I know that this is normally Mz. Hyde's job, but I noticed that this had not been posted yet today, so I thought I would help and post this for you all to use.
Hopefully Mz. Hyde won't mind me doing this for her.

((Thank you, RB!!
And Jekyll1886 here's my next post. Have fun with taking your hysterical ghost to work day, if you choose!))
He was a mess and he knew it. He knew this would happen and he had put it off for so long--too long. 
Sterling could feel the tears on his cheeks and wild look in his eyes. He could hear the emotions crackling in his vocal cord. He could feel the trembling of his form. He was a mess and he was ashamed of it.
He desperately wanted to leave this hell hole of a flat and be anywhere, doing anything else. Yet he was ashamed. He was ashamed of what had happened, what he now was, and of his current reaction. 
In all, Emerson didn't know how to respond. He what there, quiet, mouth agape, and frankly stunned at the proposal.

"Right, well, tell you what," said Weir. "Now that I think about it, my work will take me to the Society, where I'm sure you don't want to go. But I'll leave the flask open, just inside," he gestured to it, "the front door here. You'll be able to pass through, no trouble. Go for a walk, explore the city, spy on people--do what you like, when you feel up to it."
He checked his pocketwatch.
"I'd best be going."

((Hello there, sorry to potentially quibble about trifles, but I feel it necessary to straighten out a few details here: This roleplay with Emerson does not take place the day after the Restaurant RP and whatever happens in it. I was actually waiting until that RP wrapped up, and Hawley did whatever he did/learned whatever he learned, before roleplaying the meeting between Lewis and him. Additionally, it's morning in the current ghost/Emerson RP, and Griffin and Weir are supposed to meet at two in the afternoon, even were it the proper day. They are to meet in the garden, not the Main Hall, though it is possible Hawley didn't catch those details; you did say he "didn't take any notice" of Lewis when he specified them, concerned as Griffin was with the fact that the dinner might be a set-up. It would be understandable. Still, I appreciate your initiative.
One last thing: Please don't say that my character is late or early or any other thing. My character's actions are under my control, not yours. Lewis is a punctual person, and consent is important on this forum.))

Emerson did not want to be alone nor did he want to be with Weir. He did not want to stay in the flat, nor travel the streets, nor visit the place where he... died. He didn't want to be anywhere. Today was full of conflicting feelings...today had arrived in a blink of an eye.
Sterling resolved to do something--what that something was he didn't know. But a mysterious something was far better than sitting on the floor and doing nothing.
He straighten his clothes, wiped the emotion from his face, and began to recompose himself. He was still a mess, just less outwardly one. Emerson, however, did not speak during this process for his emotions were far too volatile and the smallest catalyst would cause a relapse.

Lewis did just as he'd said, descending the steps and setting the flask to the side of the door.
He gave Emerson a nod goodbye, then exited, locked the door, and went on his way.

Emerson watched Lewis disappear down the road swallowed up by the living city of London. He saw the citizens go about their lives. He saw children attempting to sell papers with mundane titles. He saw the police make their rounds and the clouds circle over head. He saw starlings hop through the streets, snapping up bugs. He saw the world turn and he saw life continue...without him.
---------------
When Lewis returned to his flat, Emerson was nowhere to be found. The flask was still open but the dead man was gone. A lost soul wandering the world.

Lewis chose not to cap the silver vessel.
Let him work it out in his own time, thought Weir. He'll return...or he won't. In the meantime, I shall keep that, he glanced at the flask by the door, as it is.
He climbed the stairs, and commenced his nightly routine.

And yes that is a Reese's Puffs label on a container that says "NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION".
So as for the bacon thing it was my first day working there and they had me clean out some dishes/trays with extra brain bits on them. I asked the Doctor if there was anything special I needed to do to dispose (biological hazord and all) and he said, "Just wash it down the sink!" as though it was the most normal thing in the world to wash bird brains down a sink drain.
"So...no need for biological bags or...?" was my response.
"Nope! Think of it like washing bacon down a sink!"
"Oh!" I exclaimed, "So there's a garbage disposal or a filter!"
He was silent for a moment, "I mean they probably have on at the water processing facility."
I gave him a look of You mean to say we're washing brains down a sink and into the water system?
He smiled and said, "What people don't know is in the sewers won't hurt them." before walking off and leaving me to wash the dishes.

