More of the Dr. Horrible/Night at the Museum thing, with more emphasis on the latter. Spoilers for Night at the Museum 2, once again.
( in which Larry asks about a brainwave )

Exciting! Can't wait to see where this goes!

I'm not sure where it's going yet (or how quickly), but I do think Larry would eventually bring up the idea. It's a question of whether Doc would take him up on it. XD
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

What a genius idea! Very clever! I like it.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
(It's the sort of connection Larry would make, if given cause and time. Whether it'll be worth pursuing, who knows, but.)

Yay, more of this story! :)

I hate to pick a nit, but I thought one of the points of the movies was that the tablet animated the plastic/plaster/whatever figures in the exhibits and maybe gave them the memories of the people/things they're fashioned to look like. I mean, when push came to shove, "Teddy Roosevelt" admitted he knew he wasn't the real thing in the first movie, and they all seem to know on some level (unless they're delusional). Granted, the monkeys and other critters that can reasonably be assumed to be the real thing (just taxidermied) also come alive, but either way, I highly doubt Akhmenrah is actually the original boy-king. Would it work on dead people? Maybe. (Ah, the complications of hand-wavy kids' movie science.) I just don't think the movies ever demonstrated that specifically (although if it does, that offers slightly eerie/dark/interesting possibilities if/when Larry dies). However, instead of having to come up with a way for Dr. Horrible to have preserved Penny well enough for her to come back like the ( ... )

It's a fair point, but my interpretation is drawing a bit on Cecil et al. in the first film - who were making off with the tablet because it re-energized them. Between that and Cecil saying the museum has 'the pharaoh himself,' I figure there's room to say it works on everyone.
(And I have a feeling that if Egypt heard someone had a sarcophagus/treasure without the accompanying mummy, for no good reason, they'd be full of 'GET THAT SHIT BACK HERE.' They could be anyway, all things considered, but there'd be a lot of missing the point if someone took a sarcophagus apart to that extent. [I also suspect Akhmenrah was actually glad to get out of his tomb, after so long cooped up in there. At least in Cambridge and New York, even before anyone opened the sarcophagus, there were more interesting things going on. XD ( ... )
