Do you have room in your house for another roommate?

[It's, like, a little bit creepy that Rosalind happens to message him on that day that Semiyon disappears, but... It's probably just a coincidence, right?]

Uhh probably? The guy that was here was maybe sent home. Idk he wasn't here when I got up and I havent seen him all day and his name isn't in my phone anymore sooo

[So that tends to be the marker for someone getting booted from the city. It's a bummer, really. He liked Semiyon.

But we're not here to dwell on feelings. That'd be gross.]

We have a spare bedroom anyway if he does come back or something.
Wait Im assuming you're requesting for you?

I am, yes.

I never enjoyed apartments, and the one I found is significantly smaller than my last one. I'd rather reside in a house than an apartment, especially if my roommate happens to be a scientist.

[And maybe she hates living alone.]

[...He shouldn't tempt fate, but.]

So the draw is a scientist roomie? Because there's a bunch of empty houses around.
Not that Im saying your not welcome. You totally are.
Just like
Idk its not the only option. If you're thinking it is.

That isn't the only draw, Newton Geiszler.

[oh.]

Jeez no need to flex on me like that I was just pointing it out since youre new in town and all.
But uhhh when do you want to move? Do you even have stuff to move? Theres like already furniture and crap here we can move some stuff around wait do you even like uh sleep?

I do sleep, yes. My body wants to during the day, but I'm trying to train myself into a diurnal schedule. But I have two coffins, which are rather difficult to move for obvious reasons, so your help would be appreciated. That and my store of food is all I own at the time.

And the sooner the better, honestly.

Two COFFINS? Like for sleeping in? Why do you have two? God thats such a stereotype. Sorry.

[This is a lot. He's fine.]

Right I have a little cart I use to carry monster corpses to the lab from the coliseum. I can bring that over.
It's like clean though.

It's a requirement. I'm well aware of how stupid it is. And I have two because my original is made of copper and far too hot for this weather. I've made a second, much larger one, out of wood and cotton.

Thats a weird requirement. No offense. What constitutes a coffin? If you made one I'm assuming it doesn't need to have been used to house an actual dead body.

It does not, no. As far as I'm aware, it only needs to be a sealed box, complete with lid, but frankly, I don't know if any kind of box will do, or if it has to be coffin sized.

The conversation didn't come with a training manual.

And you can't just say something and then tack on no offense as if that voids it.

Omg I know that obviously I just mean like I realize you didn't make the rules for this so I'm not judging YOU but it doesnt stop the rules from being kinda dumb.

[But, also, he will continue to tack "no offense" onto things in an attempt to get himself off the hook from things. It works too often for him to be deterred by a simple "quit that".]

What if we turned your room into a really big box? Then you could maybe have a normal bed in there.

[That . . . is actually not too bad an idea.]

It's worth a try, I suppose. Or perhaps around a bed, even. You don't realize how much you'd miss one until you can't use one anymore.

No worries that I'll somehow eat you?

...Should I be worried about that?

No. I have my own artifical supply of food.

But I've found that's typically what people fuss over, sooner or later.

As in you have artificial blood? How long is that going to last you? Whered you get it? We don't have much by way of lab tech around here but I'd love to take a look at it sometime if it's not gonna wreck your stash.
No one back home has been able to produce artificial blood yet. It's sort of a biological mystery.

I made it.

It wasn't so hard.

WHAT?

[But, no, okay, give him, like, two minutes to sort himself out.]

You MADE it? How? You're from 1910 or whatever and you just made artificial blood?
Youd better not be messing with me oh my god.

I'll show you if you'd like.

I admittedly had a template to work off of, but the majority of it is my work. And I may be from 1910, but it's a very different 1910 than you know. Suspended gravity is also a concept, thanks to me. Inter-universal travel. And so on.

Omg my god.
Yeah hey consider that your payment for me helping you move your stuff into my place you gotta spill the details on literally everything that you just said.
Do you know if the blood would be viable for transfusions?

That's a massively unequal exchange, but it's been a while since I've had someone who was bright enough to somewhat keep up with me, so yes, all right.

And it ought to be, though I'd obviously want to test it before it was given to a patient. But it serves as my food; it has the makeup of proper blood. It wouldn't work as a food source otherwise. So yes, it should.

Uh okay first of all I assure you I'm more than capable of "keeping up" with you Ros I bet you're used to easily being the smartest person in the room but that's changed.
Second I know how much you like to brag about your accomplishments so this arrangement is a win-win for you.
Lastly thats the coolest shit I've heard in a long time. Can you control the blood type? I imagine for transfusion purposes youd just want to go O neg across the board but if you could artificially replicate some of the rarer blood types that would be a game changer in the medical field.

Right now it's A-positive, solely because that was what the original was, but I should think I'd be able to change it sooner or later.

But do tell, Newt. What have you invented lately, hm? Have you made some kind of stride in the scientific field? I saw your bestiary, it was adorable.

[Oh my god. Oh my god.]

Adorable? Seriously? And here I thought your intelligence was on par with the Rosalind I know but I guess I was wrong.
I've pioneered TONS of stuff as a matter of fact. I built a Pons system out of scrap parts and used it to create a neural link with an alien species to stop them from invading my world. I saved my entire PLANET.

It's nice to see you're capable of admitting you're wrong. You're right, my intelligence likely isn't on par with hers. I exceed it.

Now, tell me more about your Pons system. How did you stop them via neural link? Some kind of mental virus? Or did you influence theri way of thinking?