(Oh my god I love this! Your writing is so GOOD!! (And again, it's fair, thank you for writing this :D (and im late aswell :P))
It's good you have a mentor figure there if you're going in the same direction. But really, poor guy XD That's an unpleasent experience, thinking you've screwed your whole career up because of an e-mail (even if he blew that way out proportion, that's relatable :P) He was just in despair! And now he's known as the Nexus of Disappointment :D
Your Doctor is a major troll! Is Carter his only victim?
Yes, more, please. Whenever you feel like it. I think you should save them somewhere. Maybe for your future memoire :P Or anyone really.
Brain-atlases: Oh, yes, that's some cool information :D And it kinda makes sense I guess, rats and mice are the most common lab animals, right? And next to monkeys they resemble humans the most. I'd actually like to study more of the differences in brain anatomy between species. When I get of my lazy a**.)
My response:
I AM SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG!!! I had the story written up and never posted it!! DDDX I hope that once I make it through May I'll be able to respond a lot more frequently and I seriously hope it's never this bad again!
It really make me happy to hear that you like my stories as all this crazy stuff happens to me on a semi weekly basis and I enjoy laughing about it with others.
As for a mentor Carter is a really good guy! A bit spastic but none the less a good guy. ;) As for victims the Doctor dishes it out to everyone! He'll pester Danielle about not using the blood mites for "social experiments" (aka creeping out the undergrads) and even I have gotten some of the good nature prodding with walking into this constant terrible puns. But this also leads me into the story of a guy who is pranked more often than Carter. And I'll post it here at the end again.
As for saving my stories I've been saving them in my email as I write them for you guys along with quick memory joggings sentences for the different stories I have yet to write. I've got everything from science stories to stripping stories to stories about Orangutans. ...I think I must have put out the weird beckon as they don't ever seem to stop coming. XD
Brain-Atlases: Yep! The more commonly used animal the more people will dissect the brains and graph it! AS for brains as long as it's a mammal brain they're very alike. Rats just are the typical lab animal, sort of a tradition thing if I remember correctly. I know there are some differences but I don't see much outside rat and bird brains where the most notable variation is the size of the lobs vs the number of nerves connecting them. I'm sure you'll find something in your area that'll give you more incite than what I have on the differences between species!
Funny story
So if you thought Carter is bad wait till you hear about this guy! ;) It took me a year to find out about him but once I heard his story, everything snowballed so quickly! XD
For the electrodes we need a certain size of bismuth wire. Now it's much cheaper for us to make it in the building rather than buying it...not necessarily easier, though. We have a small ceramic dish filled with a hunk of bismuth in it, which we then melt under a powerful heat gun (it's basically a jacked up hair dryer to be honest). Once the bismuth is melted we place one end of the appropriate sized plastic tubing into the it and use a syringe to create a vacuum that sucks up the metal. That isn't the hard part. The hard part is extracting the solid bismuth wire from it's plastic casing. I actually found a way to remove it fairly easily and quickly using a scalpel and tweezers. Because of this, Carter often puts me on bismuth duty where I am to make "endless amounts" of the wire. I don't complain as I enjoy it! After the wire is stripped from it's plastic home we then cut it into about 4mm to 5mm sections (about the size of your pinkie finger) which we then use in the electrodes. Now, all these extra wire pieces have to be stored somewhere and this "somewhere" happens to be a empty microscope cover-slip container. The odd thing about this container is that it has an orange piece of tape on it's side labeled "Chance". 
I had no clue as to why the extra bismuth box was called "Chance". I thought maybe this was the "Chance Bismuth". Where the bismuth was questionable so when using it you were taking a "Chance". But as time went on I realized it was only my bismuth in the box and I was sure that it was not questionable in the least! If anything it should be labeled "Community" as a bunch of different labs all used it! "Community Bismuth" what novel idea!
Eventually, one day during snack time after making a ton of Bismuth, curiosity got the better of me and I asked Carter, "Why is the bismuth container labeled Chance?"
"Oh! It originally belonged to another grad student named Chance!" Carter said turning around from his desk.
"And...it's ours now? Did he graduate?" I said staring at the odd container, as his answer only led to more questions. Why was it still labeled "Chance" if it was ours? Why wasn't it labeled "Bismuth"? Or "Community"? Or "Community Bismuth"? How did we even get it?
"Chance used to work next door," Carter explained, "but he switched labs and we got the box."
At this point Danielle sat up from her book, pulled out her head phones, and corrected Carter, "You stole the box."
At the time this did not sound like Carter at all! (Later, though, I found out he has done a lot of...pranking in his time. ;) ) Carter stealing something? And where was this grad student? Why hadn't he come back for his box? It's not like we had money to spend willy-nilly! In fact I was pretty sure the beans in the lab coffee pot were stolen from the English Department! I looked from Danielle to Carter, then back to Danielle and finally resting my gaze upon Carter, but their faces were serious. Carter did not refute the accusations but instead joined in Danielle's chuckling!
"Yeah," Carter grinned, "I stole it." That explained why "Chance" was still on the box. It was a trophy.
"But...didn't he know you took it? Won't he come back for it?" I protested worried about the repercussions of their actions.
"Chance has never been in here...I think," He looked at Danielle for confirmation.
"Nope! And I doubt he even realized it's missing!" She grinned, "Chance is one of those guys who's even more fun to mess with than Carter."
"More fun...?" I looked at her perplexed. I doubted this was even possible considering how Carter was....Carter!
"He's by far worse than me!" Carter smiled looking past me at the memories, "We all get in on pranking!" He then goes off listing names and faces and places that I don't know. "Do you remember when we would reorganized his desk?"
Yet they held some sort of meaning as Danielle begins to grin and chime in others. "YES! And he thought it was his lab mate! Do you remember when we replaced all his white printer paper with pink printer paper?"
"That was the best!! And didn't his lab mate take Chance out to the pub specifically so we could sneak in for that?"
"That's right! Oh hey!" The reminiscing quickly ended and Danielle began to rifle through her stacks of reports until she pulled out several sheets of paper. "Did you see these!" It was Carter's turn to join me in the land of confusion as we stared at Danielle who proudly displayed seven pieces of paper with in-color pokemon pictures printed upon them. he pulled out a pair of scissors and began to cut them out, "Printed these bad boys out last night!" I had no clue was to why Danielle spent so much time and money printing color pictures of pokemon, but whatever it was for, she was very,very proud of them.
"Um..." I started not sure on how to appropriately phrase my concern about her mental health.
Luckily I didn't have to continue as Carter picked up the thought, "Why do you have ...pokemon pictures?"
"You know, for the thing!" She set down her scissors and saw the evident confusion painted on our faces, "You don't know." she flatly replied.
We shook our heads affirming our ignorance on what ever this 'thing' was.
Sighing she picked up her scissors, "Okay, you know how a few months a go I hid comics around his office and lab?"
"That was you!?"Carter laughed.
"What!?" I grinned smelling that I was on the verge of something good.
"About three months ago I a started breaking into his lab with the help of one of his co-workers and began hiding random things about his place. Photographs of equipment, his college picture, and this last time comics. It's not just one or two but more like...20. And I hid them in slightly obvious places. For example he'll go to pick up a plate and they'll be one laying underneath it. Or he'll open a drawer and find it on top. Or," she snickers at this last one, "he'll be printing an article and find it taped to a page! And it's not like he brushes it off as he's worse than Carter! I mean people have walked in on him ransacking the lab looking for presents and just when he thinks found them all another one will turn up!" She starts to laugh, "And the best part is he's paranoid and interrogating his friend--" She cackles for a moment before continuing, "And all of his friends are in on it!"
"All of them?!" I asked in disbelief.
"All of them!" Danielle grinned, "For this last mission my friend, Amy, took him out to coffee, as he was her prime suspect, and while he was out we sneaked in and hid these comics everywhere! Now these comics I hid pertained to his life so perfectly at the time that it ate at him even more! He ended up posting a wanted sign on the door with a comic attached!" Her and Carter cracked up and they pulled up some of the comics online:

