So, who is going to explain to an old man exactly what Halloween is?

I suppose it's been long enough. One genius, seeking employment, lab access is a must. Oh, and I work alone.

Yes, I am that Nikola Tesla. No, I haven't just come from the last century. Or the one before that.

Okay. Not exactly an ideal time for a vacation. Normally I wouldn't complain, and this place definitely looks like my kind of place. Plenty to check out. But I've got something I need to get back to. People I need to get back to. They're not going to be So. Rain check?

WHO: Erik Lehnsherr & Nikola Tesla
WHAT: An impromptu chess game and Meet Cute
WHERE: The park
WHEN: Today
WARNINGS: Nikola Tesla is day drinking, but other than that...no
STATUS: Complete

It's been three days now of unsolicited thoughts about love and muffins which have no business in my head. Please tell me this can't continue much longer.

"Brigitte, what did you learn from the Atlanteans?" I'm glad you asked! The answer is a LOT. The first part is a bunch of chemistry that I won't bore you to sleep with, but I'll keep it short by saying they use controlled electrolysis to superheat metals like magnesium, which in turn function as the heat of an above-water forge! But that's not where it ends! They can either forge something entirely with this superheated metal (in excess of 5000 °F if they want!) or coat something else with it. That latter part is what I spent a lot of time learning. Imagine crafting armor or weapons out of wood, or porcelain, or even just bone or coral, then coating it with a lightweight but extremely durable metal outer shell. The applications are staggering! I'm hoping to set up a regular exchange with them :D

Oh and also my workshop from home showed up a few weeks ago, literally right behind the smithy. So you haven't been imagining that the place is nearly four times as large now. This means I have plenty of room to try and replicate what I've learned or build new feats of engineering! I'm pretty excited, someone may need to check on me from time to time to make sure I've remembered to eat!

A film is certainly a unique introduction to a kidnapping.

I suppose I needn't explain what will happen if I'm not set free?

Can't say I had any strong opinions on bunnies one way or the other before, but firmly on team fuck that now.

Visitors are pretty limited so just shoot me a message if you're headed over and I'll clear out. Or Bev if it's after 6.

Well, I know I had better things to do today. You know, the video is a nice touch, but a musical? Really?
