Etho!!!

I need a lab rat favor!

Could you pretty please just stand on that x over there and not question anything I’m about to do?

*Zed points to an large x painted on the ground, surrounded by signs that say, do not enter and caution tape*

-@ask-zedaph

Hmm. On the one hand, there is a lot of warning signs here. But on the other hand, you'd never lie to a test subject, right? That would be unethical.

[ With a knowing smirk under his mask, he does as he is told. ]

*Follow up from Sculk*

*Doc struggles to get in the lab through the entrance he was told to, he can't help being a fluffy centuar, so he's louder than he planned to be.*

<Docm77> What the heck...

*He raises his organic arm to cover his mouth and nose, as he trots through the building, every fiber of his being telling him to flee.*

[ Etho turns on a dime, quickly losing interest in Cub standing before it in favor of new prey. It scrabbles towards Doc, the soft ambient clicking from its chest becoming louder the closer it gets. It hisses at Doc, blue liquid droplets falling from its mask. ]

<Zed> ETHO! I have a great idea! I know I kind of turned you into a baby last time you agreed to help me with an experiment, but could you please come over to the lab for something? I promise it’s fairly normal!

@ask-zedaph

[ He sighs deeply and flies to Zedaph's base, landing silently behind the sheep hybrid out of habit. ]

Hey, Zed. Are you absolutely sure this will be fine?

[asketho]

*Doc turns and faces Bdubs, shielding baby Etho behind his back in the process.*

<Docm77> Well I think it's pretty easy to see, but he's a baby now. And he's mine. Like I said, I've got this covered. [ @ask-docm77 ]

<BdoubleO100> Oh my god, let me see him! [ @askbdubsblog ]

*Zed watching Bdubs frantically trying to take baby Etho from doc*

<Zedaph> Well, my work here is done! Let me just…

*Zed start sprinting to make a break for it and avoid the wrath of Doc and now Bdubs well they’re both distracted distracted* [ @ask-zedaph ]

--

[ Baby Etho, still on Doc's back, shrieks again, this time in delight upon seeing Bdubs. He still seems completely unable to form any words. ]

[asketho]

*Zed slams open the door the experiment room C and run up to the writhing man on the floor but stops himself at a safe distance*

ETHO ARE YOU OK? CAN YOU HERE ME?

@ask-zedaph

[ He blinks at Zed. ]

Um...

[ He coughs suddenly, doubling over. Blue liquid leaks through his mask, presumably from his mouth, onto his hand and the floor. ]

I- I don't feel... so good... um... everything is, uh, like, fuzzy...? I'm having trouble, uh... thinking. Remembering. Um.

[ He coughs again, a series of sharp, violent hacking noises. The blue liquid that landed on his hand seems to have fused to his skin, his fingertips slowly turning the same blue as the right half of his face. It glitters the same way skulk does. ]

I think... you need to run...

[asketho]

Etho, are your clothes part of your skin?

@ask-zedaph

Why, are yours?

No.

Must be @ask-zedaph , pretty sure forklift certification is valid for boats too.

What's a forklift...?