"That last one is my pride and joy." She beamed at the comic about PhD comics.
We giggled at this for a bit but my confusion and curiosity returned, "So...what does this have to do with a couple of Pokemon pictures?"
"These?" Danielle patted the partly cut out pokemon with a wicked grin, "Oh these are his next gift! He's found almost all the comics so next up is Pokemon! I'm going to cut out and hide these little guys around his lab when he's out for drinks Saturday. When he gets returns to the lab, the next day, he'll find a note on his keyboard that says "Gotta' Catch Them All!""
We burst out laughing at this but Danielle wasn't done! "I've got the 50 original pokemon here to hide and--", she cackled at her own mischievousness, "I'm going to hide Mew in the Doctor's office! So when Chance goes in for his meeting about his grant on Sunday and the Doctor moves... there will be Mew on the back wall behind his head!" We all burst out laughing at this knowing the Doctor would be on board with this 110% not to mention the look on Chances face as he tries not to flip out! Oh it was going to be beautiful!
However my time ended and I had to leave as Danielle and Carter were plotting and cutting up pokemon. As the weeks passed I forgot about the Pokemon and Chance until a while later during snack break...
"Danielle! Carter!" A college student with a wild look in his eyes burst through the door shouting for my colleagues and I about dropped my snack in surprise.
"Quit your yellin'!" Shouted Danielle as she walked over from the lab side to address the stranger.
Carter also appeared at this time. "What's going on?"
"I was wondering if the Doctor was here today as I need to talk to him about my grant." The stranger seemed to calm down at the sight of his friends yet there was something oddly family about him.
"He's out at the moment but should return in about 15 minutes--" Carter stopped as he stared at the stranger, "I think this is the first time you've been in our lab."
"I think you're right for once, Carter." Danielle chimed in, "You haven't been in here before, have you?"
The stranger shook his head and glanced around, "I guess I haven't."
"We need to give you the tour then!" Danielle smiled evily. Without moving she began to point the key exhibits of the tiny lab. "Over there are my mites," she pointed the to tub of blood sucking mites, "And there's Carter's desk--"
"Soon I shall take over Danielle's desk too and create the ultimate super desk!," Carter declared throwing himself upon the adjoining tables.
"Right...," Danielle rolled her eyes and finished by pointing to me, "And there's our high school student."
I stood up, finished my snack, and addressed the guest, "Hello!"
"HJ! I don't think you two have met before?" Carter asked.
I shook my head and extending a to meet the guest, "I'm HJ."
The stranger shook my hand stating, "Chance."
My eyes grew wide at this and a uncontrollable grin creeped onto my face as I remembered Danielle's story, "It's nice to meet you! I've heard a lot of things about you!" The stranger raised an eye brow and Carter and Danielle began to panic but I quickly continued, "All good things don't worry! You used to have a lab here, yes?"
Everyone relaxed at this. "I used to work over in the lab next door," Chance stated gesturing to the lab in question, "though it was before you joined the Doctor's group."
I nodded at this and Danielle quickly changed the subject, "What's been up with you Chance?"
"Too much." Chance pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "I have a meeting with the Doctor today and my last one didn't go so well."
"Oh?" Carter piped up.
"You'll never believe me but whoever has been breaking into my lab and leaving these weird photographs has struck again! They've littered my work space with, wait for it... Pokemon pictures!!"
"No!" Danielle exclaimed.
"That's awful!" Carter sympathized.
Chance shook his head and continued, "I think it's actually the Doctor as when I went to see him last there was one behind his head at our meeting! I just about lost it!"
"He would do something like that." Danielle huffed.
"And I've got another meeting with him now!" Chance complained stepping out the door, "I really hope there isn't another Mew this time!!"
We listened to his steps retreat, and then a shutting of a door down the hall. The three of us exchanged knowing glances before bursting out into laughter!

