It's no different from the Higgs boson being named after Peter Higgs and Satyendra Nath Bose. Higgs gets the honour because he wrote the first paper on it, regardless of how many people contributed to the theory. Really, you should be thankful I'm going with Waldinger instead of Enochian particle.
Agreed. There's really no reason why Parson has to be involved with this. Anyway, I'm crafting fake Facebook accounts to look like his sisters' old college classmates, and hopefully one of them takes the bait and allows me access to their private friend posts.
Enochian particle sounds like, RADICALLY pompous so i think u made the right choice regardless i wouldnt even wanna claim that but. U really think u could isolate it so we can do a lil replicate?
Ok but not all of them at once or theyll wise up and be like i'm bein facebook hacked! oh no! I was gonna do something like leave a rly good google review for one of their businesses and then privately fb message them all like hi yr home goods saved my life i cant meet u for coffee but lets be friends and rly play unhappy housewife newly found besties w them
I've devised a theoretical model of the particle's composition and interactions, based on my observations. All that remains is capturing one accurately so we can verify the theory. The scope of your cellular vision means that the Waldinger particles must be large enough to be seen with a microscope, and it's their ephemerality and rapid vibration which makes it difficult to fix an image without distortion artifacts. So. I have a long list of imaging methods to run through, one by one. And I can't do it without an assistant, since my illusions collapse when I see the particles myself.
Please. This is not my first time intruding into people's Facebook accounts. [...] What if they are just nice people, and Parson's happy with them?

I'm not quite sure how things will look after we do replicate them. But my theory is that I should be able to "attach" an illusion to the artificially created Waldinger particles, and the illusion should sustain itself without my supervision.
They're not wrong, are they? He isn't the same as he was before. It may be that the ultimate thing Parson needs is to ungraft Gavin's imprint from his brain, so he can return to normal.
Exactly. That's the ideal scenario. If we could build a device that continuously emits Waldinger particles, and then mass produce that device, we could have hundreds of my illusions going at once, all in different locations and serving different purposes.
I don't either. [...] You inherited both Parson's emulsification and Gavin's inertia control. Did you get anything else that seemed like Gavin, outside of the dream?
I have Some Ideas, depending on the devices we produce.
[...] I mean. I think a rly fast way to see Gavvy throw a temper tantrum if he is in there is "forget" to acknowledge the 28th. I [...] don't know what Parson wants. Do you want to do anything?
Give me your feature requests, then. I'm planning to ask Doc Yowell to dream these devices up.
You know how I feel about birthday parties. I'm quite willing to perform a social experiment and see if we can make Gavin-inside-Parson cry because he's not getting enough attention. [...] But I can also leave my evening free, if you want to say "Surprise!" and visit him before the day ends.
I'm thinkin like, something party favour related. Like a piece of a costume that gives a lot of opportunity for illusions in costume. We could do a Halloween party??
You don't hate our birthday parties. [...] I don't think we should ignore him all the way. What if he thinks we Let's plan to drag him out to dinner or something. Or at least drink a lil bit.
A Halloween party? Hmm. That would give us one month and change to prepare for it. Everyone needs a mask for Halloween, don't they?
Not nearly as fun as ignoring him for an entire day, but if you insist. If you get a cake, I'll make the arrangements for dinner. I feel like if the invitation comes from me, there's a good chance he'll still wonder if it's a mean prank or experiment.
You're in charge of event planning, then. This place is long overdue for real party.
I'll find some mind games to play with him, just for my entertainment. But I would rather he not be a brat and pull the friction out from under us. [...] Well. I suppose he can't actually do that.
yeah and i had to do that one too whatever did like ANY of u do without me.
well I want to play mind games too. [...] I don't know. Maybe he'd find a way to reach through the veil on his very special day and like, defy liminality.
I think people have hobbies? It's deeply unclear to me.
Alright. I have an idea. What if we get him a cake, but threaten to incinerate it if he doesn't rescue it quickly enough? He loves to be a hero, and we love to ruin his birthday cakes.
