um also do you know The Elements by Tom Lehrer? (the elements of the periodic table listed to the tune of Model of a Modern Major-General i believe)

Chemist shakes his head, but takes the note to save for later. He has some music to try and "listen" to when he works. And that's if he can get the lyrics somehow.

[meetthechemist]

what is your favorite chemical on the periodic table . i will also accept compounds

Chemist chuckles silently and picks up his cat. The feline climbs on his shoulder and looks around with her one eye.

"Considering I named my cat HCl, I believe that answers that question," Chemist signs.

What is your native language, if not english?

(To admin: are you okay with other tf2 rp blogs interacting with this one?)

"My native language is German and I know both DGS and ASL," Chemist signs. "I am still working on reading English, which is what the Heavy Weapons Guy is helping with."

(I am always free for other TF2 RP blogs to interact. I just need to be more active over here)

[meetthechemist]

What mercs woudld you say youre the closest to?

(ps admin i love your artstyle!)

Chemist thought for a moment, then took his journal out and wrote down the team's names. With the visual, he could give a more accurate answer.

"I am closest to the Heavy Weapons Guy and the Engineer. I see the Engineer as similar to my older brother with how he works. The Heavy Weapons Guy is a good fighter and is helping me learn how to read English. I am way behind his skill though," he signs.

Entry #6 (Translated from German)

'I was talking to the Engineer today and he said that he can give my weapon an upgrade. I do not know what that entails, but he has my gun for the time being. He is very nice and plays the guitar. His kindness reminds me of my older brother. I hope he and my family are alright.

I also started talking to the other people working here. I am fond of those willing to learn sign language for me, though some need improvement. That Boston boy, called the Scout, especially requires more practice with his peers.

I have not seen the one called Sniper much. They tell me not to worry about him as he is a loner like the Spy. Big man with minigun is fine as well, learned the most sign language than others.

Grocery List:

Mercury

Cadmium

Arsenic

Phosgene

Toluene

Cat toy/catnip (HCl's adoption day present)'

I'm sorry that you apparently felt "tortured" by my behavior. I personally love experimental research chemicals and would enjoy being force fed them while locked in a windowless cell but I can see how someone with a less positive additude might not enjoy that. Anyway sorry I guess. I hope you can get over your close mindedness since it's clearly a source of pain in your life.

(OOC: From my main account)

Updated Chemist's Relationships with the other Mercenaries.

From closest to weariest

Original Post (OLD)

Engineer - Chemist's closest friend/brother figure. He was the first to show Chemist around the base and help him get settled. Also made him a modified pager so they can communicate. Chemist goes to him when he gets lonely, just sitting in his work shop while he tinkers. He was the first person to see him without his mask.

Heavy - A close friend, maybe even a mentor. He helped Chemist on his first day on the field by pointing where to go. He's also helping Chemist learn how to read English, they're study partners. Heavy treats him like one of his little sisters at times.

Sniper - Chemist is alright with him. They've saved each other too many times in battle to count. Sniper will let him tag along when he's going out on a hike for the weekend. He's the second person to see him without his mask, which happened during battlefield.

Soldier - He helps bring chemical shipments to Chemist's room, and Chemist helps him catch his raccoons. Soldier also likes to play with his cat, HCl, because he thinks it's funny when she bites his finger.

Demoman - They share chemicals with one another sometimes. Demo also likes to compare chemical combinations with Chemist so he can make his bombs stronger and more powerful.

Medic - Chemist isn't sure about Medic, so he's in the middle. Medic kinda creeps him out and he keeps asking Chemist for dangerous chemicals for experiments. Chemist says no, but that doesn't stop Medic from raiding his room when he's out.

Scout - He's like an annoying little brother. Scout is trying to learn sign language for him, but fails at long sentences. HCl keeps hissing at him when he comes near because he pets her too hard.

Pyro - Same with Medic, only bumped lower by how unpredictable they are. Lower than Scout because Pyro can, and will, burn him down if they don't like him. Thankfully, he's safe. For now...