Heh, there's always someone else XD Poor, poor Chance. 
Well, so atleast the Doctor is more Chaotic Evil than just singling out a particular person.
I actually was just sitting there thinking what the odds are of this happening so frequently? Is this just what a college/research lab environment is like?
Stripping? Orangutangs? (I read it first as stripping orangutangs. My reaction was: okay. I suppose that could happen.) Did, ah, did this also take place at your work? Or is this just part of your weirdness magnetism?
Story reactions: Oh my god! Everyone is equally bad! No wait, I suppose Danielle takes the cake. But, oh god, I can't stop laughing! Poor guy! He's in a massive conspiracy and he just doesn't know. So, did he catch them all? Is Chance a pokemon acolyte now? Did Danielle ever get found out or is she still haunting him with paper cut outs relating to his life?

XDDDDD I'm so glad you liked it!! Everyone plays pranks on each other all the time. Danielle gets Cody, get Danielle, the Doctor pulls one on both of them. Cody is far from innocent too as he's done some outrageous pranks in his time! What goes around comes around and it never seems to leave house! ;)
I haven't heard about Chance sense but I like to think that he's now a pokemon master and I highly doubt they've stopped their pranks on him considering there was at least a dozen involved with them last that I heard.
I don't know how often this happens at other college/research labs as I've only even worked in the one but the one is enough for me! XD The crazy lab stories happen about once a month (interspersed with weird occurrences like the Not For Human Consumption Reese's Puffs). However weird stories in general happen at least once a week. Unfortunately there were no stripping orangutans but 
I wouldn't be surprised if that happened at some point! So my favorite stripping story (I've got others...) has got to be from my Freshman year Math class and I actually have that one written out so that's below. The Orangutan story is from my Physical Education (PE) class which is...it's... Fantastic! XDDD
Most of the weird stories are usually either from the Lab or from my PE class (specifically on game days) but I do have random occurrences other places. Sometimes it's just an eventful errand run or maybe I discovered I messed up as bad as Obama and the US post office...really depends on the day. I'm not really sure why these happen but you just learn to laugh along and enjoy the show as it unfolds. I'm pretty sure this sort of thing is out there for everyone you just need to keep your eyes and ears open for them.
------------
The Power of Smarties
So my freshmen year was a bit...odd. I attended a new high school where none of my friends were and I had skipped a year of math so I was already with a bunch of older kids in my math class as it was. Now this story takes place during my math class and it occurred over the course of a couple months as everything built up.
My math teacher, Mr. Nice, stuck me in an empty chair the back of the room. Now the way the room were set up rows of tables faced the white board at the front of the class room and I sat on the end of one of these tables. Next to me was this larger, muscular boy named Evan and next to him was a heavier set kid named Andrew.
Now for the first couple of weeks I just kept to myself and listened to their conversations about their girlfriends and teachers and classes and football. However as time wore on they quickly realized I knew the material for the class really well. They began looking at me silently while I worked, in response I started hiding my answers from their view.
After a week of this Evan finally leans over and asks, "Can I see your answers for the worksheet?"
I turned to look at him and while Andrew peered over his shoulder to watch. "For which problems?"
"Um...All of them?" Evan flashed a pleading smile while Andrew began to snicker.
"Well what are your answers?" I began to catch on what they were trying to pull.
"What are your answers?" Evan mischievously grinned back and Andrew began to laugh louder.
"Do you just want to copy my work?" I asked bluntly and slightly amused.
Andy stopped laughing and Evan's face lit up, "Y-Yes!"
I glared at them.
"P-please?" They pulled out the puppy dog eyes.
I sighed. These two loons wanted to just copy my answers because they didn't pay attention in class and thus didn't know how to do the work, on the flip side I did want someone to talk to... "I'll make a deal with you."
"How much do you want?" Evan pulled out his wallet then seeing nothing in it turned to Andrew and commanded, "Give the girl your money!"
"No! No!" I hurriedly corrected, "I'll teach you two how to get the answers and when you get them right I'll show you my answer."
They blinked at me for a minuted in disbelief, "Could you just give us your answers?"
"No unless you try the problems first."
They groaned at the prospect of having to do work but did relent as I was willing to work with these yahoos to help improve their grades and I was bored as all get out.
So began the teaching. I would ask them if they did their homework, or the class work, or any work to which their answer was always a proud "Nope!" It's not like they didn't know it. They were smart but they didn't listen and were unmotivated. So I ponder on this problem for a long time.
The answer came upon me during one class as I dug through my lunch box searching for something to eat. There, sitting in the bottom of my bag was the motivation I needed.
As Evan finally finished the first problem after 15 minutes he gave it to me to check it. Seeing how he got it right I reached into my lunch box and slid his paper back to him with a single Smartie next to the right answer.
Evan at the time had been blabbing to Andrew but quickly stopped at the sight of the small cylinder. Andrew seeing his friend's shift in attitude, followed his gaze to the tiny candy.
"W-What is that?" Evan asked looking at the purple circle.
"A Smartie." I shrugged.
"Why did he get a Smartie?" Andrew chimed in clearly jealous.
"Cause he got the right answer." I smiled wickedly.
Andy and Evan looked at each other, back at the candy, then back at each other.
Andy lunged to for the treat only as Evan snatched it out from under him screaming, "IT'S MINE!!!!" and popping it into his mouth, happily chomping upon it.
Andy then turned to me with the most pitiful face and whined, "Can I have a Smartie?" 
"If you get a problem right." I grinned back.
By this time Evan had finish his candy and was hungry for more, "So you mean to say that if we get an answer right...you'll give us a Smartie?"
"Yep!" I confirmed.
The two boys looked at each other and then hurriedly began finishing problems.
Well the Smarties becomes quite a thing with these two as time continued. The first week they finished all their homework, and happily ate all my Smarties. So the second week I dug through my Halloween stash and pulled out the candy I received. And as the pile of sweets I carried around grew, so did their reactions. For example this would happen after they got a problem right and received a treat:
"SARAH!" Evan shouted to a girl across the classroom, "SARAH! SSSAAARRRAAAHHH--"
"What!?" A girl whipped around (presumably 'Sarah') and glared at Evan.
