Right, here's the thing - I need a nerd. A geek. A smart guy. Or girl, whatever. I ain't overly picky.

[He shrugs his shoulders, casual as anything, taking a long sip of his beer. Sara may have told him this was not the best method to catch himself a genius but given the chance of there being some hanging around this joint, he thinks it's the perfect way. When in doubt, post an ad.]

This guy I know got brainwashed into being the king of dicks and I'm getting kind of sick of his shit so I need someone who'd be able to do some sci-fi sciencey stuff on his head. I have a vague idea how to do it but I just can't remember the details. [He's pretty much forgotten how they originally did it back home but he can unhelpfully offer vague information and a beer while you work. A+ service.]

All the 'smart' ones I know are annoyingly the biggest idiots around, I'm looking for someone less inclined to be stupid as hell. Help me out and maybe I'll help you out. Though my skills are limited to burning and breaking stuff.

[At least he knows his strengths? If you want a bonfire, ka-ching.]

I know a good looking chick if that sweetens the deal. Ain't saying she's gonna touch you but you can admire from afar. Really far. I also know some easy dudes if that's your thing. [Hey, whatever fixes this mess.]

I'm familiar with the details, Mister Rory. Though the technology required isn't present.

Easy dudes, eh?

[ Squints...] Are you trying to pimp us out?

[Freya has been hitting dead ends with her current magical problem and is starting to get a smidge frustrated, but this seems like an ... interesting enough distraction and something that she could certainly solve if she knew more.]

Does it need to be science, or are you open to using magic?

[...Wait. He knows that voice. What the fuck?]

Gideon? How did you get on my phone thingy? [He starts poking buttons.] Did I press something.

[boilover]

Not you.

You ain't easy. You're the hardest. You're the mount Everest of guys. I'd never offer you to anyone ever.

[waverides]

Not exactly. I'm present in Wonderland. In a physical form.

[boilover]

What? You got a better idea?

Nerds are usually hard up, this seems like a smart move.

[boilover]

For the good of mankind, sure. [Shrugs. Come at him, bro.]

Send me a shirtless picture, I already got one of Haircut. Might need 'em.

Dunno enough about magic to say either way but if you think you could unbrainwash someone, I ain't gonna protest.

[Also he doesn't get how the science worked in the first place so honestly, magic works about the same as science in his mind. They seem pretty interchangeable. He'd just never tell the nerds that.]

[catchacold]

Mount Everest, really?

I ain't for you to offer anyway.

I'd also have left Sara out of this if I was you.

[Ray and Nate? Sure, those guys are easy.]

[catchacold]

What.

[Eloquence.]

[waverides]

I found it puzzling when I first arrived. Perhaps Wonderland saw fit to grant me something to access the world in with the Waverider not present.

It's hard and frosty trying to reach your peaks.

Lesser men have tried and died.

And yeah, kind of regretting that on hindsight but she's the only chick we got

I've done it before. Granted, I'd need to know more about how he was brainwashed in the first place, and adjust my spell accordingly, but it's certainly possible.

[Breaking compulsion does tend to be ... painful, but luckily that's probably not what they'll have to do to Rip!]

[boilover]

What?

[Twinsies.]

You're like a chick-chick?

[waverides]

Yes, Mister Rory. For a lack of a better descriptor.

[improbablyhandsome]

Why is Ray sending you shirtless pictures?

[boilover]

This dude with a stupid name - erm, lemme think, Eonerd? Eowald? Eobard? I think Eobard, he reprogrammed his head and made him evil. Sort of messed with the machinery, you know? Now he's all intent on killing and conquering the world.

[And misusing the spear of destiny. Seriously not a good idea.] I can redirect you to someone who'd probably have more details if you need solid facts.

[boilover]

Huh.

[Okay, so, sue him. He's curious...]

Are you hot?

[psio]

[This sounds dubious but then Haru knows she doesn't fit nerd criteria enough to judge.

Much.]

Umm... Is messing with someone's head really a good idea?

[deathlessness]

[Eobard? That's a familiar name. She talked to him a few times when he was here. As for the rest ... ]

That would be helpful, yes. It will likely impact the approach I take when trying to help him.

[boilover]

He isn't, Leonard had it. He stole it from Ray, he weirdly carries a picture like that around.

[Or so Leonard has told him. It's a good picture, very tasteful.]

[catchacold]

Huh.

[He wouldn't have thought that possible, but then, it's not as if he has room to talk.]

Sorry about that. Bodies are annoying.
