Come to the kitchen. I want to try something out.

...You know, something that will benefit all the castle, help spread holiday cheer and is in no way juvenile.

Ho ho ho.

Hodgins

[apropos of nothing filtered, of course, but ... he HAD to tell him, and he sounds almost a little more excited than he should be about this prospect, like a kid who can't wait to tell on a sibling just to get them in trouble. only ... in a non-malicious sort of way]

Dr. Hodgins! Dr. Hodgins!! Did you know that the lights outside explode if you hit them too hard? I heard that they do, you know...!

Five

[Oh man, this one sounds just as excited]

Dude, I know! I exploded on by accident.

[Not planning to put one in the microwave at all...nope >>]

Hodgins 4 evah!

Somehow, I wouldn't think the words "accident" and you go together very often. ... So, any experimental plans?

I'm thinking we may have found a power source that might last out beyond those barriers, myself. Think Rikku might be up for helping us explore that particular hypothesis?

Five 4eva and eva!

[thelabking.livejournal.com]

...Maybe.

I know Rikku would jump at the chance. We could all use something to do around here that doesn't involve running for our lives and screaming.

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

... I never mind the running quite so much. The screaming does hurt the ears after a while, though.

Something new, though. That's refreshing as all get-out, don't you think?

[thelabking.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is. I missed out on the last trip out, it'd be interesting to see what's out there.

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

Well, the snow's rather high, right now. I had quite a time getting back in... but perhaps once it's down, we can have another go. We need to see how far out that barrier goes now, after all. You'll be the first I ask.

I don't feel like dying of hypothermia either. Great, thanks man.

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

It's getting a bit like Ribos, out there. ... I suppose it's a good thing Romana went home, she wouldn't be happy about it.

[thelabking.livejournal.com]

I can't remember if I met her or not.

[cricketycricket.livejournal.com]

Then you didn't meet her ... if you had, you'd certainly remember. [and there's a little roll of his eyes in his tone]
