inventions, remnants of others, various wires and circuit boards for use in a pinch. A lot of it is probably garbage, but you never know when you can re-purpose something."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 6:14 am**

"Can't you, like, build a shrinkray or something? Make it all fit on a shelf."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 6:15 am**

"Yeah. Problem is, it doesn't STAY shrunk. After too long, the molecules return to their normal size, or worse."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 6:30 am**

"Exploding closet, bad, okay. But how long are we talking? Couple hours? Days? Weeks?"

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 7:12 am**

"It depends on a wide number of variables," he said, waving his hand. "But primarily, the fact that they need to be frequently observed.

...By me. It doesn't work if I'm not there.

YET. It doesnt' work YET," he hastily corrected.

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 3:59 pm**

"Huh. What you need is some kinda gizmo that makes you be there without being there."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 7:25 pm**

"Issue is, that gizmo likely wouldn't work without me being there in and of itself. You'd have to have a fractalized system with multiple, interrelated redundant backup processes."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 7:37 pm**

"Hmm, okay... Like those Russian Dolls?"

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 8:05 pm**

"Yes, but backwards and inside out, and infinitely more complex."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 8:21 pm**

"Okay how about... it's just one machine with a really long cable so it can be in two places at once, one of them being where you are?"

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 8:40 pm**

"Issue there is that I'm mobile. Wires are the tyranny of the 20th century."

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 10:35 pm**

"Wifi then?"

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 11:38 pm**

"I...doubt it. I suppose it's worth trying..." he mused.

Posted: **Sat Apr 01, 2017 7:57 pm**

"Classes are already paying off." she nods, ignoring the fact that they have noting to do with this, even if she'd retained enough of them.

Posted: **Sat Apr 01, 2017 8:34 pm**

"Well, that's what they're there for. Maybe one day, we could even have something approaching an intellectual conversation."

Posted: **Sat Apr 01, 2017 10:13 pm**

"Was that a compliment? I mean, in Cam-speak?" she smiles despite the obvious insult. Giving people shit to paper over insecurities was something she could kind of understand. In a way her turning down obviously needed help falls into the same general idea as Cam being a boisterous social-idiot.

Posted: **Sun Apr 02, 2017 12:24 am**

"It's just a fact. Though we'll have to see if there's enough room for facts in your head now that you have all of those memories and things back in there."

Posted: **Sun Apr 02, 2017 5:59 am**

"Pretty sure that isn't how that works. I... think it might help, actually. I used to help some pretty terrible people with their... stuff. Kind of. I mean, not really applicable I hope, but, you know. You don't really build shit that hurts people."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:01 am**

"Well, that's not the goal, at least.

Terrible people, huh? You shouldn't do that."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:05 am**

"Now you tell me." she jokes.

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:52 am**

"Well, I didn't know you then. How was I expected to tell you that before?"

Xaviers!
