Ugh, I feel like this is all I do anymore...

Newcomers. Doubtless you've heard the basics of where you've found yourself already, from your so-called "family" or otherwise. Dist the Rose is here to give you a more in-depth explanation; that is, a letter that I myself have been so generous as to compose for you. I'm giving one out to anyone who asks, new or old; for those who have the old version, I've updated it to include the basic gist of what happened last month.

Simply come to either the library or my home, at 1767 Beaver Street. Any drone should be able to tell you where the library is; I'll be in and out of the shelves myself. Look for a slender man with pale hair and glasses.

[Action A]

[If you go to the library earlier in the day, you will indeed find Dist wandering in and out of the rows of books, alternately doing the shelving and sorting that the job requires and peeking through the books himself, pausing every so often to write down a title.]

[Action B]

[On into the afternoon and evening, he's in his driveway, detaching the gun from the Kaiser's belly; it's scorched all to hell and clearly no longer functional. He really has no clue how he's going to fix it without just building a new one from scratch, and without his lab that in itself will be difficult. Dammit, Mayfield.]


(ooc note: if you're not interested in cr with dist, there's no need to post in; you can give your character the letter without threading with me if you'd prefer. ^^ it's out there for you guys; just assume dist gave it to you without incident[shockingly]. a bit of retroactive interaction is fine too, if this shows up before you officially intro; just don't, like... dig it up a week from now if your character wasn't here.)

...Really. What did she say about me?

[Of course, he could just say that he already works with Olivier in some capacity, but he's also a snoop who wants details when people talk about him.]

Well... she said that despite your quirks that you are a genius of impeccable worth.

Somehow I doubt that's all.

I was under the distinct impression that she found me worthless.

No, she has belief in your abilities.

And together, we can accomplish so much.

Well I suppose you're lucky, then. I'm one of her lieutenants; I head the machine faction of her army.

Undoubtedly.

You seem to have a way with engineering.. and that science from your world. What was it called again?

W-- !

[He's supposed to be surprised! Dist just pulled one over on him, sneakily! He huffs, but there is a compliment here to address.]

You could at least act startled! But yes, I'm a genius with engineering, and the machines from my world are called fontech. Fomicry is the replication process.

Terribly sorry. It takes a bit to shake my composure as I'm sure you understand.

And fontech and fomicry? How is it a replication process? How does it work?

Oh, you're just like Jade!

[Dist sulks mightily, not at all pleased with how his little joke played out.]

Fontech is just machinery that takes advantage of the properties of fonons, which are particles of sound. There aren't any here.

...Well, there are, but they're part of me and my things from home.

So, the machinery is powered by sound?

Sound particles. You can't just shout into a microphone and power up a complex piece of fontech.

Ah, of course.

Just anted to make sure Fontech followed conventional sciences. With all the differences between Universes, you can never be too sure.

You really can't. It has stopped being strange to me that this universe lacks something so fundamental; if I lost the rest of my fonons, I'd die or disappear. Losing half of them has already severely weakened me.

Perhaps there's some way for us to concoct a generator of fonons for you?

We'd be at a loss were we to lose another genius.

Mayfield has shown that one of its main interests is preserving its population. They won't take the rest of my fonons, because it would go against their agenda. Believe me, I'm not going anywhere.

Very good then.

Out of curiosity, what sort of 'science projects' would you be interested in collaberating on?
