Communication Central
Who: Beaker and you!
What: Mingle log + mini-event giving away the brand new communicators
Where: Ellen's lab!
When: August 6th
Warnings: None
[Throughout the first few days of August, Beaker can be found plastering posters all around Progress City. If you happen to see him, he'll look absolutely exhausted, but it's fine- it won't be long before he can finally rest without this project looming over his head. Like the ones from June, the posters aren't particularly well designed or glamorous, but they get the job done. They all have the same message: on the 6th of August, there'll be a booth outside Ellen's lab giving away the newly finished communicators that Beaker has been working on for the past month and a half! And they're completely free of charge!
Sounds like a good deal.
Early Monday morning, while it's still fairly dark outside, Beaker gets to work. Ellen, bless her, helps set up the booth itself and carry the boxes of communicators outside. She even sets out an extra table for drinks and snacks- which, to be honest, is probably more for Beaker's sake than anything else. Not only has he been neglecting sleep, but he's been too busy finalizing the devices to remember to eat or drink. The last thing she needs is for her puppet assistant to keel over from dehydration.
Once the booths are set up, anyone can come by and pick up their communicator! There's even two miniature devices set aside- one for Basil, and one for Jedidiah. They're still a bit too over-sized, but hey- it's the thought that counts, right? And Beaker has plans to design smaller ones in the future, once he gets the hang of making stuff on such a tiny scale.
Beaker's also available for any questions people might have; though bear in mind, as the day goes on, he'll be getting more and more tired. By late Monday afternoon, he has his head on the table, and Ellen might have to take over for a bit.
Eventually, once it gets dark outside, and the remaining stragglers around the booth head home, Beaker'll start packing things up and bringing it all back inside. The remaining communicators will be available in Ellen's lab, for anyone who couldn't make the Monday giveaway. But unfortunately, if you're late, you probably won't be seeing Beaker for a while. As soon as he gets home to Vista Way, Beaker collapses onto his bed, and probably isn't waking up again until Wednesday afternoon.
It's finally time for this Muppet to rest.]

[Basically cell phones, yes! You can't access your email from whatever world you came from, though- just messages by others in Progress City.
... Beaker may or may not be trying to hide his face in the hopes that Pete won't recognize him.]
no subject
[Pete stares at the communicator in his hand, scratching his chin. He tries peering over the stack of posters currently blocking Beaker's station.]
You sound familiar. Do I know you?
no subject
[Yeah, he gets that a lot lately. You're probably thinking of someone else.]
no subject
[Pete's too enraptured by the tiny communicator to pursue this line of thinking any future. He manages to open up the bulletin board and immediately lights up.]
Ooh! Now this is interestin'! How d'you work this post thing?
no subject
[Just type whatever you want to say! You can also scroll down and see if there're any other messages posted, and reply to them directly if you want.]
no subject
[Pete starts typing out a message before he pauses.]
Are you allowed to change the name you post under? Like...what's it called. A knob. A...uh...handle! Yeah, that's it. I knew it had somethin' to do with doors.
no subject
... Mmmmeep, mi-mimuhmeep mi. Mini-muhmeep mi mimeep mi-muhmi meep mi mi.
[...Yyyes, and you can post things anonymously, too. There should be an option for that when you go to start typing a new post.]
no subject
Uh-huh. That's very helpful. In the future, try to add more helpful things like that, alright?
[He starts to wander off somewhere, now typing fervently on his communicator. You may have just unleashed a monster, Beaker.]
