[oom: A long talk with her daughter was long overdue.]

Now that that's out of the way, Little Washuu can start thinking about getting back to work for real. She has a key to drop off, either with its owner or with Bar. She's also going to have one more meal before she goes back to neglecting herself for science. She'll eat then go back to the lab.

At least, that's the plan before she realizes her feet are stuck to the ground near the bar. "What the..." She looks up and sees the mistletoe. "Oh sure. Very funny. Well, 'tis the season." So for now there's a very grown-up scientist stuck to the floor. Little help?

"I didn't do anything, I did everything wrong." He can not blame a single thing, it is his fate: no matter how much he works, he comes short and the wrong way on his attempts.

Silly Ben, thinking he could escape the fucked-up-ness of his world...

The urge to slap him was rising; it probably wouldn't help, though.

"You're her friend, you're my friend. You did nothing wrong, and feeling bad about it doesn't do anyone good and it only does you harm." Her voice is very firm.

"Washuu, it happens all the time. No matter what I try, I end screwing it up in the end." And that seems to be some new law of nature.

"I said I was going to investigate that, and I will. I think there is something off about your world, and when I find out what it is, I'll make it leave you alone. Okay?"

"And what if it's not only my world, but it's me as well? The world is screwed up, I am screwed up." It makes sense to him.

"Not necessarily, not judging by my preliminary analysis." And anyway, the truth could be whatever Washuu decided it would be. What's the fun of being the Greatest if you can't use it for your own purposes from time to time?

Ben just sighs. He will believe when he does -not- screw up things in the end.

She sighs. "Look, I can't promise that things will get better, but I can tell you that you're a good man. That's rare enough, I assure you." She turns to bring up her console. "There's something I want you to have." A little thing like a cross between a doorbell and a garage door opening pops out of a dimensional hole. She examines it before handing it to Ben.

"It's a dimensional door opener; attach it to a door with this button, and that door will open into my lab. If you push the blue button, it'll take you to the Atrium. The green one will take you to the Terrariums, and the red one will take you to wherever I am at the time in the lab."

Ben looks over the object, and smiles a bit. "Thanks, Washuu. Hope you don't mind a random visit once in a while, then."