The look on Evan's face could only be describe as the grin from a childish giddy joy, "Sarah! Guess-Guess what?!"
"What?!" Sarah look about ready to throw her shoe at him.
"I GOT A SMARTIE!!!!" He proudly trusted out his piece of candy towards her.
"Good job." She replied flatly, rolling her eyes and turning back around.
A few minutes later Andrew begins shouting. "SARAH!!! SARAH!!!!! SARAHSARAHSARAH--"
"What!?" Sarah turned around once again, the vein in her temple pulsing.
"GUESS WHO GOT A SMARTY!!" Andrew had a similar goofy grin on his face.
Sarah sighed, "Wh--"
"THIS GUY!!!!" Andrew screamed popping the candy into his mouth happily.
Sarah glared at the boys and slowly turned around.
A few minutes passed before Evan started up again, "Pst! PST! PSSSSSSSST!!!!"
And Andrew joined him, "PST!!!!! SARAH!!!!"
Sarah opted to ignore them.
"SARAH!!!"
"PST!!! SARAH!!!"
"SAAARRRAAAHHH!!!"
"PSSSSSSTTTTTT!!!"
"SARAHSARAHSARA--"
"WHAT?!" Sarah screamed, red faces shooting around to bore down upon them.
"Such attitude." Evan whispered to Andrew.
"I know! She really needs to take a chill pill." Andrew whispered back before they addressed the raging bull in unison.
"GUESS WH--"
"YOU GOT A SMARTIES!!! I KNOW--"
"Silly Sarah!" They shook their heads at this, "We didn't get a smarties."
A pause.
A snicker.
Red hot rage.
"WE GOT TWO SMARTIES!!" They high-fived eating the smarties they held.
Sarah made a rude gesture before turning around and ignoring the duo for the rest of the class.
Random things like this continued through the weeks. Sometimes they would fight over the candy.
"Evan doesn't get a smarties! I get a smarties!"
"Nooooo!! Andrew didn't do the problem. I did the problem, therefore I get his smarties too!! I get two smarties!!"
"That's not how it works!! Evan doesn't get any smarties now for saying that!"
It became a competition as they tried to work through the problems faster than the other. They would throw each other's papers so it would take them longer, they would brag about the sweets to anyone who would liste, they would try to steal each other's rewards, etc. And the whole time I sat back and giggled.
Mr. Nice never said anything as we were in the back of the class for a reason. Their grades were improving and mine were fine thus he ignored us. We were free to do whatever we pleased.
Our odd trio drew closer as the days grew warmer.
It was a fine summer monday, the previous weekend was boiling. The hot sun had pelted against the pavement and shorts and T-shirts were making their return from the depths of the closets.
We sat down, I got my Smarties ready, they pulled out their work and class began. However...that's when Andrew began to groan.
As the class continued, so did the groans and moans from him. Eventually Evan and I looked over at him to see what was the matter. There he sat, red as a lobster, fluffing his shirt, rubbing his skin, and visibly in discomfort.
"What's wrong with you?" Evan asked.
"You know how it was nice this weekend?" His voice trailed off as he shifted in his seat trying to get comfortable.
"Yeah..."
"Well...I went swimming," He looked at the table in shame and lowered his voice, "without parental supervision."
Evan blinked a few times before throwing his head back in a echoing laughter, "YOU IDIOT!! YOU GOT FRIED!!"
Andy's face flushed, which I didn't even know what was possible considering how sunburnt he was, "It's not funny!"
"You're just not sitting in the right seat!" Evan snorted.
"Did you bring aloe or lotion?" I chimed in.
"No..." he fluffed his shirt more, "And my clothes hurt!"
"This is TOO good!" Evan whipped his eyes. Tears of laughter.
"Shut up!" Andrew hit Evan with the back of his hand only to regret the decision moments later, as a fiery pain spread out form the sunburn.
Things quieted down after a bit and we got to working. Evan munching on candies, me doing the homework, and Andrew...trying to avoid the clothes that stuck to his body.
As we got going however Andrew's groans began again. He moaned. He groaned. He fidgeted and twisted.
"F*ck!" He silently cried, "I wanna take off my clothes!"
We stopped, turned, and stared at him.
"It hurts!", he cried holding his stomach, "I wanna take off my shirt!"
"Do it!" Evan encouraged.
Now it was Andrew and I's turn to stare at Evan. "What?"
"I said you should do it!" Evan repeated looking back at Andrew, dead serious.
I shook my head and returned to my homework but kept an ear on the conversation that unfolded.
"But I don't want to take off my shirt in the middle of class!" Andrew cried but stopped and thought for a moment, "Would you take off your shirt?"
Evan blinked and thought about the proposal, "I'll take off my shirt...if you take off yours."
"So you'll take off your shirt if I take off my shirt?," Andrew asked, "So I won't be the only one taking off my shirt?"
"I'll take off my shirt if you take off yours." Evan nodded.
"Awesome!"
There was a moment of silence as they stared at each other.
"...Why aren't you taking off your shirt?" Andrew asked.
"I thought you were taking off your's first!"
"I'm not taking off my shirt first!"
"Well, I'm certainly not taking mine off first!"
There was a another moment of silence as they stared at each other daring the other one to start the strip off. Then I could feel it. Their eyes slowly, in unison turning to fall upon me-- ignoring the whole ordeal and diligently working on math.
"Heeeey, HJ...." Evan grinned leaning in close.
"Yes?" I asked looking up at them and silently pleading for them to ask--
"Will you take off your shirt?" Andrew asked his tomato face in a begging smile.
"Uh......" Sh*t!
"Please! We'll do it too but we just need someone to start it!" Evan was not one for tactful persuasion.
I looked at them and blinked, gathering my thoughts, "You do realize that in this Society it is frowned upon for a female to take her shirt off in public...."
"You do realize that in this Society it is frowned upon for a fat man to take his shirt off in public!" Andrew threw back.
"Good point." I replied as I stared at Andrew, "Well, if I'm not going to take off my shirt and you aren't going to take off your's...."
In unison, Andrew and I turned to look upon Evan who was quietly sitting between us.
"Start us off Evan!" I smiled doubting he ever do so.
Evan sighed, pushed his chair back, reached down to the base of his shirt and began to remove his shirt calling out in the most seductive voice, "~Mister Nice! I know you want some of this! ~"
At this point I lost it! I threw my head down upon the table and began to laugh so hard my vocal cords could create sound and tears flowed from my eyes.
"~But can you handle this? I've seen the way you grade my papers!~"
"~Mr. Nice! Let me sharpen your pencil!~"
These calls continue for a solid minute before finally stopping. I never heard Mr. Nice--or for that matter any other soul--speak. It took me another couple minutes for me to catch my breath and sit back up . Only to see Evan and Andrew quietly working on their worksheets as though nothing ever happened.
Evan and Andrew then turned to look at me concern written upon their faces.
"I think I broke, HJ..." Evan's brow knitted.
"I think you did too..." Andrew agreed.
I whipped my eyes, leaned over to them and placed a handful of Smarties on each of their papers.

