Birds of a Feather

[gadget]

(OCC, set on January 8th at night. Closed to Gadget and Linksano)

Gosh, she was tired. She was desperately trying not to go to sleep, she would have the dreams again. The dreams of Chip and Dale snarling at her, Monteray Jack shouting at her, Zipper biting her, all the people who she had put in jail were dragging her into a prison. The dreams arised from the feelings that she might never return to her home and they might think she had left them on purpose. She suddenly had the urge to start inventing.

Gadget was lonely.

She had seen the Nostalgia Critic and had asked if she could take a break off. He had allowed her, and she had mainly spent her time in the garage, using anything she could to construct inventions. She looked at her equipment, she was constructing a communicator, just in case there was a freak accident, which allowed her to talk to her friends.

"Hopeless. It's all hopeless" she suddenly began crying, not loudly, but silently, not bothering to wipe her tears away, she was on her own in a strange world.

She heard footsteps behind her and just started to look for somewhere to hide. There was nowhere, so she turned to face whoever it was.

[Dr. Linksano/Wayne Schlumper]

Linksano walked in going over his latest blueprints. He had decided to take a break from looking for a way to send everyone home as he hadn't come up with anything yet. He had decided to build some new weapons. He knew most of the army was still a bit inexperienced. He stopped seeing Gadget with some machinery around her. She looked like a mechanic or maybe an inventor. But she did look upset. He leaned down getting on his knees to not alarm her.

"Are you alright miss? I haven't seen you around here before." said Linksano.

[gadget]

Linkasno's voice reminded her like her father's friends. They had been scientists as well, and most of them seemed crazy but nice. Seeing the man's spiral glasses, she got the impression of nutty professor. Hearing his question, she wiped her eyes "I'm okay, just a little homesick." Hearing his second sentence she smiled "I haven't really interacted much. I've just spent my time ,tinkering around here . It's just ahobby". Quickly changing the subject, as she was sure he wasn't interested, she decided on a more formal greeting "I'm gadget, what's your name?"

[Dr. Linksano/Wayne Schlumper]

Dr. Linksano nodded with a frown. He hadn't thought much of his home. He'd been stranded here for months. Lord Vyce had destroyed his invention after his failure with Mechakara stranding him in this dimension. He'd been able to rebuild most of its functions but he had gotten distracted by rebuilding it. Plus he didn't really think his universe would be so welcoming of him anyway. He doubted they'd believe he'd turned good. He smiled at the mouse pulling himself from this thoughts.

"I understand that. Everyone here is a bit homesick. But we'll find a way to send everyone back. Even if we have to steal the device from the enemy." said Linksano.

He paused again as she introduced herself. So she was an inventor. It was nice to have another scientific mind around here. Nimue and Pollo were back at Linkara's house and Linkara well he was busy training or helping plan with the others.

"Hello Gadget. I'm Dr. Linksano, Linkara's chief scientist. I'm working for the army now. I came in here to design some new weapons. We already have four injured here including Nostalgia Critic. Our army's still pretty small right now. We can't risk losing anyone else." said Dr. Linksano.

[gadget]

Gadget raised an eyebrow at Linksano's name. It was rare that she heard a name like that, but seeing as she was named Gadget, it didn't really mean that she had the right to judge anyone by their name. "Nice to meet you Linknsano. It does help that I know one person, seeing as I'll probably be here for a while" She frowned at the mention of people injured. She had heard of the Nostalgia Critic as the leader of this army. That suprised her, she hadn't really known that this was going to be a real war. "I'm not really a fighter, so I haven't been out much. I'd probably hinder everyone else".

[Dr. Linksano/Wayne Schlumper]

"I'm not much of a fighter either. I usually relied on my inventions. A strong weapon or device that could help me win. But I've decided to join in the battle cause we have three talented fighters while the rest of us are barely surviving as it is. Hopefully that will change with more training." said Linksano.

He sighed glancing back at his blueprints. Hopefully this new laser gun would give everyone an edge. He was modeling it after the Blade Blasters the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers used. A laser gun that could turn into a sword would take care of long range and short range combat if one could use it correctly. He glanced back at Gadget.

"Well everyone can help out one way or another. So while you tinker do you make things? If you have any ideas I can always reproduce them to our size so we can use them." said Linksano.

[gadget]

Gadget thought back to all the inventions that she had in her head. There were several she had in mind, but most of them were just stupid idea's. Unless... She thought back to when she had heard about the war, she had made a couple of blueprints for guns. She had hidden them somewhere. "Well, I did have an idea for a gun I could use to defend myself. It;s here somewhere.." She dived under a huge amount of paper looking for the blueprint. At last she found it and pulled it out. "If i could make it for me first, I'd be happy to give you the idea for you to make it for the others. I'll just need some metal and I'll make it soon." Blushing slightly Gadget grinned at Linksano "It's nice to feel useful here"

[Dr. Linksano/Wayne Schlumper]

"Glad to help. Well I was working on a size device. I haven't really tested it yet." said Linksano.

