[open] March Lab Mingle!

Who: OTA! Various lab staff will be around, but anyone is welcome to drop in.
What: The lab mingle for March.
Where: The lab
When: March 10 - April 9, after which a new mingle will go up!
Warnings: Nothing anticipated but individual toplevels will be tagged as necessary.

The Lab sits right around the clinic and shops on the west island and provides a laboratory workspace for the more scientifically inclined residents of Hadriel.

The original design of the lab is one large, open room; think of how an empty warehouse store might look, but at maybe half to a third of the size. The area is filled with tables, desks, chairs, and a whiteboard and chalkboard, wherein people have set up different stations and zones. The walls are full of shelves, many of which have been converted to cabinets over the years, that hold anything characters would like to populate them with.

In the center of the lab, a CRT monitor style supercomputer rests; it's been repaired a number of times, and despite looking clunky, it seems to still work and makes a horrible dial-up noise when turned on. It runs on it's own power source, a generator set up next to it that seems to run on some sort of magic and electrical source that keeps it chugging along. In addition, many of the stations house their own modifications; check the comments below to see specific changes and areas to the space itself.

Near the back, there are also a few, smaller rooms in the back: two supply closets and a slightly bigger closed-off kitchenette (it's got a Hadriel style microwave and fridge like the ones found in the apartments) and lounge space adapted from a side bedroom. There's a pull out couch that was dragged in there by the original creators as a god-given favor, so it does not match the other decor at all. There's also a staircase to the roof for... roof stuff, I don't know, whatever the hell you wanna do up there. Keep it PG-13, kids.

Additionally, there are some notable workspaces in the lab!

  • Alphys' workspace, a megadesk complete with accompanying chalkboard and portable metalworking table, is located in the center of the lab next to the supercomputer. When Alphys is around, there's also a portable heat lamp hooked up to the generator that's keeping her delicate reptilian blood warm!

  • Newt's workspace consists of two desks (one for dissecting monsters and one for various note storage), and he's been banished to the back corner on account of the smell. He sometimes has one or more of his pets living specimens with him (two salamanders, a mimic, and/or this snake/ibis thing).

  • DiMA's workspace is tucked away in the corner opposite Newt's workspace (being a robot, he doesn't mind the smell).

This is a mingle, so feel free to hop in with your own toplevels, even if you're not part of the lab staff. If you'd like to be, though, or want more details on the space, the projects, or the regulars, check out the lab comm at [community profile] underfunded.
