Victor hadn't seen Topher in a while, so he stopped off on his way back from class.

"Working on anything interesting?" he asked from the doorway. "And hi."

"Trying to find an alternative to Fandom-sponsored vacationing," Topher said distractedly. "The internet is being a jerk about it. What's up?"

ultron_junior February 21 2013, 15:53:53 UTC

"Nothing, that's why I'm bugging you," Victor shrugged, moving into the room. "You don't want to go to Turkey?"

"Weather.com says it's gonna be hot," Topher complained. "And I don't really like boats. Are you going?"

ultron_junior February 21 2013, 16:08:13 UTC

"I like hot and I've never been on a boat long enough to know if I like them or not," Victor said. "So that's a yes. When's the next time somebody's going to offer me a free cruise, right?"

He leaned over to try to see Topher's screen. "What were you going to do instead?"

"Very possibly in the fall," Topher pointed out. Because Fandom. "There's some science fair in Baltimore that took sign-ups like a month ago," he said, tilting his screen so Victor could see. "Just public school kids from the city. But I figured if I can get in, I'll probably win, and the prize is a robot that makes ice cream, so..."

So: hacking.

"So, you're going to sign up and cream everybody," Victor summarized. "Nice. Know what you'll submit?"

"There's so many options," Topher sighed dramatically. "Maybe this 3D handheld game I've been working on. Or the repulsion gel I made with Ace last week."

ultron_junior February 21 2013, 17:18:02 UTC

"Jarvis was still bitching about the gel when I came in on Tuesday," Victor told him. "Stuff sticks like crazy in the corners."

This was not a 'so don't make it', simply a complaint.

"It washes off with water, he should quit complaining and just set off the sprinklers," Topher dismissed. "...Maybe when you're not there."

"Shop's empty at night unless Tony's working there," Victor said. "You would think his AI could figure out that's a good time to rinse things off, but..."

dollpocalypse February 21 2013, 23:02:05 UTC

"I guess Tony's creation isn't so smart after all," Topher concluded. "You're much more sophisticated."

ultron_junior February 22 2013, 00:56:09 UTC

"Weird compliment, but I'll take it," Victor decided. "Though to be fair, I didn't think of trying water on the gel either. So."

dollpocalypse February 22 2013, 03:30:24 UTC

Oh. Well. That was a good point. "Well, it's more his job than it is yours," Topher decided. "You couldn't do it without getting wet, and he's... a computer. So."

ultron_junior February 22 2013, 03:52:36 UTC

Victor blinked briefly at Topher. "And I'm only half a computer," he said. "And I look a lot worse with wet hair."

dollpocalypse February 22 2013, 03:57:26 UTC

"Exactly. His appearance would be untarnished."

Victor was half a computer with much better hygeine. It was a whole thing.

"The way I picture Jarvis if he had a body, he'd probably be fine with the wet hair thing," Topher mused. "I'm picturing kind of an old British dude who wears a suit and stands by a lot of doors."

A... butler...?