He walked over to a box pulling out a weird ray gun. He glanced around looking for something to try it on and spotted a chair. He blasted it as it shrunk down to size. He smiled seeing it worked. He then switched the setting to enlarge as the chair grew. Unfortunately it kept growing pushing Linksano and the table backwards as it grew.

"Great. The enlarging setting needs some adjustments." said Linksano.

He turned his device back to shrink in an attempt to shrink it. It shrunk down to toy size as he picked it up.

"I wonder what went wrong. Well I'll fix it later. I hope that chair wasn't too important." said Linksano.

He shut off his ray gun looking back at Gaget, apologetically.

"Sorry about that. I guess until I get that thing fixed we'll have to do things the normal way. What kind of metals do you need?" asked Linksano.

[gadget]

Gadget jumped as Linsano blasted the chair. Seeing it grow made her smile, unfortunately when it grew it became too large, she stopped smiling. It was only when Linksano shrunk down the chair to toy size that she chuckled. "Do you mind if I have a look at that?" Taking the ray gun, she examined all the wires, eventually swapping two of them. "Try it now". When the scientist asked what she needed, she thought for a second. "Anything, get me anything that isn't too reactive or dangerous. I've got my tools so I can make it work." Gadget smiled her best winning smile at him.

[Dr. Linksano/Wayne Schlumper]

Linksano handed it to her as she fixed it. He smiled at her.

"Thanks Gadget. I can't believe I messed up the wiring." said Linksano.

He sighed glancing at the chair again setting it to grow. He then blasted the chair with his gun returning the chair to normal size as he smiled.

"Excellent. It worked." said Linksano.

He turned back to Gadget nodding.

"I do think I have some materials here." said Linksano.

He pressed a button.

"Nimue could you teleport my supplies down here. I left some aboard the ship." said Linksano.

A flash of white light deposted three boxes at his feet.

"Thank you." said Linksano, pocketing the device.

He pulled out a notebook having his supply list handy. He set it down on the counter.

"These are all the metals and equipment I have now. See anything you like and I can shrink it down or cut some up for you either way." said Linksano.

[gadget]

"Thanks, it's just something I could do. I mean, my father sorta raised me to know a lot about Engineering. His name was Geegaw, and my mother was apparently named Widget. Runs in the family." She quickly ticked off several of the items, and handed it back to Linksano. "So what about you? Where do you come from?"

[Dr. Linksano/Wayne Schlumper]

"Engineering? Impressive. A shame animals in this universe aren't as talented as that. Well the majority anyway. I'm sure there's some smart animals out there even if they're not well known." said Linksano.

He paused as she asked a question. He frowned a bit not sure how to answer it. He smiled weakly before deciding to tell her.

"Have you met Linkara by any chance? Well I'm him from an alternate universe. Only in my universe I became a mad scientist and until recently wanted to take over the world. I got sent here by a rip in time months ago. I fought against Linkara several times even teamed up with a few to get rid of him. But he offered me a job as his science adviser and access to his technology and the holodeck on his space ship instead of our feud. I decided to take him up on the offer and we've become friends. I joined the war to help out Linkara and to prove who was the best scientist." said Linksano.

He turned back to his work not sure what her answer would be. Most people would probably hate him, or try to kill him from his dimension. Even Linkara had threatened to send him to the dimension Lord Vyce was in if he ever went bad again. He wasn't sure if anyone could really befriend him here once they knew his back story.

[gadget]

Gadget frowned. She vaguely remembered seeing Linkara around the house as she had retreated to the garage. She had felt a sort of loner about him. She listened as Linksano had talked about his past. While she had often stopped Nimul from taking over the world, she could see this scientist was different "I've got a feeling that you will be the best." Gadget meant that.

[Dr. Linksano/Wayne Schlumper]

Linksano smiled glad she wasn't judging him for his past. He still wasn't sure if Linkara or his inner circle of allies and reviewers trusted him yet. But he would just have to prove them wrong by helping win this war.

"Thanks Gadget. I know I will. What about you? You got any friends back home?" asked Linksano.

[gadget]

(OCC, just wanted to finish this thread off, sorry for lateness)

Gadget grinned slightly. "A couple. I don't have a lot, I mean most people would consider me weird and what not. But the ones I have are worth everything to me. Chip, Dale, Monteray Jack and ZAipper. And I miss them all." She sighed, "Which is why I'd love to get home, not that your not nice bu..." She trailed off.
