// 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.)

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.]

-!

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

Good, it works.

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

[bluesofpeace.livejournal.com]

! Recharge your... what?

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

You mean these things just... absorb electricity?

[starofchaos]

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.]

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

We can find some more and make a nice pile of them for you. Then you won't have to worry about a thing while you sleep.

[Well, except for poisonous snakes maybe.]

[A crab skitters over Ocelot's foot. He flicks it away with the toe of his boot, send it to land near Liquid on its back, flailing its spindly legs and claws.]

... Really? I wonder if it could charge my rice cooker...

[Kaz uses the appliance often, particularly for his on-the-go snacks. You never know when you might get stuck somewhere without food in this place.]

[Which reminds him of the weight in his pocket..]

So, who's up for some onigiri filled with crab meat?

[starofchaos]

That sounds more than acceptable. Both to the "onigiri" and to the pile of mushrooms.

[Bah! Real men don't worry about poisonous snakes!]

[fancy-shooting.livejournal.com]

Dinner already?

[Ocelot is skeptical. His stomach doesn't feel entirely great after all the raw meat he just swallowed.]

[bluesofpeace.livejournal.com]

You still don't have to eat it if you don't want to, Adam... I can make you something special later.

[For now, at least, Kaz isn't going to push it on him. He's still pretty shocked that Liquid hasn't turned down anything he's offered him yet today, and is glad to be on a roll.]

[A brief moment later, he's pulled his handgun out and aimed it at the crab.]

Is this one big enough or should I wait for another one to come along?

[starofchaos]

...no, that's quite big enough. You know you could use a knife, right?

[He's in a compliant mood. Liquid isn't actually very hungry at all - far from it, really - but he knows how much energy he's wasted today. It's a lot more than usual.]
