SDLFDGADGKLJDG - first impression upon reading this tag
Ideas...of...what?
[Then again, she's always interested in what Gilbert's thinking for various this or that reasoning.
Literally sashaying over, she leans over the table, looking over the book.]
Did you know. [She pauses to grin, tongue touching her upper teeth.] People have seen. [Pause for dramatic flair.]
Zombies?
my same reaction when seeing you on the tdm tbh :D
[ Erin is far less relaxed than her fellow ghostbuster, and her voice is far more high-pitched. ]
We don't know everyone here, and we don't know if they're all sane. What if someone decides they want to try to, I don't know, bring back grandma or something and thinks they've just got to sacrifice someone here to do it?
[ Erin huffs. This kind of knowledge comes with responsibility. Hasn't Holtzmann ever read spider-man? ]
Really? Reanimated corpses? [ Erin straightens up a little, scientifically curious. ] Have they said where the zombies come from -- what energy was used to revive the dead?
no subject
No...murder. I'm with you. But if people come back when they die here...[Sliding onto a stool, she swivels around before coming to a stop, facing Erin.] Does dear old gam-gam get the boot or does the rightful inhabitant wander the grounds until someone else kicks the bucket? As it were.
[This is a serious topic for serious scientists. But now she's more animated, pacing as she twirls a longer (glass) beaker like a baton.]
No one stays dead. So where do the zombies come from? Dead people don't appear out of nowhere.
[And yet, she has an AH-HA moment and pulls out one of the other books that's very dusty. Yes, she did browse the books and memorized their titles while you were getting food, Erin, so she knows exactly what she's looking for.]
Mirrors. Looking glasses. Portals. Did we, or did we not in fact, create a portal in New York to trap ghosts? AND, was Rowan not using freaky death mirrors in his hotel lab of horror?
no subject
But there's much, much more power here than Rowan had. More energy, amplified exponentially.
[ Some of the rays intersect, and Erin circles those points. ]
There's energy here, but it's more than that -- I think it's taking the form of a wave, and based on the laws of superposition, the waves build off each other, increasing the power, squaring it, even --
[ Erin's eyes widen. They're onto something. ]
There's a convergence point somewhere. We just need to know where it is. Which means we have to map the mirrors.
[ SCIENCE. ]
no subject
Hot damn, we have to map the mirrors. We need gear.
[Disappearing to one of the closets, she digs around and for some reason comes back with a full on aviator cap.]
Is this stylish, or too much? It's too much.
[Diving back in, she comes back out with a few random things before spreading them out on a table.] Note the lack of mirrors here, don't worry you're flawless, and that's because whatever's on the other side can see us. No one needs to know what's happening here. Buuuuuuuuut if we're mapping the mirrors whatever's on the other side...
[Will know, will tell someone, etc. etc. She'll let Erin figure that out, she's a smart cookie.]
We need to fashion our jumpsuits here into a blindingly reflective surface that puts out light.
[That way, whatever tries to spy on them won't actually be able to see because of the glare in the dual reflection.]
Like shining a huge spotlight right in the ol' peepers. Here, you'll need these. Ray Ban. Classic.
no subject
Erin nods, a little bewildered at the aviators. ] Yeah. They're, uh, not exactly safety goggles? Not that you should need those for mapping, anyway.
[ Erin does put two and two together. She doesn't want the beings on the other side to know what they're doing, true. ]
Blindingly reflective as in basically, effectively, invisibility? [ Huh. It's been theorized before, enough times to probably put it into practice. Erin would know. ]
Okay, but they can't interfere with the mirrors, otherwise the whole expedition is pointless.
[ Erin takes the Ray Bans, gives them a long, hard stare, and finally slips them on. ]
I look like an idiot, don't I? [ she says, deadpan. ]
no subject
[When she looks at Erin, it's with a grin and she shakes her head firmly.]
Noooooo. No. You look like the most pale rapper in all the land. Now, I need music to work.
[And that's the story of why Kokomo begins playing. Complete with Holtzmann dancing, lip synching and then actually singing the names of the different places]
Aruuuuuba, Jamaaaaica ooooh I wanna take ya....
[She may or may not wink at Erin.]
We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slooooow.
[Approximately ten songs later, she finally has jump suits for both of them that are somehow illuminating from within, and she demonstrates by finally pulling a mirror out of the closet.]
I'm calling this...Mirror Buddy. Mirror Pal? Mirror Companion. I'll work on the name. Come look at this. [When she stands in front of the mirror and presses a switch, the clothes light up further and you definitely can't see the actual glass surface of the mirror anymore, but nothing for mapping is actually obstructed.]
You don't have to call me a genius right this second.
no subject
[ You know what. Never mind. Science isn't about fashion anyway, and Erin has the world's tiniest bow tie to prove it.
Erin does her best not to blush when Holtzmann winks, instead opting to bite the heck outta her lower lip. While Holtzmann works, Erin gathers up her own materials: straightedges, graph paper, colored pencils, calculator, all organized and ready to go. Time for a science adventure! Even if Erin isn't as boisterous as Holtzmann, she's still excited. She lives for this stuff. ]
Wow. [ That's all she can say for the Mirror Buddy-Pal-Companion. Erin is impressed and starts to grin. ]
That's quite the upgrade. [ Erin slips hers on and slings her materials, now bagged up, over her shoulder. ]
Alright. Let's go see what's happening with this place.
