[ACCIDENTALVIDEO] [BACKDATED, April fool's event]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[The feed comes on to show Wing just walking across a room...when he notices that Drift has left his Great Sword propped in a corner....Wing shakes his head and steps over to pick it up. Drift, why are you always leaving important stuff lying around like this?]

[Only....when he touches it the whole thing turns into a big, golden, plush sword.]

[Wing is actually going to let out a yelp and drop it now, okay? Okay.]

Wing? What is it?

[Because y'know Wing suddenly yelping is a little concerning seeing as he's WING. Drift (who has totally been here the whole time what are you talking about) comes in from another room and instantly looks confused.]

...and, what's that? What are you doing?

[Drift looks confused, and Wing looks horrified. He looks at Drift, and omg he looks...distraught!]

It's...your Great Sword. I...I don't...I just...touched it and it changed.

[He's given holding his hands up in that "surrender" pose, afraid to touch anything else!! Don't get to close, Drift! he doesn't want to turn you into a gold plush!!]

What are you- what?

[Drift looks between Wing and the sword, the look on his face something between confused, annoyed, and totally worried because goddamn Wing he's never seen you looking so freaked out before. He takes a few steps toward him.]

Wing, are you okay? Seriously you're kind of freaking me out.

[Wing's just going to take a step back.]

I'm fine, just...I don't want to touch you. I don't know if...if it'll happen to you too.

[Oh yeah, good point. Drift stops and kind of hold his hands up in that "oh yeah keep your weird hands off me" sort of way.

Aaaand then he finally realizes something.]

So that. Really is my sword.

[Wing....kind of droops.] 

Yes.

[after a few seconds of awkwardish silence, the feed ends. just another day in the hippy house don't worry.]

((OOC: Drift is blue and Wing is goldish orangy SO COLORFUL))

[SO MUCH ACTION]

[knight_light]

...I'm so sorry, Drift...

Re: [SO MUCH ACTION]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

It's okay, really. I'm way more concerned about... whatever the hell is going on with you right now.

Re: [SO MUCH ACTION]

[knight_light]

[He's kind of scared to even touch himself at all...just...ugh.]

...Maybe it has...something to do with the gold cloth I found last week...

[He sighs.] I...could you take my weapons? [He doesn't want to turn both of their Great Swords into a golden plush.]

Re: [SO MUCH ACTION]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Gold cloth?

[Drift moves over to do just that, but stops short of reaching for Wing's weapons]

It's... just your hands, right? I mean, if I accidentally bump your hip it's not going to do anything?

Re: [SO MUCH ACTION]

[knight_light]

[omg, he'd not thought of that.] I...don't know. I think so.

[he...looks around and...steps over to the couch, kind of poking at it with one foot...then the other....bumping it with a hip...nothing.]

[He....reaches out to touch it...and nothing! What?! He looks shocked for a moment then touches it again...still nothing, and then a third touch...and there it goes! Gold couch!]

Re: [SO MUCH ACTION]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Ooooookay, that's enough of that! Good to know this is completely unpredictable!

[WING You're grounded from touching things ever again.]

Just. Keep your arms up, I'll get your swords.

Oh, hell, Wing... how did you pick up such bad juju?

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[Bab what?]

[He nearly rubs his face, but jerks his hands back last moment.]

I don't know...I think...something to do with the rainbows last week...

[video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

...man...

D'you guys have... I don't know, curtains or tarps or anything handy?

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[Wry] Not really, but I’m sure if I touch something else we may end up with some.

[How frustrating. He’s already turned the couch gold...he’s going to just...sit...and grip the edge of the couch to refrain from touching anything else...including himself, since he doesn’t know how that would work out...]

[video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

I was thinking you could wrap your hands. Even though whatever you wrapped them with would be a write-off, it might work as a barrier against the effect for anything you touched while your hands were covered, make this situation a little safer---for everybody, sure, but especially for you.

[Everyone else, after all, can stand outside arm's reach.]

[diagnosispuberty]

That's not gonna help you fight the Unicorn at all.

[HELPFUL!]

Re: [video]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[hello meaty child who are you 8U]

The... unicorn?

[video]

[diagnosispuberty]

[UR WORST NIGHTMARE]

Yeah. The sleeping guy we're all supposed to fight?

[...he means unicron. Please forgive him.]

Re: [video]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[OH NO NOT MY WORST NIGHTMARE]

Oh, oh, Unicron.

Yeah, I... don't think this sword is going to help at all now.

Re: [video]

[diagnosispuberty]

...probably pretty comfy though.

[Then, as it occurs to him:] Also maybe don't touch yourself. At all.

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[He nearly facepalms, but manages to catch himself from touching his face.] Unicron, Hiro, and no...it won’t.

[He sighs.]

Hiro, meet Drift. Drift, this is Hiro. He arrived not too long ago.

Re: [video]

[diagnosispuberty]

[Very loudly:] No facepalming!

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[He’s going to give Hiro a flat look.] I know...

[He deliberately laces his fingers together and rests his elbows on his knees so his hands hang out in front of him.]

[ye_olde_engineer]

...oh boy.

Hey, guys, listen. Ya might wanna get a hold of Rathan. If anyone's got somethin' that can reverse transmutation effects like that, it's him.

Also, Wing? I've got a pair of work gloves I can loan ya till this wears off.

[knight_light]

[He certainly looks distressed.] I will certainly see him for the sword, and...those gloves would be greatly appreciated.

[He’s just trying not to touch anything he’s not already turned to gold...like the couch...]

[ye_olde_engineer]

Sure thing! I’ll just follow the signal from your drone an’ meetcha where you’re at, if that’s okay?

Uh . . . make sure ta have Drift open the door for ya.

[knight_light]

[He nods.] Yes, that's fine. Thank you, Wheeljack.

[He huffs a soft laugh.] Yeah. I'll ask him to do that.

[Video]

[dirge]

If you don't want it anymore I'll take it!

Re: [Video]

[knight_light]

[Wing nearly facepalms again.]

No, Dirge, sorry. We're going to get it fixed.
