"H-Husk...t-top...w-ork...room?" Reemus read aloud, squinting, taking a moment to process what Voscil was so excited about "...Oh. Ohhhh!" He followed in after. The tyke was nowhere near a tech afficienado, but he did love shiny new things all right. And they were all NEW. Super shiny. Almost blindingly so. Nothing broken or worn out or dented from getting smacked. "I wonder what ya do with 'em!" He said, typing on the keyboard and clicking around without a care. Well, until it bleeped. Must've done something to make it mad. "Well, there's a lotta letters n' those make words n' I ain't good at that," he shrugged before moving to another part of the room to check it out.

"This whole PLACE is cool, mate, I just haven't found the COOLIEST of 'em."

Leeroi is exploring the Campus Grounds!
Leeroi found the Biology Lab!

Leeroi felt the club connect with his chin and all he could hear was a string of curses. Was that coming from the indigoblood, or was he just thinking it? He settled for both. He fell to the ground, hearing another thwack as he hit the cold floor. He laid facedown on the floor and fell silent, Glitch moving quickly to scoop up the boy. She offered an apologetic scream to Tamiya before charging her way out of the room and back onto the campus grounds.

Swaying with Glitch's movements, Leeroi felt more dizzy than ever. His head rang, streaming more expletives at him. He reached a hand up to soothe the pain, palm falling on his sniffnode. He felt a painful sensation and he withdrew his hand with a groan. He blinked, vision blurred with colorful spots. His hand came into view, covered in his blood.

Growling, he wiped the blood on his lusus' fur. He reached for his jaw and Glitch screamed, telling him not to touch it. He ignored her, feeling out the damage. He licked around the inside of his mouth, feeling the empty, bleeding nubs where his teeth used to be. ********, he had to get those back. Curious, he stuck his tongue in one of the now-empty gums.

Yep, that hurt just as much as he thought it was going to. He whined and Glitch became frantic, searching for the nearest place that might have some medical equipment. A biology lab, perfect! She made a mad dash for it.

"Well for one, you can play games on them!" She replied to him quickly when he asked about what you can do with the technology. Gesturing to the computer she'd stopped by the kid leaned in squinting at the screen. A game of kids adventure and learning how to type was still on pause. Voscil leaned over to the keyboard, stretching her fingers a bit as she hit resume. Hastily smashing her fingers over the keys trying to match the letters in time with key strokes she groaned in frustration at a few misses. All in all it was a bit of silly fun.

"I dunno, do you think this place can get any cooler?" She turned to look at Reemus, re-pausing the game with a considering look on her face as she joined his side playfully prodding a digit at his arm with a curious tilt of her head wondering what he considered cool.

Gl!tch~.

 

[Gl!tch~]

"You CAN?" Reemus looked over at the husktop Vos was looking at too. "How? I wanna play!" He turned to see if one of the pieces of tech he was at could do the same thing. Moving this one piece of equipment moved something on the screen...and then clicking on stuff made things happen... Oooooh... Enraptured, he started turning when he heard Voscil speak up again, then jumped feeling her touch him. He had zoned out so much that he hadn't caught the little girl come his way! "Y'need to start wearin' bells 'r somethin' mate." He wheezed with a small smile before composing himself. Moving on!

Reemus plodded about the room further. "I dunno," he parroted the other yellowblood. "Depends." One wall of the room had a large blue rectangle glowing on it. And when he passed through, a projector beam blinded him while also throwing his shadow behind him. He circumvented around to where the projector was wired up. Another one of those husktops. "Hmmmm..." He tapped one of the keys, prompting the screen to light up. In unison, so did the once-blue wall. Now it was the same as the husktop! "WHOA! Lookit this, Vos! It's like...y'can make what's on THERE be out HERE or somethin'!"

A fine mist of blue had shot out of the kid, much like a putrid backwash of soda accompanied by the loss of a few teeth. It wasn't enough. Apparently, he was fine - but the lusus was already charging away with her worthless brat in tow. Tamiya heaved, her fingers clenched in a death grip around her bloodstained weapon. Visions of death danced before her, and she was about to race after the lusus -- if not for the cry of her name and the familiar placating sound of jingling bells.

The bells. Tamiya straightened. Her eyes were bloodshot with rage, and when Sinter initially rushed between her and the fleeing lusus she wanted nothing more than to run right through him. She knew best. This child would have to cease existing immediately. He would understand.

