Let's do this One Last Time [video]

All right, people. I’m going through the archives of this place to convert all the parchment confetti into indexable data sheets.

You can thank me later for saving you all the headache.

[ The vibe of this is an 8 AM Stand-Up Meeting rather than a gathering of guardians. The video's pov is from his lab, which in addition to the completed gigacomputer, was beginning to have half-finished little magitech doohickeys scattered in sparse nooks of free space. The amount of spiderbots seems to have been left at one (1) so far.]

First item: Mission debriefs. If you've fought any dark forces recently and have extra concerning details to share, we should write it down instead of keeping it in our heads. 

Second: Current Projects. Anyone who's a friend to reindeer - you ought to talk to Phil and do him a solid for all the holiday prep. For the science nerds lurking around, I’d like to borrow your brains over here.

[ He'd normally have Lyla take care of this, but he's stuck with non-sentient computers. He hates it! ]

Last: Introductions for the new kids. And universe number, if your world has one of those - the chalkboard maps are getting digitized. I'll start.

My name is Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man of Nueva York. No, they aren't vampire fangs. [ tired hand wave, as if recapping for the millionth time. ] I‘ve been mopping up messes in my neck of the multiverse until getting picked for fairy-tale duty with the rest of you.

[ Oh god, why? It's too early; if he comes up with an idea, he's not going to be able to fall back to sleep. ]

I don't know? I'll have Loki look at it in the morning. Another Loki designed the magitech. I just use it.

Sorry, I am unfamiliar with this form of magitech. And I am afraid I broke it completely while attempting to understand it so I cannot give it back.
mostdangerousbird: (108 well it was what i wanted now)

The sun’s not up yet.

[ Because it’s past the September equinox. ]

Why do we have to keep business hours?

[ The blanket heap sighs and Tim sits up and rubs his eyes. ]

I know, but I only went to bed at 4.

[ Four hours sleep is a lot though. ]

What are you onto that has you this dialed in?

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2023-12-13 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if everyone here is into team spirit. Holiday spirits, maybe.

[ Which is a (hopefully) gentle way of cautioning him against assigning duties to people that aren't expressing interest. Or to Tim, really, but Tim has mutual interests so: unnecessary. ]

What program are you using to catalogue the digital files?

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2023-12-15 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
So it’s kludge that you’ve Frankenstein together out of toys. Is there a Speak N Spell involved?
mostdangerousbird: (029 didn’t recognize u w/o the handcuffs)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2023-12-23 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah you seemed a little too wound for educational toys.

[ He's not digging through the toy room to find an example for Miguel. He wouldn't be amused anyway. ]

You're lucky I can do hardware and software. I'll be there in 3.

I know some sleeping spells.

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2023-12-12 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you considered not poking the spider's web?
bestbrotherever: (sneer)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2023-12-13 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
I thought he would realize you have not had the time to give me the device, nor have I had the time to fake an accident so I could steal it for myself.

Though it is regrettably only half a lie. Given what you have told me of that Loki's magic, I doubt I could do much to alter it. His skills are- [far beyond his] very different from mine.
mostdangerousbird: (042 monitoring you like machines do)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2023-12-13 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tim considers this. ]

Could you duplicate it safely? Maybe I should take the time to build it out in its own computer program.
bestbrotherever: (smirk)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2023-12-13 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
How generous of you.

[And flicking the Miguel chat window off.]

I cannot promise anything. I may well be able to duplicate only the information it currently records. If it has any capacity to update as arrivals from new universe appear, I very much doubt I could replicate that.
mostdangerousbird: (145)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2023-12-13 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The updates are manual, and it doesn't have any scanning capabilities at all. Duplicating what's there now is all I'd ask you to do.
bestbrotherever: (incognito)

[personal profile] bestbrotherever 2023-12-14 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
I shall try my best, then. At your convenience. And I promise not to lie about breaking it.
