"...." He face palmed. "/Get out./"

"What? Uh--...haha, you're not serious, are you?"

"I am."

"But I just made a joke...?"

2016-01-24 08:50:24

●

"And I'm tired of your jokes. Get out."

2016-01-24 08:52:26

"B-but, Eillie, I just...wanted to talk to you....what did I do wrong?..."

2016-01-24 08:53:47

"You literally said my best friend was a rapist. /Get out./"

2016-01-24 08:55:09

🌀

"I was just telling the truth, I stopped talking about it, I'm sorry, please don't make me leave......?"

"I said, Get. Out."

His smile slowly faded and he pulled his goggles down over his eyes. They fogged over, and he stumbled out the door, almost walking into the doorframe as he sniffled. He'd never felt like this before. He hated it. It hurt.

He'd never exactly had much of a self-preservation instinct to begin with, so one can imagine what he immediately went and did after his first experience with emotional pain. Find out whether these appliances by the dumpster could be combined into a giant robot, of course! Maybe Eillie would be impressed then! Maybe he would.... He rubbed tears out of his eyes, pulled his goggles back down over his red and reddened eyes, and grabbed an old screwdriver along with the rear panel of a battery-powered toaster oven. These were a lot like microwaves, right? Right. That was right. The battery was even still in place. He grabbed two wires and jerked them out, he'd have to hook up the power supply to the dryer he'd fo--he spasmed and fell to the ground, jerking about with burnt hands and singed hair. With sparks shooting off the exposed wires and the bottoms of his checkered Converse, he lay motionless.

Edmund was on the way back from finishing a decidedly successful job when something caught his eye in the rear-view mirror of his truck. A bit of a light in a back alley, reflecting off bright red. Was someone bleeding out back there? He parked and went back to find out, slightly concerned. No blood, that turned out to be a skinny man's hair. Was that a /cut-off lab coat/?? Very nice! It looked like he'd been messing about with some circuits, and going about it all the wrong way. He tutted. Well, this fellow would probably get himself killed if this was his hobby. And he needed a new test subject anyways, for the density modifier he'd been working on! He dragged the man to his truck by the wrists and tossed him in the passenger seat, buckling him up. Can never be too safe. Well, one /could/, but not with vehicular safety. He drove back to the apartments, but the stranger didn't wake up. He whistled his way up to Mysteria's door and flung it open.

Mysteria heard her front door open from her bedroom. At the moment, she was taking care of a small herb garden she had growing in the window sill. "If you've come to rob me, you're not getting my shit!" She called downstairs as she rushed downstairs, pepper spray in hand.Once she got to the lower level and saw who it was, she set it down. "For fuck sake Eddy, I told you you can't barge in like that."

2016-01-24 09:29:29

🌀

"Would you rather I come in the window? You have /much/ better ways of defending yourself, I don't see why you'd pick pepper spray. If you'd just set up magical booby-traps or something, you wouldn't have this problem!"

2016-01-24 09:31:57

●

"Because you keep coming in and setting them off! Do you know how long it takes to turn you back into a human once you're a frog? A long time!"

2016-01-24 09:33:51

🌀

"If they were gene-coded or something like /my/ locks, that wouldn't be a problem either! And being a frog is fine, you could always just leave me!"

2016-01-24 09:37:33

●

"How am I going to explain to your mom I turned you into a frog again? Huh? Your mom is practically best friends with my mom. I'll get a phone call 30 minutes later with her screaming 'MYSTERIA LUCI WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO THIS TIME"!"

"My mum doesn't even know how to use Skype, she wouldn't see my face!"

2016-01-24 09:40:51

●

"Your mom has my mom on speed dial."

2016-01-24 09:41:33

"Yes, and?"

2016-01-24 09:41:42

●

"She would know if something was wrong if you never answered her calls."

2016-01-24 09:42:32

"I'll have you know I have a programmed version of my voice installed on my computer, I can talk with that."

2016-01-24 09:42:59

●

"That is if you don't try to use it for a toaster again. Nevermind moms for now. What do you want? I was tending my garden."

2016-01-24 09:44:23

"And it /worked/, the setting is beautiful for bagels. Oh, that's right, I brought home a new lab rat! Do you think you could fix him up?"

2016-01-24 09:45:16

"...Did you pick up another meth head again?"

2016-01-24 09:45:54

🌀

"Well, he /might/ be on meth, he was taking a screwdriver to a trashed toaster oven and grabbing wires with his bare hands, but I couldn't tell. He's unconscious."
