So, can people teleport here? As in, have you gained that power, or you had it before coming here? Has it changed somewhat, or did you lose it altogether?

And if I wanted to travel all over the world, who should I talk to?

[Well she didn't say anything about his male fiance, so there's one test probably passed.]

Dr. Geiszler and I have been working without interns or assistants for long enough that it simply hasn't occurred to us as something to look into. If you can weather our arguments and find yourself interested in learning either or even both fields however, then it's entirely possible.

[suldreen]

[ Sophie Foster can't even talk to boys without feeling woefully inadequate, her policy on people liking people is that they're all better than her at it, who cares about genders? ]

Sure, the school I was going until recently was filled of things supposedly impossible by human standards, so my threshold for brain breaking things is pretty high.

[driftsintobuffetline]

But how's your tolerance threshold for stuffy mathematicians? because Hermann is basically the stuffiest.

[suldreen]

[ Well, at least Hermann gave her a heads up. ]

Maths are easy, so I should be able to survive it somehow.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Maths? Oh, god. Maths. Plural. How British.
Hermann will like you.

[suldreen]

And you won't?

...whoever you are?

[driftsintobuffetline]

I'm the biologist/fiance/lab partner/infinitely better half/etc. Call me Newt.

And I might like you. We'll see!

[suldreen]

Oh, okay. I'm Sophie.

So you can teleport with math too?

[driftsintobuffetline]

Only if Hermann lets me.

[suldreen]

He can send people away?

So what can you do?

[driftsintobuffetline]

Oh I can send people away, too. Why do you think Hermann warned about out arguments?

[suldreen]

So, should I get in the argument or just take cover until it blows over?

[ Taking notes, like seriously. ]

[driftsintobuffetline]

Feisty! If you can hold your own in one of our arguments, you'd have earned a spot in the lab

[suldreen]

I can't believe we're talking about imaginary discussions before I even go there.

When can I go there, anyway?

[driftsintobuffetline]

Hypothetical. Not imaginary.

Uh. Hermann, when can we pencil her in?

[mathemagier]

It's not as though we get a lot of visitors. Anytime during regular work hours is suitable. Unless there's any particular project you'd like to show off.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Nothing you'll LET me show her.

[mathemagier]

[You were wondering about those arguments Sophie? They don't really stop, only pause]

Well we don't want her passing out on the floor the moment she steps in the lab.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Oh, please, Hermann. Some people can actually stomach something other than chalk and numbers in their science.

[mathemagier]

It's called building up a tolerance- unless of course you don't want her to hang about.

[driftsintobuffetline]

You throw them in the deep-end, see if they sink or swim, babe.

[mathemagier]

It's your headache then. Don't ask me to port her anywhere.

[driftsintobuffetline]

You're just mad she's going to pick to be MY lab assistant. :P

[mathemagier]

Impeccable timing, Newton. I was just beginning to wonder whether or not you'd barge in.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Oh please. You'd be so disappointed if I didn't.
