Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[bigdamnprincipal]

In order to give people a place to get away from the traffic jam of the buffet and information tables, most of the chairs and tables for guests were set up further out on the lawn, under a tall blue and gold tent. There was plenty of room for everyone to sit down and enjoy themselves, but it might not have all been dry. Did we mention being grateful that it was just water falling from the sky?

[OCD is up! This is the FIRST post for general mingling. Please use this post first, if your browser can handle the comment load. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here and there's more room for mingling here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Of course it did," Bruce said. Blast that Anakin Skywalker. "I'll keep that in mind for tomorrow. Has the island stopped anywhere besides the viking village and here?"

"There was a Japan with robots--" WHICH WAS AMAZING. "--Eygpt, some weird west with mechanical spiders that ran on steam..."

Someone needed to pay more attention to where they went.

"So, a lot of moving."

"And a lot of robots," Bruce noticed. "Sounds like you've had fun."

"I got manuals on them." Oh god, he was such a nerd.

"Just don't build any that are going to rampage in the town, okay?" Bruce asked. It was more of a Pym thing anyway.

"I've never done that before, I don't think this streak will change in the future."

Sentient systems that want to date him, on the other hand...

"Glad to hear it," Bruce said. "Out of curiosity, have you actually built a working robot before?"

"Well, it was a toy, so I don't think it counted," Tony replied. "I've been giving thought to an AI system to help run simulations while I'm in class."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011]

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Bruce asked. "What kind of simulations?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011]

"For new designs." Of various things. With armor. SHHHH. "I've been looking into prosthetic limbs based off what I saw in Japan. It would make a good project when I have my company back."

Bruce was admittedly about to stereotype here, but when you have a magical island traveling through space and time stopping in a Japan with robots and cybernetic body parts, some assumptions just got made. "Those limbs don't have weapons in them, do they?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011]

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"I don't design weapons." BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONE TONY STARK THAT DID THIS OR SOMETHING. ALSO, HE WAS A GODDAMN HIPPIE. "But I suppose they could be used as them if someone really wanted to. They'd be durable enough for it."

"Just wanted to make sure," Bruce said. "I'd offer funding for something like that, but I doubt you'd want to bring that kind of technology to WayneTech. Especially since I don't technically run it yet."

"You could always present the idea to your research and development department when you get there," Tony suggested. Because his department cried when they had to work through his projects.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011]

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I will," Bruce said. "I've been keeping a list of ideas to give to them when the time comes."

Like a rotary car phone?

"I can let you know how far I am on it when you get to that point. It's pretty much just a lot of reverse engineering the smaller details right now."

Understatement of the century.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011]

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Rotary car phones already existed, of course. C'mon.

"Define 'smaller details,'" Bruce prodded.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011]

"A majority of the technology functions off this base of... micro-machines that are connected to the human nervous system," Tony replied. "Which is proving hard to accomplish with what I have at the moment. It's completely different from anything I've ever seen before."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011]

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"You're right. That's a tiny detail," Bruce said. "Let me know how it works out. And if there's anything I can do to help without being a test subject..."

Because Bruce remembered the last time he let Tony use him as a test subject.

Hey, it was one time!

"Oh no, this won't be ready for testing for a long time. I haven't even managed to complete a prototype yet."
