Meep meemiimeep!
Who: Beaker and you!
What: Beaker at work, exploring, suffering
Where: Bill's Lab, Animal Kingdom, Wherever
When: 4/16 - 4/18
Warnings: none right now!
A - Bill's Lab
[What's that sound? It resembles a very prolonged, loud "MEEEEEEEP"--specifically, Beaker screaming. If one bothers to stick around, they'll see a flaming orange streak--literally, flaming--speed past them straight to the sink. Beaker promptly sticks his head under the faucet, trying to extinguish his hair which is currently on fire. Soaked and stuttering, he collapses onto the ground, utterly exhausted. Working at Muppet Labs was bad, but this? This is a whole new level of hell. Not only is Bill a terrible boss, Beaker has probably been subjected to abuse that shaved a whole twenty years off of his eternal Muppet lifetime.
He just really wants to take his five-minute lunch break right now. Some lunch would be nice, but food isn't allowed in the laboratory.]
B - Wandering the Animal Kingdom
[Sometime when he's not suffering at Bill's hands, Beaker is out exploring the Animal Kingdom part of the park. When he and the rest of the Muppets visited--well, invaded--Disney World, they didn't get to explore this part of the park. He spends a good portion of the time wandering around and carefully observing the animals walking about, scribbling some notes down in a small notepad. Occasionally, he'll mutter to himself, then cross something out and move on. If someone passes by, he'll timidly approach them and point to an animal in the vicinity.]
Meemii--meep meemiimeep meemoo meep meemii?
[Excuse me--do you know if the animals here are prone to escape?]
C - Wandering / Wildcard
[Want to run into Beaker #2 anywhere in the park? Just post a comment with the date, location, and prompt!]

A scientist, huh. And this isn't your first rodeo...
[He gives the ID card a look over.]
You must be highly sought after. What work are you doing?
no subject
Meep, meemiimeep meemoo meep meemiimeep! Meep...meemiimeep meep meemoo meep....
[Well, previously, he worked on inventions for daily use and convenience, like the pet converter! But...recently, as he's been working for Bill, he hasn't exactly had the time to do any of that....
His expression looks vaguely distraught--at least, more distraught than usual.]
Meep? Meemiimeep meemoo meep?
[What about him? How's security work been treating him?]
no subject
What is it that this 'Bill' has you working on?
[It better not be a Metal Gear.]
Security's similar enough to my old job for me to be good at it. [He itches for a cigarette, before realizing he's not allowed to smoke here. He grunts.] Different enough for a change of pace.
no subject
[Well...all kinds of stuff. Usually, it's just maintenance on the stuff that already exists, like the robots and stuff, since Bill does most of the making around here. He wishes he could do more, but...well.
He doesn't explain further, but instead directs his attention back to Snake.]
Meep? Meemiimeep meemoo meep meep?
[Really? And what was his old job?]
no subject
When Beaker asks him about his line of work, he shows no visual discomfort, but there's a reluctance in his voice.]
It's...classified.
