Extra: Pascal blinds you with science!



Pascal is so nerdy that merely touching him is considered a science activity.

Just a silly extra from playing around in Strangetown. It amazes me that Bella and Pascal have such crazy chemistry (maybe it's their similar interest in science, though Bella's interest seems to be in scientists more specifically). I think it's three bolts. If I don't watch them carefully, Bella doesn't waste any time before she makes a move.

I'm working on a short story right now, which popped into my head during a recent road trip. It's a darker sort of thing, much like The Black Widow, and I'm playing around with the style again, too, both with the defaults and the image format (going to try a widescreen look, since I have the monitor for it and all). Once I get that out of my system, I can move on to finishing the next update. It's probably about halfway done (maybe a little more), and the creative burst from this story should help me finish it off. I'm very happy to be having this burst of creative energy!

Bwahaaahaaa that's awesome. :D

I remember I had Pascal and Bella paired off once, long long ago, and they were the most adorable (and randy!) couple. :) They had cute kids too!

Hugs are very "scientific" !! :P

They are so cute :)

I can't stop giggling. Ah, nerd-bombshell lurve, it's a beautiful thing.

They are when Pascal is involved. XD

Bella has a thing for nerds. Not geeks, though. Real, honest to goodness science nerds. With huuuuuuge...

brains.

*shifty eyes*

I remember you mentioning that. I must admit it wasn't even something I would have thought of, but it makes a lot of sense, with Mortimer being so similar.

They only even ended up interacting in my game (and story) because I linked up the info from the official Bella interview where she mentions that she's been "seeing a therapist and my hypno-therapy sessions have been very productive!" and Pascal's bio says his hobby in his free time is psycho-therapy. They were meant to meet!

As for more than that, I do have some plans, but I can't promise they'll be of the happily ever after, married with kids variety. ;)

Awesome! <3
I had them together once too, they get along great. And with all the mystery behind Bella, she could be easily considered a scientific project, don you think!? rofl

I'm curious about your new project. Sounds very interesting.

Thanks. ^_^ And I agree... Pascal just LOVES a good mystery! He must find a logical explanation for everything. Heehee.

I'm glad I've piqued your interest. Not to jinx myself, but I'm getting thisclose to having it ready to post. Keep an eye out for it later today (tonight?), or maybe tommorrow.

*snickers*

Also, that's an interesting couple. I wouldn't have guessed they'd have any attraction at all. Does Bella have that romance perk that makes them get +1 bolt for everyone?

Then again, Mortimer is a serious nerd too, so...

I guess having sex with Pascal is pure science too! XD

i bet he blinded her with science ...bwahahahahaha

pascal/bella pairing .. coolness .. i love that !

*snicker* Oh Pascal :P

(I have a couple of very strong romance-knowledge relationships in my game too - they're not so different ;)

I think she does have that perk, but she was always fairly into Pascal, I think, even before FT.

I like that parallel. It makes the dynamic that much more interesting, doesn't it?

Heheh. He's always testing a new hypothesis? Very experimental! XD

Yeah, who'd have thought? (Actually... at least a handful of people, judging from the comments.)

It's a pretty new thing to me. I didn't think those aspirations had much time for each other, though the more I think about it the less that makes sense. Why wouldn't they? :D

[identity profile] meetme2theriver.livejournal.com 2010-07-30 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It does! Even without her memory, she knows what she likes in a man, I guess. :)

Looking forward to more.
