[Day 234] [Voice|Open|Backdated to Pre-Morning Announcement]
[So it's just after four in the morning and a certain someone has been skipping sleep for a few days now, working on different projects. It's harder to get things to work when you don't have that much in materials to build with, but Richie keeps at it. Even if he can't build, he can at least design. It's not like the days of little distraction give him less time to come up with ideas for new inventions. He just finished drawing the schematics for a solar-powered motorbike.

He takes another sip of his coffee only to realize it's chilled and grimace at the cold. And then another idea hits him and it's awesome but he doesn't have anyone to tell just how awesome it is. So he makes a call, which he completely thinks is privated to Zatanna, but he's running on two hours of sleep in the last three days, so.]

Yo, Zee...what do you think about a solar powered motorbike with--get this. A self-regulating drink holder! It would be amazing right? It would go great with the helmet with the built-in voice-command wifi and satellite radio. I'd just need to design to add-in an sensor for controlling the temperatures between coffee, iced tea, and warm milk.

[His tone is a bit manic, but energetic. He's past the point of fatigue to the kind of crazed euphoria that is a sign of a bad crash to come.]

	[Yuuri didn't actually sleep with the communicator on his head, but he didn't actually turn the sound off either and it didn't make it any further than the pillow next to him, so when it clicks on during a very vivid dream, he awakes suddenly.] No fire balls! I didn't take your dress, Wolfram! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Huh? [Richie is confused by that.] I pretty sure I don't have a dress to take, man. Sure you weren't hypnotized by an alien invader? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-26 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	[It's okay. Yuuri's pretty confused by it all too. He moves the headset closer, putting it on fully.] Richie? No, it's just what Wolfram wears to bed. Wait, what? Are there aliens on motorbikes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	put_it_in_gear 2013-08-26 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	[If Richie was more coherent, he probably would not be as cool with that statement.] He should wear fireproof clothes. And who said anything about aliens on motorbikes? Unless they're cool aliens. Aliens riding on space rocket motorbikes would be awesome. [Pause] Space rocket motorcycles! Why didn't I think of that before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-26 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	I think I should. Except he isn't actually here to set me on fire. [If it weren't so late...early? that statement would make him sadder.] Didn't you talk about the aliens and motorbikes? Space rocket... What time is it? [Yawn. He's not sure which of them is forgetting to make sense.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If he shows up, sleep in the bathtub. Probably safest bet. [Best logic for guys who set you on fire in bed.]

And it's four-oh...something. Not too early. And I'm working on a solar powered motorbike, but hey, the sun's in space right? You could so have a space rocket motorbike that's solar powered! No pesky atmosphere to get in the way. I could sell it to all the aliens. Get myself an intergalactic business going.

	Oh. [He's trying to process. He's trying to process it all so hard. Why is it happening so fast? Four oh something sounds really early.] But... What about the dome? [Don't do this, Richie. Don't make Yuuri be the voice of reason. No one wants that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	put_it_in_gear 2013-08-26 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Dome? Man, the dome will be fine! We'll all be home before I can finish building this baby. I'll just have to find a way to take the parts with me. Launching space rockets from under the ocean wouldn't work without a proper access to the surface. [Come on Yuuri, he's not that crazy.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-26 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah...that should help. Um, what makes you think we'll be home first? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	put_it_in_gear 2013-08-26 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	It's not like spare parts are just lying around. If I want a solar converter and temperature regulator for a space rocket I'm gonna have to get it elsewhere. Unless someone can create parts out of thin air. [Which would be amazing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-27 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Parts out of thin air? Um...I guess all the alchemists are gone, aren't they? [Not that thin air was very transmutable, but close!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	put_it_in_gear 2013-08-31 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Alchemists? [Not you have his attention a bit more firmly, Yuuri. Sort of.] You mean like...Philosopher Stone and copper-into-gold kind of alchemists? Why didn't anyone tell me we had one of those? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-31 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	Um... [He doesn't know much about the finer (or broader) points of alchemy.] I don't know. Maybe because they aren't here anymore? Fletcher used to teach alchemy at the school though. He'd make stuff out of other stuff. So I guess maybe copper into gold would work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	put_it_in_gear 2013-08-31 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	That is the worst missed opportunity ever. [Seriously how could he have missed out on a chance to talk with a real alchemist?] Sometimes prison really sucks. [Yes, because not being able to talk science with an alchemist is the worst thing about prison.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-09-03 12:20 am UTC (link)
	Well, maybe he'll come back? Or maybe there are others and I just don't know they're alchemists. You could ask? (Reply to this) (Parent)
