Beaker Is Trying To Be Useful
Who: Beaker and whoever else joins him
What: trying to establish some sort of communication network in this place
Where: Ellen's lab, his apartment, or Joffrey's
When: throughout June
Warnings: none currently
[So, it's been a few months now. A lot has happened since everyone showed up in this place- a robot mayor fell to pieces, a evil dumbass became mayor in his place, unleashed an army of gremlins, and immediately got impeached. Also Beaker nearly killed a man in cold blood, but that's not important.
What is important is that it's been several months and they still don't even have, like, phones. Like they're barbarians.
Listen, don't get him wrong- Beaker's been around since before computers were even a thing. But he's still a very computer-oriented person, and by god if he doesn't get a hold of actual communicative technology soon he might go mad. As sad and pathetic as it sounds, he misses the internet. Even if he just got thousands of comments every week asking him invasive personal questions or telling him to die.
Which is why he's now hard at work in his spare time trying to like. Figure that out. He'll be spending even more time than usual at Ellen's Lab, trying out prototypes, testing out new ideas, and occasionally blowing himself up. God, he wishes Bunsen were here. It'd be really nice if Bunsen had like, somehow showed up here within the last few weeks and Beaker just hadn't noticed yet because Bunsen had found the other Beaker first.
During these next few weeks, you might find some posters around the city, with fairly simple messages[he's no graphic designer, that's for sure]. Most of them can be boiled down to: "Want to help establish communication in this town? Contact Beaker at Ellen's Lab!" The posters also list the apartment he lives in at Vista Way, so you can always drop in and visit. Though there's no guarantee he'll actually be there at any normal time.
On the rare occasions Beaker actually takes a break and not passed out from exhaustion in his apartment, he'll usually be found at Joffrey's Coffee Shop, trying to stave off exhaustion with around ten cups of coffee- the tried and true method to keeping him physically incapable of falling asleep [and also being absurdly gay in the process, but that's another story].
Of course, it also makes him even more danger prone, so maybe don't let him near anything flammable or combustable right now. He's already spilled three cups of coffee in the past 10 minutes.]

m... meep?
[Beaker's voice is small, and his eyes seem even wider than normal- uncomprehending. He hasn't hear a damn word Bunsen said, he's a little busy trying to figure out if he's dreaming or not.
no subject
[Waves his tiny muppet hand in front of Beaker's face.]
Are you okay? I know it's been several weeks more or less but uhh-
[did he break his boyfriend without doing anything?????? oH NO]
no subject
[He stammers out the word, still shocked. But slowly, Beaker's realizing that this is real- his crush is back and he's HERE and he's not alone in this weird place anymore and-]
MEEP! MEE-MIMI MEE!!!!
[And just like that, Beaker is gonna just. Lunge over the table and wrap Bunsen into a hug that would be bonecrushing if they actually had spines. What follows is a rush of delighted meeps, that translates essentially to the following ramblings:
you're here you're really here it's been like two months but I've missed you so much I've been dealing with this weird guy who keeps making me do his dirty work and, be his henchman, and he tried to take over the whole city and, and people keep patronizing me and refusing to listen to me and I didn't know if I'd ever see you again or any of the rest of the Muppets and I've missed you so much did I say that already I can't believe this youre finally HERE-
Aw. He might be crying a little, at least as best as a Muppet can- so no actual tears, but it's the thought that counts.]
no subject
[He's laughing and probably crying a little which is a feat for someone without eyes- Bunsen hugs right back and even gives him a small kiss on the nose. Wow....what pals, right? Totally normal, nothing out of the ordinary whatsoever-]
Whoah! Slow down a bit, Beakie!! I'm here in the flesh again- or should I say felt?
Weird guy- It's not that temporary mayor, is it? I'll be sure to deal with him later; those goblins when I arrived were the worst! Ohh Beaker, it was a rough and lonely month without you and the crew. Two weeks, even. Nothing's been happening with the Muppets lately, and that dimensional ticket felt like a perfect one-way trip!
[He's- Well okay, he's gonna assume their second reunion was still like the first; it has been awhile since the goblin fight, and he's more than happy to accept hugs and affection from Beaker.]
no subject
Beaker hesitantly pulls away, sniffling. His meeping is still a little rushed and stutter-y, but not as bad as before.]
M-meemi muhmi meep mi- meemuh.
[No, not the temporary Mayor- Plankton.
And even Bunsen would be hard pressed to not notice how disgusted Beaker is when he says that name. But his meeping turns fond again as Bunsen continues.]
Mee-mi muh mee meep-muh-mi-minimuh mee?
[How bad was the whole "midlife crisis" thing this time?]