Other story reactions: Still laughing. Ahem. Those two guys sound amazing! (Andrew reminds me a bit of my brother. He's gotten sunburned as well when there was no parental guidance.) They deserved their smarties. 
Smarties and candy as rewards for doing math. That actually seems to reaffirm that humans can be trained via positive reinforcement just like animals. And it sounds like you make an amazing human trainer!
Above stuff: I don't think you can mess up as badly as Obama. (Never heard of what he actually did with the post office though). Other stripping stories... What is happening around you? Does your parents know? (I apologize)
Aside from that, yes, I continue to enjoy the heck out of these! Funny events and you are very very good at the storytelling. 
Lastly: please tell the orangutan story next!

It took a few minutes, but once Helen had set up a profile for herself, the two girls were able to dance and play for hours. Helen ended up smiling endlessly, and not once did her counterpart interrupt to ruin the moment. For a little while, she forgot all about her misery, her guilt, content to spend forever in her friends good company.
"Ah, I think that's going to be my last song." Helen told Catt with a yawn, sitting back on the ground. It had to very late by now and all of her muscles ached. "I don't think I've had that much fun in... well, years, really." She laughed softly.

He went out into the hall, then up to Hela's room. The moment the aroma from the cookies had hit his nostrils, he'd detected the faint scent of opium. A telltale ingredient in Helen's "HJ7" serum.
He'd simply wanted to double-check his hypothesis, which Alicia had more or less confirmed for him, given how adamant she'd been that Elise would never consider him attractive. He'd also endeavored to feed the Society's rumor mill--just for a bit of fun--with his knowingly false conjecture about Elise's supposed feelings for him. Instead, the joke had been on him, as Alicia's facial expressions had left no doubt in his mind that she considered him a creepy old man for even suggesting the possibility.
I don't understand it, he reflected. I don't look a day over thirty-two, I have reasonably symmetrical features--they even hew toward the golden mean!--Alicia's in her mid-twenties, I imagine Elise is around Elaina's age...
He sighed, at a bit of a loss. True, he hadn't been seriously interested in her--for a variety of reasons--but he'd be lying if he didn't own to his ego feeling a little bruised.
Hm. Perhaps future sensibilities are not as tolerant of perceived age gaps as this era's, he concluded.
Nevertheless, it had put him in a bit of a mood.
He didn't bother knocking on Hela's door. Instead, he simply slid the key in the lock, opened the door, entered, and locked it back, all while holding both the plate of cookies and the cane in his other hand.
Maybe it's because I'm a cripple... he thought sourly.

