Potions class
Valentine waited until what he'd judged was the last straggler to make their way in and shut the door. The dungeon classroom was, for the moment, brightly lit and students were paired up in front of cauldrons. There were a number of beanbags shoved off against one wall. "Why, hello," he said, waiting for whatever chatter was in the air to die

Having missed Toki deciding to huddle on the floor, Skwisgaar was left to wonder how the hell he'd turned invisible like that, as he could still hear him, mumbling about the freeze bugs or something, but couldn't see him at all. He was temporarily distracted from that oddity by the Shoggies' antics, which he found completely hilarious for some reason -- especially when they started babbling in other languages and making that funny piping sound they sometimes did.
"I thinks de childrens likes beings high," he said, chuckling. He just assumed if he could hear Toki's muttering, Toki should be able to hear him, too. He looked down when he felt something attach to his leg. "Heys dere, Shoggy! Whys you all melty? Likes de ice creams dat makes me sick..." Attempting to lean down to pet Shoggy 4.6, he misjudged and ended up hitting his forehead against the table, lost his balance and landed painfully on his ass. More bruises to add to his growing collection.
From there he noticed more people were on the beanbags now -- were Ofdensen and Nathan wrestling with each other over there? Kinky. The Baron was still there as well, and he might have gone over to visit had the Baron not had an entourage already. It was pointless if he'd have to share attention with others, of course. And besides, it looked like he was already over there, anyway... Weird. And why was the Baron flirting with a woman? Poor Jasper. Maybe he could have Ofdensen help Jasper with the inevitable divorce.
Suddenly remembering Shoggy 4.6, he patted over it to make sure he hadn't accidentally killed it or anything. "Yous not squished or nothings, ams you?" he asked, and as he started struggling to his feet, he finally saw what had happened to Toki. "Hey, yous not un-visibles," he said as he fell back onto his ass with a wince, then scooted closer to where Toki was and pulled on one of his arms. "Whats yous doing downs here? Ain'ts no bugs, just de floors all covereds with water. Wonder who spilleds it." His hallucinations were apparently very tame.

Toki could still hear Skwisgaar, although the Swede's voice was strangely distorted and seemed almost a physical presence, that manifest itself in variations of the weird geometric fractals spinning behind his eyelids. He looked up slightly and cracked open his eyes just in time to see Shoggy 4.6 attach itself to Skwisgaar's leg, all of its eyes immensely dialated. The Shoggy did sort of look like some sort of disgusting and seriously metal eyeball ice cream. The rest of Skwisgaar suddenly appeared, with Shoggy 4.6 sort of mushed beneath him.
Shoggy 4.6 definitely wasn't dead or anything, and getting a bit squished wasn't much of a problem for a naturally amorphous creature. It squelched out from under Skwisgaar (had he fallen? Was that how he suddenly appeared down on the floor so fast?), and oozed out over the floor, piping "Tekeli-li!" again before squishing back up into a less melty shape as Skwisgaar patted it. Shoggy 18 was still looking for its dimensions, and inquiring about them loudly to various people, while Shoggy 3 was still convinced that someone or something called "Yogzotot" who was apparently 'the Gate and the Key' was present. Shoggy 10 had managed to ooze up a wall, and was now clinging to the ceiling while reciting scraps of text from the Necronomicon. All in all, it did seem like they were having a great time, even Shoggy 4.6, who was now smushed up against Skwisgaar affectionately and mumbling disjointed nonsense about the stars being right for Swedish dildos.
Toki actually calmed down a little as he felt Skwisgaar pulling on his arm- it have him a concrete physical anchor to focus on while all the world seemed to be slipping away, and the strange patterns kept dancing in his vision. "I thoughts there was the freeze bugs," he mumbled, looking back at the floor as Skwisgaar mentioned it was covered with water. The suggestion worked on his brain to make him see the water too, and he poked at the floor, convinced that he could see the ripples moving around the place that he touched. "I don't knows. . .maybe the childrens spilleds it?" He finally glanced over at the beanbags, where Nathan and Ofdensen were acting really weird. "Coulds go over there. . .maybe it's not so wets." He shivered slightly, convinced that really cold water was soaking into his clothes. "If we stays here too long, we might gets frozen to the floors. . ." He looked rather horrified at this possibility, but didn't make any indication of moving yet. He wasn't entirely sure he'd be able to navigate without slipping on the floor and splitting his skull open.

Shoggy 4.6's mumbling about Swedish dildos was luckily lost in the general chaos and chatter going on around them, or Skwisgaar might have smacked it, obviously not aware of the context.
His hallucinations were believably complete, and he was convinced he could feel all the icy water soaking into his clothes as well. And, strangely, dripping on him from above as though it were raining. He squinted up at the ceiling, which eddied and swirled in random patterns as a multicoloured liquid was indeed falling from it.
"Looks up dere, it's rainings stuff likes rainbow Krambjörnarna pukes," he said, gesturing upward. Then he glanced at the floor again as he awkwardly got into a kneeling position, frowning and rubbing his sore ass. "At least it ain'ts piss..." The water-stuff seemed to be rising awfully fast, though. Worried that the Shoggy smushed against him might drown, he untucked the front of his shirt and stuffed Shoggy 4.6 inside, then re-tucked his shirt so it wouldn't slip out. It felt incredibly weird, and kind of ticklish, so he pushed the Shoggy around until it was closer to the neck of his shirt and able to peek out of it.
"Ja, let's goes overs dere. Don'ts looks so wet." Using the table for support, he managed to get back to his feet, only slipping a couple times. He reached down and took Toki by both arms, pulling him up too, and kept hold of him as he headed for the beanbags, which were by then looking a lot like lily pads floating in the water.

Toki was extremely suggestible at the moment, so looking up, he saw the same weird rainbow shit as Skwisgaar, and his colourful description of it as 'Krambjornarna pukes" which his mun found extremely hilarious after googling 'Krambjornarna'. His mun also doesn't know how to make the umlaut 'o' appear in LJ added an especially unsettling component to it. He wanted to get away from the disturbing rainbow stuff that seemed to sting when it hit, and was definitely collecting on the floor. Toki tried backing against the table away from it, but it didn't do any good.
Shoggy 4.6 had shifted from babbling the list of things it wanted to eat and began reciting passages of Cthonic gibberish it had read while stuck inside a vault for aeons, and it hadn't focused on the food topic long enough to start drooling acid. It didn't struggle at all, and stuck an eyeball and a couple psudopods out of the neck of his shirt, and wrapped the pair of little tentacles around his neck to hold on, babbling about how it felt all slippery followed by another string of unholy syllables.
Toki nodded his agreement to Skwisgaar- it looked like there'd be a lot less water on the beanbags. . .and was Skwisgaar over there already? He was confused for a moment, and didn't move until Skwisgaar pulled him up. Seriously weird. He could have sworn that he was across the room already, but, apparently he wasn't, and maybe it was just funny reflections of the nasty rainbow puke-water. He stumbled along after Skwisgaar towards the bean bags. Shoggy 3 and 18 were circling the room in opposite directions, piping their 'Tekeli-li!' sound randomly, but fell in behind the pair as they noticed them moving. Shoggy 10 was still on the ceiling, and looking like a mass of crazy eyeball-stalactites as it rambled more lines from the Necronomicon.
