The Park [mid-afternoon]

[momslilassassin]

"Mee mee mee!" Ben, well, meeped at his grandfather as they walked through the park.

Anakin adjusted large glasses on his nose (which he didn't need) and stared way, way up at Ben (who was five inches shorter than he was). "Nonsense, Beaker," he tutted. "Nothing is going to go wrong with this machine! Soon we will be able to turn gold into cottage cheese!"

He turned to adjust the machinery on his invention. Which, yes, was invisible.

The gremlins had struck again!

[OOC: Come boggle! Yes, in the wrong comm. SHHHH.]

Robin was out for a swim in the pond when he heard the familiar strains of Beaker's dulcet tones. Only different. When he spotted the pair, he did something a Muppet did not do often. He boggled.

"Hi." he waved. "What are you guys up to?"

[sith_happened]

"Hello, Robin!" Anakin cried, adjusting his glasses. "Just performing a tiny experiment."

"What's going on here?" Kyle asked as he walked up to the Skywalkers. There was something odd happening. Something odd and probably funny.

She'd spent the morning out on the beach meditating, and was heading back up toward the school to see . . . that. Yes. It took about half a second for Tahiri to figure out what was going on.

And she'd just be over there, under a tree, laughing so hard there were almost tears.

. . . oh, look, she had her comlink on her today. (Apparently Riina found this funny enough too to not object to the mechanical thing.) Hello, convenient recording feature.

"...Did I just hear you say gold into cottage cheese?" Vince sound, wandering over. "Because that sounds brilliant."

[momslilassassin]

"Mee mee mee mee mee mee!" Beaker said hysterically, pointing at Honeydew.

Karla had been wandering around the park, hiding trying to figure out what the Hell had happened last night when shenoticed Ben and Anakin's psychic scents. Since they weren't currently on the list of 'people I don't have to hide from,' she altered her route to interest with theirs.

And then saw them. And listened to their conversation. And laughed.

Mother Night, this was exactly what she'd needed.

[momslilassassin]

"Mee mee mee!" Beaker flailed at her.

[sith_happened]

"Indeed you did," Honeydew said, squinting myopically through his glasses. "Are you a scientist as well?"

[momslilassassin]

"Mee mee mee mee mee mee," Beaker squeaked eloquently.

[weetuskenraider]

She might never let him live this down. "What about you?" Tahiri asked between giggles.

See, usually she only saw him this flaily when . . . ANYWAY.

Please let her be aiming her comlink the right way, and not at the grass?

"Oh, no," Vince said. "I don't even have a pocket protector. You've got to own one of those, if you're a scientist."

[glacial_queen]

Karla nodded solemnly. "Of course," she said. "That makes perfect sense." She felt a giggle coming on, and turned it into a hasty cough. "I'm quite pleased to bump into you and your...friend?"

[survivesplague.livejournal.com]

"Well, it figures that he would be to blame," Kyle noted. "Would you like to explain what's going on, Anakin?"

[momslilassassin]

There were now some very eloquent hand gestures as Beaker tried to explain that every time one Dr. Bunsen Honeydew performed an experiment, he, Beaker, ended up slightly charred.

Or he could have looked like he was explaining how to change a car tire.

[momslilassassin]

"Mee," Beaker said disdainfully. "Mee mee mee mee."

Dr. Honeydew was no friend of his today. Not when he was in experiment mode.

[sith_happened]

"I don't know an Anakin, but I would be happy to explain," Honeydew replied, adjusting his glasses. "I am Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, and he is my assistant Beaker!"

[sith_happened]

"You can also wear a very snazzy lab coat," Honeydew told him, yanking at the hem of the lab coat that he, well, wasn't wearing.

[likeabeachball.livejournal.com]

"That would be a great idea. Sequined lab coat, fluorescent pocket protector. Glasses with rotating colored lenses," Vince said. "Major geek chic."

[survivesplague.livejournal.com]

"Of course," Kyle said. "And what are you doing out here, Doctor?"

[sith_happened]

"Conducting an experiment!" Honeydew said. "We're going to turn gold into cottage cheese!"

Hugely useful experiment, that.

[sith_happened]

"Though you look fairly...chic now," Honeydew said. He hung around Hollywood actors in the 1970s (or at least, he thought he did). He knew chic.

[glacial_queen]

Karla had no idea what all the 'mees' were about, but she could catch onto disdain from about a mile or so away. "Oh, I see. My apologies. It must be very hard for you, all things considered."

[likeabeachball.livejournal.com]

"Why thank you," Vince said. "I tend to dress up for the day to day. Never know when you might find a talent scout when you're out to buy milk for the cat, you know?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Glasses, imitating Beaker? Anakin and Ben? Robin thought he had this figured out. "What kind of experiment Dr.?"