Hela had been laying on her side, her head propped up on her elbow as she watched Helen's kitten, Leo, bat around a small crumbled ball of parchment.
The door to Elaina's room was still open wide and the bookcase pushed aside, for when Elise returned to tell her how it went. It remained open as she scrambled to her feet, the sound of the door unlocking sending her heart racing.
'Damn it.' was the first thing that came to mind. 'I'msodead.' was a close second, as she spotted the cookies in his hand.
"Lewis... what a surprise..."
As if he sensed the approaching storm, Leo darted to his usual hiding place under the bed.
"This isn't a good time..." She backed towards the door, as if she could shield it from his view.

"It never i--"
He stopped short, staring at the open portal. Shock, then disgust, marred his features as he gripped the plate tightly.
"What. The bloody Hell. Is that--"
He ceased speaking, unable to form words for the moment. His rate of respiration increased, as did his heartbeat, as he fought to restrain his ire.
He took a breath, let it out, and pointedly placed the plate on Hela's desk with a resounding chank.

Hela swallowed back the lump forming in her throat. "T-That... would be a door... to... Elaina's room..." She replied, visibly flinching at the sound of the plate meeting wood. 
Without thinking, she stepped back from the enraged doctor and to the open doorway.

"I can bally well see that."
Another breath in, and out, as he tried to calm himself...and think of a plan.
"Look, just...get back over here, will you, Hela? It's a nice gesture, you having Elise bring me biscuits, and I don't mean to spoil it," he said, his tone weary but apologetic. "The door just threw me, is all, alright? It's been a long month..." He blinked rapidly, his eyes a little moister than usual, but kept a stiff upper lip. "C'mere," he said softly.

Hela hesitated, falling back on her habit of reaching for a weapon that wasn't there as she gave a small shake of her head. The absence of her usual blade still sent a shock of panic through her but she remained where she stood, her retreat halted for now.
"Y... You're doing it again..." Her voice trembled nearly as badly as her hands.

"I don't understand..." She shrank under his gaze and touched a hand to her chest. 
"How can y-you do that...?" 
Surely a heart wasn't meant to beat so fast... 
"You... c-change... s-so quickly..." 
It almost hurt, the way it pounded in her chest.
"I-I h-hate i-it..."

"I'm swallowing my anger for you, Hela. Because I can tell you're frightened. And, whether you choose to believe me or no, I do care for you. To have you afraid at this moment is not only impractical, but potentially deadly." He was genuinely worried, and it shone forth plainly on his face. "Do you know you've a heart condition? You need to lie down. Calm down," he said, his voice plaintive.
Elise entered...and fled.
When she ran, Weir was...not surprised, really, but...hurt. A little. If he was honest.

"L-Leave m-me a-alone..." She had seen how fast this man's emotions shift and his words were heard, but their meaning wasn't grasped. "G-Get a-away f-from m-me." She hissed and backed away. Just then, Elise's voice nearly caused her to jump out of her skin and Hela half turned, tensing to bolt from the newly perceived threat but caught only a glimpse of the blonde.
Dark spots speckled her vision. Her chest ached and somewhere, distantly, she could hear someone gasping for breath. 
In a sudden surge of fear, she tried to escape from the monster, the demon sitting at her desk and found herself sprawled on the floor a moment later, suddenly registering that the ragged breaths were coming from her. The panic following the realization only served to increase the pace of her desperate gasps for oxygen and every attempt to sit up was thwarted by the weakness in her limbs.

Lewis did the only thing he could think to do. He got up, pulled the chair to the side of the room farthest from Hela, turned it to face the wall, and sat down. His back was exposed to her. She couldn't see his face, his eyes. Nothing for her to fear, he hoped. He tried to seem as non-threatening as possible. He didn't so much as speak, as even the sound of his voice had appeared to heighten her anxiety rather than sooth her.
Please take a moment and calm down, Hela, he thought desperately. For your own sake...

But it looks like we've had little accident in the process. Do you need me to help clean that up?
Elise Hyde HenryRoseQuartz • 21 hours ago
Elaina smiled. “I got it!” she said, wiping the mess up. She hugged Helen, giggling. “It’s okay, calm down!”
Helen Jekyll Elise Hyde • 18 hours ago
Helen hesitated, her expression conflicted as she gazed at the mess she created. Then with a sigh and a droop of her head, she responded with a quiet, "Yes sir" and began to put her jacket back on. Once she finished buttoning it, she sat on the edge of Lewis's bed, burying her face in her hands.
What is wrong with me?
A gentle embrace and Elaina's bubbly voice distracted her from the thought.
"Oh, uh... I am calm..." She mumbled, blushing. "I'm fine... Really..."
Jekyll1886 Helen Jekyll • 18 hours ago
"Dr. Rose, you're a godsend," said Lewis with a smile. His stomach gurgled just then. "Apparently, my body agrees," he said with a faint laugh. "Pardon."
"Have another drink, and some food, and you'll feel better yet," he said to Helen. "And, you needn't call me 'sir'. 'Lewis' will do just fine."