But no - Sinter was not merely saying she was wrong. He didn't oppose her. Tamiya's eyes softened as Sinter explained his reasoning. A stray hand teased over the form of her weapon and she yanked out a tooth that had become buried in the pliable wood of the kiseru. Her gaze cast down now, and the sounds and sights of the lab came back to her in gauzy focus. Sinter was right, as much as she. There as more important business than stifling a brat whose comeuppance would occur soon with his heretic attitude. She was here on a mission, and he was clearly an agent sent to distract her from it. Her moirail was fate-sent.

His tone was soothing. It was the opposite wavelength of Tamiya's. Finally, she was soothed.

With a long heave, Tamiya pressed her fingers into the sides of the bridge of her nose. She looked around momentarily as though to gauge who was watching (not that she cared - this was business, after all) and replaced her weapon on her hip. "You are correct." She stated simply. Tamiya's muscles relaxed and she stepped towards him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Let me see those. And then we will leave this unholy place."

"You sure can!" She waved him over, as she slid back over to the husktop and pointed out the letters on the screen, and then typed them on the keyboard in relation to the game. "Everythings different but this one's pretty simple." Voscil nodded to the other yellowblood, moving aside to let him try if he wanted.

Realizing he'd moved over to what looked like a projector, she abandoned the game in favor of waving her hands in front of the projector making a rabbit with her hand casting a shadow on the wall. "Yeah! I've heard of those before that's pretty cool though." She agreed with a look of consideration, glancing at the screen then wall as she pulled up another image simply because it seemed like a good idea.

"Hmm..." She glanced around the work room, wondering what else there was to find. "Do ya wanna poke around a little more or go snoop around the campus some more?" The kid bounced around beside the other yellowblood excitedly simply because she could.

While Vos talked away, Reemus clicked about on the desktop, making things pop up on the wall. There was also a moment where he couldn't help but grin a large bit at her hand-shadow shenanigans. He soon followed suit, coming over to the projector's casting light to make a dog while his friend tried to figure things out. "I'm cool with anythin', mate! ...Though I wouldn't mind bein' in here a while 'til, uh, we lose some a' that heat from the security n' all."

He moved down a couple of monitors to check out a keyboard Woofmum was sniffing at. Her nose booped the space bar, turning the screen on. She barked at the bright blinking lights that popped up.

Reemus patted her head to calm her down, then looked at the open window with some level of awe. "Whoaa...what is THIS, now?" He clicked at it. "Pin...ball. Eyy, Vos, y'know what that is?" Reemus himself sure didn't. But he clicked at stuff anyways and tried to follow the tutorial. But slowly. Reading was hard, as was finding the buttons he was supposed to use. "I...press this n'...oh! It makes stuff go up and down! Look! It's cheerin'! Up n' down... Ohhh n' I keep a ball from goin' in a hole! It's givin' me points? This is NEAT, mate!"

Gillian snuffed about next to him in the meantime. For some reason her child was super into this but all she was getting out of it was motion sickness!

Quote:

There’s an emergency shower in here. It looks like it’s been used recently.

Ooo! Psykgi's attention was, briefly, taken by the very finely antlered redblood and the way he talked to the purpleblood. So softly... so soothingly... It was a beautiful example of Moirailship and Psykgi wanted to stay and observe. And help Leeroi of course.

Except, apparently, his lusus was on top of that, in a fascinating and absolutely perfect example of panic. Psykgi was so startled (or intrigued) by the whole thing that she loosened her grip on the desk and her resistance to her own lusus' protective measures flagged, just a little.

It was enough of an oppurtunity for Ma'am to engulf her and shove her out of the door, through the hallway, and into the campus, chittering her apologies to the purpleblood as she left in a ball of red-and-white cockroaches (and a troll.)

Finally, after some further shoving, she dispersed enough to free her troll, scolding her all the while from many tiny mandibled mouths.

”Goodness, Ma.” Psykgi said, shrugging, ”I was just observing. You didn't need to do that.”

She could have been hurt! Or killed! And then what? The swarm began to shove her – gentler now – towards the gate. Ma'am thought that it was time to go home.

Except, Psykgi had caught sight of two things: a splotch of blue blood on the ground, and Leeroi's lusus charging into a building. Ignoring her Lusus's protests, she went straight in that direction, just to see.