Spy - He's been trying to see Chemist's face so he can do a background check and find out about his past. This snooping usually results in Spy taking a trip to Medic's office. Chemist has his eye on both Spies now.

Hello. The following is a message from the Teufort Census Bureau.

How would you rate your current employment?

Thank you for your co-operation.

@tf2-data-collection-agency

Chemist reads the sheet of paper, then grabs a blank sheet from his desk. He writes down his answer and hands it to the delivery man, though his English isn't very good yet.

"Rate: 3/5. Is fine, just tiring. Do not like some people, but not too annoying."

[meetthechemist]

“Hey scout dumped a bunch of random cleaning supplies in one of the toilets. Think he made mustard gas, or something. I already blocked the door.”

-💥🥊

Chemist looked at the note and pinched the bridge of his nose. He picked up some gloves, his own chemicals, and a plunger.

"I'll be back," he signs tiredly before walking to the bathroom.

Entry #5 (Translated from German)

'HCl caught a mouse in the laboratory. Despite having three legs, she is an ample hunter. I do hope that the man with the oversized helmet does not ask for her again. He pets her too hard.

* Don't misplace my journal

What to get:

- More cat food

- Cat litter

- Sodium chloride'

[meetthechemist]

I feel like you did this :(

(Act like this is canonically accurate)

Chemist stared at the gaming device and furrowed his eyebrows. What is that? It looks damaged by his acid pellet. He should apologize if he did destroy it.

"Some of my chemicals must have fallen on it when I was not looking. I apologize for that. I'll buy you another... whatever it is," He signed.

Entry #4 (Translated from German)

'A few days ago was the event called "Halloween", and a lot of things happened. This man who called himself "Merasmus" came and changed everything. We fought him and then everything went back to normal. I almost got hit by lightning twice during that time. Somehow, I am alive.'

[meetthechemist]

Rest my chemistry sounds like it'd be a song you'd like! Get it because uh...uh..yeah! Get it- - ferret anon

Chemist stared at the ask for a moment before shrugging. He can't exactly listen to music, being deaf and all, but he'll try to feel the beat when he gets a turn on the aux next karaoke night.

[meetthechemist]

“Good day to you, friend,” A short, scruffy looking man signed to The Chemist. He wore a lab coat and red gloves like The Medic, but the atom emblem on the shoulder on his coat suggested he wasn’t a medic at all. “My title is The Scientist, but my real name is Oliver.” He smiled. “We’ll be working closely together, I think! So, I look forward to it, lab partner. Medic said you were a fine chap; perhaps we should have tea sometime!”

The Chemist nodded and waved at the Scientist. But who was talking about him already? Was it that Boston boy? At least he has someone working in a similar field to him that wasn't drinking around dangerous chemicals.

[meetthechemist]

Chemist shook his head. Despite both he and Medic being German, something about the taller man rubbed him the wrong way. Maybe it was the unnerving smile he gave him in passing. But if he was good with animals, it wouldn't hurt to get his help.

"I have not. I will take my cat to him when I am free," He signed, "it was nice to meet you, Spy, but I must get back to my laboratory to perfect my work".

Greetings!

I do hope the Administrator this year allows you to work with us. You seem to pack quite the punch.

It would be a pleasure to get to know you.

Chemist stared at the Red Spy, reading his lips the best he could. Something about work and punching. Despite his distrust in the man, he tried to make conversation.

"It is nice to meet you. I hope our time together will be fulfilling," he signed.

[meetthechemist]

Chemist nodded and pointed to his assigned room, as well as the laboratory connected to it.

"A Miss Pauling showed me, but I have not been outside of my room yet. My cat has been sick, so I have been stuck tending to her health," Chemist explained. Behind the door, a feline could be heard meowing and scratching at the door.

Greetings!

[meetthechemist]

Chemist thankfully took the smile as welcoming. Though he couldn't reciprocate the smile thanks to his mask, he nodded to acknowledge it.

"I am The Chemist. You can call me Chemist," he mirrored a bit. It felt strange to be having a full conversation with someone. Usually they would excuse themselves after seeing his scarred eye.
