......

[Accelerator just shrugs. It's a huge pain, and dangerous, and means his life is pretty miserable, but there's no point in complaining about it when it's his own problem.]

... Oh. Yeah. The city funds them. [He didn't think of that.]

[purplexing]

Yep. And I'm sure all they want is results.

Anyway, I'll need to do some tweaking and probably expand my subject study to get a better baseline.

... [He glances over at the kid again.]

Is there anything you want to do? Or eat or go see? Like, if this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you, what would you want?

[levelshift]

Well, yeah. [What else would they want?

Accelerator frowns a tiny bit. Once in a lifetime opportunity?]

I don't know. I don't think about stuff like that, so I'm fine.

[purplexing]

Seriously? Not even like...watch any movies or get some books to read?

What do you do for fun?

[It seems ridiculous a question to ask Accelerator as a teenager but it shouldn't nearly be so asking kid-version Accy, right? Then again, there isn't too much of a difference. That's...kind of depressing to think about.]

[levelshift]

[It's a valid question. Unfortunately, he only gives a tiny shrug in response.]

Why do you want to know?

[People don't usually ask him this kind of thing, so it's really weird.]

[purplexing]

Curiosity? I mean, how are people supposed to hang out if they have no idea what the other person likes or wants to do?

...although I guess that's fair, you don't really know me so it's probably weird being asked.

[levelshift]

... Right. [It's definitely weird being asked.] We don't hang out, so you shouldn't care.

[Then again, he doesn't hang out with anyone, so.]

[purplexing]

Harsh, but I guess from your current perspective, not untrue.

So...do you want me to leave?

[levelshift]

.... [Accelerator does feel a little bad, even though he doesn't know this guy.]

Um. Yeah. I'm fine on my own. I'll find that shithead and it'll be fine.

[purplexing]

If you're sure. Um. Here, I'll leave this.

[Donnie pulls out a burner phone he tends to carry around because you never know when you might need a thing, right? Just a quick programming adjustment.]

If you need anything, my contact info's there. Or just say 'call Dee' and it'll do the rest.

[He puts it on the table.]

[levelshift]

[Accelerator looks down at the phone. He shouldn't need it, he should have plenty of scientists looking for him, but....

But he reaches for the phone anyways, carefully taking it with one hand.]

Okay. Thanks.

[purplexing]

[Giving him a nod and a brief smile, Donnie turns then to head for the door. He pauses there, glancing back at the kid before he steps out.]

Well, take care and I guess I'll see you around.
