011 ✦ Jane, Fitz, and Darcy Joint Video - 4th Floor Lab Explosion

[ ooc: Darcy is blue, Fitz is red, and Jane is purple. ]


[ Darcy hadn’t really been spending a lot of time in either of the labs after this whole mess, not wanting to be around someone who was so good at getting under her skin it should’ve been an art form. But, even with everything that happened, she couldn’t stay away forever. Besides, she was helping Jane with the aether research while everyone else handed other Wonderland related things. You can’t just magnetize glitter and then ditch someone. Of course, maybe she wouldn’t have been saying that if she’d known what was going to happen.

Which is what brings her to addressing the network with a slight look of panic, even if she’s trying to maintain her cool. For those in the know, she’s not fighting with Fitz right now, so… Progress? ]


Houston, we have a problem. Slight complication in the lab, may turn into a much bigger issue depending on how this goes. [ Despite her best attempts to play nice, it’s hard to not shoot Fitz a dirty look and let her tone take a turn to the salty side. And though her sass levels are reaching critical mass, the offscreen brogue that replies doesn’t rise to the prodding. He’s softspoken and quick instead, because there is literally no time for this. ]

The area of effect seems to be a column in shape. Rooms along the fifty-two block might want to strongly consider evacuation.

Darcy, do you have a hairpin?


Yeah, for once. And just for a little clarification on that, we’re on the fourth floor. So if you’re around this area either below or above, it might not be a bad idea to listen to him. [ Considering she normally wore her hair down, it was rare for her to have much of anything on her. But, a few things had changed over the past weeks - including her wearing her glasses more often than contacts and her hair pulled back. She removes the one that had been keeping some of the shorter strands out of her face, quickly handing it over before returning her attention to the small device in her other hand. Guess who’s really trying to not draw attention to the fact that they’d agreed on something and she actually said the words listen to him. ] Something happened that set the aether off. We’re trying to keep it from damaging anything other than the lab, but it kind of has a mind of its own. [ She gives look offscreen to check to see if she actually has time to explain or if she needs to just ask people to trust her on this one with a promise for answers if they survive it. ] It turns things into dark matter. There was a convergence back home that opened up weird portals and then Dark Elves tried to plunge the universe into darkness using it and -- It’s bad news bears. [ Less ramble, more to the point. She can do this. ]

While you talk to the rest of them, could you apply pressure to this piece? I’m running out of ways to complete this circuit.

[ For much of the remaining feed, Darcy’s face is lit with a tint that alternates between blue and red. It might be best not to ask. It tends to be a good rule of thumb that if Darcy’s not questioning something, it’s either because she trusts the other person or the situation is just starting to head in that bad of a direction that there’s no time. ] Yeah, I -- [ She complies with the request before looking back to check on Jane, not expecting an interruption. ]

Darcy. [ Jane's seated, weary as evidenced by her slouch. The camera pans slightly to show her as Darcy’s full attention is turned with her name. Jane’s eyes shine unnaturally as she looks up, the still flashing red and blue lights not helping at all. ] It's happening again-- get down!

[ The camera still has Jane somewhat in view, Darcy no longer paying attention to keeping it on any one point. Red tint envelops the feed, the atmosphere around the trio cloying with the unnatural hue of the aether spreading its influence against Wonderland's magic and rippling outward through the mansion. Darcy doesn’t hesitate to grab Fitz and hit the ground, hoping whatever he’d been working on helps in keeping this from destroying a solid chunk of the mansion. Objects seem to turn at random to dark matter. The stool beneath Jane seems to dissipate into nothing, as do various pieces of equipment and assorted belongings around them. Sensors and alarms ring out through the lab, electronic panic ineffectual against the power of the infinity stone at work. And that’s when the feed cuts, suddenly and almost violently. ]


[ ooc: For those who are canon blind, here’s a handy dandy link about the aether. If you’d like your character/your character’s objects or room to be hit by a bad bout of dark matter, feel free. It’s totally up to you on how much or how little or maybe even not at all. This will be affecting floors 3, 4, and 5 for dark matter shenanigans per mod approval. Action is welcome to come to the lab afterwards. Please specify if you want a particular char response, otherwise one or all will respond. ]

[ Have a very unimpressed looking scientist. Like he's one to judge. He may have already to contain what his lab equipment became to no effect. He's in the hall of the fourth floor, the door to his lap falling shut behind him. Seriously. WTF did you guys do. ]

What means, if any, can be used to contain this "dark matter" that you've unleashed on us?

