Forty-Ninth Theory [Action/Voice]

[Don has never been to an ocean before, and last time he was at an amusement park he had to electrify the roller coaster to defeat an enraged colony of nanobots.]

[He is determined that this excursion will be one of pleasant discovery.]

[To that end, he takes the teleporter to the beach on Thursday morning, and spends the next two days exploring the park, the waterfront, and as far out into the ocean as his own limbs can take him. (Or farther, if anyone is kind enough to offer him the use of a boat.)]

[At some point during the two days, he opens his journal and leaves the following message:]

Researchers, experimenters, tinkerers, inventors, curious people of all kinds... join the "Scientists, Hypothesizers, and Engineers of Luceti League". I'm starting it right now and everyone is welcome.

[It's a foregone conclusion that Robert would go with Don to the beach, and return to Lucetiland. Not only had Helios encouraged it, but it was a lot less lonely than staying in the village being poignantly reminded of the fact everybody was gone.

So after stopping by to check Grune's flowers for her (not that they were going to be neglected anyway), he follows Don to the beach and the subsequent Lucetiland island, which is starting to become an almost-familiar sight and sound on the shoreline.]

Yes, you do! My robots come equipped with a wide variety of weaponry, ranging from machine guns, to lasers, to rocket propelled grenades! I've also developed a few robots in the past with non-lethal weapons, better suited to subdue their targets than vaporise them!

[Winry giggles.] Did you intend to make the name spell out S-H-E-L-L on purpose?

How clever.

What will this League be doing, Don?

[Definite similarity in name at least..]

You could say there's quite a bit of demand! However, most of my creations are built for myself, to serve in the Eggman Empire's glorious military!

[Almost-overwhelming is right. Even having been here before, Robert still finds himself stymied by this kind of place - all colours and lights and smells of semi-processed edibles - and what it represents.

Thoughtfully, he studies the amusement park.]


Well, the last time I was here, I had... already stopped by the Hall of Personas. [The slight shiver at those words should not go unnoticed to Don.] ... So... perhaps something else...? I have not gone on any of the rides, really...

[He spent most of the time watching others do so.]

... Essentially, it is... a room full of mirrors that, er, project various... versions of yourself, I suppose.

[Robert drops his voice low.] Including... u-unpleasant versions...

... And, er, other people can see them.

[She knows. She can't think about that easily.]

I'd like to be a part of this, if it's alright.

What sort of goals do you have for the group?

[A traumatizing one?]

... It... it might be a good idea. Though... [Less awkwardly:] I trust you...

... The only other person I went in with was... Giles. And, well... [Giles ended up seeing Robert as the junkie he was before... though Robert essentially got to see the same.]

[Only a little!]

Not particuarly. Besides, your name has grown on me! SHELL! Very catchy. I'd be honoured to be part of it all.

... I think it would be... fascinating. [And then maybe Don can see those facets of Robert for himself, the facets Robert wouldn't be able to show here in Luceti.] And there would be... fewer people during this time.

[So now would be the best time, really.]

Well, I know a few bright scientist out on the draft that might not be able to get to this. Want me to relay the message when they come back?
