Sanctuary: Uncaged!

[special_weapon]

Ashley found Henry in his lab, working on his latest toy. The nap had done her a world of good. She dropped into his unoccupied desk chair and watch him work. "What'cha doing?"

"Working on this for you." He gave her a smile. Placing the plate over the workings, he fused it on and displayed her new 'toy'.
"It's an electro-pulse dispersal unit. It'll drop a ghoul faster than you can blink, and won't hurt them in the long run."

[special_weapon]

Ashley grinned and held out a hand, excited to have a new toy. "You made me a stun gun?"

[haptechie]

Henry huffed. "It's not a stun gun, Ash. It's an electro-pulse dispersal unit. It fires concentrated electrical pulses. You don't just walk up and 'zap' someone." He pouted a little.

[special_weapon]

Ashley looks a little crestfallen. "Sorry. so what does that do in english?"

[haptechie]

"I suppose this war could be over... for now."

The image of her in her tiny top and short shorts glaring at him while still shimmering blazed across his mind. It was a prank he was definitely keeping in the books as a possible 'next time'.

Clearing his throat, he eyed the lone nubbin in the cage at the end of the rage. "So... you ready to try this out?"

[special_weapon]

Ashley gave him a speculative look then shrugged to herself.
She returned her attention to the Nubbin. "Yeah. Double checking the low setting, and aiming and Test Fire One."

Ashley took a shooting stance and pulled the trigger. As advertised, there was a pulse of blue light that shot out from the end of the gun, impacting the Nubbin in the cage at the far end of the room.

(ooc: Leaving the reaction of the Nubbin to you as you wrote up the gun :D)

[haptechie]

Henry bit his lip as he waited for the first test fire. As the pulse hit the nubbin, he heard it screech in surprise, small body vibrating as its muscles were overloaded with information. That lasted for all of half a second before its eyes closed and it tipped over and slumped to the bottom of the cage, ear twitching.

(ooc - I'm not sure where you want to go with this, so if you need Henry to do something, feel free to let me know.)

[special_weapon]

Ashley's eyebrows shot up as she watched the Nubbin tip over. "Woah." She looked at Henry, impressed as all hell, and for confirmation that was the intended effect. "Damn."

(ooc: not sure either uhm uhm uhm, maybe they go to put the nubbin back and then they find something else has gotten loose? orrrrrr if we wanna go the Nubbins route, they go to check that it's alive? and then it escapes?)

[haptechie]

Henry moved ahead of Ashley to hit the elevator button down. "Let's get the furry piddler back in his cage before something else goes horribly, horribly wrong."

Turning to her, he held his shirt away from himself. "And next time we need to test a weapon, let's do it on something huge. And visible."

(ooc - Muahahaha.. good times. Also, I notice it most times, but sometimes I don't catch my Ashley sp. I dunno why, but when I type it, it usually comes out 'Ashely'. I have issues. I APOLOGIZE)

[special_weapon]

"Darn Right," Ashley agreed, stomping into the elevator and hitting the button on the other side.

Stupid nubbins, biting people and escaping and peeing on her. Sure they were kinda cute...in a vicious tribble-like way. But they were evil. She knew that now. Evil. She took a deep breath and sighed. At least her mother would never know and they wouldn't die.

Ashley frowned and sniffed again. there was that damn cologne again! Ashley sniffed at Henry, frowning.

(ooc bwaha sok! Soooo shes gonna think she smells the same kind of stuff she smelled before. it might be in her head because of the nubbin pee ;) )

[haptechie]

Henry saw Ashley sniffing the air, so he gave an experimental sniff as well. He smelled the tang of the nubbin, Ashley and something else. It was Ashley, but deeper. Thicker. Almost like when she was-...

Henry closed his eyes and banged his head back against the elevator. He swore he didn't have any of the spray on him, so why was she getting all hot and bothered? He looked over at the nubbin, still staring at him with those saucer-like eyes. His brain clicked. He looked down at his urine soaked shirt, then over to Ashley's, which was clinging in a very ni- STOP IT!

He groaned.

(ooc - buaha.. just don't have her blaming Henry for trying to slip her a nubbin. *snort*)

[special_weapon]

Ashley took a step closer and yeah, it wasn't quite the same but Henry's cologne did smell rather nice. And the shirt he was wearing was also really great.

"Hey, uh. did you spill your cologne in the wash or something?" She took another step closer.

(ooc: Lol she could askif he soaked her sheets in nubbin pee or something)

[haptechie]

"If anyone had ever bothered to ask the towel, it would have only picked on girl." Okay, this towel metaphor may be overplayed a bit, but it seemed to be working on finally getting them to communicate.

"Plus, the towel has its own issues and sometimes gets really, really furry. Some girls don't like furry towels."

(ooc - snark is highly underrated, as is banter)

[special_weapon]

"Okay I think we've reached the end of this metaphor." Ashley laughs. She looks at him curiously and wonders. And then remember the Nubbins and takes a step back.

"How do I know this isn't just the nubbins?"

[haptechie]

"Ash, come on. This has been since before they ever stepped foot.. paw.. whatever, inside Sanctuary. Besides, did a nubbin make you take the towel in the first place?"

Henry willed Ashley to finally get a clue and see him as a guy and not just 'the geeky non-male entity' she'd been niching him as since she'd started noticing guys. Cuz he definitely didn't see her as anything but female. A hot, dangerous female. The combination seemed to push his buttons.

(ooc - *facepaw* Damn my lack of being able to edit comments)

[special_weapon]

She doesn't know what made her grab it.

"N-no, but right now we're covered in it. You're gonna go up, take a shower and," she trails off shrugging. He'll change his mind.

(ooc: oh GOD I know I MISS EDITING SO MUCH)