To her delight, it was a biology lab. It wasn't her favorite thing – the mind was a product of the function, not the organ, of the thinkpan and she honestly didn't care that much for the specifics, but it was still cool.

She passed by an emergency shower and wondered at its purpose (which it had recently been used for, from the puddle of suspiciously colored liquid that lingered on the floor) before continuing on. Finally, she caught up with the frantic lusus.

Now. Why were they there? Psykgi's mind clicked through the possibilities until she set upon one. OH. Medical attention. Right.

”I can help with that.” she offered, striding up. Ma'am fluttered sullenly, but she could not scold her troll for forming positive relationships with highbloods. Even this clear fool.

Rolling for Sascha (with Trusci) in the Comestible Mess!
1 2 3 4 5 6

Sascha almost snorted in barely-restrained laughter. This punk-a**, suicidal, fantastic girl was actually going to do it! Sascha made a mental note to never play cowardly cluckbeast with Trusci as he watched the warm liquid sail through the air.

The paper cup touched down on top of a midblooded group’s table. It crumpled on impact and the coffee splashed out in a perfect disc, soaking everyone in the vicinity. Sascha laughed with mouth and eyes open wide in disbelief.

Of course the next couple of seconds of enemy response would likely determine whether or not Sascha would make it out of the Edification Center alive. The midbloods were still in a mixed state of balking and shouting. Sascha backed up until he was against the soda machine where he began filling a projectile of his own. He probably could have left the building just fine before campus security showed up, having not been the one to throw the cup, but where would the fun in that be?

Sensing their inevitable demise, Bagwormother scooched under the soda fountain next to her son and tucked herself up into her shell.

campus grounds!

Did being older mean Dictys was any wiser?

Not...not really. Ey'd come back to this place, after all, after eir previous experiences. There hadn't been much to see that Dictys really had access to. Of course, that didn't mean that Dictys' presence couldn't make the place interesting. Now that was a thought. Where might the ship development laboratories be, again?

The place was much cleaner than it'd been the last time Dictys visited, ey was pleased to note. And was that...

Oh. It was a beetle. Dictys quickly reevaluated eir opinions of the place's janitor drones. How wasteful! Certainly, a single beetle was utterly worthless, but if it wasn't contributing to the place's aesthetic appeal or its function, it really needed to go. Someone needed to learn the art of wallet maintenance! Dictys quickly scooped the beetle up and placed it on a windowsill, arranging it on a bed of fallen leaves.

There. Wasn't that a satisfying sight?

Dictys pulled emself away from the window when the display looked satisfying enough.

Keionx Rutace/Rutaca Spuode

[Keionx is exploring the CAMPUS GROUNDS]
[CAMPUS GROUNDS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]

Keionx had always been partial to Chittentown. It was nothing like her homeland of Busthind, and yet she had felt at home here. Perhaps it was the harsh landscape. Perhaps it was because, at one time, many of her friends had lived there.

Times had changed. Innocence had been lost. And, though she'd found herself here on occasion, she hadn't really... been there. Properly. As a person. Always passing through, or on a mission, or wandering to somewhere else unknown.

But today, she was at the Chittentown institution of higher schoolfeeding and she was here to learn. How else was she to keep up her Rutaca disguise if not to immerse herself in science stuff?

Besides it would be a fun adventure and a test of her heroing skills.

[LIBRARY 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Ah yes, the library. Keionx was glad she'd found it - here she would be able to read up on... whatever she was supposed to be doing as Rutaca. She wasn't entirely sure. She'd talked about it with Ephias, but it still wasn't as clear as she wanted it to be. But maybe, just maybe, it would make sense here.

Or she could read an adventure story instead, either or.

For now, she took down a medical textbook and began to skim its pages.

Well that had been interesting... not. Keionx knew anatomy by where she could hit it, not by all of those names and shapes. She certainly didn't care about untraceable poisons. Those were distinctly unheroic - for thieves like Etsali to use.

But the library still had secrets to share. Like a codex club... whatever that was.

Whatever a 'codex club' was, it had nothing to do with her disguise as Rutaca. That book on constellations and space phenomena, however, was eerily relevant. She picked it up and secreted herself away to read it... and hoped that she wouldn't be too discouraged by the fact that the stars did not hold stories and heros as she had always thought they did.

Of course not.

They would not be so far away, otherwise...
