We have spent years upon years refining and reinforcing them.

[He reaches for a hammer and just... clocks the thing. It sure sparks! Big sparks! But no explosion. This guy truly has no fear.]

Our goal... was to supply them to the common people. To make the toils of labor easier and improve lives on a ground level. Below ground, even...

[Viktor has never forgotten the Undercity, he has always wanted to help them in their struggles. To use the privilege he lucked his way into for good...

He coughs again, wheezing and out of breath from the walk and his own enthusiasm,]


... what do you think?

This-? Is another type of the same stone-?

[Here they could only ever find the one type and it was exceedingly rare, nothing that could be mined by unskilled hands, given the volatility. But there goes Brad, plucking it from thin air...

After looking it over, Viktor will swap out the hex gemstone for what Brad provided. He fits his goggles on to protect his eyes, gesturing Brad towards a spare pair out of courtesy.

The stone doesn't fit quite as well, but Viktor will recalibrate and boot the machine up- which seems to really struggle with the new task. Viktor doesn't flinch, he just cranks the device until he finds the breakthrough point- magic flashing within the space and beaming brightly out the windows.

There is definitely going to be a knock on the door soon, from a curious co-worker unable to stay away. Viktor isn't thinking about that, he just comments,]


Incredible... The raw output is not as high, but it stabilized so much faster and more even than our own. This would be ideal for common use!

Hold on, hold on. You eat the rocks?

[this is the most important thing to question about all that]
becomerobot: (14)

[personal profile] becomerobot 2024-11-23 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, well... duly noted. [that is a wise warning to put on these if they are meant for a commoner population. You know, since kids and certain kinds of adults might want to put the shiny marble in their mouth.]

We should not talk more on this here. It is risky, but... at my home, I will bring some notebooks back with me. [he doesn't know there is a sound proof spell on the room, Viktor is just being excitedly reckless up onto now. Reaching a hand to Brad, he lightly squeezes at his arm to emphasis,]

Thank you, for showing me this. This could change so much.
becomerobot: (9)

[personal profile] becomerobot 2024-11-23 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
I could get more done back there- yes. Where we can talk freely. [he'll just take notes and leave the testing equipment behind for now. There is so much to recalculate with Brad's knowledge. Viktor is definitely feeling a raw urgency to get as much information from the man as he can.

He might only be around until next he sneezes, right? At any moment, couldn't he just poof away, leaving Viktor with too many questions to ever answer by himself?

There is a noise like someone trying the door without knocking, rattling the handle. Then a knock, a voice trying to not be too worried comes through- "Viktor? Are you alright?" And Viktor quickly stashes the gemstone in a pocket before handing Bradley back the other crystal. He pulls off his goggles as he crosses to open the door again, gathering an armful of notebooks as he went. So much so he can barely pop the door open without dropping any, once there.]


Perfectly fine, Jayce. Just on my way out.

[personal profile] becomerobot 2024-11-23 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Brad speaking up about their cover does make Viktor hand off the pile of note and textbooks back to the man, filling his arms with it. A good thing, too, so Viktor can take his crutch from nearby the door and be ready to leave, just like that-

Oh, right- he gestures vaguely between the two men, tall hunks that they both are,]


Jayce- Bradley. Bradley- Jayce. He is helping me carry things. I'll work the rest of the night from home. ["night" when it's still midday, but Viktor is making it clear he won't be back,]

Call if you need. [just like that he's already leaving, whoops, saying as little as possible sounds best to him!]
becomerobot: (10)

[personal profile] becomerobot 2024-11-23 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Viktor answers quickly and doesn't restrain his volume.

He also means this quite seriously, a very natural response of sternness from him.]


I need you sober tonight.

[He'll realize how it must sound only after they walk out of the building,]
becomerobot: (12)

[personal profile] becomerobot 2024-11-23 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Viktor smirks right back for a moment, realizing he was a bit clever there. People will talk. It's almost... fun to know.

The look fades into confusion at the next comment,]


Apologize for what?

[clueless, too focused on science to consider why Jayce might be so concerned with all this]
becomerobot: (7)

[personal profile] becomerobot 2024-11-23 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Viktor... really doesn't like to feel like there's something he's not getting here. He gestures with one hand as they walk,]

Of course! He is a brilliant mind, believe it or not. And he knows how to present our findings outside the lab. Little can be accomplished if we cannot secure the funding to actually build it.
becomerobot: (2)

[personal profile] becomerobot 2024-11-23 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
I... will decide on that later. There is much to learn before I can determine that.

[And Viktor is definitely rushing, because the idea Bradley could just disappear is an ever present ache of uncertainty. He must extract as much knowledge from the mage as possible in this window of time. It isn't like Viktor himself has all that much time himself,

His apartment is at least easy to get back to, though Viktor looks very tired going through the door. He pivots to Bradley and takes a few books off the top of the pile the man is holding, spreading them out over his kitchen table/working space, since that's clearly the duel use it has. Immediately back to work! This guy... he is a diligent one.]
becomerobot: (9)

[personal profile] becomerobot 2024-11-23 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Pull up a seat beside me. I want to ask you more questions. Now-

[Bradley is truly in for it, Viktor diving right into his notes. He will absolutely be testing the mage's patience for entertaining his curiosity. The man is not going to break for food unless it is put in front of him, in which case he will eat and work at once.

Viktor's avarice is for knowledge and discovery, all else can be ignored.]
becomerobot: (3)

[personal profile] becomerobot 2024-11-23 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[He is definitely asking for demonstrations and jutting down notes rapidly as they go. The wonder in Viktor's eyes is so energetic, so impossibly enthused by each new discovery. He's greedy to try and understand, demanding in his focused attention, but Brad is being generous with him.

So much is written down that he ends up unable to even hold his pen, rubbing at his wrist to sooth how locked up he made it in his persistence. A good enough time for Brad to teleport in dinner and insist they stop to eat it, but Viktor just... looks at it. Contemplating and then hesitant to ask,]


... You teleported this here? Who did it belong to? [and then he looks sternly angry and ungrateful,]

I will not eat food stolen from someone else's pantry.
becomerobot: (13)

[personal profile] becomerobot 2024-11-23 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That better be true... [Viktor is hungry and wasting food is also not something he wants to do. Still, the idea of taking from someone when he has what he needs is... against his morals. Against what he stands for,]

I have my own means, after all. To take food from someone when it might be all they have... that is unspeakably cruel. I'm sure you understand.

[if he grew up fighting for scraps, like Viktor did, then Brad knows. He's felt hunger and known strife that many in Piltover shield themselves from,]
