Who: Everyone who sees the network post re: the explosion and the impending blob threat!
When: Morning of Day 196. The blob threat and altered personalities have an open-ended date, atm, so people can be dealing with those as they wish!
Where: One of the science labs.
What: The orb causes an explosion of sorts in the lab, which results in two things: 1) some characters act "off," their personalities altering in some way, and 2) there are tiny red blobs (very The Blob-esque) everywhere that are harmless until you get close enough and you realize they want to jump onto your face.
[ The lab is a mess; cabinets and drawers are open, some faucets are dripping, and there's glass and scattered paper and things everywhere. Most troubling, however, are the blobs that like to suffocate people.
Freeze them, contain them in cupboards or whatever intact container you find handy, see if they're afraid of the Bunsen burner, try to use weapons on them -- best to get them cleaned up quickly, though! ]

Anytime. I'm obviously a sucker for pretty girls in pajamas. [ Teasing tone, amused smile - obviously a joke. And yet she's getting all worked up about a screwdriver.
Though... she has a point. ] I know I don't need help. Do you? A fire extinguisher won't last forever, but I can. [ Wow, that doesn't sound weird at all. ] Or, you can, like, borrow my screwdriver or whatever. As long as you give it back later.
[ Not that he needs it, necessarily - but it's the one he used to keep in his pockets, before he had the tool belt. It has sentimental value. ]

Are you offering to protect me?
[ She bats her eyelashes before rolling her eyes at herself. ] A damsel in her pajamas - Look. [ She holds her hands out. ] I don't know what's going on with you and your firebending stuff, but maybe you're better off here and I'll just ... explore on my own.

[ Which... is true, on a level, but no, he won't admit to offering to protect her. It's not like he's a hero among the Seven. In Leo's opinion, he's one of the weaker ones. ]
no subject
So, you want to hang around me or what? [ She raises her eyebrows at him. ] Be non-chivalrous as I walk around what is probably a really elaborate dreamscape? [ Seriously. Firebending. ]
no subject
If this is a dream, then we're in it together, so hey - why not? Though I'm pretty sure it isn't, or there'd be some weird "you are all going to die and here's how" mumbo jumbo going on like normal. [ Shrug. Usually dreams that feel this real are either warnings of what's to come, or... real. This is just weird - but exactly his luck.
Under his breath, he grumbles, ] No one ever told Gaea had evil Jell-o on her side. One more reason to hate that stuff.
no subject
[ A pause. ] You're not talking about primordial deities, are you? [ She snorts, shaking her head in disbelief. It's a small reprieve before Natalie gasps again, unsure how to attack a blob coming his way. ]
Watch out --!
no subject
Unfortunately, [ he says flatly in reply to her question. ] Do you know someone else with the name Gaea? Because last I heard, it wasn't exactly co-
[ "Common," he was going to say, but it turns into a yelp as the blob lands on his arm and starts crawling up over his shoulder toward his face. At first he just shakes his arm wildly, trying to toss the thing off, but when that doesn't work, he simply lights his entire arm on fire. ]

Blessing of Hephaestus, [ he replies absently. It's not like it'll hurt anything, right? He already mentioned Gaea, and if the look on her face is anything to go by, she won't believe him, anyway. Not that he can blame her, even if he'd accepted the whole demigod thing pretty easily. It's a pretty screwed up thing to discover when you're fifteen. ]
no subject
Don't tell me how you did it. [ Despite her own insistence that this surely must be a dream, she still clings to whatever realism she has left, not wanting to believe - what with all the blobs and everything - that he's actually lighting himself on fire. ]

[ Not that she cares what anyone thinks about her intelligence. Natalie just throws her hand up and turns on her heels, preparing to leave the scene because she isn't contributing much at the moment. ]
no subject
But fine, whatever. Don't believe him. Not his problem, he supposes, but he won't be able to help you if you leave. ]
