so many new things, it's like sensory overload

Who: Emille and whomever
What: A. Emille makes herself at home in her office; B. Emille checking out the library; C. An ad posted on the Iris Network; D. Wildcard.
When: Early January, through January 8 or so.
Where: A. Anywhere between Savant and the research labs in the Citadel; B. The prophecy section of the library; C. Online; D. Wherever.
Warnings: None.


A. Moving in

[Emille's eyes had lit up and her heart had skipped a beat in anticipation when she first saw the immaculate white and silver laboratory area underneath Daybreak proper. Supercomputers? Check. A full stock of chemicals? Check. Tables for dissection? Check. Stasis tubes? Check. Check, check, check!

And, best of all -- Emille was appointed as the head of this lab, given free reign to do what she wanted when she wanted as she saw fit. It was all she'd ever wanted; the culmination of so many dreams. The large office directly in the back of the laboratory complex even had her name above the door in gold lettering, and it was enough to make her smile in approval. This was going to be the beginning of something glorious.

The office itself was spacious, with a computer underneath a window looking out over the lab immediately to the left of the doorway. The desk that the computer sat on continued to wrap around the corner to also occupy the entire left wall. Bookshelves lined the back wall, and a couch sat up against the right wall ending just where the door rested when swung open. It was no luxury suite, but it was fully functional for all of Emille's needs. The couch especially caught her attention, and amused her a bit -- yes, yes, scientists were well-known for living in their labs. Sometimes it just can't be helped. But the couch will certainly help when those all-nighters arrive, which she was sure they would.

Ever since then, Emille has been moving boxes of materials from the common room of the Savant faculty dorm all the way down to her office, bit by bit. She wouldn't admit it, but some of the boxes of books are quite heavy for her, and so she's leaving them for last. Or for anyone who takes pity on a child-sized scientist...]


B. Library lurking

[Emille's finally caught a break, and so she's decided to visit the library. She'd heard good things about the number of old and rare tomes available to the campus, but she had no idea about the collection of prophecies housed in the Hall of Pythia.

It's where she is now, perusing the titles, hoping to see if anyone's ever had any visions of Dragon daemons. Someone might want to point her to the prophecy index, though, before she spends all night here.]


C. UN: murakumo_emille | SUBJECT: Help Requested

Anyone interested in working in a state-of-the-art laboratory or learning about scientific procedures is welcome to join Head Researcher Emille in the Citadel's labs as a lab assistant. As an assistant, you will help with research projects, help keep the lab in pristine condition, and have the opportunity to do your own research.

Multiple positions are available. Students with previous lab experience are preferred, but anyone who is eager to learn is welcome. THIS WILL BE LIKE A JOB, so you will be expected to work and produce results. You will be compensated for your time.

Please reply to this ad or see Head Researcher Emille if you are interested, or if you have further questions. Thank you.

--Emille


D. Wildcard
Would you like to introduce yourself to Emille elsewhere on campus, perhaps when she doesn't seem as busy? Want to reply to her ad in person? Go right ahead! Or whatever else your heart desires. I'm down for whatever. Emille might not be, but she'll just have to deal with it.

D @ infirmary during late afternoon, the specific day doesn't matter

[personal profile] lifeforced 2020-01-03 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[As another part of that break after getting her things moved in, Emille could pay some visits to more than just the library, to begin familiarizing herself with some of the other buildings on the campus, beyond simply knowing where they are.

At the infirmary—one of the buildings she would need to be familiar with if (if) any accidents occurred in the lab on her watch—one of the first things she'll see is one of the academy's students sitting at a table as if she belongs there, flipping through a handful of notes that were presumably taken during some classes. When that girl sees that the infirmary has a visitor, she folds the corner of the page she was looking at to mark it, then closes her notebook, setting it back down on the desk. She then scoots out of her chair and walks over.

She's even shorter than Emille is, though not by too much; three inches, at most.]


Hi, do you need something?
spelleton: and i don't want to leave (☀ i was born on the lake)

A

[ He can't help but notice she's in need of assistance, after the first few trips. He'd left it as long as he had out of an attempt to respect her pride, but... ]

Excuse me, miss...Emille, was it? I can't help but notice that you still have a significant amount to move.

