( open ) Attempt to Remove an Infinity Stone from Jane - Take 1
Who: Darcy and Jane for sure - calling all other science types/ppl interested in Infinity Stones
Where: The Basement
When: Evening of 4/6
Rating: PGish - possible talks of death?
Summary: Trying to remove the thing that could possibly kill Jane one day from her even though it hasn't yet a la Wonderland magic.
The Story: Darcy had sent out texts to a few people, but really she'd left any other forms of help up to Jane. One thing was clear, she needed to help find a way to get the Aether out of Jane so that she could actually do normal things again. Not have the destructive bubble of doom around her and kinda do that red thing every once in awhile. Yes, there were workarounds for the whole death by touch or violently being thrown if walking too close in the hallway, but that was easier said than done when it came to something she still didn't really understand.
But, she does her part while waiting for others to arrive and be more scientific in their findings. She's just gonna stand on a table with a doohickey that dings aka one of Jane's pieces of technology................. And a bag of glitter. If they can't get it out, she might as well see if there's anything they can stick to the outside that might not obstruct Jane's view too much. Glitter was the first thing to try, but she definitely had a few other things in her back pocket because reasons. If things got serious and they weren't getting ahead on getting the Aether out, she was more than ready to take the party outside and break out the paint. Although, she's optimistic about the glitter. Don't worry, she promises to sweep up the left over craft herpes - at least what she can find.
"Hold still, it's not doing the right beeping thing and --" She's just gonna give it a little thwap on her hip --"Oh, there we go."

(She never thought she'd actually be grateful for the aether. Not until Darcy thought breaking out glitter might be a good experiment, anyway.)
So here Jane stands, fingers tapping against her thigh and teeth pulling away at her lips in impatience. The truth of the matter? She's at something of a loss when it comes to the aether. As dedicated and creative as she can be when it comes to researching the sciences related to particle physics, interacting with bio-sciences is hardly Jane's specialty. To call it a frustrating situation would be the understatement of all time, really. What happens to Wonderland once the aether consumes her?
"Where's your journal? And what's your hypothesis, again?" OK so there still might be something of a teacher inside Jane regardless of impending death by dark matter. "Tell me you at least remember the difference between screwing around and science is documentation."
no subject
But it's fine.
"Of course I remember the difference between screwing around and science. It's like you have no faith in my ability to do this." Which, of course is actually pretty solid because she really has no clue what she's doing. Other than the glitter thing. While she wasn't necessarily showing it, she did understand the gravity of the situation. Which is why she'd called in the big guns to actually do the science thing. Last thing they needed was an event to destroy everything. She didn't want Jane to have someone else's death on her conscience because of the Aether.
"And right now, I'm working on mapping out the barrier with something that'll hopefully stick so if we're able to do anything to it to either make it shrink or... I don't know, fluctuate in some way we can see it. And since craft herpes clings to everything, I figured it'd be easier than paint."
no subject
Which means Jane does roll her eyes but instead of walking away, she waves Darcy on to continue, silently. This is so not moping. It's ... determination to prove Darcy wrong. Yeah.
no subject
“Do you have a better idea? Because everything else hasn’t worked so far.” There’s definitely a little attitude with those words to match that eye-roll, giving Jane a lift of her eyebrows.
no subject
"Rule number 3 of the lab: if you don't have a good reason not to do it..." Then it's an acceptable action. Yeah, that's the Foster way. And she did hire Darcy, so. Can Jane really complain?
no subject
"Alright, here goes nothing." Aaaaaaaaaaaaand have some glitter, Jane - with maybe a little more than might be necessary. And now it's time to watch and see if it actually sticks. "Maybe I should have sprayed some water first. Is it working? Do you feel any different? Try moving around - see if it catches the light?" Maybe she should get Jane riled up so the aether is active and angry.
Plan B possibly.
no subject
Well. Nothing exploded.
"I don't think glitter qualifies as threatening..." The corner of Jane's mouth quirks upward. She regards the back of her hand, sparkling and suddenly itchy, as she spins as directed. "I don't feel anything."
no subject
"Alright, might be time for plan B." A beat. "What's plan B?" Not that she was really counting on this one working, but she wasn't that far ahead of herself. And almost immediately after asking the question another one is slipping out of her lips. "Is there a way to scientifically engineer glitter so it sticks to otherworldly things? Like super glitter... INTERGALACTIC GLITTER!" Guess who's eyes just got really big at this idea.
Darcy, pls.
no subject
"Well. We could magnetize it opposite the force the aether operates on." Jane moves (and glitter falls around her which she does not notice because she's currently on a tear) toward a chalkboard to start scribbling out numbers before turning back to point at Darcy.
"Darcy-- what's gravity?"
no subject
"Like the formula, or the actual purpose of gravity? With the whole pulling towards the center of earth or whatever has the most giant mass. Like Newton with the whole apple thing where he made a law about it." Fingers and toes crossed that was a good enough answer because she really wants to see magnetized glitter, okay.
no subject
"Exactly! Which is how we know dark matter exists at all. So, we just have to measure the force exerted when the aether activates, and then calibrate a sensor to alert us when it's happening." Scribble scribble scribble. Jane turns, finally, forearms covered in chalk dust like a sparkly snow angel. "Then we measure the charge of the particles somehow, adjust the glitter and do it all over again."
Doesn't that sound like the best day ever?
no subject
"You got my attention back with the idea of magnetized glitter. It's basically magnetized glitter, right? Can we please make magnetized glitter?" GUESS WHO'S EXCITED ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW AND TOTALLY HERE TO SCIENCE.
Granted, she's not gonna be helping much at all - if any. She'll provide the glitter and write down all the things, but Jane -- it's time to use science for good. Think of the possibilities to torture Wonderland with this newfound power... They're endless..
i got the scibabble wrong but i'm rolling with the magnetizing thing anyway X(
"This is how supervillains are made, isn't it? And yes. We're going to use glitter to figure out how the aether works."
HOW DARE but really no worries because GLITTER
"Okay, but if I become a supervillain, at least I'll be super sparkly. I mean, I won't exactly be able to be sneaky about it but who needs sneaky when I'd have magnetized glitter?" Aaaaand it's time for a maniacal cackle, even if it doesn't actually sound that maniacal.
Time to get back on track, Darcy. "Alright, so what do you need? How do we do this?"
...this means we should have a glitter event sometime y/y????
"Well, we should probably move out away from the mansion. We need a reaction, and since glitter isn't doing it I have a very bad plan that you're maybe not going to like." Jane's lips form a straight line -- and when she's anticipating Darcy balking at a plan, you know it's gotta be bad.
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Oh god. "Jane... You know when you say it's a thing I'm not going to like it's serious." She's not saying no, she'd just like some more deets plz. "What's churning in that crafty mind of yours? Do I need to bring a fire extinguisher or something?"
\o/
Does that answer your question young padawan?
"Also yes probably."
no subject
"In gym class. I was more of an ultimate frisbee kind of girl myself." She says it as she moves off to the side to grab the handy dandy fire extinguisher and a few water bottles. Once everything but the extinguisher is tucked in her bag, she gives a smile and nods towards the door. "Alright, let's go play ball."
