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.]

[Not... really, but Beaker supposes that depends on your definition of "work."
As he speaks, Beaker looks over the communicator in his hands, idly going through the settings.]
Mi meepmi muhmeep-mimini muh meep mi mi. Muh-meep muhmi meep mi mi-mimi, meep muh-muhmimimeep minimuh meep. Muhmi meep mi meep-meep muhmimi.
[Back home, Beaker's spent most of his life with the rest of the Muppets. "Work" for him is a mixture of creating, building, and testing various experiments, and being involved with sketch comedy and/or dangerous stunts. He doesn't have time for much else, usually, and since he can't really do the latter two here, he's been focusing on the former.]
no subject
New city and all. [He shrugs.] Don't gotta do what you did before. I know you couldn't pay me to go back to my day job back home. [He's being. Very generous with his use of 'day job'. But it's close enough to the same point, he guesses.]
no subject
[Of course he likes it! I mean, there's always the threat of him getting electrocuted or set on fire or sent flying into the stratosphere or getting caught in an explosion or mauled by a tiger or- the point is Beaker loves being part of the Muppets, regardless of the threat to his person. And he misses the rest of the Muppets. And he wants to do his job, both because it's what he's used to and because he enjoys it.]
no subject
But if you need a hand with it, you call me. I mean it. [It's more than slightly obvious that Beaker looks dead-tired already. It's not that Jed doesn't have faith in him figuring out how to make an actually working communicator of the proper scale, but... well, he wouldn't really have faith in anybody to pull that off.]
No use in you droppin' dead from exhaustion just to make it work when I'm already used to making my own things.
no subject
[Don't worry- he's dealt with worse. Like the time Bunsen accidentally turned him into a ghost. Or the time Bunsen had him drink so much coffee that he had to get knocked out by an explosion in order to sleep. Or the time Bunsen tried to put his brain in a robot and put a rodent brain in his body. Or the time Bunsen locked him in a cage with a wedge of cheese that kept telling awful jokes.]
no subject
Must be pretty fond of that Bunsen fella.
[Y'know to put up with. All of that.]
What's that sayin'? 'Love is blind'?
no subject
Meep-mi muhmeep minimuh, muh-meep mi mi muh-mi, mini-meep-meep muh meep mi meep...
[Or the time Bunsen teleported him to the middle of the jungle, or the time Bunsen threw sharpened bananas at him, or the many times Bunsen electrocuted him or set him on fire...]
