Rock walked into the Nexus, 'Caution: Mother Theresa Was A Better Liar Than This Guy.' still stamped on his forehead in blue ink. He had the ink on his hands too, were he had tried to rub it off his knees, which was why he was wearing jeans today.

"How do you get ink off of things? 'Cuz this stuff's not coming off!"

Quint looks older than he usually does. Rock's not the only one having an LOL run-in.

"Well, it depends on what the ink's on. Soap and water ought to get if off you, but I think you'll need glycerine to get if off your clothes."

[megadidit]

"I already tried soap and water on both me, the walls, and floor. It didn't work, just smeared it a bit." He didn't recognize Quint but felt like he should.

[pogo_boy]

"Wierd..." Quint frowns a bit. "Did the ink come from somewhere in the Nexus?"

[megadidit]

"Yeah, a talking stamp." He stopped a moment. "LOL ink?"

[pogo_boy]

Quint sighs. "It probably won't come off of anything until the LOL wears off. On the upside, maybe when it does it'll all just vanish."

"You're shorter than me. That's just... wrong somehow." He recalls Sakugarne from data storage and gives it a hug. The pogo stick hasn't changed, rendering Quint too tall to actually use it for now.

[megadidit]

"I hope it vanishes. I don't want to clean it up."

He blinked at Sakugarne. "..Quint? And..how is it wrong. It's just height."

[pogo_boy]

"It's not acting like a normal ink, so maybe it will disappear. LOLs are strange."

He sighed and nodded. "Uh huh. Another LOL. Bubble and Zero are worse."

"It's just wierd to be taller than you and Roll. And too big for Sakugarne. I don't like it."

[megadidit]

"Though, for a LOL it's not so bad."

"Oh? What happened to them?"

"It must be disorienting. I know it was last time I was LOL'd. At lest you're not squishy?"

[pogo_boy]

"The same thing. Zero found some candies, and they didn't seem to do anything to him, so he brought them back for the others. And I'd stopped by to see how everyone was doing."

"And the candies seemed ok, until eveyone went to sleep. But when we woke up..," Quint shrugs.

"I think the LOL made us look the ages we actually are, counting Gallery time, instead of whatever ages we were built to look like. Out of those of us that actually tried them it didn't do anything to Plant and Knight, because they actually look pretty close to how old they are. And Bubble looks a whole lot older now. And Zero... Um, well... Zero's only eight months old."

He sighs. "Yeah, at least we're not squishy. I don't want to change Zero's diapers."

[megadidit]

Rock facepalmed. "Oi..now that's a LOL."

"Are pictures being taken...there should be pictures taken. The closest thing we've ever had to baby pictures is when the stupid stuff we do when first activated gets caught on film." Rock grinned at the idea.

[pogo_boy]

Quint can't help a smile at that. "I'm sure there will be a lot of pictures. Zero's too small to take the cameras away from anyone."

"What makes it funnier is that there aren't any mental effects. Zero's not acting like an 8 month old human baby would. He just looks like one."

[megadidit]

"And he'll be easier to keep up with." Nod nod, grin grin.

"How's Zero taking it? Maybe he'll stop eating food from the Nexus after this." Though there were always other ways to get LOL'd.

[pogo_boy]

"Not very well. It's funny seeing an eight month old baby have a cussing fit, though."

"I think Bubble's doing worse. He's afraid he'll hit his head on something if he hops. I don't know if we should try to find him a wheelchair till wit wears off or what. I don't think he'd want that."

[megadidit]

"I bet."

"Maybe he shouldn't go anywhere that has ceiling. Stay in open spaces."

[pogo_boy]

"I think he's trying to. It's not as bad as some LOLs, I guess, but I still hope it wears off soon."

[megadidit]

Rock nodded. "Me too, don't want him to bump into anything."
