The Toy That Would Not Die [Open, Silliness]

[i_sell_drugs]

"Wee-tah-kah-loo-loo..."

Howard was too young to catch the Furby craze in 1999, but he sure knows about them from Youtube videos of them being used in prank calls. What he didn't realize was that the off-switch was either impossible to find or non-existent. So it was with mild curiosity and, as is turns out, crushing naivete that he picked it up

Hana had only come to the Med Bay because he figured he'd be ending up here sooner or later so he'd best get at least somewhat familiar with the place.

He recognized the other teen as someone who'd yelled at him before but considering the amount of people who got into arguments with Hana that didn't seem like too much of a defining feature to him. He doesn't even think he ever caught the guys name during their little spat either.

Oh well, no time for that now, there's some sort of possessed fuzzball in the room.

"What is that thing doing here?"

"Ruining my life," Howard says bluntly, eyes focused on the now-mangled Furby on the floor, though he does register that Hana is that loud-mouth he got in argument with earlier.

"U-nye-noh-lah. U-nye-noh-lah. For my pleasure, cherry blossom," the clearly possessed Furby burbles. Its beak is now half-missing, making every word all the more upsetting. Its remaining eye rolls around in its head.

"Dude, did you do that to it? How many times have you thrown it?" Hana asked, more in a disbelieving tone than anything. Exactly how many hits had this demon dustbunny creature taken?

He took some steps closer to get a better look, pulling a face of disgusted horror as the broken mechanics continued to move.

"Dude, I set it on fire and it didn't do any good." Don't get too close, Hana, it reeks of burned plastic and HATE. "I drowned it and it didn't die."

The Furby chooses this moment to let out a high-pitched shriek.

[moms_temperment]

The teen gaped. "And it's still talking?! What is it made of? Possessed-tonium?" Hana couldn't even praise himself for that quip (for which he owed paying half-attention to a lesson of chemistry) as he was too busy jumping back in horror.

"What is wrong with that thing?!"

[i_sell_drugs]

"Satanicum with an demonide coating, probably." Howard smirks a bit, glad he's not the only one totally freaked out by this thing. "Don't touch it! That just makes it hit on people."

The Furby accompanies that remark with a cackle.

[moms_temperment]

The blonde boys lips curved upwards a little bit at Howards joke before hearing that last statement.

"Hit on...?" Hana's brain stopped functioning for a moment, brain refusing to process that comment, only to be kicked into gear again by that cackle.

"Right, this thing needs to die. Now."

[i_sell_drugs]

"In really gross ways, yeah. I'm glad you agree. So, you got ideas? I've set it on fire, drown it, thrown it, smashed it..."

"Dance! Dance!" Furby says, its ears moving in some approximation of rhythm, before shrieking again.

[moms_temperment]

"Let's see, fire, water, violence... Looks like we're nearly out of options." Hana frowned, brow furrowed in thought.

"Wait, isn't this thing electric? Maybe there's some way we can fry it?"

[i_sell_drugs]

Howard's face brightens up. "You mean like giving it a toaster bath? That might work!"

[moms_temperment]

"Great!" Hana said, grinning and turning to the other boy. "But er... How do we do that?" Despite it being his idea, Hana obviously assumed this boy would be the smarter one who would pull it off.

"You got any appliances? Most of the stuff around Stacy's organic. I can get a bucket of water easy." The one the Furby had previously been dunked in is still in the room.

[moms_temperment]

"Well, I think me and Cassandra bought some electrical stuff, but most of it runs on batteries or is those wind up stuff. You know, coz, we didn't know if this place had outlets." Or if the outlets would be gross looking and incompatible.

"But, you know, I think I know someone here who has these lightening powers. Would that work? From what I remember she like wrecking stuff."

[i_sell_drugs]

"I don't think batteries electrocute things, so yeah, get your Sparky friend and we'll see what we can do. Unless it's a Pikachu, for all we know those things'd start breeding together." And that's a terrifying prospect.

[moms_temperment]

Hana looked absolutely horrified at that idea and even took another few steps away from the possessed hairball. "N-No, she's just a normal chick. I'll er... Go get her." Now he just couldn't get that fear inducing image out of his head.

[i_sell_drugs]

"I didn't mean...oh, whatever. Who cares. Just go get someone to fry it."
