Action (PICHU Center)

[It is a beautiful day in Kaisou, and you are a bored raccoon.

Caleb's in the study room at the PICHU Center, ostensibly to do some paperwork but he finished that already and is just sitting around, bored. He couldn't even really tell you how exactly the next ten minutes played out; it started with him pulling his new ARCUS out to poke at it, that much he knows. Jun was there, doing something with his sword and laying all the gems out. Caleb asked if he could try them out.

The next thing he knew his ARCUS was making a very concerning noise and there was light coming from it that was getting brighter and he had three seconds to remember what people yell when they're setting off an explosion as he chucks his grenade-ARCUS out the window:]

Fire in the hole!

[He's not quite fast enough to avoid all damage, as the exploding ARCUS...well, explodes and sends bits flying. Oops?]

[The video is of Caleb, bandaged up and a little bruised, sitting in the PICHU clinic. His Minior is clunking around his head in what is clearly reprimand.]

Heheh, so, uh. If you saw that explosion outside the PICHU center, don't worry, it's fine. We're fine. Nothing's wrong.

[Hehe.]

In...uh, related news. If you have an ARCUS, make absolutely sure you're only sticking the gems that go to an ARCUS in an ARCUS. I didn't realize there were different gems. My bad.

[tonberrykin]

Well, uh.

If you write it down it becomes science instead of a mistake.

You good though, big C? Your tiny planet seems fussy for a rock.

[actnormal]

Oh yeah I wrote that down. Had to for the medical form.

I'll be fine!!

[tonberrykin]

Now slap a hypothesis on that bitch and it was fully intentional and you're unimpeachable and cannot be scolded.

Also that's not the question I asked!! Are you good!! Not will you one day be good!!

[actnormal]

I mean I hurt because I had an exploding magic cellphone in my hand?

here for maybe like a minute if that but then not here

[hoshikiri]

[You ever return to your second work space very briefly to retrieve something, think about maybe getting something done, see something thrown out of a window fucking explode and decide for yourself:

"Takame-kun, must you truly work today? If Zulius were to catch you he'd be furious. And also whatever bullshite is happening right now you want no part of."

Because this guy sure is. If you saw him walk onto the Academy's grounds then teleport away from it, no you didn't.]

[tonberrykin]

Do you still have all your fingers? All the ones you care about at least?

Do you need any ibuprofen or burn cream are you near a medkit

[actnormal]

Yeah I'm at our clinic!

[fionnuisce]

[Does anyone else suddenly feel the wrath of god descending upon them? Because there's only a short pause before a very stressed and positively furious Blackthorn threw open the door with all the force of a sudden storm.]

What. Happened.

[actnormal]

[A little dazed:]

Stuck a rock in my cellphone.

Action

[heng_like_a_dragon]

[It's time to take y'all on a magical ride.

Be Dan Heng. You're just working away on your course for the Fall Semester starting soon and basically getting ahead of the curve since you're going on a camping trip. You even get Blackboard set up so that if you happen to go missing for an unknown amount of time for whatever reason (LIKE THAT'D HAPPEN, RIGHT?), your students will still have the lessons and coursework needed to not fail your class!

You then happen to pass by the study room on your way to somewhere. You don't remember anymore because you just hear your very best friend scream, "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" and an explosion.

And now, Dan Heng is a rabbit. Because the explosion scared him into turning into one. He scurries over and hops up on the (whatever remains) of the windowsill to see Caleb. The rabbit stomps his hind leg furiously.]

Caleb.

[fionnuisce]

[Taking a deep breath, Waver quickly remembered he had priorities.]

Clinic. Now.

[actnormal]

[Caleb, who is dazed and has some cuts on his face and hands, just sort of smiles at the bunny.]

Hi, Dan Heng.

[actnormal]

...oh yeah. Josuke's gonna be mad.

[But he will go! Wobbly and slowly, but he will start making his way out of the study room.]

[fionnuisce]

Worry less about Josuke and more about me as soon as we're convinced nothing's broken.

[A wireframe sparrow snaked out from his sleeve, circling around Caleb to pick him up by the back of his shirt. You're not walking there, buddy.]

Are you hurt?

[tonberrykin]

So for the un-initiated what is an ARCUS so I never stick a no-no rock inside of one.

I don't want a rogue explosion to take me out. I don't have bodypart money.

[actnormal]

[Oh this is happening.]

Head hurts, hands hurt, eyes hurt? But my legs are fine.

[actnormal]

Fancy magic cellphone. I'd show you mine but

Well

･ﾟ･(｡>ω<｡)･ﾟ･

[tonberrykin]

Maybe if you draw a shitty MSPaint diagram that'll do well enough

I do gotta wonder though--what made you think mixing magic wasn't gonna be buckwild at minimum and dangerous at worst

[fionnuisce]

Good. Now before Josuke reads you seven shades of riot act: what the fuck was that?

[actnormal]

I didn't realize there were different magic rocks.

[actnormal]

Jun was cleaning his sword and had all the gems out. I didn't realize they weren't the ones that go in an ARCUS.

[fionnuisce]

[He did not miss the chance of explosions at school being nonzero.]

[...Maybe he missed it a little. But not much.]

You didn't check what it was before you put it in there?

action

[illucesco]

[Look, sometimes you’re just trying to drop off your Pokémon at a day care so they can have play dates with other Pokémon and you can have like twenty meetings the whole day without worrying too much. Noctis is just carrying a very sleepy Litus in his arms when he hears something explode, and his instincts kick into high gear.

He shoves a surprised Litus into an attendant’s arms (sorry I’ll be right back) and summons the Engine Blade from the Armiger, booking it to where he heard his cousin’s cry. A flash of blue light and he’s there, sword held high, eyes wide.]

Where is it?!

[Is there more bullshit on the way oh my god we just got done killing the Unyielding—]

[actnormal]

I didn't know there were different kinds of magic rocks!

[He's said that!]

[actnormal]

[Caleb just points out the window, where the smoldering remains of his ARCUS lie.]
