On the one hand, I love the idea of *Garamond working with a driven, difficult, unconventional scientist, but on the other hand it could be a terrible trainwreck! Because, see, the fic he's from is about his divorce, which has turned into attempted murder. I'll let *Mute explain:
"Oh come on, you just want [his wife] to be innocent because she's just the kind of future-y Earth career woman you want to be, and you want me to be wrong about her," said *Mute.
"No! Don't be ridiculous. I just --"
"Okay, look at this, though," said *Mute, showing *Hyun-ae the data on *Garamond's marital history. "Like, he has never married a woman who wasn't psycho. This one died in prison for murder. And this one here was killed while fleeing from law enforcement. She steered her ship right into a meteor."
"And this other one was a famous brain surgeon," said *Hyun-ae. "And this one here was a space explorer. She eventually became the first governor of Europa colony!"
"Uh, fine, I guess they weren't technically breaking the law, but that just goes to show that their priorities weren't on their husband or family," said *Mute. "I mean, most of them ended up divorcing him, clearly they were terrible wives."
So he's got this... type. It is awkward. Basically I would only be comfortable with this if blackswanseer is aware of and okay with the fact that this guy is going to be super obnoxious at Ilaria -- at the very least he will be argumentative and explain things at her that she probably already knows. So if that is at all an issue I don't think I should play him. (I really like Ilaria as a character, btw! Very driven people are always fun to play against, and I have a weakness for scientist characters anyway.)
The possibility of *Adriana having a different and deeper experience of the Scream intrigues me a lot! I think... probably, given her character, whether or not it was Obviously Bad News, she'd want to go investigate. Frankly, especially if it was Bad News. Let me put it this way: if this was a horror movie, she'd pick up on it -- and then go straight into the basement. So that would absolutely work! But I'd like a firmer idea of what exactly she "hears" in the Scream if I'm going to play her.
