Actually, pending my character approval, I was going to place myself in the cage room if that's alright. Well, to be more specific, in a large closet just off the cage room - my character's a polar bear, so he wouldn't be able to fit in the normal sized cages the rest of you have been using.

Sounds good, y/n?

i do not like the fact that there are no activity in the cage room. the one that controls the guardish character outside the cages must post!!!!

I actually think we'd have cages that'd accomodate them properly. It'd make no sense to have equal sized cages if someone turns into, say, a rat who would be able to crawl through bar-spaces. It'd likely be patient specific to prevent powers or anything to break them.

Are you saying I should move my guy into the main room instead? I put him on a off shoot of the cage room under mod advice, because a polar bear does require a little more space.

If a post needs more action just point me towards it. We;ve still got a moody wolf in reserve as I've got no idea where to put her. As long as I can come up with a reason she's there, even if it's just she's been sent there to keep out the way of escaping wolves, then she'll be their.

Will is in need of an antagonist, he'll be breaking into a lab in a little while and someone's got to chase him away before he finds the hydrogen cylinders

Technically - all of the people 'need' more space, but we've been given just enough so we can stretch our legs, and be a bit comfortable. So an offshoot part of the cage room isn't *necessary* as much as the bear would need a bigger cage.

Then again, best to ask a mod.

HERP DERP I CAN’T READ—re-writing my response to actually address what I think I’m reading here… XD

My main reasoning for skipping it? They're NPCs. I just wanted a bit more information before opening the door to a group of characters that we have next to no desc on

And am I understanding you correctly in that if we DO open the door, they will likely stay behind there, and thus we needn’t worry about having to play an unknown group of NPCs as hangers-on?

That can be arranged, as she tends to hang around in the labs anyway. It could actually be possible she's been shut in there, due to aformention loose wolves. Unless anyone has any beter ideas?

Okay, I have to ask, who's Sonus?

Kayje Sonus

Ah, shows you how much I remember.

@ tank-mode Damien:

There is part of my brain that is objecting, since Kayje mentioned that the motivation for choosing aluminum for the plating material was partly that it's nonmagnetic so Damien couldn't play with it, so it seems odd that they would use magnetizable screws, but it is being out-shouted by the squeeing fanboy who is having Toph flashbacks. Awesome!

Seemed a little strange to me, too, but that's what Kayje said...
...and I'm not complaining.

YESSSSS!!

So not fair, Abel has no voice for a Sokka impersonation. -_-

Actually, now that I think about it, that raises an interesting question.

The reason some things can be magnetized and others can't, is because of the alignment, or lack thereof, of the poles of individual cells. In "non-magnetic" stuff, there is no alignment; the poles are scattered, facing every which-way, like ants who've lost their trail. And even specifically magnetic minerals can lose that property with a series of heavy, sharp impacts; that kind of punishment can knock the poles out of alignment, after which it would take another magnet to realign them and restore the magnetic force.

From there, it's not much of a leap to think that somewhere waaaaay down the line, when Damien has gained enough power and learned enough control, he might be able to magnetize anything; latch on to the individual cellular poles and align them by conscious will, like sorting beads.

I won't be playing that card here, of course, but it's an interesting concept of potential.

Ah, not all materials show that property, it depends on electron arrangements which is university level so I won't go into it here unless you really want me to (curiously this is in character knowledge for Will). Basically IIRC, everything will respond to a magnetic field if its large enough, but the size of field is on the order of kilotesla and for reference the standard bar magnet is around a ten thousandth of that. The traditional magnetic and ferrous materials require significantly less force to move around.

Based on our earlier discussion, I've retconned Fio into the main room, but haven't changed his actions. He's still waiting and watching before he'll speak up or do anything.
Sorry for any confusion, and let me know of any other changes.
