// Electric, it's a natural hiiiigh~

[starofchaos]

[Of all the things Liquid might have expected, this was not one of them.

He had walked into a room earlier almost without thinking, mistaking it for one he regularly visited. Realising his mistake he had, of course, swiftly left as fast as a man could leave without giving signs of fear. But as the day passed and little happened to harm him, he grew steadily more relaxed. That was, at least, until the electricity coursing through him began to manifest. A brief spark of annoyance, an unconscious exertion and shattered glass from the exploding corridor lights adorned the floor like snow, leaving a stretch of hall in total darkness. Liquid stared down at his hand as sparks crackled over it.

...that was actually both painful and entertaining.]

...the hell?

[Surely that was new.]

(ooc: So yeah, thanks to chat, Liquid now has lightning powers! ...for three days, at least.)

[Far too many, he might become immune after a while.

... God forbid, he'd snap and sulk for ages.]

O-ok, papa... [Keeping his distance, he follows his father like a good dog.]

[starofchaos]

[And that would be worrying. He waits for the boy outside of the darkness, still trying to control the lightning coursing through him.]

There you are, kiddo.

[...he really needs to give the kid a name or something.]

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

[That is, if he doesn't decide to destroy the Nexus before the sulking.

The Gekko skips out, smiling sweetly at his father, holding his arms out.] Mh, thank you papa!

[Oh he does. Emma named him Yuki...
But Liquid doesn't know that yet.]

[starofchaos]

There's a reason I said not to come too close.

[Liquid looks pale and determined, focusing on trying to control the electricity.]

Sorry. I can't hold you right now. It would hurt you.

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

[Ah, but does the Gekko listen at all times? No, he's now touching his fathers arm...
Only to let out a scream as the electricity saps him, pulling back his hand with a small whimper.]

[starofchaos]

!

Hey! Be careful. I can't control this.

[He stumbles back a step, holding his arm.]

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

...[Nodding quickly, he nibbles on his hand and shudders, pouting.]

Ok, papa... [Aww, the kiddo just wanted to show him some things.]

[starofchaos]

I'm sorry. Did it hurt badly?

[Liquid can be quite fussy when he wants to.]

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

[Quickly, he smiles at his Father and shakes his head.] N-nuh! I'm a machine, I didn't feel it.

[Blatant lies.]

[starofchaos]

[Liquid looks relieved at that, although he doesn't believe it.]

Good. I'd sooner not hurt you.

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

[Grinning, he nods and leans back against the wall.]

I hav-e been kind of... searching for you, papa.

[starofchaos]

You know you're welcome to stay with me, kid. I like having you around.

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

... You never told me where your apartment is, pa-pa.

[Displeased Gekko is Gekko.] B-ut it's ok! I live by.. U-uuuhm.. Gasmask man...

[starofchaos]

Ah, sorry. I'll take you there so you know where it is.

Mantis.

[The boy nods and skips over to him.] Let's go, Papa!

[starofchaos]

This way. [He's careful not to let the sparks jump from him to the boy, allowing him as close as he dares to let him as he leads the way.]

[The Gekko quickly wanders after him, mooing quietly as he fiddles with his pants.] There are many people here... A-nd they teach me many things~!

[starofchaos]

Hopefully nothing too bad. What are they teaching you, I wonder?

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

[The Gekko now explains everything he have been taught. That is, all covering how a Salmon tastes, how to open a can of cat food, how to have safe sex and how to have an orgasm.]

I think... that's all, yup~!

[starofchaos]

. . .

You've, ah, learnt a lot.

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

[Smiling, he crosses his arms with a nod.] People are very nice, so I'm happy..

[starofchaos]

Who was it that taught you about sex?

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

Uhm.. [He strokes his cheeks and thinks.] ... A redheaded girl... And Emma~!

[starofchaos]

Redheaded? Did she tell you her name? [Funny, he doesn't remember any redheads, except-] ...Was it Meryl, by any chance?

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

.. Think.. so. [Nodding slowly, he closes his eyes slightly as they go blank.] ... Meryl Silverburgh...

[Grinning, he looks up at his father.] Yeah, it was her~!
