[The feed cuts on, even though there isn't much to see, except a cloud of smoke. The loud scraping of a window opening and then some stumbling and coughing and then the opening of a door and slamming behind him, at least in the hall there isn't any of the strangely coloured smoke.

Peter is coughing and gasping a little bit, looking pale like his senses are completely overloaded.]

Ah... [His voice is hoarse.]

Would anyone mind- [Cough.] if I borrowed their couch for the night?

[What science experiment gone wrong, who said he did that? Nothing out of the ordinary here at all. The feed cuts out.]

[Gee, that assault on the castle did not go as planned. Might as well do another good deed to try and perk his spirits back up.]

Eheh, sure. You can outright have one, if you don't mind some dilapidation.

[Don't take it, Peter. He thinks you literally just want a couch.]

Video

[spidertwerp]

Oh, uh, I don't have anywhere to put a couch right now.

Thanks though!

[Wasn't what he meant Ted.]

Re: Video

[youfool]

You're welcome!

[He supposes. Ted's confused.]

But if you don't have room for one--though it seems you used to, or might in the future--why the request to borrow? Did you need to use it elsewhere?

[Watch those logic processors go.]

[spidertwerp]

It's an expression for - [He coughs a few times.] needing somewhere to spend the night.

[He smiles sheepishly.]

Re: Video

[youfool]

Oh, an idiom!

[He'll mentally jot that one down and maybe not forget it.]

Well, er, I have a few passes for the Amagi Inn left, if you like. Have any other offers arisen?

[wearingtights]

I have a couch if you need it kid.

[He pauses.]

What happened exactly?

Video

[spidertwerp]

[Cough, wheeze, just a bit of a rasp in his voice.]

I'd appreciate it, Mr. Rogers.

[He should still be polite.]

I uh, miscalculated a little bit.

Video

[wearingtights]

Miscalculated?

[He raises an eyebrow at that.

He's going to need more kid.]

Video

[spidertwerp]

I think I reversed the amount, so instead of getting a stable product, I got a bunch of smoke.

[He pauses.]

I was doing chemistry in my room.

Video

[wearingtights]

Shouldn't you have a lab for that?

[Steve is questioning Peter's methods while trying not to smile.]

[cadbane]

That better not be my droid going up in smoke.

[Video]

[spidertwerp]

No no, your droid is fine! He's ready too, I just have to paint him!

[Because why wouldn't you paint a new friend?]

[Video]

[cadbane]

Paint what? Some protective coating?

[Video]

[spidertwerp]

Well don't you want some colour?

[Why not? He could paint it pink. He won't, but he could.]

[Video]

[cadbane]

It's not necessary. The droid shouldn't really stand out too much.

[Aside from being a little robot.]

[Chiaki paused for a moment, she is very curious why there is so much smoke. But she decides to be polite and simply not ask.]

I would offer mine, but I would have to speak to someone else about it. Though... might you need help cleaning when the smoke clears?

video;

[spidertwerp]

[He coughs a bit.]

Someone I know offered! I..hope not? I hope not. It should all dissipate by the time I get back!

[gamerrep]

Then make sure to at least keep windows open for a short while before you leave, it should help a lot and stops smoke from sticking around in items.

video;

[spidertwerp]

Yeah, I've got the windows open. I'm hoping it will all just...leave.

[He offers a little smile.]

video;

[gamerrep]

It should do eventually, though you might need some way of getting rid of the smell.

[k2so]

You can stay at my house, it's practically a hostel. [They just keep inviting teenagers, Cassian is used to it at this pint.] But you need to go to the hospital first and get checked for injuries and smoke inhalation. I can go with you.

Did you try to build a bomb?

[spidertwerp]

My friend offered me somewhere to stay, but thank you it's very kind of you!

[He offers a bright smile, even if he has to stifle more coughing, bone-jarring coughing.]

I don't need the hospital. [He shakes his head, sure he inhaled a lot of smoke, and it is making his lungs burn and protest, and with the chemicals, it kinda stings, but he'll be fine by morning.]

What? No! Of course not! I was just trying to come up with a better cleaning agent to use on bl-stubborn stains. [An innocent smile.]

[k2so]

Oh, you have friends. [A pause, and then.] I men, that's good! I just didn't know.

Yeah, I don't buy that. Don't make me go there and drag you to a healer, I know a few. [No, Peter, you might be dead.] The dangers of smoke inhalation include burns to the respiratory system, poisoning and pulmonary irritation and swelling, chest pain, coughing up blood, Headache, abdominal pain, and nausea...[He can go on and on, Peter.]

Were you? What are..[Kay makes air quotes.]...'bl-stubborn' stains?

[spidertwerp]

I guess? I'm not sure what else to...call him.

[Guy he really looks up to?]

Yeah, I know. [He holds his hand to his chest.] I feel the burning, but I don't need a healer. I'm pretty lucky, I just...I'll wake up right as rain! Practically magic!

[Small fibs, so small.]

I mean stubborn stains, you know? Cleaning?

[k2so]

Can I ask what's his name? [He wants to make sure Peter didn't go and befriend a psycho.]

You could pass out at any moment, Peter, this is really not healthy.

Such as blood stains?
