(This user has entered Computer Store) (IP = 222.154.16.71)
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 4:12:30 AM)
*So it was one of those not to big stores were people would go to either custom build their machines, or just buy parts to upgrade existing ones, and stuff that they didn't ahve in stock could be ordered. Melvin walked inside after finishing his smoke and looked arround, mumbling and grumbling some to himself*
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 4:14:25 AM)
Ada is perhaps an unusual choice to enter the store and might get some of the storehands talking amongst themselves as they see her, though something is a little off about her. Dressed reasonably plainly in a pair of flared jeans, grey sneakers and a baby pink tanktop, its not her choice of clothing but as she walks to look at things her intensity. It would seem ... that Ada does not blink. Ever.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 4:16:07 AM)
*He readjusted his sunglasses as he looked at a box and shook his head some* Damnit.. can't find... ah well have to keep looking *Though when the door entered he looked at Ada for a moment, trying to figure her out for a moment before he went back to go through boxes*
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 4:19:18 AM)
A slight touch of vanilla essence lingers within Ada's clothing and other light smells follow her as she moves through the store. Tilting her head as she nears the electronic section as she lowers to have a better look over the selection. That she even seems to understand what shes looking at might've been a computer store attendants wet dream ... other than her peculiarity.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 4:23:04 AM)
*He tilted his head some as he looked arround, and every now and then glanced towards Ada, something about her triggered his curiousity and he just moved towards the shelf where she was to look over things.. for the moment*
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 4:26:07 AM)
Moving to reach for a small cabinet, Ada moves to pull out a tray, pulling out small bags one after another. Different size transistors, capacitors, resistors and diodes. Reading their labels, still unblinking and slowly and surely a very small pile is being placed to one side selectively. Several store staff in the meantime have moved so they don't have a good view of what shes doing but a good view as a ... result of what shes doing.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 4:28:13 AM)
*He titled his head some more and then just decided to walk over to her* Hey uhm.. buidling your own PC or trying to freak out the nerdsm, because you lost a bet? *He sounded somewhat like he was joking and was actually smilin as he was talking to her*
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 4:30:13 AM)
A glance towards him, several small bags within her slender fingers, he might notice her nails are all trimmed, but yet that there are several which have grime, oil or other such things beneath them. "Repairs to existing componentry." Taking him in and now Melvin feels what its like to be under her gaze.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 4:31:41 AM)
Oh.. cool.. cool, what are you working on, if you don't mind me asking? *Still smiling somewhat*
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 4:35:35 AM)
"A radio array, a Spectrophotometer, the home network computer and my home phone." The last few seem rather amusingly plain after the second, which she manages to say without batting an eyelash.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 4:37:10 AM)
*Well he was blinking but it was rather not that much to be noticed as his eyes were hidden by thick shades* Okay.. that's not something you hear very often, but sure sounds interesting
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 4:37:47 AM)
"And you? Looking to do repairs of your own?" Curious now herself, or perhaps more wondering why he approached her.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 4:40:15 AM)
Nah just trying to find a dual socket motherboard and a set of hexacores *He nodded some* Just trying to set up a new game station I guess, and well to watch the occasional torrented movie
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 4:42:25 AM)
"You might want to look at the processing unit they have set up three past me and on the opposite isle. Its a reasonable price and will do everything you need." She ... didn't even walk there, let alone really look that way.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 4:44:12 AM)
Yeah I know.. *He chuckled and shook his head* Though I figured I might wanna point out that the guys at the counter are staring at you every time you get something from the bottom shelves *He grinned* That and it's rare to see girls in here, let alone ones that really know what they are doing
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 4:46:02 AM)
"I am becoming quite used to guys staring at me. Less so woman." Musing upon that for a moment before a light laugh. "Thank you for the enlightenment."
