*there is a loud explosion, and the sound of glass breaking*

*is lying on the floor, singed and still slightly smoking*

I... *blinks* It blew up.

River pokes her head around the door, still dressed in sweats and a tank top. "Yes. It did. Did you forget to balance the lux with the aetherias?"

[alchemic-bean.livejournal.com]

...the lux with the... who's a what now?

She nods knowingly. "You might want to see the doctor. Your eyes aren't responding quite right, and you might have a concussion."

*rubs back of head* I'm fine, I've had worse. I'm remarkably hardheaded.

"I'm River. What were you combining, then?"

[alchemic-bean.livejournal.com]

I'm Edward.

I wasn't combining anything, actually, there was this weird purple thing in my bag that exploded when I tried to grab it. Or it caused some sort of reaction and ran away, because I'm not covered in goopy blood.

"Purple thing?" She looks nervously from side to side. "Was it one of those gremlins or genus Teuthoidea I heard people talking about?"

[alchemic-bean.livejournal.com]

It wasn't a gremlin, I've seen enough of those little fuckers to last me a lifetime. >.> It was a purple, round ball with eyes.

I haven't seen anything ALIVE with tentacles outside of the bathrooms.

*waves smoke from face*

What blew up? Is it toxic? It's not going to make me fly or start singing Mon Cal opera or run naked through the hallways is it?

Oh, and are you okay?

[alchemic-bean.livejournal.com]

*sits up and holds head*

...I don't know WHAT it was! It was in my bag of stuff "borrowed" from the lab equipment! o.O It had EYES, too. I think it was purple, I grabbed it and the next thing I know I'm on my ass halfway across the room and the windows are blown out.

Poking his head around the doorframe, he glares at alchemic_bean as well. "Would you mind blowing up the other side of your room next time? I'd like to keep my single room, not make it a triple."

[alchemic-bean.livejournal.com]

*flails at him* DO YOU THINK I LIKE BLOWING MYSELF UP?!

Besides, it was some random purple thing with EYES. I JUST STUCK MY HAND IN MY BAG!

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure someone around here gets off on it, so I wouldn't assume you don't."

Krycek leans back a little as the short blond begins rooting around in the bag again, arching an eyebrow. "Just try to avoid structural damage, alright? Your neighbors would be appreciative."

*walks by, gives slow applause, rolls her eyes, keeps going*

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Fantastic. Something else to be looking out for--a one-eyed flying purple possible-people-eater.

Need help getting to the med unit?

[alchemic-bean.livejournal.com]

*shakes head* Nah, I think I'm all right. I'm not bleeding much ... and my ears aren't ringing.

I'm more concerned about the in the holy flying fuck that thing WAS. *starts to root through the remains of bag*

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

I'm off to government class, but I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it.

You might want to post a sign in the dorms, though. Give the beings here a warning before it bites them or kisses them or I don't know, dances before their eyes.

Hate to have another gremlin-type incident while I'm in class and not there to watch the fun.
