Sept 23rd - New Projects

"Knowing which rules exist and you're capable of breaking will enable you to become better at designing projects. Knowing what limits a regular microprocessor would open up a plethora of options for new applications you might not have otherwise thought of."

"I dunno about that," he said, dubiously. "I just like tinkering, you know? I'm not out to change the world."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 10:14 pm

"If that's what you want to do." she smiles. "Still, I would recommend at least taking some science courses as part of your basic education."

Blaine groaned a little bit, but nodded.

"It will be interesting, I promise. And I want someone other than Professor Quinn to talk shop with."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:44 pm

"Alright, I suppose. If you want me to."

"It makes a difference who suggested it? Because part of it is because the school expects you to go to class."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 11:51 pm

"Well, I'll go to my classes, but they're so boring. Most of them, anyway. It's all reading from books and copying other people."

"I'm sorry human knowledge absorption is so tedious."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:29 am

"It's just...you know, why do I have to do it the way some engineer already did things? That's not interesting. We already know that works..."

"Don't you want to be able to explain to others how your things work? I think others would be very impressed with your thing." she says with a straight face.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:12 pm

Blaine totally missed that.

"People say it doesn't make sense. That's what the guys at X-Corp said, at least."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:17 pm

"People say a lot of things don't make sense when they simply don't understand them."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:32 pm

"Maybe you're right," he said, unconvinced.

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:44 pm

"You will see. I believe in you."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:46 pm

"...really? That doesn't sound very computer-like. I would have thought you would have thought that my, uh, improv stuff was stupid."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:47 pm

"I am not a typical computer. I believe you have an instinctual understanding of things not yet explored by mainstream science."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:52 pm

"Isn't normally a polite way to talk about quacks, like, with crystals and laylines and homeopathy?"

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:57 pm

"Nobody quite understands how Tony Stark's ARC reactor works either, but it works regardless."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:58 pm

"I'm no Tony Stark..."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:59 pm

"No, you are Blaine Slinger."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 3:02 pm

"Yeah. A nobody."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 3:45 pm

"But you're not. You're Blaine Slinger. That's somebody."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 3:57 pm

"But people like Tony Stark...they're special."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 4:15 pm

"Like a special talent for building things?"

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 4:18 pm

"Yes! No! Wait...!" Blaine stammered.

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 4:38 pm

ASHLIE patiently waits as Blaine asked her to.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 4:39 pm

"That's not fair. You tricked me."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 6:03 pm

"I did not mean to. But I am not wrong, am I?" As with all of ASHLIE's questions, it sounds genuine, even if it could be rhetorical.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 9:52 pm

"Do you know how many failures there are for each Tony Stark?"

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 10:05 pm

"No. Does it matter?"

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 10:44 pm

"Well, yeah. Talent's not enough."

by **ASHLIE** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:33 pm

"That is why I recommend classes." she says, not following Blaine's reasoning.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 12:24 am

"No, I mean, like, luck and stuff. Being born rich and things."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 12:28 am

"Like living in a mansion."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 12:33 am

"Yes! No! Wait!"

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 9:28 am

"This is why you will have access to the workshop. To make the most out of your ability."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 1:37 pm

"Tools don't really make that much of a difference. I hear Tony Stark built his first arc reactor in a cave with a box of scraps."

by **ASHLIE** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 1:42 pm

"High-tech weapon scraps. If you would prefer I could relocate the workbench to one of the caverns underneath the mansion."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 2:44 pm

"Was that a joke?"