Kito stood awkwardly in the corner watching everything. He sort stood off to the side on guard duty, in case this Hela decided to make an appearance or if anyone hurt anyone in here he would tear them apart. He sat off to the side, hungry yes, but he'd steal food from the kitchen later as he usually did. His senses where on alert.

"I'm an old hand at that," said Lewis to Helen. "Pass it here, and I'll pour for us all. In the meantime," he continued, looking to Rosy, "Dr. Rose is right. A little food never hurt. Nor water," he added, glancing at the pitcher on the counter. "Helps tame a hangover, at any rate," he advised.

"Here we are," he said, handing a glass to each person who wanted one.

Lewis sat on a flat, stone bench in the Society's garden, crutches to hand. Nearby was a well established Japanese wisteria plant in full bloom, its violet flowers perfuming the air with a vaguely grape-like scent. It was not quite two in the afternoon, the day after the aborted dinner at The Quenched Thirst. He and Hawley were to meet shortly, in order to settle their accounts. Weir wore his red waistcoat today, so that he'd be easy to spot. He had on gloves, but no coat. He'd chosen to wear dark trousers, just in case Griffin managed to reopen his wound again.

Griffin, checking his clock, realised that he was to meet Weir. But where? ((Pardon the pun)) Weir hadn't told him where to meet, or perhaps Griffin hadn't bothered to remember. 
Deciding to become invisible, just in case that Weir would turn hostile, Griffin took his wallet and a single ampule of his compound. After reaching the garden, Griffin saw Weir sitting on one of the stone benches. Right.
Griffin took a sip of the formula, and waited. After a few brief minutes, Griffin's hands, face; his entire body, gone. After undressing, Griffin fetched a two twenty pound notes from his wallet, and walked over to Lewis.

That's a barefaced lie, thought Lewis at Hawley's first statement. And not-so-subtle threat. Always something with this one, isn't there? Can't do anything graciously...
The notes fluttered to the bench and Weir's lap.
"Then we're done," remarked Lewis. Or, at least, I'm willing for us to be. The rest is up to Griffin...

Lewis gave a quickly-stifled cry.
Without warning, he dropped the crutches; his hands snaked out to grab the invisible man's leg, fingers digging in so hard they left bruises, and yanked it out from under him.
"Couldn't leave well enough alone, could you, Griffin?" he asked through gritted teeth. He tucked both of his attacker's knees into the bend of his right arm and held it close to his body, effectively immobilizing Hawley's legs. At the same time, Weir--still seated--brought his good foot down on Griffin's abdomen, the heel of his shoe striking his invisible assailant right in the solar plexus.

Weir's howl of pain quickly morphed into a cry of rage. He bit Griffin in the thigh as hard as he could, then spat the blood onto the invisible man in the largest spread possible, the red droplets hitting Hawley's torso, neck, and face.

"I'll do more 'n that, if you pull that s*** again!" snarled Weir, his accent hewing away from its typical, posh elocution and toward something more Edinburgher or Glaswegian. Blood painted his lips and stained his teeth, the color incongruously matching his perfectly tailored crimson waistcoat. The pupils of his eyes seemed to have dilated, or perhaps it was simply the dark look Lewis leveled at Griffin.

The taste of blood in his mouth took him back...to another time, another place, seemingly a lifetime ago.
His gaze settled on the tip of the spade. Beyond it, he knew, was Griffin. And the garden. He breathed in...and smelled wisteria.
He was here, not elsewhere. This wasn't a deadly situation. Didn't have to be, anyway, despite the iron tang on his tongue.
"Sod off, Griffin," said Weir, his tone and accent back to a semblance of normality. He tucked the notes in his pocket, picked up his crutches, and stood. "For once in your life, do the smart thing and get yourself to the infirmary before infection sets in," he advised, looking at the steady trickle of blood from Hawley's thigh.

" Oh pardon! My Apologies! "
Utterson shrunk back from Griffin and looked about the room. It was an absolute mess, just about every corner was in disarray. Guilt nestled itself in his chest. He was the cause of all this...
He started to clean up the room, picking up the toppled furniture and gathering stray books together. he spoke to Maijabi quietly.
" Dr. Maijabi, I must apologize for tonight. I hadn't thought this would end up this way. If it's any help, I can at least pay for a new door. "
He looked at the soiled rug.
" And maybe a new rug, depending on how my next case goes. It's the least I could do."

Utterson grew frustrated. He pointed a finger at Griffin.
" How was I supposed to know what it would do! I was living in a world of slamming doors and claw marks since last night! I saw it hanging over my bed on moment, then the next, GONE! "
" If I knew what it would, I would've just chose to suffer with my new found housemate instead of bring it here! God forbid I bring such misfortune on you folk. If I had a magic wand, this would all be fixed and everyone would be happily asleep. "
He rubbed his face.
" But now...Now we have to deal with the consequences. I'm willing to help clean up the mess, I'm WILLING to pay for a new door AND rug. But I am not going to apologize for what happened. It's a long night and we ought to make the best of it. "
