Science Rules! The Science and Knowledge Expo Kicks into Full Force!

[stringmods]

▼ Consider the Following......

 

Who: Anyone
Where: The entire city
When: June 8th-15th
Summary: Science and Knowledge Exop in the Leo Ward.
Warnings: That depends who is there. Remember to mark your titles clearly if any warnings need to be issued!

▼ You know what rules?

 

Science. Science and the inquiring mind has kept humanity on the path of progress for hundreds of thousands of years. What could make science rule harder?

A science showcase, of course! What better way spark the curiosity of the young and old by showing off the scientific achievements of the community. You have your things for the kids, your potato batteries and baking soda volcanoes and what-have-you, you have your higher-brow showcases of what the Department of Wands has been working on, your informative panels delving into biology, physics, chemistry and astronomy. There's even free food, including some molecular gastronomy creations for the...adventurous. There are even topics your average Visitor wouldn't think fell under the realms of science.

Such as? Why, like how Personas work (with explanations that aren't just "It's Magic") or discussions about demons, where they might come from, how they're different and similar to humans, how they use magic, and so on.

What kind of things will you and your friends discover? Perhaps you or someone you know is setting up an exhibit?

Regardless, enjoy the science fair and have fun!

[OOC: You are allowed to start a thread if you want your character to have a booth / hold a topic in a private room, or just do threads where you go around visiting. Projects and seminars are varied! Share your knowledge! Enjoy the science! Eat some really strange food! Try not to mix too much baking soda with vinegar!]

The whole thing seems fascinating - really, how does one prevent magic in a world that seems rife with it? Does it extend to Persona usage as well? A whirl of questions rise in his head, but really, there's only one suitable way to answer them all with ease.

He steps forward, raising his hand.

"Try it on me. It'll be interesting..."

Someone actually volunteering was not something Brainstorm expected. Hecklers that he could shut down, yes. However, a volunteer is a volunteer, so he takes aim at Terra.

"I'd say no complaining about it, but it's not like you would be able to," he remarks before pulling the trigger, sending a white bolt of energy at the organic - the sensation of impact is like a light touch, and it would indeed keep one's Persona from being called.

Of course the first thing Xehanort does is go to reply, but no words come out. He attempts to call up magic, to activate his Persona, to do anything - he even stomps his feet, surprised when they make no sound.

It's quite fascinating in its own way, and he can't help but smile a little even if it's vexing.

And so, Brainstorm gestures to Xehanort for the onlookers. "There you go folks, the proof is in the sound - or the lack thereof, in this case," he says with a coy chuckle. He flicks a switch on the weapon before using it again - after all, Xehanort was decent enough to step up and actually volunteer, so Brainstorm figures he's earned having the silence taken off.

It's almost disappointing to have the effect removed, but it gives him his voice back which means he can ask a very important question...

"How does it work?"

[universebeware]

"Weeeeell, using some of the knowledge I picked up in crafting the COMPs to merge technology and magic, it was a matter of crafting a device that can consistently replicate the effects of the Makajam and Mutudi skills. And then wrapping a gun around that for functionality."

In short, MAGIC! And also science bending this magic stuff to its will.
