Tinkering (Open)

[Sieg]

Sieg whistled as he worked on some of his latest ideas. He had been able to secure an empty classroom in the Academy and had turned it into his personal laboratory. He was currently tinkering with his mana bomb idea, so far he hadn't been able to get a big enough explosion out of them. Sieg was sure it was a problem with the fuse, the mana and his homemade explosive mixture clearly weren't igniting the way he had intended.

Banging, hissing, clanging, and flashes of light could been seen and heard coming from the room. Sieg had been at it for several hours now and still wasn't able to get it exactly how he wanted it. It angered him but at the same time it fueled him, Sieg found it almost impossible to let go of a project once it started to challenge him. He was lost in his own world as he continued to work, oblivious to his surroundings or anyone who might be peering into the dingy old classroom to see what the source of the light and noises were.

There was a tremendously loud explosion as Sieg was thrown out of the room. The door was blown of it's hinges and in splintered pieces on the ground. Sieg hit the wall with a soft thud, covered in soot an ash. His goggles were completely black and his head hung limp as if he were unconcious. Suddenly his head shot up with an odd grin and a laugh, his white teeth stood out starkly in comparison to his blackened face. Atticus stumbled out shaking it's head.

"Haha! It worked...now we've just got to control the blast...I can't have it going out off whenever it feels like it," he said with a laugh as he jumped to his feet, giddy about his success. That was when the dizziness hit him, he shook his head, steadying himself by placing a hand on the wall, "Woah...that...that can't be good," he said, starting to breath heavily.

[Kheldar]

"I told you all that tinkering was a waste of magic..."

Kheldar's familiar voice said as he turned the page in his book.

Crackle...

He was sitting on a window ledge that was close to the classroom and looked down at the poor Seig who was slightly charred beyond belief. In a way it was very hard to stiffle a laugh as he looked at him with an amused look.

"Perhaps you should find someone who can build a bomb already and then make it magic."

He said with a slightly pitying look as he motioned him over.

"At least sit down. You probably suffered a mild concussion from that."

[Sieg]

Sieg looked over at Kheldar with a grin. He wiped the soot and ash from his goggles so he could see him better. He looked mildly familiar but Sieg was having trouble putting the face with a name. Ah, Kheldar that was his name, he was the one he had debated the functionality of wings on Atticus with. Yes, a user of the fusion of magic and technology as well, if Sieg's memory served him correctly.

"Ah Kheldar, nice to see you again too," Sieg said with a chuckle as he shook his head again, clearing away the cobwebs. Kheldar mentioned something about getting someone else make the bombs for him and then infuse them with magic. Where was the excitement and adventure in that?

"I could do that, but would be the fun in that? I'd rather sculpt it with my own hands and see it through from start to finish then it is truly my own," he said with a grin as he shifted his goggles up to his head. The pale skin around his eyes that had been shielded from the soot and ash stood out in stark opposition to the blackness that covered the rest of his face. He moved over to sit down next to Kheldar.

"So what have you been up to lately?" he asked, as he peered over at his book, trying to get a glimpse at what he was reading.

[Kheldar]

Kheldar looked up at the question for a few moments and bounced around whether or not to answer it. Or answer it truthfully anyways. Yesterday had been a rather good time with a particular vixen by the name of Phaedra Weiss. Oh yes it had been a good day indeed considering well he did get some nice moments. Yeah let's not go down that train of thought or he'd go rambling on it. Kheldar tugged his earlobe for a moment as he looked at the soot-covered technomancer for a brief moment.

"I never said anything about having the bomb built."

Just providing sound advice.

"I'm just saying you should study your explosive mixtures more carefully or go to someone who uses technology as much as you do. Let them teach you how to build a better bomb. At the rate you're going you'll kill yourself."

Then he won't get blown off his ass...

Admittedly...

That would be kind of funny...

Kheldar turned a page even as something went off.

Crackle.

KA-BOOM!

The dull raring echo in the next room truthfully most of these rooms had been empty and Kheldar now and then tossed remote bombs inside a room to give it a new disposition. After all if a room wasn't being used, why not use it as a testing area.
