Video || gross computer goo, why, turtle

[stagethreeclinger]

[ Roy's on a public console right now seeing as his is a little... predisposed. Which he's about to tell you about, settle in for a story, kiddies. ]

Okay, so, has anyone tried to take apart the consoles? Here's a handy warning to the wise: DON'T.

[ This is Roy's wide-eyed, semi-serious face (more serious than usual, at least). ]

There are some parts that might make sense from a mechanical standpoint, yeah, maybe, but mostly? It is filled with this nasty, creepy, goo and it floods out all over you and I might have screamed like a little girl.

[ Biting at his thumbnail here and he tilts his head to the side, looking a little freaked out because omfg what has just happened in his home, why is life on the turtle so weird. ]

Aaaaand now it's regrowing. This is some crazy sci fi shit and not in the hot aliens in latex kind of way. Like messed up Star Trek bordering on Alien kind of crap. If I start getting some kind of weird parasite or sickness or end up in a cocoon or wake up with an alien baby, tell Kori I super-like her. And build me a memorial.

But first get me a doctor.

How interesting. I'd considered making the attempt, but my familiarity with this level of technology isn't strong enough. Did you take any samples?

[stagethreeclinger]

Well, it's still all over my carpet, so I could? I'm not really the science-y type, just tech guy.

[traitorously]

Who's Kori? [Catty Turner, focussing on the important shit]

[stagethreeclinger]

Sort-of-girlfriend? Girl that lets me hug her on occasion but sometimes also threatens to decapitate me?

Roy...

[stagethreeclinger]

[ 8| it was not his fault. ] ...Yes'm?

[effective]

If you turn into something, I'll shoot you. [Katniss is being helpful no need to thank her]

[stagethreeclinger]

That's... That's real sweet of you, thanks, hon. [ omfg :| ]

[raptorcanaria]

Why, exactly, would you take apart the consoles in the first place?

[Other than being an impulsive idiot, which let's be honest she wouldn't rule out for any Harper.]

[stagethreeclinger]

For tinkering. [ grin ] I thought if I could take it apart and see how it fits together I might be able to figure out how it connects to the network, and maybe work up some portable consoles?

Buuut I'm fresh out of gross turtle goo so it might take a while longer.

[traumatizing]

Are you okay?

[why aren't you going to see a doctor you got sprayed with weird turtle goop]

video;

[stagethreeclinger]

[ omfg saying 'sprayed' makes this so much more traumatizing ]

Uh, well, no parasites or chest bursters yet, but it's only been a few hours.

[dustonmyfeet]

You screamed like a little girl because you got covered in goo?

[Helpful Toph is helpful. And kind of snickering at you. Sorry, man.]

Video

[stagethreeclinger]

Hey. It was very surprising, okay?

[ Rude, Toph! ]

[backwordscompatible]

["Super-Like"? Roy, what are you, twelve?]

You managed to get yourself to another console. I think you can manage the trip to a walk-in clinic.

[stagethreeclinger]

[ 8T MAYBE ]

Maybe I used my last strength to get here, huh? It's not like I have super telepathy or any useful kind of power, ya know.

[heartofgraces]

...A...are you alright?

[WHAT JUST HAPPENED.]

[stagethreeclinger]

I'll live. Probably. And if not I've got an adoptive father set up for my gross offspring, so.

[ SHRUG. ]

[video]

[bondsprofoundly]

I will tell Kori that you super-like her. [It's a man's dying wish and it's an easy one to grant.]

[video]

[stagethreeclinger]

You're a bro, man.

[andaway]

[These young superheroes nowadays back in Kal's days-]

Are you alright son? Do you need me to burn it down, or freeze it?

video;

[stagethreeclinger]

[ 8| omfg superdude you are so OP fjdkls ]

Uuuh, nah, man, I got it. I'm not great at unfreezing or un...burning my carpet afterwords, so I think I'm cool with just mopping or looking into steam cleaner rentals. But thanks for the offer! [ 8D It is actually p cool to have Superman asking to help tbh ]

[urbanmagic]

[That earns a small giggle from her, because okay his reaction was funny.] Noted. Good thing this techie mumbo-jumbo isn't my style.

You're not getting side-effects or anything, are you?

video;

[stagethreeclinger]

And I always thought this was a safer kind of life choice.

Not that I can tell, but I have already picked out an alien baby name, so at least I'm prepared.

[michaeljangelo]

What ever you do: don't panic.
Growing a shell when you've been exposed to toxic chemicals of unknown origin is totally normal, and only extremely painful.
I'll talk you through it.

[assuming that by this point Roy has actually seen Mike]

video;

[stagethreeclinger]

[ fjdksfksda omfg mike. And yeah, that assumption is cool :B

Just l-loling at that a little nervously. ]

If I'm growing a shell I better be getting all the other turtle parts because I will look hella weird as just some ginger kid with a massive turtle shell.

[ Laughter. And laughter and laughter and then-- ]

'EY! Where are you?! I wanna see, I wanna have a look, huh? Huh? Looks grossssss!

[ fjdksla gavroche. ]

Ah, the sweet days of youth - when gross things were super cool and prime material to stick in girls' hair. I'm not at my house at the moment, so sorry, you'll have to wait til I get back to take a peek.

[video]

[hackingyoursensors]

The kedan did suggest that the consoles were alive. Or alive-ish.

[Seriously AU!Roy does he need to put a leash on you or something.]

[video]

[stagethreeclinger]

[ He cannot be chained!! ]

Uh, well. Verified that for you guys. You're welcome.

[remake]

[ Oh how the tables have turned. FINALLY, PETER HAS THE WINNING DIGNITY HAND. ] Dude, I don't even know where to start.

[stagethreeclinger]

[ LMFAO GTFO PETER, NO1 LIEKS U, GO AWAY AND SEND BACK TOBEY ]

How about with a 'hey Roy thanks for taking that bullet for me so I wasn't the one that ended up covered in gross goo, you're a real pal'?
