--en free biscotti!

[ count 'em! one, two, three, four-- and the fifth iced latte cup is half-full. all messed around a small table in the coffee shop, occupied by a messy man who forgot to shave ever this month. he points at himself. ]

Hi! My name's Dr. Ray Palmer. You might also know me as the ATOM, and former CEO of Palmer Technologies. I have a couple questions, and also a request.

[ the camera jostles as he jumps up to run into the hall (sorry for your motion sickness). the view then points at a stretch of blank wall. ]

Number one: Anybody object to me installing a ten-by-six foot digital bulletin board on this wall? And if so, do you have a suggestion for where it could go and still be in the public eye for use by everyone?

[ the shot swings back around to his face, which is frowning with thought. ]

Number two: I need some help! Lots of it, actually. It seems like we're all trying to collaborate and gaining various amounts of traction. If you consider yourself someone interested in the events and happenings of Wonderland, well. Go visit Angel Investigations first-- that place is wild. And then second, please respond here with a question or rumor you're interested in.

Number two-point-five: If you see a query from someone that you can answer, speak up? Eventually, I'd like to install this digital bulletin board to spark community communication about events and other Wonderland issues, to try to bridge the gap between the digitally-inclined and... the not so inclined.

[ he turns at the sound of his own name coming from the coffee shop and yelps before running back in. ]


( OOC | threadjacking is highly encouraged -- pls consider this a loose-form brainstorm sesh and don't forget that dragging ray and his ideas is also very extra encouraged. pls feel free to PM me with suggestions/issues/etc <3 )

[ and haru is going to listen to every single word with rapt attention because this is actually interesting to hear. it's thrilling to know that other people get to have strange things happen to them before having adventures of their own.]

That sounds amazing! So you're a hero then. Do you ever find it tempting to shrink when you have something delicious to eat?

[ he nearly quibbles, but haru's question catches him off-guard with a laugh. ]

I-- never actually thought about that, honestly. I'll have to give it a try and let you know if it works. Physics gets kinda weird the smaller you go, though. No promises.

[ oh the possibilities.]

I'm just imagining some takoyaki the size of a house and I can't say the idea is all that terrible.

Being small makes it harder for your enemies to hit you, right? Doesn't that make it more difficult for you to win since they'd remain big?

Oh, I still pack a wallop. Miniaturization doesn't change my mass or density, so my physical abilities remain despite the smaller size.

[ he smirks, way too eager to brag about himself. ]

Plus, the suit's flight capabilities and hard light beams make for pretty good mobility and weaponry. The capabilities of my stomach, however. That's new territory...

[shrinkage]

I did!

[ ...his ego might be in the way of the truth rn fyi. he grins. ]

But if I do my job right they never see me coming at all.

I generally consider it part of the work, yeah. What about you? Do you have an interest in the sciences?
