Was that the first time the castle changed to someone's home? Percy's wasn't too bad. Action packed, certainly. I know the castle changes. I've been here long enough with the pirates and Paris and all. I just would hope the castle doesn't see fit to change back to my home.

At least for the sake of people who know me. [Considering how many people tend to die around her. Although being stranded on an island wouldn't be so bad. Although it wouldn't be magical. And this many people, starvation was likely.]

Anyway, I got an interesting sword out of the deal-- even though I'm really not the type to fight.

It king of feels good to be back in the castle, having my tools and the library. [Which means she's back to building for any of those that were wondering. Which clearly means she needs to be bugged. She's currently in the lobby.]

Oh, does anyone have access to a lab where I can test some radioactive materials. Yes, I know what I'm doing. I just don't want to subject the castle to it, but it's kind of vital to what I'm building.

Is the place you're from so embarrassing? [it probably isn't the case, but that was a rather vague description]

[signedlefthanded]

No. It's just-- dangerous.

[squartatore]

[almost dryly:] Wow, my surprise levels are all the way up here.

You left and came back recently, right? Are you prepared for what might await if the next world change goes there?

[ino]

It changes to where someone lives all the time.

[signedlefthanded]

Not even a little. [Because either option, either being in the city or stranded on an island would not be good.]

[signedlefthanded]

This was the first it was someone I knew. I thought it was just random before.

[ino]

Yeah. Well, I know there's someone around here who owns Pokémon, and it's changed into the place where they live twice ... and it's been my village before, too.

[signedlefthanded]

I have a Pokemon. I didn't know that was someone's home. [This is pretty interesting.]

I wonder why the Castle changes to actual people's homes.

[ino]

Probably to mess with us. If it feeds on emotions like that, then what better way to make people feel homesick, or upset, or whatever feelings they have tied to where they come from?

[signedlefthanded]

That is a good point. I feel like all of my losses have been like that.

[ino]

Yeah, that's usually the point of a loss, too, as far as I've seen.

[a little sigh]

But in any case, there's been a few places where nobody here lived. I don't think anyone here lived in Paris when we went there.

[Part of him wants to say "Aren't you a little young to be experimenting with radioactoivity?", but he considers his own childhood, building simple robots that annoyed his parents enough to have his IQ tested before he was skipped out off high school, and sent to MIT at 16.]

I've...uhh...got an isolation chamber in my workshop, actually. I've been testing different power sources for my inventions. You're free to use it, if you want.

( curiosity piqued )

What exactly are you building that requires radioactive materials?

[signedlefthanded]

A machine that detects background radiation.

[bornofwisdom]

Is there a reason for needing something like that here?

[signedlefthanded]

Someone asked me to build it for a theory they had.

[bornofwisdom]

That's as good a reason as any other, I suppose.

[signedlefthanded]

So it's more or less random. Like everything else.

[signedlefthanded]

That would be great! Thank you.

[signedlefthanded]

It's what I do. He asked.

[bornofwisdom]

What kind of theory is it? Something to do with the castle—?

[zeke_developer]

It's no problem. My energy research has slowed down a bit lately, so it's just been standing empty anyway. What are you working on, if you don't mind me asking?

[signedlefthanded]

Where it gets its magic, he's thinking.

[bornofwisdom]

I'm not sure that radioactivity equates to magic, honestly.

Radioactive... [ THAT SEEMS SCARY... ]
