// 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.)

.. 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~!

[starofchaos]

Silverburgh is a dangerous person, kiddo. Be careful around her.

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

She's dangerous...? But she seemed so nice...

[Silly little cow, he doesn't see the difference between a good or bad person until they begin running or shooting.]

[starofchaos]

She's an enemy of mine. So don't let her know you're with me, alright?

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

[.. Well, fuck, that had already slipped out.

The Gekko looks away quickly and gives him a shaky smile.] ... Y-yemoo, of moo-course. I moon't tell her anything.

[He is a horrible, horrible liar.]

[starofchaos]

... [Sigh. Of course. Too late was the cry.] It's alright. I'm not angry at you.

[Liquid now has a teen latched onto him, who is pouting.] S-she asked me who my papa was...

[starofchaos]

[Except Liquid is still electrified... He reacts fast, shoving the gekko back.]

Careful! You might get hurt!

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

[The Gekko lets out a small scream and whimpers, looking up at him.] S-sorry papa, I forgot...

[starofchaos]

It's alright. I'm sorry. I can't control this. It should be done with in three days.

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

[Three days without papa cuddling.

... Now he wonders if his robot form handles it better.]

O-ok... M-make sure not to get hurt, ok...?

[starofchaos]

It's painful, but it'll be alright. I can bear it.

[The robot form probably could handle it better.]

Stay with me anyway?

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

Of course I will! [Grinning wide, The Gekko nods and laughs happily.] You're my papa after all.

[starofchaos]

Good boy. [Liquid smiles back at him, pleased.]

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

[Giggling sweetly, he skips down the hallway.] Paaapa called me a good boy~!

[starofchaos]

[Liquid has to smile at that, following him down the hall.]

It's this way. [He points down a corridor.]

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

[The boy follows the man with quick steps, looking at the various doors with a small smile.] I could never explore this place properly in my normal form...

[starofchaos]

You should take the opportunity to try when you're like this. You might find interesting things.

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

Yeah! [He nods and thinks.] Like that.. grass. Hay. It was tasty to eat.

[starofchaos]

I didn't think you'd like that sort of thing.

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

I love it, it's tasty! [He laughs and nods.] I'll fill my room with hay and eat it, and and and..

[starofchaos]

You could always go live in a hayfield if you love it that much.

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

Nuuuh. [He pouts and shakes his head.] I'm gonna live outside your room. If I live in a hayfield, I'll rust.

[Nevermind that can't rust in the first place...]

[starofchaos]

Live outside my room, huh? Maybe we should find a room with an adjoining hangar for when you're in your other form.

[badtouchgoesmoo.livejournal.com]

Aah! [Smiling sweetly, he nods quickly.] Perfect idea! Papa is really smart...