Would you allow me to assist you? [ He'll understand if she wants to do it all herself, but he wants to ask. ]
lifeforced: (smile (2))

[personal profile] lifeforced 2020-01-03 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah, I'm a student. [Normally, her being a student is assumed, rather than actually questioned.] Rebecca Fulton, grade 10. I'm a Candle with a healing touch, though it's not ridiculously powerful or anything; it basically just speeds up peoples' natural healing. I volunteer some of my time here so I can put it to use. [...largely in the hopes that she can eventually get it to do more than just that. It hasn't changed much, if at all, in the ten years she's been aware of it, though. Is there something she's missing?

She's also wound up acting as an assistant here in some other ways, handling various tasks when asked.]


Are you a new teacher, ma'am?

[Becky's been mistaken for a child less than half her own age on some occasions, so she knows the pain well, and wouldn't inflict it upon someone when that someone was clearly carrying themselves as an adult.]
lifeforced: (unsure)

[personal profile] lifeforced 2020-01-03 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[A biology class? That sounds like something she could actually benefit from, so now she has two specific classes she's looking at trying to take. She might have to drop something else to make sure to have the time...or just start getting up earlier than she already does.] If it can be fit into my schedule, then yeah, maybe. I'll have to see if or where time can be made for it.

As far as what goes on in here goes, it depends on what's being treated, but the more-urgent stuff usually gets some combination of both, and it's usually Hieke or Ekkehardt taking care of that since they have actual healing magic. [As compared to her touch really only making things take a little less time. That other class she's started considering, though, might help her to be more-effective in the long run.

Though, her power paling in comparison to their magic doesn't mean she's not present for some of those more-urgent things, since her being here is also intended to be a learning experience.]


For any really minor stuff, it's basically patch them up the traditional way and then send them to me for a few minutes before sending them on their way.

ummm....

what kind of research is it?


[Yes, that is a little kid thinking about taking a job.]
lifeforced: (thought)

[personal profile] lifeforced 2020-01-03 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Prior to the clarification, Becky's assumed that it was biology in general. But, even with that clarification, it's still something to consider, as there are some individuals here where her learning about daemon biology could prove to be helpful.

When Emille asks her next question, Becky shrugs.]
Not sure. That's something you'll want to ask Hieke or Ekkehardt about when you get a chance, they're the ones in charge in here.

[personal profile] lifeforced 2020-01-03 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not the only one, but I'm here pretty much whenever I'm not busy with something else. Same goes for the two of them, since neither of them seem to be capable of, y'know, stopping. [They're workaholics, both of them. It could be argued that she's becoming one too.]

Find anything of interest, Miss Emille?

[If Emille turns to the voice, she'll spot the familiar face of the woman who aided her not too long ago. A soft smile graces her features as she greets the other woman. It's probably a bit unsettling she was able to get so close without making any noise, but at least she means Emille no harm.]

[Urtz's smile grows a bit once she sees her fellow faculty member jolt so suddenly. She was hoping to see get a slight rise out of her, if for no other reason than because she loves stirring a bit of mischief. Suffice to say Emile's reaction pleased her.]

No doubt. There's quite a lot of information stored here. I daresay it would take several lifetimes to even have a chance of reading everything here. Just the sort of thing that is of interest to my family and thus to me. It's very likely I'm going to be spending a good deal of my time here, so I thought it for the best to get myself acquainted with this place as soon as possible.
imyoubut: (008)

[personal profile] imyoubut 2020-01-04 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
[At Emille's question, Urtz nods.]

We're interested in many forms of knowledge and information. Education and information are our specialties within the mage community. Few can hope to compete with us.

[Even fewer now that the families responsible for destroying her home and family's reputation and status had been dealt with. A fact she's all to pleased about.]

In any case, it would be my pleasure. Although...I'm sure the prophecy index would be an excellent place to start. I could show it to you, if you would like?

wow!!!!

what kind of research do you plan to conduct? super secret ones? any of them involve radioactive spiders?
escardos: (cinque.)

[personal profile] escardos 2020-01-04 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
sign me up!!! i hope we can participate in super secret research together, professor! i’ll meet you in person!

Very well. [ He gives her a nod and goes to where he's directed, returning with several boxes.

It's worth noting that he's only holding one in his arms, however. The other two are being lifted, apparently effortlessly, by bandages that seem to come from behind him. ~*Magic.*~
]

I'm at your service, miss Emille. Please, lead the way.

[ If she leads, he'll follow, as he's said. He's a man of his word, at the very least. ]

I hope moving in hasn't been too troublesome for you otherwise?
