[ it takes him a bit to clean up his current project and get the suit from sarah, but he dutifully zooms out to meet helena, looking to inspect her set up. ]
You know, it's kind of cheating. [ he grins beneath the visor as he walks toward her. ] You keep luring me out with all this mystery and danger...
[ but he's a good sport and she didn't kill him last time, right? this is fine and not at all a bad impulsive idea borne of needing a challenge and making a cool science friend.
ray starts the tedious task of pulling the exo of the suit off, top down. ]
I guess that means the testing went well last time?
( it's not a technicality but scientific accuracy )
The blast is designed to remove your short-term memory, in addition to briefly incapacitating you. Originally it was so that whatever you'd just seen you would know nothing about.
[ he squints, suspicious but hardly judgmental. ray's curious-- helena has only continued to spark his adventurous spirit. sometimes making bad uninformed choices works out, ok? ]
I'm just curious about where you picked up all of these skills. One inventor to another, you know?

From one curious mind to another. ( She grins ) This... is simply an experiment.
( Him or their task? )
no subject
You could say that about the entirety of Wonderland...
no subject
( To play with it, figure something out. Right? )
Unless you're just here for the danger.
( Wink wink )
no subject
[ which is to say yes. he could just ... ray just say yes you clod ]
So what's on the menu for today?
no subject
( she holds up the gun that he may remember from before, though not close enough for him to get too good of a look )
Though this time I may ask for you without armour.
( this isn't just an opportunity for him to strip... )

( and no one died! always a bonus )
This time the jolt should be less intense. ( and less painful by that ) Hopefully you'll just be unconscious for a while.
( ready? 3..2..1... pew pew )

ray says hello to the ground again. oww. ]

Oww...
[ ray starts to sit up, rubbing at the back of his head. ]
Less intense. Still hurts.
no subject
( and a lot of it. helena will, however, offer a hand to help him up )
The real question is-- what's the last thing that you remember?
no subject
[ he sighs and realizes that laying down is better so he
does that ]
I remember you being cagey about your other experiments.
no subject
And after that?
( they'd talked a little after but not much )
no subject
[ also: ] Are my toes supposed to be numb?

( she turns, putting her gun back on the table )
Though I am glad to see that it had the desired effect.

no subject
[ he grins. ]
I like your style. How's it work?
no subject
( SCIENCE. except with a few missing details, because she's not giving away potentially dangerous secrets )
no subject
but ray smirks, lopsided, almost as if he'd meant to frown but found it amusing. ]
You're not telling me everything.
no subject
( at least he can pick up on that )
Surely you have your own secrets?
no subject