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 4:48:37 AM)
So this isn't the first time it has happened to you? *He was still smiling, a picked up a random set of whatever to take a look at it, though he didn't erally seemed to be interested in it at all*
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 4:50:53 AM)
"I have been told that if I look like I do that I should become used to the fact. Keep in mind it was a man that told me this ... so perhaps his words can be skewed or show bias." Still watching him and the way he's looking away, perhaps she is unsettling him? Trying to decide if she is the cause.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 4:53:08 AM)
*He smiled some and nodded* Well I guess that makes sense *he laughed* So what do you say, you seem to know alot abotu computers, probably mroe than I do.. wanna help me build my setup for my gamestation? I mean I could ask one of them, but I mean.. you look.. well you know.. more fun than those nerds
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 4:55:32 AM)
"They are more familiar with purely computers than I am. I am more ... versed in technology in general. I could help but their initial advice would be better than my own." She smiles softly. "I do not wish to lie to you about such things."
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 4:57:08 AM)
Nah that's fine.. I mean what's the worst thing to happen, that I have to change few stupid pieces again, but I atleast had fun putting it together *He nodded*
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 4:58:20 AM)
A small smile at him, glancing away and towards the staff for a moment, who make quick motions to appearing busy. "When are you wanting to do this?"
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 4:59:52 AM)
How about now? *He shrugged* I mean I came here with a list.. of things, but I am not to sure which power suply, if I go with a auto cooler case, or see if I can fidn a cermaic cooling system, and soem LED's, just to have it look extra awesome, if I ever decide to take it to LAN-parties
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:02:39 AM)
"Could I see the list?" Offering a hand to him, Ada really does have a sorta traditional model-like figure, tall, slender and feminine. Its just everything else that comes along with that which make her not quite fit that picture.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:03:07 AM)
Sure sure, if you can read my handwriting that is *And the list was handed*
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:03:21 AM)
(it's basically a list for a pc that would cost as much as a small car.. )
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:03:52 AM)
She moves to accept it, gazing down at the list and her eyes starting to widen a little more, no blinking, but it is a sign of surprise. -q- "You have the money to afford all of this?"
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:05:54 AM)
Yeah it's a bit of an investment but I calculated a bit, and it's cheaper to buy one computer that lasts for two maybe three years than buy one every year cause you can't play games and full detail anymore
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:09:07 AM)
"With this I would be worried if it didn't last you at least five or so years." Taking the list and then slowly walking the length of the store, her eyes looking first over each of the premade computers, seeing how close they might be.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:14:56 AM)
I am not sure... well five years would be awesome *he smiled* but yeah had to sell my old one when I moved down here from NY.. and well.. kinda sucks to not be able to play games with my buddies up there
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:16:19 AM)
"I have not done much of this gaming but I understand how that must be." Nodding to herself and then Melvin getting to watch as she moves one after another, rather systematically to lean down, get one system part after another, taking it to the counter, smiling at the attendee's and then go for the next. Melvin is likely their new best friend.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:17:13 AM)
*he tiletd his head some as he watched her* You have never been playing computer games?
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:17:55 AM)
"No. I have not done many things." Talking as she leans down to gather the motherboard. "I suppose that must sound terrible."
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:18:46 AM)
No nto at all *He nodded some* Could take you to a net cafe and see if they got starcraft 2 or something equally mindnumbing I could show ya
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:20:02 AM)
"I was at a cafe a few days earlier, I saw them doing many things but I did not know the name of any of them." Having gathered almost all of the system, shes getting him a power supply that errs on the side of caution and then some, incase he asks for more.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:24:48 AM)
*He smiled a bit* Well I am just trying to repay you for your kindness.. I mean.. not many people wout put up with me and stuff *he nodded* I mean.. atleast let me get you soem food afterwards.. or so
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:26:39 AM)
"Why would people not put up with you, you have not done anything untoward." Tilting her head and gazing at him curiously. "You have to choose a box for your computer, one that you're happy with, its asthetic, so who am I to choose for you?"
