// Electric, it's a natural hiiiigh~

[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.)

You're modest, too. I like that.

[Kaz gives Ocelot an amused smile and holds his hand out to take the food back from him.]

There isn't much left... sure you don't want to finish this, Liquid?

[He takes it off him without a word, immersing the tough, firm meat in the warmth of his mouth. It takes only a moment of two for him to devour it, swallowing the thick juices that trickle down his throat as he works the meat with his jaw and teeth. He swallows it down without protest and leans back against the wall again.]

[Ocelot then stands, picking at the wrists of the dish-washing gloves, wishing he could take them off.]

Maybe I'll send you an invitation next time I need to crack someone.

Good. You should eat like that more often... it'd be good for you.

[Kaz pats Liquid's shoulder and stands himself, addressing Ocelot.]

As long as I'm the only one you invite.

[He tilts down his sunglasses and winks at Ocelot, but it's pretty laughable considering that he has the same silly gloves on.]

Don't be ridiculous.

[He raises an eyebrow at the sight of the two of them.]

...you two look ridiculous.

You're ridiculous.

[Nice comeback, huh?]

[Kaz looks between the two, eyes still uncovered, and bursts out laughing. It wasn't really even all that funny, but there was a sense of closeness forming between them that he hadn't experienced in a long time. It was... nice.]

I'm wearing rubber gloves, filled with electricity and meat and sitting in the hallway listening to you two discuss torture. I'm pretty sure that's a given.

[His voice is a little drained but amused.]

...you have nice eyes, Kazuhira. Maybe you should show them off more often.

So what now? Are we going to find a rubber room?

[He tries to twirl a gun.... which completely fails, due to the trigger sticking to the glove. He frowns and puts the gun back away.]

[Kaz lowers his voice, not missing the chance to joke about Liquid's statement.]

If you want to be filled with another kind of meat, all you have to do is ask...

[His bright eyes shine with amusement before he moves his sunglasses back up to their normal position.]

It could even be rock... whatever Liquid's more comfortable with. You know of any rooms like that, Ocelot?

[Liquid raises an eyebrow at those words and jokes back.]

Only if you want electrical burns on your dick.

[He bites back a laugh at Ocelot's attempt.]

Rock sounds good. Although if we could find somewhere with an attached hanger for the kid, that would be good. Maybe we can find one big enough for him and Rex. If worst comes to worse, I can knock down a few walls, fix things up.

[Snort.]

......I know of a place. I can't say it's big enough for your pets, but it'll be good temporarily for your condition.

[Motioning for them to follow, he starts walking away.]

[Kaz winces.]

N-no, that's... alright...

[He follows Ocelot without question, grateful for the distraction from where his thoughts were heading.]

I thought not.

[Liquid bursts out laughing and rises to his feet to follow. He feels a little dizzy - or rather, a lot dizzy - and shaken, but so help him he will not allow this to knock him out.]

If it will handle me for now, I'll accept it.

[It isn't long before Ocelot stops at one of the nature doors. He opens it with a theatrical flourish, and out comes the musty earthy smell of a deep dark cave.]

[He mutters to himself as he strides in, searching for a glow. A snake and a few crabs slither/skitter away from his footsteps.]

[Kaz gives Liquid a joking punch to the shoulder and smiles at him. It's nice to hear him laughing, too.]

Whoa...

[He's a bit surprised to see that Ocelot's brought them to a cave, but he supposes it's not a bad idea. Should Liquid be in any danger, he could likely just zap anything that bothers him. Kaz follows Ocelot inside, looking around.]

Man, sure is dark in here...

[The sunglasses probably aren't helping.]

[A flash of light illuminates the room as Liquid focuses, gathering the electricity and throwing it outwards at a wall. It's only for a moment, all he can manage right now, but it's enough to give him an idea of the layout.]

Ocelot, what are you looking for?

Not completely dark.

[Ocelot keeps walking, the jingling of his spurs growing distant in the darkness. He keeps a hand against the wall to guide himself.]

...Ah, it's over there. I knew I'd find it. See that glowing? Liquid, go stand there.

[?]

[Liquid heads to where Ocelot directed him, crouching down beside it.]

...one of those glowing mushrooms?

Try using your electricity.

I've seen these used on the colonel. He hates them.

[Kaz tilts his head at the small light source in the cave, curious about what Ocelot's getting at.]

Do they taste any good?

They don't taste bad. Recharge your batteries, too.

[He concentrates, throwing the electricity out. It arcs, twists and is drawn back towards the mushroom.]

-!

Good, it works.

Now you can let out as much as you want without any accidents.

! Recharge your... what?

[Kaz crouches and gets a closer look at the mysterious fungus, surprised and fascinated.]

You mean these things just... absorb electricity?

Yeah. One of them recharged my phone after I ate it. The mushroom, not the phone.

[He sinks down to sit beside it, relaxing his control a little. Just a little.]
