Insects and other lifeforms intensely allergic to electricity would probably do well to stay away from the section of lab Nikola has appropriated for himself.

Colorful, Serbian curses waft over from his workspace, accompanied by the occasional, impressive shower of sparks.




[ooc: Nikola probably won't electrocute your pup, should you care to stop by. :)]

Owen frowns uneasily. "So, basically... what you're saying is that you don't give a monkey's about anyone here... and they don't care about you?"

Owen shoves his hands in his pockets. "I don't know what I'm doing here. In this place I'm like a patient who needs help, when frankly what I just want to do is - go off and cut up a stiff, or something. Something I actually know how to do."

Nikola's situation makes him realise just how stuck he is. He feels like kicking something in frustration, and if the room had belonged to anyone other than Nikola Tesla, he probably would have done, too.

"Will found out, he'd kill me," Owen says without mirth. He frowns and shrugs. "Wouldn't accomplish anything, anyway. I want to get on and do my job and not be treated like the corpse on the slab.

I know I am one, but... hey, wonder what it'd actually feel like to be autopsied? Might tickle a bit. But only if I put my mind to it..."

It would be a terrible idea. Interesting, but still...

(ooc: sorry for the gap. had to go for dinner)

"As long as we stitched me up afterwards, it'd be an... experience."

As does Owen's.

(ooc: hey, so sorry i haven't replied for a while. RL's been hectic, plus Owen's been going through a bit of a bad time with Will. I'd still like to play on this thread, though, if it's okay with you?)

(ooc: thanks! :)

Owen gives him an innocent grin. "Why ever not?"

There's something else he's been considering ever since Will mentioned it. He just has to ask - it can't do any harm, can it? But he's Nikola Tesla... oh, stop it. Owen tries to pull himself together. No harm in asking.

"Nikola..." Get on with it. "Mate, you know how I'm undead? It must be some kind of energy, and they said you've got a way with that kind of thing...?"

Owen presses on. "They said the energy could last for thirty years - or thirty seconds..."

Owen sighs, not sadly, just thinking. At least Tesla hasn't laughed in his face yet.

"That's the thing, really. We couldn't find out a lot about whatever it is except it's dissipating - and nothing much seems to affect it." He grins at Nikola. "I stuck my hand in a fuse box once, and it tickled... but that was it."

"Might not be as interesting as the autopsy, but probably more useful in the long run," Owen agrees.

"What kind of tests? Bet you've got some... different equipment here, you being, well, Nikola Tesla and all that..."

(ooc: No problem. Seems like LJ's been playing up for everyone)

"Well, if we could... it's just weird, knowing that you could go at any minute," Owen says slowly. "I mean, it's not frightening - obviously, we all could - "

But he knows where he's going, so actually it is frightening. Very much so.

" - but I want to stick around as long as possible. Second chance and all that." He shrugs, as if it's not any kind of big deal.

"How do you know I'm worth anything?" Owen mutters. "Course I want to stick around. Even if I'm not," he adds doubtfully.

Owen decides not to mention his jump into Cardiff Bay.

"I know that. There's always something, some spark of hope. And while that sounds all well and good talking a suicide off a rooftop - " - he sighs - " - harder to find that something for yourself, innit, mate?"

He shoves his hands in his pockets. "S'pose that's why I want to live. Want to know if I'm worth anything. So!" He gazes over Nikola's shoulder at his project, avoiding his eye. "Those tests?"
