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!]

[He puts his hand to his mouth.]

...Hm. Could I ask how you came up with such an idea?

[Muttering as an aside:]

Similar, yet different...how intriguing.

[It looked like they went for the same end result, but went about it through different ways...and his program has joint skill crack.]

[meaningdies]

[Fuck your joint skill crack.]

It was relatively simple once I discovered that the emotional power of the internet - of any interconnected humans, really - could be transferred into fuel for a summoning.

[jumyouboshi]

[don't be hatin' on his improved gameplay mechanics

Alcor is clearly surprised, with eyebrows raised. He did trawl the internet from time to time, but to use emotions from it...was probably beyond his ability. (It didn't help that he himself was rather emotionally lacking/stunted/not exactly the most understanding as well.)]

May I ask how exactly you harnessed human emotions...?

[The mechanics, and whatnot. He knew that demon summoning could come about through strong human emotions and will, but for one to actually harness them with what he supposed was solely human technology was pretty damn impressive.]

[meaningdies]

Emotional energy can technically be transferred and stored in items, generally crystals. After some experimentation, I found that it could be - with some difficulty and magical assistance - transferred to a custom file type as well.

[jumyouboshi]

[He nods, taking that bit of information in.]

Ha...a cross of human ingenuity and demonic power...it's not so unusual. Magnetite would still remain an issue though, would it not?

[meaningdies]

True, though the system keeps track of that as well. It's mostly used to give demons extra skills, anyway.

[jumyouboshi]

[Similar to Add-Ons, he thinks. Although...Add-Ons were used during fusion, and not battle.]

An interesting approach. Skills, and nothing more?

[meaningdies]

Hm? Yes. Is there a problem with that?

[jumyouboshi]

Not at all. I was simply wondering if the benefits of Magnetite extended to fusion and inheritance as well.

[...Hm.]

[meaningdies]

In a way. It's possible to fuse demons carefully and transfer over their skills that way, though often times it's easier to simply fuse a strong demon with good stats and then fight with them until you can change their skills.
