((Permission granted by Hodgins!mun! And Bones!mun, obviously, because... that's me XD Zack's italicized things are his written responses.))There were two thoughts running through Zack Addy's head, for the time being, and he wasn't entirely sure which to focus on first. On the one hand... Oh, man, this castle was too cool. Intricate brickwork,

He couldn't help himself. He needed to know. He grabbed at Hodgins' shoulders once he was close enough, eyes wide. "Is this a cult? Is Dr. Brennan dead? They're trying to get me to kill Barney, or possibly Carrottop. Not entirely sure on that matter, although they both could deserve some form of capital punishment." His gaze had grown vaguely thoughtful at that, eyes moving to the ceiling and... Right, focus, Zack. "Sexual harassment? What's going on?"

Or maybe he'd just been a terrible social outcast during his youth, being incredibly intelligent and a total weirdo. Who knew?

Don't sound like that'd be very entertainin', though. Bunch'a kids got ever'thin' and oh, horrors, they're bored? I'd trade problems with 'em in a heartbeat.

She had a Southern accent, one associated with the deeply southern states. Baptists? Perhaps she had been sheltered, an extremely stereotypical, overly-religious suppression of outside sources. It was a theory. "Your parents, were they Catholic?" he asked out of the blue.

Way to break out the finger quotes, Zack. That wasn't even entirely true. He'd watched Ten Things I Hate About You, Sweet Home Alabama, Legally Blonde, AND Miss Congeniality, in some sort of bland hope of understanding women.

"Well, how about something with cars. And explosions. Anything like that?"

"Nachos are good," she offered.

"Of course they are," he replied with widened eyes, suppressing the slow grin that was threatening to start pulling at him. "They're practically a staple amongst humanity, children and adults, men and women alike!"

Anatomically speaking, Lily Evans-Potter hair was aesthetically pleasing. Natural red was a rare color, so far as hair went, and tended to appeal to the eye, didn't it?
Zack shook Sirius' hand, a little loosely. He wasn't used to shaking hands. "Zack Addy." He thought of adding something about being sorry for not picking Sirius on that, no offense, he just didn't swing that way, but... that might have been a bit awkward, on Zack's part. "And... you don't know what a robot is?" Screw the DVDs, that required attention! "A robot," he repeated in a flat tone, as if that would spark some memories. "Electro-mechanical anthropomorphisations." Oh, yes, because he was going to understand that so much better.

Whaaaaaat? Sirius didn't get the monotone at all, and while he understood 'electro-mechanical', sort of (his reading up on electricity and motorbike mechanics had paid off), he had no idea what they meant when linked to the last word, which was complete gibberish to him. (Wizarding education was fairly lacking when it came to English and literature.)
"Come again?" he asked Zack in a somewhat bewildered tone.

"Electro-mechanical anthropomorphisations," Zack repeated in that same definitive tone, shrugging a bit, as though he'd just said something as simple as 'the cat is Bob'. Okay, judging by Sirius' blank look, he'd have to break this down a bit, didn't he? "Electro-mechanical. Being that which combines the sciences of electromagnetism of electrical engineering and mechanics." Little more than that, Zack, not everybody's IQ's almost as high as DaVinci's. "Calculators, electrical motors, loudspeakers," he added by ways of example. "As for anthropomorphisation, that would be applying human characteristics to nonhuman beings, or inanimate objects."
In simple terms... that means it's a little, mechanical human.
