[ listen. it's not his fault he had to hit pause on his education so he could (checks notes) learn how to make a nail gun to kill his child trafficking parents with. ]
The Fontaine Research Institute. It did blow up awhile back, but you can still find some talented people there.
[ anyway. he pauses in condimenting his hot dog. her mood souring makes his own mood dip a little in response. ]

[ double the research double the fun??? ]
no subject
If you could, but I won't hold you to it.
[ it's not like this is a crime investigation. ]
no subject
she is not the love of his life (yet?) but he likes her well enough, so! ]
Not like I have much else to be doing right now. Your sun's shining a little brighter now, by the way.
no subject
she looks up with some thought. ]
Hmm... I think I'm starting to understand.
[ she does not elaborate. ]
no subject
Anything you'd like to share with the class?
no subject
she smiles because she can also be annoying. ]
I think you can figure it out. You seem like the type to catch on quick.
no subject
deadpan: ]
You're clearly unhappy to see me.
no subject
[ not quite as deadpan, but she also wasn't trying to be. ]
no subject
If I had to take an actual guess, I'd guess that these are tied to our emotions.
no subject
See? I knew you'd catch on. I don't know it's reading our moods, but it's an interesting effect.
no subject
Interesting right up until one of us gets sad and then end up rained on.
no subject
[ obviously joking. ]

[ i'll do anything to make a man cry ]
no subject
[ she and i will do anything to make a man cry. ]
no subject
[ it's time to make a grown man cry. ]
no subject
[ concession stands.... let's make a grown man cry. ]
Let's go.
no subject
Do you normally do things like this for fun?
no subject
[ it's so much more fun that way. anyway... hot dog stands usually have onions for relish. she looks around for one. ]
no subject
You would fit right in with the researchers at the Institute.
[ while ema looks for onions, wriothesley figures he might as well take the time to grab a hot dog. ]
What made you pursue a career in detective work then, if the thought of science excites you so much?
[ haha ]
no subject
she finds relish, but not the ingredients for it yet. she keeps looking. ]
Institute?
[ oh, boy, that question is so loaded. it makes her stop searching. the cloud above her darkens. ]
It wasn't what I wanted. They didn't give me the assignment I've been aiming for.
no subject
The Fontaine Research Institute. It did blow up awhile back, but you can still find some talented people there.
[ anyway. he pauses in condimenting his hot dog. her mood souring makes his own mood dip a little in response. ]
Assignment? Why not?
no subject
It blew up? How?
[ what happened to it. what happened to science...
she huffs and grumbles under her breath, something about not passing a test. ]
I'll get there soon. Just you wait. I'll pass that exam.
no subject
Something about a generator overloading? I'm not too familiar with the terms myself. It gave everyone quite the scare though.
[ but that's neither here nor there. he takes a bite of his hot dog, chews and swallows. how's ema's search for those onions going? ]
Exam?
no subject
[ even if it's sad!! science, she loves you. ]
I want to be a forensics scientist, a forensics investigator.