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:30:46 AM)
*He shrugged some* I was gonan go for this one *He pointed at one of the cases with an acryll seethrough door and an a temperature display on top
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:31:46 AM)
"Then that one it is." She moves to reach down, carefully moving to pull it out and revealing some of her lower back as her tanktop rides up before lifting, holding it gingerly before taking it to the desk.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:34:31 AM)
You could have let me carry it I mean.. I look liek a total ass for making someone like you do all the dirty work.. seriously.. *he frowned a bit* I mean..
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:35:20 AM)
A tilt of her head as she turns, shaking her head and looking his way for a moment. "Because I am a female? Forget about it."
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:36:06 AM)
Nope.. none of that sexist bullshit +he chuckled* Mostly because I could have done it myself
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:36:37 AM)
I mean I asked for your company and not for you to help me carry arround my stuff *he smiled brightly* but I am thankfull for your help, so.. what can I do to repay ya?
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:37:40 AM)
"You get to carry it all around soon enough, everytime you look to take it somewhere. Its not going to be very light." Smiling and then shrugging slightly. "Perhaps you could buy all those little bits I put aside? You'll barely notice them in the bill."
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:42:06 AM)
*He eyed the stuff and nodded* Well I guess I could do that yeah
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:42:52 AM)
"Thankyou..." A beautiful smile at him before moving over to gather the small collection of components and placing them upon the counter too.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:46:36 AM)
*He nodded to her and would place his credit card on the counter and then turned to her* Oh.. ahm.. would there be a possiblity of you telling me your name?
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:47:57 AM)
A small smile at that before nodding. "Mmm, Ada. And you are?"
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:50:18 AM)
Melvin *He nodded to her*
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:51:30 AM)
"A pleasure to make your acquantance Melvin."
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:51:54 AM)
Same here.. same here *He nodded once more* So ahm..
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:53:53 AM)
A tilt to her head, watching him intently, waiting upon his words. -q- "Yes?"
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:54:05 AM)
Why so formal? *He grinned*
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 5:54:48 AM)
"I ..." A slight frown before shaking her head. "Its how I was educated, bought up. I don't really know any different. Last night I had someone trying to teach me how to dance."
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 5:59:06 AM)
Well I guess we all can blame our parents for something *He smiled a bit* Well it's not bad, and yeah.. so *he checked his things* So.. one thing I forgot to ask.. and sorry if I don't remember to well.. but whats a spectrophotometer?
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 6:00:01 AM)
"It looks at light patterns and measuring changes within them. Umm, basically." A light smile as he actually gets the word out properly.
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 6:00:55 AM)
And you are using them to do what?
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 6:02:07 AM)
"Now, that would be telling?" A wink at him, the closest she has got to a blink since they met. "I have a lot of spare time in my life."
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 6:02:31 AM)
So it's a secret? *he titled his head somewhat*
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 6:03:34 AM)
"Not a secret, its just decidedly boring. And I don't want to make you think that I'm not as fascinating as you seem to think I might be."
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 6:04:41 AM)
Well that's just me trying to get into your pants *He said halfjokingly* No I am seriously curious as to what it is, though I doubt it's something you can use to calibrate laser pointers and what not
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 6:05:22 AM)
"Not particularly. I don't really know the answer to your question unfortunately, my step father is wanting it repaired and he didn't say why."
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 6:06:17 AM)
Ahh okay hm.. might have to look it up on google later ... once my net has been installed
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 6:07:57 AM)
She smiles at him, reaching for the small bag the staff have made for her, slipping it into her fingers and gazing his way. "Well ... I suppose ..."
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 6:12:36 AM)
Well I doubt you are going to show me.. or are you going to?
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 6:13:30 AM)
"Not for now. I don't even have it working right now." Laughing lightly and giving him a smile> "That might take some time. Plenty for you to enjoy games with your old friends."
Melvin Thatcher (Oct 20, 2010 6:17:36 AM)
*He smiled some and nodded to her* So you are suggesting I might see you again some time?
Ada Lovelace IV (Oct 20, 2010 6:18:21 AM)
"I have no idea. I think I would like to see what you think of your new system once you have had time to test it?"
