Airey stood in the middle of his office, about two thirds of the way towards his desk from the door, and simply stared at the Ravenclaw as he sat in the professors seat and began to spin around. He found himself contemplating freaking out that HIS seat was now going to have a different, er, imprint on it and therefore ruin the years and years of perfecting his own personal comfort....or giving Mr. Scabior some advice on how to spin faster. The deciding factor came down to which was less likely to make the boy cry and, judging how his last outburst had gone, the answer was obvious.
"If you slip your shoes off and tuck your knees into your chest you can spin faster." Not that he did that recently or anything. Ahem.
And since he wasn't going to sit anywhere but his own seat...he stood by his desk with his left hand resting on he and leaning into it. Just being casual here, sort of.
GASP! "I will never give you detention for asking a legitimate question, Mr. Scabior," he chuckled. Especially not one that was a non-insulting one about Star Trek. He didn't still think he actually had a detention, did he? No matter, far more important parts of conversation to have now. STAR TREK. "In general, muggle science fiction makes all sorts of predictions about the future all the time, but very rare for the future to consciously look at science fiction and say 'LET'S DO THAT!' ... but with Star Trek, that's exactly what happened. Turning what was simply a useless prop into something real. Turning imagination and fantasy into a functioning reality." He was no longer leaning, by the way. Sort of too excited to since he was rocking back and forth on his heels while also bouncing. Ridiculous looking really. "Now, I don't expect you to know about muggle technology from a hundred years ago," he continued. Nor did he really expect the boy to know about muggle technology now either. Not everyone was so lucky to get to experience the wonder that was a muggle lifestyle after all. "But the very idea of a personal communication device, muggles refer to them as cell phones, came from Star Trek. Yes, there were precursors in development across the globe, but the flip-phone was inspired by the very device first seen on the show." Dr. Martin Cooper had even said so himself. Pretty big deal, you know? "Star Trek also invented the idea of a computer that was user-friendly and thus the first ever personal computer, the Altair 880, was named after a solar system from the Star Trek universe."
AND THIS WAS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG! This seat was sort of bouncy! Did Flamsteed know? Man, Kyroh would NEVER let go of such a bouncy seat if it was HIS choice. Kyroh even bounced a couple of times. SO COMFORTABLE! The first year did a quick spin before stopping after a single 360 just because the Professor was talking again. "REALLY?" He could go faster? It had a pretty good spin to FASTER YEAH!? The first year tugged off his shoes and threw them to the ground. DON'T WORRY SHOES HE'D COME BACK FOR YOU.
Kyroh just needed to go FASTER okay? Tucking his knees in quite easily (at least probably easier than a grown adult would-ahem- the first year wiggled his butt a bit, grabbed onto the desk and was OFFFF!!! "OPTIMAL SPINNNINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG POWERRRRR YEAAAHHH!" The world around him became a blur and there was no more office, no more tie collection no more Flamsteed, just COLOURS and they went by FAST TOO!!
Finally the chair began to slow down and the spaceman came back into focus. "....It's alright sir." Like he'd been in faster but NO BIG DEAL, YEAH? Also-"You can take a seat Professor." Like in that non spinning chair over there! Did he not want to sit?
He was ABOUT to spin again but then Flamsteed started speaking and it would be rude to continue speaking so instead Kyroh just enjoyed the seat and comfortably wiggled his butt a few times. "So i'll only get a dentition if I ask a illegitimate question? Alright!" He could handle that! No illegitimate questions....even though he didn't know what illegitimate questions were.
Er-the Star Trek talk was sort of hurting his brain. Kyroh knew what cell phones were he'd seen them before. Portable telephones. Computers too! He knew them. He'd even used a computer before but the idea that the show just invented something out of the blue that in turn became a real creation? "Were the creation of Star Trek Seers then? Because they like knew stuff." They had to be Seers right? They just had to be. "Do you like Star Trek because of that? The Altair 880? The solar system stuff?"
