[ Wheatley is sitting outside on the steps of his house. He's outside a lot, mostly because, well, you would be too if you spent decades in a laboratory with closed spaces everywhere. That and the fresh air smells and tastes a lot better than Aperture air. Or, he's guessing, anyway

[You've got someone curious, at least. A blond girl leans on the fence and inquires in a synthesized-sounding voice.]

What are those for? ♪

[flashlightdeath]

Hm?

[ He's got a wire in his mouth, just as a third place to hold something, and picks it out, setting it on his lap instead. ]

These? Are potato batteries! You use them to power electrical things, like clocks or radios or something. M'making a whole bunch of them at the moment!

[doublerinbow]

For what? Are you trying to power a bigger electronic like a computer? ♪

[flashlightdeath]

Haven't really thought of what do with them specifically. I've got quite a little army of them, at the moment.

[ Looks at the done ones. ]

I made a prety awesome one once, though, maybe I'm just reminiscing.

[friendly_ghosts]

Hey, Mister? What are you doing?

[flashlightdeath]

Making potato batteries, of course!

[ Holds one up to show. ]

See?

[friendly_ghosts]

[/Fascinated.]

You can make a battery from a potato?

.......

Are you a magician?

[ Man, he hasn't been around little girls a lot since being here, but he's come to find that most of the ones he's met are either weird or adorable. Thankfully, this one is definitely the latter. ]

Oh no, no this is just science. It can do some awesome stuff. You know what this can do?

[ He turns it all about, leaning in a bit and grinning. ]

I can use it to power a clock, or a radio, or any other tiny electronic. I bet you, with the ones I made now, that I could power a toaster.

.....

[...oh she is going to kill you, you little spherical-]

Taking up a hobby?

[flashlightdeath]

Yep. Look!

[ Holds up one of the finished potato batteries. ]

Maybe I can find a small yellow light, and... h-heheh... I could make another version of you! Well obviously not you you, but...

[getsciencedone]

Of course, another version of me.

Only not at all.

Don't you have anything better to do with your time?
