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. ]

Do you know anything about infinity stones, Doctor?
no subject
Less than I'd like to, but I do know about them. [ But that's enough for him to put two and two together. With some concern: ] Which one is it?
no subject
[ she'll wait to see if that prompts any existing knowledge from the good doctor... ]
no subject
[ Yes, he has been told a little of it. Not nearly enough to know everything that happened back then, but Thor hadn't kept them entirely in the dark about it either. ]
How did it get here? And how— where is it right now? How are you containing it?
no subject
[ UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ]
It's definitely contained... Y'know. Kind of. It may or may not be inside of Jane. [ And cue a little gesture in Jane's general direction with a small quirk of her lips. ]
i keep not letting you guys establish a tagging order (sorry) but let me know if you'd prefer that!
Only slight, though. After seeing an Infinity Stone being embedded onto the forehead of an AI's body, it's easier to believe just about anything about these gems. ]
How are you surviving it? How... I mean, it turns all matter into dark matter, right? How are you still... [ You know. Not dead. ]
tagging order's for suckers anyway
Ambient energy from the environment here appears to be keeping things in check while she's been staying here, though it may be tied to the doctor's emotional state as so many elements in wonderland seem connected to a reactionary element I presently suspect that the incident happened when doctor Foster's emotions triggered a chemical reaction that brought the alien element to the forefront.
[He breathes, then meekly pulls petrie dishes from his pile of "maybe this is relevant possibly???"s]
I've pulled some of her earlier bloodwork for experimentation...
[NOPE can't do it can't talk Science with Bruce Banner he's just going to stop talking altogether again.]
OH WELL THEN GONNA KEEP GOING
So there's a certain level of control there, Bruce figures; not the same as his own condition, but it might not be impossible for Jane to train herself to keep the aether in check, at least until they can figure out a way to either take it out of her, or calm it down so it doesn't just consume everything in its path— Jane included.
He looks up when Fitz's voice dies out, waiting silently for a few seconds, then speaking up. ]
And...?
[ Yeah, he's definitely waiting to hear some specifics on those experiments, if Fitz has gone through with them already. What? Can't leave a guy hanging like that and not expect him to wonder, especially when an infinity stone is concerned. ]
yep this way it's easier for you to get the tags you need too!!
she adds her own comment, only marginally off-topic. fitz will have to finish his own sentence, since jane's been more focused on the applied experiments with darcy. ]
It can be purposely manipulated, when in a hardier host. It wants to return to the Dark Elves, I think. Malekith, specifically. If you can say that a primordial force has motivation, that is...
no subject
Helpful sure is Darcy's middle name - especially right now because that's literally all she's going to contribute to the science talk. Okay, maybe not. Maybe she can actually do more. ]
We've also been trying to map the edges of the aether's bubble around Jane so it can be visible without literally making it rain around her constantly... Among other things. [ Something that's way more difficult without Thor because Darcy's definitely not following Jane with a hose. ] It'd be awesome if we could get this out of her in the next few months. Especially after this, clearly Wonderland's magic is probably not working as well anymore to keep it in check. Steve's re-directing exercises aren't gonna be enough if this thing really decides to blow one day.
no subject
The samples haven't been touched yet. It's been -- there's quite a lot that needed triage. Agent Romanoff and the Captain needed a way to aid the external cleanup...
[Too much information, none of it relevant. He trails off and waves a hand vaguely, absently gesturing to a curiously bulky piece of weaponry cast elsewhere on his desk.]
We're making due with what resources we have, but time's not quite on our side.
no subject
[ Also it's very Lord of the Rings-y, but he's not going to make that comparison, even if he's definitely thinking it. ]
That's alright. We can— we can figure something out, I'm sure. [ They have to, because the alternative is this whole place being consummed by the aether in its eagerness to get back to Malekith, and Bruce doesn't want that. Not while there are so many people around. ]
It's possible that Wonderland itself has been fighting off the aether's power all along. So its magic holds back the aether's abilities the best it can, but... [ He lifts his two hands in the air like he's holding two spheres and pressing them against each other. ] There's only so long two forces can be pressed together in a tiny space before one of them just... breaks.
[ And that hits closer to home than he intended it to. He lowers his hands again and glances at the weapon instead. ] What does it do?
no subject
Gravity manipulation. The dark matter needs to be removed from civilian spaces while we work out the rest of it. G-forces seem to be the easiest way to go about that. [In an intergalactic market, gravity is fairly valuable currency.]
It's -- not an ideal design.
[It's HIDEOUS and people are looking at it. D: ]
no subject
It's a prototype. [ He says that as if to dismiss the remark about the design. They don't need something pretty anyway, they need something functional. ] It's brilliant.
[ Said most casually, he then looks up at Fitz. ] Have you tested it yet? Does it work?
no subject
Only the basic functions, but it's been holding up well during preliminary testing. I'm concerned about it overheating during extended use. Agent Romanoff and the Captain have been made aware of the risks.
[Natasha seemed to think the danger made things more exciting, honestly.]
wow did I lose this tag or what
Hopefully we won't need it for extended use. [ Hopefully... haha. Yeah, Bruce can see what the aether can do, no chance of that. (And of course Natasha thought that, have you met her?) ]
So what it needs now is some sort of cooling method. Something more effective than, say... a fan. [ Bruce this isn't the time for jokes. ]
no worries - I'll just jump in right here then
[ She's rambling, but it's fine. Everyone copes differently and this is how she manages. Darcy clears her throat, picking off a piece of something on her shirt. ]
I'm hoping Steve and Natasha will check in soon to let us know how things are going with the G-for-- [ And that's a shake of her head while she forms a frown, directing her attention to Fitz. ] No, I'm not calling it that. It needs a new name, dude.
no subject
It's a perfectly serviceable name. You've just got your mind stuck in the gutter.
no subject
A serviceable name? Really? That's a mighty big opening you just left me. It's like an early Christmas present. Where do I even start with that one?
[ Look, she talked about prostitution with Steve. There really aren't any lines she won't cross apparently when under some form of stress. ]
no subject
The name doesn't matter, so long as it does what it's supposed to. [ Voice raised just a hint higher above Fitz's and Darcy's, enough to get their attention. ] Rather than arguing innuendo and semantics we could start focusing on that part instead, no?
no subject