[ You can practically hear the quotes around the words. Because what he saw wasn't dark matter. Dark matter in his world is something completely different and is at the root of giving people super powers. It certainly isn't weird red floaty goop. ]

[His jaw is tight as he fields this one. He's had quite enough backseat science out of this community, thankyouverymuch.]

If you're within the impact zone, we're simply requesting evacuation at present. We'll be sending containment teams to handle the fallout when we've dealt with the source. Just keep yourself safe for now.

[He snorts lightly.]

Might run out of scrap paper soon if we're still keeping a physical list.

Really, you'd think a collection of inquisitive intellectuals would ask more questions before jumping to erroneous conclusions.
contranitoris: (Right there)

[ Guess who is NOT impressed with the children playing with highly advanced science. Get out of the way and let the adults handle it before you break reality. ]

I have an idea. Let's stop arguing and you both just tell me what means you're using to contain this substance, so I can handle it before it eats through everything in my lab and perhaps do something to keep it from spreading any further. Unless you'd rather just spend your time lashing out at everyone.

[ That's it. Once he was sure he wasn't losing his lab and his room, these two were getting a visit from a man in a yellow suit. No question about it. ]

We have the immediate threat handled-- you can refer to other responses to this broadcast for help containing any of the dark matter.

[ jane's voice pipes in, tired but neutral. she might even sound a little monotone in her infodump, but her usual habits of trying to use layspeak in consideration of nonscientific types are slowly dissipating as they handle the influx of pissed off residents. ]

The spread is finite; any adverse effects that would occur have ceased. I can't guarantee another pulse won't occur and as I've told others moving the point of generation outside the mansion could result in a more catastrophic event, unfortunately.
contranitoris: (Right there)

[ He takes a moment, lips pressed together, as if needing to consciously filter what first came to mind. He looks beyond frustrated, in that tightly controlled sort of way. One slow breath, then he speaks. Pointed and direct. ]

You must be the one I've heard about. Jane Foster. If that's the case, I would hope that you could see that it would be easier to tell me directly how to handle this than for me to dig through the squabbling and bickering of your assistants with people who don't understand what they're dealing with. I need to know whether it's...

[ And he launched into several sentences worth of advanced science speak about possibilities for containment. Because he already has SOME idea, but he needs specifics. ]

Sorry. I don't recall your name.

Dr. Wells. [ the corners of jane's mouth turn up, then, humorless. ] May I advise you to make a visit to the clinic?
hypoxic: (I have to believe wishing works)

His doctorate is probably in thinking that [He selects the second containment method Wells suggested] is still a current theory that hasn't already been disproven.

[SCIENCE BURN.]

[ He returns her faint smile, adding a slight tilt of his head. His words, however, carry a slight hint of humor. ]

Well that depends on just how safe it is, doesn't it?

Oh, having Dr. Myers check your hearing will only prove a dangerous endeavor if you speak to her the way you speak to me.

[ jane's voice lilts up, helpful and hopeful with about a metric tonne of sarcasm stirred in for flavor: ]

So I'm sure after this, you'll be just fine.

[ For the briefest moment, he looked shocked. Almost as if she'd slapped him in the face. But then it slowly cleared and he bowed his head with the most humble smile and a slight laugh that spoke volumes of his own unease. ]

Jane. [ Then immediately correcting himself, seemingly the smallest bit false footed. ] Dr. Foster. You misunderstand me. I've grown so accustomed to people knowing me at least by reputation that I forget, frequently, that not everyone is aware of certain aspects. I meant it as safety is of little concern, my own lab being what most consider to be the most dangerous place in the city. I meant you no disrespect, and you have my most humble apologies.

Apology accepted. I'm sorry if you felt dismissed, that wasn't my intention.

[ businesslike, jane bobs her head once as if to mark a bullet off of her to-do list, and then continues in a quick run-down: ]

I'm sorry to say that any of your property that was affected might be irretrievable-- but the upside is that the waves tend not to perpetuate. I can't give you a lot of solid detail on the cause of the dark matter conversion, but the reason I directed you to refer to the other responses is because you'd get better answers from the ones who are using magic and more advanced science than I have access to than you'd get from me.
