Ed is in the bar, in a booth, with a diagram spread out before him. He doesn't seem to really get it at all - he'll pick it up every so often, squint at it or turn it over, all the time looking a bit confused ( Read more... )

Duo wanders up behind Ed and pokes him in the (flesh) shoulder. "What the hell were you all worked up about? I was eating dinner on the other side of the bar and I could hear you."

maxwellsdemon02 February 21 2006, 05:48:00 UTC

"I..."

Dammit.

"No, and why would I?" Duo sticks his chin out.

notashortbean February 21 2006, 06:03:08 UTC

Ed blinks.

Apparently, he hadn't expected Duo to say that.

So now Duo earns a very suspicious look.

maxwellsdemon02 February 21 2006, 06:10:57 UTC

His look back heavily implies: 'You gotta problem with that?'

"....all I'm saying," Ed says, finally, "Is that if he's a jerk, he's gonna answer to me."

maxwellsdemon02 February 21 2006, 06:27:04 UTC

Duo's smile is almost incandescent. "You won't ever need to meet him, then."

Although he probably would have welcomed an Ed to bitch at the other night.

notashortbean February 21 2006, 06:28:59 UTC

"What, I don't even get to scope him out? See what the big deal is?"

Ed looks almost insulted at this.

maxwellsdemon02 February 21 2006, 06:43:49 UTC

Duo stifles his laughter, because Ed probably doesn't know he sounds like he wants to steal Duo's boyfriend.

Probably.

"Sure you can."

notashortbean February 21 2006, 06:45:24 UTC

"Fine."

This satisfied, Ed waves his paper at Duo.

"Know anything about rockets?"

maxwellsdemon02 February 21 2006, 06:51:17 UTC

Duo snatches the paper and looks at it, eyebrows rising higher and higher on his forehead. "...yes, actually."

notashortbean February 21 2006, 07:06:50 UTC

"...really."

Ed gives him a look sort of like a puppy.

"Help me figure it out?"

maxwellsdemon02 February 22 2006, 03:35:28 UTC

"We're sort of from different time periods, Ed." Duo peers at the plans, only getting more confused.

"Who worked on these, anyway?" Several crossed out lines, arrows pointing everywhere... Obviously several enthusiastic and brilliant, if not organized, minds.

"I dunno how you'd get the power to fly the thing, though."

notashortbean February 22 2006, 03:57:27 UTC

"Everyone in my house. Only two of 'em know what the crap we're doing right now, though. The big guy and Alfo -- someone else. The rest of us are still fumbling around."

Yeah, that coverup of a name? He doesn't want to think about the double of his brother right now.

"And I have no idea what'll power it, either! I'm trying to figure it out, but this is -weird-. If this was alchemy, I could just make it go with the right elements."

But nooo, science had to be complicated.

maxwellsdemon02 February 22 2006, 04:09:14 UTC

Duo rubs the back of his neck under his braid. "I could probably build a shuttle from the ground up, back at home. But how the hell are you even going to-"

He shakes his head. "You could probably get a pretty respectable height with no one inside, but I dunno how you'd get anywhere without computers."

notashortbean February 22 2006, 04:18:10 UTC

Ed looks quite, quite blank.

"Com-pu-tars?" He repeats, awkwardly stumbling over the word.

maxwellsdemon02 February 22 2006, 04:41:21 UTC

"..."

Duo makes a face, wondering how the hell to explain this one. Computers are more basic than the facts of life at home.

"Picture an array that can calculate things for you, and answer questions. You tell and ask it things through a typewriter, and anyone can use it."

He pauses to eye Ed suspiciously. "You do have typewriters, right?"
