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!]

[So naturally the minty-haired teen has to wander on up, giving yet another (albeit this time single-person) applause.]

Great presentation! It really cleared up some things for me.

[meaningdies]

Ah, good. Did you have any other questions about it?

[bondsofsuffering]

A few, but... That would probably require me to have a greater understanding of programming.

[meaningdies]

Hehe. Ask them anyway - I might be able to break it down for you.

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, in that case...!

It got a little hard to follow when you started discussing [computer jargon here. At least he's got it memorized and is using it in more or less the correct context?]

[meaningdies]

... Ah. Essentially I was talking about computer file types needed in creating the system. Running the emotional energy through a special conversion system that I devised assisted in doing so. Much of the problem was network connectivity.

Essentially, all of the COMPs were hooked up to an internal network - no contact with any outside systems, but a direct link to the server. This required some... heavy software modification.

[bondsofsuffering]

Aaah, I think I understand now. Well, the gist of it anyway.

But if programming can let you create something useful like that... Maybe I should look into it, too.

[meaningdies]

Heheh. It really is an amazing tool. It allows humans to be as gods, if only for a short time.

[bondsofsuffering]

Does the God of your world normally employ demons?

[meaningdies]

No, angels. But they can be summoned just as demons can.

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, at least he didn't lower Himself to that level.

[Godliness sure didn't stop Kiyotaka from manipulating the devil's own children.]

So is there any limit to what you can summon with those circles, or is anything divine or otherwise fair game?

[meaningdies]

In theory, no. In practice... well. Only certain demons were willing to participate in this game. Anyone not specifically programmed in needs to make an outside contract. They can then be summoned using the COMP, as the program will recognize the contract, but an arrangement needs to be made outside of it first.

[bondsofsuffering]

Heeeeh, that's scary... Remind me to check everything I sign extra carefully!

[Hahahaha see, he made a funny.]
