Dusk: Miss Blaze! Mr. Tom! Mr. Karlsen hasn’t left his room again! What do you think he’s working on this time? Should we go check on him?
[🔥] Blaze gave out a sigh upon hearing this. "Fine, let's go see what he's up to." then she got off the couch and gabbed Tom's arm, forcing him along as she walked to Tord's room. Dusk following behind them.
[🔷] "Hey! Why are you taking me with you?!"
[🔥] "If we need someone to distract him from his work, you're the best bet."
Blaze knocked on the door to Tord's room, his laboratory. There was no response. Then she knocked on it again, but with a little more force, same thing.
Fed up with the lack of results, Blaze opened the door and walked in, still dragging Tom behind her.
It was in the lab that they saw Tord, or rather, his silhouette, in the darkness. Whatever he was working on, he must've preferred to doing it in the dark.
[🔥] "Tord! It's been days since you've left your room! Dusk's been worried sick...again!"
Tord looked up from his work desk to see his friends, he took off his headphones, yet still remained in the dark.
[💥] "Yes yes...Would it have killed you to knock first?"
[🔷] "She did knock." Tom then went over to the nearby light switch. You didn't say any-"
With a fwip of the light switch, the three saw Tord bright as day, only...he was different. For a while, they had seen him red, black, and grey all over (aside from his hair), ever since he got mechanized by his evil (and thankfully now dead) clone.
But as they saw him right now...He resembled his former human self, only with black lines across his body. The lines were on his face, two lines were vertical, ending at Tord's eyes. The rest were all on his joints. Oh, and he didn't have clothes on.
[🔥] Blaze quickly covered Dusk's eyes, despite the fact Tord didn't have anything to hide anymore. All of them staring at him in bewilderment.
"Tord...You're, human again..."
"This here is my new "Flesh Module"! Made with a flexible material akin to human skin! Think of it like my very own skin suit."
"And the best part? With it, I have finally made myself waterproof!"
"I wanted it to be a surprise..."
