Who| Carlos and anyone
What| He's been a sad scientist lately, and a reclusive scientist, and an obsessive scientist. He is a scientist who is bad at remembering that he has friends, and he can do things with friends, and that the world does not revolve around memorizing a blueprint.
Where| The coffee place on the ground floor of the Tribute Center.
When| Late this week/possibly this weekend, any time you feel like finding him
Warnings/Notes| None so far.
I almost have it. I almost have it. Just a few more days, and I'll be able to recreate the blueprint completely accurately.
Carlos can't make an actual recording of his progress, since the Capitol would both confiscate his recording device and record him making the recording itself, but that doesn't mean he can't pretend to take voice notes in his head.
Steve, Tony, and Bruce have been a huge help. Steve especially. Between the three of us, I'm sure we can reverse-engineer this machine.
He sits at a small table, hair artistically mussed and one shoe half-untied, and sips a cup of coffee. The steam makes his glasses fog up, but he only seems to notice so much. That is, he is repeating a cycle of actions: he takes a sip, his glasses fog up. He wipes the lenses with the sleeve of his lab coat, and sips again. He does not seem to get agitated, nor does he seem to realize that he could avoid this by removing his glasses. He just repeats the motions again and again, too lost in thought to take any further action.
I'll be ready when I go to District 13. If I go to District 13.

"Ah, yes. The professor of I can't tell you right now but I definitely know what I'm talking about. Everybody gets an A, nobody knows why. That's science, bitch." He nods agreeably, pointing his finger at some drawn building with can accoutrements around the outside. "Why don't you take a seat inside?" He suggests, tapping his chalk on the ground outside the sketches.

On the other hand, Carlos really likes Dave and Terezi, and acting like he's too cool to play along here seems...mean-spirited. Spoilsport-y. And besides, it keeps the two of them from inquiring further about what he's been working on.
"I don't know. What jobs do you two have in this can city? Are you even going to school?"
