Party Down
Who| Everyone!
What| A party
Where| In the Sim Rooms
When| After "Whistling in the Dark"
Warnings/Notes| N/A
Avoiding the destruction of Legion World was more than enough reason to throw a party, especially since its destruction could've meant the Lunar Debris Field might have fallen out of its orbit onto Earth. After Legion World's repairs were underway and the ship was mostly safe again, the old-timer Legionnaires decided to throw a little party in celebration of the newbies getting through their first trial by fire.
Even though duty might call them away, they all figured on being able to spend at least a little time hanging out with the rookies.
One of the Sim Rooms proved itself to be the best place to have a party, since the inside could be made as big as they needed it to be. In one section they had a massive setup for laser tag, and in another area there were games and food and couches in a massive square.
Times like these weren't going to be easy to come by, if the kind of crisis the Lux had caused was any indication, so it was time to enjoy their free time while they had it.

A pause, and he frowned, playing now with the ends of his hair for lack of a cup in his hands.
"I don't suppose any of this world's technology runs on magic energy, though."
no subject
"No. Thank sprock." A pause. "For the most part."
He rolled his eyes. The only reason he was telling Saralegui this was because he didn't believe in withholding such information.
But he hated magic. Hated it.
"Sorcerers' World may perhaps have...data -- I refuse to call it science -- regarding magical energy sources. Unlike the rest of the UP, it's a world that sees fit to regularly defy the laws of physics. It's where most magic-users that exist in the UP come from -- or where they receive training."

"All the people here have impossible powers, and you're getting stuck on magic?" Saralegui said, leaning in a little. Brainy certainly didn't try to hide his distaste with the whole thing. "I think you could stand to be a bit more open-minded."
no subject
"Meta abilities, though they seem magical or fantastic, have very organic roots in biology, physiology, physics, and biochemistry. If you understand these fields with enough proficiency you can see how these abilities -- while seemingly unnatural -- are in keeping with the normal physical laws of the universe."
He sank down in his seat, all broody-like.
"Magic, on the other hand, has no rules. It doesn't obey the physical laws of the universe that all other matter and energy in existence obeys. It may have internally coherent rules but how it intersects and alters reality betrays all possible natural laws."
no subject
His expression remained cool, but there was just the hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth like he almost relished being able to say it. It was an odd thing for anyone to take such an issue with, though -- magic was as natural a thing as any of his sciences. Honestly, it sounded like Brainy was just trying to justify his not liking the one thing he didn't understand.

It was said with a slight smirk this time.
That was one of the staff members came up to Brainy.
"Um, Mr. Five, sir, we've having a slight problem with the phase variance shifters in the threshold room. A few of us have taken a look at it, but..."
Brainy stood up, placing his empty glass on a nearby tray.
"Uh, sir, have you been drinking?" asked the staff member, eying the glass.
"Yes. Fortunately, the Coluan metabolism means I won't be engineering under the influence. Besides, I could repair this drunk or possibly in my sleep. Or both, if it were possible." He turned to Saralegui and inclined his head politely. "Duty beckons."

"Have fun," he said, already standing to find himself some other entertainment. "I'm sure you'll enjoy it more than you were enjoying all this."
