Show nested quote +You couldn't sleep so you decided to head over to the lab to continue working on your projects. You eyed the thick red webs of flesh on your way over to your station. It pulsed whenever people came near it. It almost seems sentient, as though it's trying to come reach out and grab you but falling just short. Eerie.
Hours pass by as you mix chemicals, looking for the right combination to make an acid that can really burn through that webbing. You pour one mixture on a small sample of the webbing but nothing happens. You hear footsteps in the distance, drawing closer. You look up from your work and Snarfs walks into the room. He looks troubled.
"I'm working on making an acid that can melt through these webs. I think it could come in really handy." you say to him, before he asks what you're doing. Snarfs works in the biology lab. You smile at him.
"Oh..." he mutters. He looks scared out of his wits. I suppose anyone would. He walks up close to you and pats you on the back.
"Rough night eh buddy?" he says. He tries to chuckle but his voice is shaking. Poor kid.
"Yeah....are you alright?" you ask. That fake cheer won't fool you. Even though you always seem calm on the inside, you're just as scared as anybody. You understand.
"I think I just need to get some sleep." he says quickly. You nod in agreement and he walks away. You figure that's what is best for you too and head off to bed
Haha awesome. Here's mine:
You knew prplhz would likely be in the lab. He was a dedicated researcher and despite all the commotion over the last few days, he would always work on his projects for a while before he went to sleep.
You walked on over to the laboratory. The entryway was nearly covered in those thick red webs. You could see it pulse slowly as you drew nearer to the door. Disgusting. Prplhz was in the lab, mixing chemicals attentively.
You hold the small explosive in the palm of your hand. Prplhz looks up and gives you a smile.
"I'm working on making an acid that can melt through these webs. I think it could come in really handy."
"Oh..." you mutter nevously. You realize you're acting suspicious and return his smile. You walk over and give him a pat on the back. When you wipe your hand up, you let the explosive attach to the back of his neck.
"Rough night eh buddy?" you say with what you think is some sort of cheerfulness. You start to sweat.
"Yeah....are you alright?" prplhz looks worried. You shake your head.
"I think I just need to get some sleep." you say quickly and walk out of the lab. You're not really cut out for this kind of thing. You take your own advice and fall asleep pretty quickly.
Thanks for hosting DrH and kita! Really enjoyed the night event and the opening role PMs
