[Greetings Tranquility. Combeferre is peering at the screen, a look of intense concentration on his face, a stack of datapads nearby.]

It has come to my attention that I am in need of a few items. Notably a candle and a light source for it, lead from a pencil, a flask, and the element argon. If any of them might be retrieved, I will, of course, compensate you accordingly.

[Yeah. Because none of THAT looked suspicious or anything. There's a moment longer while Combeferre smiles politely at the screen before the feed cuts. Oh. Oh Dear.]

...Does one dare question why, Michel?

[More notably, to the man playing at Strato of Lampsacus, did he dare answer that he was in possession of lead?

...Argon?]

Ah to attempt to replicate something I was reading. Under safe conditions, I do assure you.

[If by safe, we accept "in the kitchen". Which probably does not begin to count.]

I see. Another engineer shall help you?

[Forgive him. He thinks you capable, but would not see you hurt.]

I would lend you my lead, then.

I am certain such MAY be arranged.

[Sure. He'll find someone to agree with his light show, Jehan. That person may only technically exist in the sense that "I" and "me" can count as two people but...]

You would be the best of friends for that.

....[This look is a mixture of suspicion and amusement.]

What are you playing at, my dear?

Edited 2013-12-04 08:21 (UTC)

Am I trusted so little as that?

[That smile there? Yeah, proof he doesn't mean this at all.]

Really, I should be more affronted were it not you attempting to accuse. Only something I've read about.

Edited 2013-12-04 08:58 (UTC)

Certainly not, I am merely curious.

[There's a small smile.]

What is it, if I might ask?

You would not believe the things that they can do within the common microwave.

[Combeferre's grin is fairly massive here. Mad Science! Oh fuck.]

[--For his part, Enjolras looks somewhat skeptical.] Did you not already attempt to destroy one?

[Here, Combeferre's expression becomes slightly affronted there at best.]

I did not ATTEMPT such. It was an accident. Under controlled circumstances, it will, of course, not be destroyed. Instead, we shall have a light show!

[Oh come on, Combeferre, it was a joke. Then again, he has never been the best with jokes.]

A light show? How are you certain this will, in fact, be controlled?

[Because of his learnings. Of course. No, actually...]

Oh through the reading I have done that would create a controlled environment, of course. Simple matter, really.

I ...see. Well, do inform me when you wish for this to take place. [So he can avoid the kitchens, thank you very much.]

Of course, I shall.

I WAS hoping I might persuade several of you to attend.

[There's a little sigh.] Were you?

It WILL be interesting, I can grant you.

[That's one way to put it, Ferre. Also, dangerous and deadly and...]

Perhaps if I do some practice runs alone before inviting you. Would you consent to that?

I would, yes, so long as you do not singe your eyebrows off.

The one has only just started to grow in. I would not risk it again.

That would certainly be unfortunate.

[Have a sheepish grin there.]

If anything, I would hope it comes off doing something valuable. This is, essentially, playing with science.

You do quite enjoy doing that. Please try and be careful, if you must.

[Have an eyedart there.]

Science. Of course.

[Yeah, Be afraid.]

[Eyebrow arch goes here.]

The science of...what, precisely?

Of...atomic energy. [Microwaves count in that vein do they not?]
