[Action A, 457 Stone Street, Morning]

[Moments after the mailman arrived, Doofenshmirtz was bolting out the front door and rummaging through the mailbox, certain that THIS TIME, something would have been given back to him. He had done the same thing yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, and come up empty-handed except for

[Leias wanders up, absently rubbing the new scars on his face, one just above the eye and one between the eye and nose. He considers a moment before knocking on the partially opened door]

Everything alright in there?

[doofenstrudel]

Eh? What?

[There's clattering and clanking from inside the garage, along with some frustrated muttering.]

Gah, blast it, I... grrr, get back here, you stupid screw... ARRGH!

...Do you mind? I am somewhat busy in here!

[twototheskull]

[Leias recognizes the voice from a few days ago]

"Is that you doc? Need help in there? I know my way around a workbench.

[doofenstrudel]

...eh? It's you?

[He sighs. There is some additional shuffling of parts and tools.]

Come in, yes, yes, whatever, I could use an extra set of hands. Just... lift the door and duck under.

[Leias gives a bit of a grunt as he hefts the door up and slips under]

Sorry to disturb ya doc. It just sounded like you were having a bunch of trouble in here.

[doofenstrudel]

It's nothing, honestly... bah, this garage is not my lab! It's hardly up to standards! I hardly have anything to work with!

[He pulls a hand through his hair and groans. The place is a bit of a mess, and there's something that appears to be a cross between a bazooka and a vacuum cleaner lying on a table, half-finished.]

[Leias looks around, and then approaches the workbench, looking the device over]

What are ya working on? A Rock-It Launcher?

This is my Bald-Inator! [He motions across the half-built thing proudly.] With a single blast from it, all the hair on the target's head will fall out!

I have been sitting on the idea for a while. Today, I had a breakthrough!

Real life gets so nuts sometimes :(

[twototheskull]

[Leias gives the machine an appraising look]

That's an...interesting device to make. What sort of breakthrough was it?

Real life, and LJ's ability to let peeps post. D:

[doofenstrudel]

My degree in Evil! It arrived in the mail, today! This town had been... jamming my brain! It had removed something vital from me, I could not make something like this!

I feel like myself again! Ahahahaha!
