[With the return of the Mess Hall and the Mess Hall bulletin board has come a neat sign, something along the lines of this:

That was great of him. I'm sure his notes will be a big help.

... And I'd like to second the bananas question!

[its_the_mask]

I'd like to transcribe them into electronic format to be able to share them with everyone, but given how little I know of magical theory, and how little camp computers respect authorial integrity, I'm not sure that I could pull that off myself.

Hopefully someone thought to bring snacks.

[skrullfking]

We should ask someone who knows more about computers, or magic, or both, to help.

Yeah. I could... go for a salad actually.

[its_the_mask]

Ash might be a good person to ask, although he'd need to be brought up to speed about computers.

Salad, huh. How do you feel about tofu?

[bulletwthmyname]

...you weren't a primate earlier.

[its_the_mask]

Hello, Ash.

[bulletwthmyname]

Hi, Robin. Shall I ask, or no?

[its_the_mask]

First time this happened, it was right after I launched a serious poll aimed at finding out whether there was a correlation between the strength of people's attacks and the effects they received from the barrier. At this stage, my theory is that something in our research provoked this response.

I've already seen some of his notes, but I'm interested in any new materials.

[currently eating a banana. it is delicious]

[its_the_mask]

I've got some developments in my energy weapon project that might interest you. It ... um.

[Distracted by banana.]

[drink_this]

It...?

[ignoring your distraction. boy, this banana really is good]

[its_the_mask]

Yeah, it seems like it'd be ... right up your alley.

[climbing across the notes and everything for better staring.]

*trundling in on his wagon*

So guys, ... I see I'm not the only one.

[bulletwthmyname]

...Harper?

[jackintomyport]

Apparently!

Some of my tools are nearly as big as I am now.

*small monkey is small*

[bulletwthmyname]

You're pretty tiny. Any idea why you're a monkey?

*A computer speaks!*

[sod_off_spark]

We have no bananas today. On the other hand, I do have a lot of runtime that I'm not currently devoting to much, so if you have anything for me to chew on, I'd love to help.

[drink_this]

Hello~ I don't think we've met?

Re: *A computer speaks!*

[sod_off_spark]

Hello to you to. My name is Cortana, and I'm an Artificial Intelligence from a 26th century. I won't say 'THE 26th century' because that kind of thing seems flexible around here.

Re: *A computer speaks!*

[drink_this]

Very flexible, Cortana-san. Welcome to the Barrier Research Group.
