third floor common room - monday after classes - 12/08

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

From the depths of his esoteric chamber crept the Thropp, his uneven gait a suiting punishment for the variety of unnameable and unknowable components which weighted his arms. Like a toll of doom, his shadow slipped sinuously over the counter, the oventop, yes, even the refrigerator as he entered the corner of the common room feared by many and bested by some few, brave souls such as he.

For hours did he toil at this task, sifting and stirring and beating, aye, beating the dough as a man possessed! The cauldron beside him bubbled with exotic potency to bewitch the nose and conjure forth the denizens of this strange architecture. And when his work was complete, the great flaming womb of darkness opened and it's fruit pulled forth, only then did he proclaim his triumph!

"Fresh bread and soup if anyone'd like," he said as he took his portion and retired to a corner of the common room to work out a bit of homework.

He shook his head.

"No, I didn't. I, er, I saw him through someone's memories, but I never met him, unfortunately."

Well that sounded interesting. "How'd you do that?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"It was part of a project I did for a class," he said. "To make something that could remember like a person. Bridge tested it for me."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Oh wow, which class was that?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

It was long enough that he didn't even hitch.

"Professor Ambrose's class. We all had to make inventions."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I remember him. Didn't he have a zipper on his head?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir nodded.

"He did. It was a side effect of an unfortunate situation."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin, was pretty sure he didn't want any details on that. "Was his class fun?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir smiled at that. He had to admit it had been.

"Yes. I learned a lot."

"I never really thought of inventing stuff. Though there was an inventor on my Uncle's Show. His inventions didn't always go so well though."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Some of ours didn't either," he admitted.

"And it wasn't even a science I knew of until here. But I enjoyed it."

"How did you test your inventions?" Robin asked, thinking of a certain hapless laboratory assistant who spoke in a language only some Muppets could understand.

"I had someone borrow it to remember things without me knowing about them," he admitted. "I don't know how everyone else did."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"So, it was a machine that, recorded memories?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He shook his head.

"It was a series of crystals and wires. Not really a machine."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"But it recorded memories, and then...remembered them as if they were it's own?"
