...because everyone loves explosions

[slushy_science]

He didn't so much appear through a door or between steps as from a massive cloud of pink smoke and a shout of 'WEEEEHOOOO!' In fact, steps had nothing to do with it. He rolled out of the post-explosion haze and ended up on his backside, grinning up at the very new surroundings that looked nothing like the labs he'd been working in

Comments

[cristofano]

"...Huh."

It's just huh. There isn't any real emotional weight. Or lack of it. That was the most Zen huh ever breathed.

[slushy_science]

Even lets his head roll this way, then that before he yawns.

"You're a very mellow hallucination," he noted.

[cristofano]

"Not a hallucination." Chris says with a slow smile, "But I've heard mellow before. Once or twice. A day. Since I was twelve."

[slushy_science]

"I could say 'grooooovy' or something, but it always comes out seeming really silly when I try to say it," he admitted.

[softer_strength]

"OH!" Hinata managed to jump clear of the tumbling body easily...but that didn't mean she didn't worry! "Are...are you alright sir? You're very pink..."

[slushy_science]

He's a little blinky, but he still manages to give her a bright, pink-faced smile.

"And strawberry flavored!"

[softer_strength]

"...oh." she blinked. That...wasn't exactly the response she'd been expecting? Well, he wasn't bleeding at least! "Why are you f-flavored?" she'd take his word on it?

Licking strangers was rude.

[slushy_science]

"Because that's the drink flavor I was working with today. You'd be amazed at some of the stuff you can find in drink mixes. The chemistry is fascinating!"

[watching_things]

That is rather more interesting than any other method of entry seen so far.

At least, the small sphinx thinks so.

She is now focused on him, in case he decides to do other interesting things.

[slushy_science]

The young man, who is of average height, average weight, and long dirty-blond hair now made pink, glanced around at the shiny new hallucination he'd managed.

"Two parts coffee, one part hydrogen..." he muttered, for the next time.

[watching_things]

"What is hydrogen?"

He's not immediately threatening, so now he's getting sniffed.

[slushy_science]

He's not at all threatening. Even is probably what you would get if you looked up the opposite of threatening. His face might in fact be posted next to 'woobie' in the dictionary.

"At standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, nonmetallic, tasteless, highly flammable diatomic gas with the molecular formula H2. It makes up 75% of the universe's elemental mass, and the most common isotope of hydrogen is protium, or just one H, with a single proton and no neutrons."

Beat.

"It's what stars are made of."

[moment2bereal]

Jim is unimpressed by your pink explosions, Evan. He's standing over him, looking down, and holding a mop (it's the mop he came in with.)

"Uh-huh."

[slushy_science]

Well that's good. Even's explosion is much better.

"Hi!"

=.=

[moment2bereal]

"...Hey." Jim tilts the mop toward the doorway. "Having fun?"

Re: =.=

[slushy_science]

"Of course! Unstable chemicals are kind of the best thing ever."

[captainryan]

"They've been happening for a while, actually," Ryan says blandly, looking over at the man on the floor.

[slushy_science]

Boy, really. Human puppy is another good way to put it.

"Really? I just noticed. I should probably look up more often."

[captainryan]

Ryan hates dogs. Just putting that out there.

"There's some rather unnerving auditory ones in the pool area." If you can find it. Damn thing moves.

[slushy_science]

Even has two kittens. It's more the enthusiasm than any dog-like traits.

"There's a pool? Uh, that's probably not a good idea for a hallucination. Diving into the floor isn't fun and trust me I know and don't ask unless you want to know why I know cause it's kind of a story."
