Open!
Who: Newton Geiszler and Yooooouuu
Where: An seedy looking office within LA Chinatown
When: Late March, every evening between 3-5
What: Newt's arrived in LA and before his official job starts, he decides to set up a health clinic for aliens and cyborgs. Because that's a thing you do.
Warnings: over zealous discussion of autopsy probably
[The best thing about not really sleeping much every night meant that Newt got over the jetlag from moving from Japan to America pretty quickly. Nothing several cups of coffee and a bowl of overly sugary cereal aimed at children (not middle aged scientists) couldn't fix, even if it was three in the afternoon.
He's got his laptop open, absently reading the latest shonen jump--it's really not the same reading it online, but it'll do--swinging around in his chair with a bowl of cereal in one hand, sucking on the spoon with his other.
The office is pretty basic, with a desk and a few chairs, a slowly filling bookcase and a sink. He's not had much time to get things set up since he's only been in the city for a few days but it's got the essentials for setting up a totally respectable clinic. As well as suspiciously looking like a studio apartment. He's been looking into getting a gurney for patients to make it look more clinic-y and less like he's living here, but figured a camp bed would do for now. It's certainly been good enough for him, so nobody will mind. If they're visiting they probably have a few different things to worry about anyway.
He isn't even sure if anyone will turn up, but it doesn't matter. He's got about four years of academia to catch up on before he starts at Mintaka, and of course, has left it to the last minute to do it.
But then again, he doesn't need sleep. So it'll probably take him no time at all.]

[But then he mentions Bartholomew and she relaxes significantly.] OH yes, he's a dear, isn't he? I made him quite a while ago. He was my first project.
no subject
Mmhn, yeah. Pancakes are great. I need to go to an IHOP now I'm back in the USA, because four am pancake cravings need to be sated.
[and back to the cat, which he offers a hand to--sniff?, detect??--and peers at it with wide, curious eyes. He looks like he's a kid again.]
What's it running on? AI or preprogrammed responses? Probably AI if it was running around and doing what it wants right?
no subject
[She shifts about for a moment, uncertain and not entirely sure if her joke even made much sense.]
That's--...An interesting question. He uhm....[She looks vaguely embarrassed.] Well, it's not that I can't work with an AI, I just...It's run by my cat. He--...You see, I can... [She bites her lip, moving over to pet Bartholomew for a moment.]
I happen to well, I can--I can bring back the dead? But their bodies are...They're not very good and I wanted to give my cat something better and this...I learned how to do this.
no subject
Oh man, that's cool! [he peers at the cat closer, watching it lean up into her touches. His mind starts running a mile a minute.] You built your cat a freaking Robot Suit! That's so cool! --Do I want to know how you bring them back from the dead or is it some sorta Frankenstein deal?
no subject
SO I make better forms for the things that need them.
no subject
So how does that even work?

no subject
Tendrils? Okay, you're gonna have to draw me a diagram or something, because I'm not following. And I'm a pretty smart guy.
no subject
I can do that at some point. If I find a place to set up, I can invite you over and show you the blueprints I used when I was first learning what I was doing, if you'd like! [She seems excited by this, more than someone probably should be, but she's just so thrilled at showing her work to someone!]
