[If you're visiting the pottery house, you'll probably notice a corner of it has been transformed. Bruce has all of his equipment out and set up. There's a blanket folded in the corner with a pillow on top of it. The equipment hasn't been touched, save for the time it took to set it up and he's sitting, glasses on and scribbling furiously in his journal, looking up only to read what's on his laptop.

Bruce's been quiet for a long while. He hasn't been in cell in nearly a week. So where is he? Is he even here? Well here's the answer to that question.

There is a post from Bruce today. Except it's nothing intelligable. In fact, it is a long string of scientific formulas and incomprehensible notes about gamma radiation. THough he's carefully ommitted any mentioning of the hulk. His laptop is dying and without a source of electricity there's nothing he can do to save it. He can't be without his research and notes so he's copying them all here for his own reference. It's taken up a number of pages in his journal and at break in the note, Bruce scribbles a note to the Keep at large.]

Sorry for all of this. Need to save it before my laptop dies. Just ignore it.

Interesting.

sorry if it's bothering you

It's not bothering me.

*Some of that may be familiar to Sollux, but some of it is well beyond his realm of understanding. Its simple enough to tell that its some sort of formula, though.*

...you have a computer?
ii may know how you can get power for iit.

oh good. Can't lose this.

Where?

can ii look at iit? your computer.

[That's...well...Bruce has all of his important stuff encrypted. Contacting Mr. Blue is out of the question. He tried. Still...]

Why?

ii ju2t want two 2ee how far along the technology iin your world ii2.

*That and its been way too long since he's even SEEN a computer that wasn't his husktop. ~~Don't hold out on him man!~~*

ii'll 2how you how two 2eal entriie2. 2o iif you have two do thii2 agaiin you won't have two 2end iit out two the whole keep.

[................

Fine. It's not like Sollux can get into any of his shit. And know how to seal sounds like a good deal.]

Okay. I'm in the Pottery House.

ii'll be riight there.

*Or there within five minutes, at least. For the record, Sollux's face is all puffy, he has two black eyes and a number of other bruises about his head. His lisp is gone too, since he's missing quite a few teeth, but his voice is strained with pain and a bit muffled instead.
He peeks into the pottery house, then goes straight for the guy with the laboratory.*

...it was Bruce, right? I'm Sollux, if you didn't catch it.

*He's trying to cover up being excited, but its not all that easy.*

[Bruce looks up when he hears the door opening. Can never be too paranoid when people are after you, y'know? He knows Blonsky and his folks haven't followed him here, but old habits and all that. But, Sollux isn't what he's expecting.]

Are you okay?

[It's the doctor in him. Forgive him.]

*Sollux frowns.*

I always look like thi-- oh, you mean the bruises?

*Bruises which were much yellower than humans usually had.*

Yeah, I guess.

[Bruce'll take the kid's word for it. He certainly doesn't want to alienate anymore people.]

All right.

[He motions with his head for Sollux to follow.]

My laptop's over here.

*Its appreciated, not enough people here don't pry. Sollux follows Bruce, eyeing the laptop, but he won't touch it until the man says something.*

[Bruce doesn't want to make anyone else mad. I don't think he can handle it. He opens the lid and the screen brightens to show his...surprisingly empty desktop. There's only a shortcut to solitare and a word processor.]

There's only about an hour and a half left on the battery so, enjoy it while you can.

*Sollux isn't about to try and hack it with Bruce standing right there, ~~he'll have to get his hands on it again later~~ so all he does is pull up the system information and look over that. And fuck with solitaire for a couple seconds. It barely takes any time at all.*

There are outlets in the main kitchen and the fourth floor of the library, by the video games.

*He turns from the computer and gets his journal out.*

If you get your book out, I can show you how to seal things.

Thank you.

[Sollux if you take Bruce's computer, he will hulk out on you.

Bruce grabs his journal from where he's been working and returns to Sollux.]

Okay, what do I do?

No problem.

*Sollux can understand that. Doesn't mean he cares, though.
Um, and so, he shows Bruce how to lock entries and replies! And there was much rejoicing. Yay.*

[Everyone will blame you when Bruce breaks the keep.]

Thanks this is. Very useful. [And now he'll just seal all of his science-y mumbo jumbo.]

*He's already let the Moose out, might as well go for two here.*

I don't think you'll find the sort of radiation you were working with here. I'm not sure if any of the forces here are ones any of us are familiar with.

[He's not looking for gamma radiation. He's looking to cure it.]

I-I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

*Sollux shrugs and stands up.*

Unless you have any other questions, I'm going.

*And, in fact, he will if that's the case.*

What's it for, exactly?

Ah, my research that I can't afford to lose. Since I've got all this time on my hands, I thought I should work on it.
