Broadcast: Yes! Joint broadcast Fleetwide
Action: At the Wonderduck and gracing your screens ans ears, unfortunately
When: Now! The week of augment glitches

[ Here's Escha, standing in the middle of the Wonderduck lab! She's got a long band of bright red ribbon in her hands, and she looks excited! Very excited! ... Too excited, maybe - is she vibrating? We may never know for certain. ]

Ah! Hello everyone! [ Escha is talking incredibly fast - her words are practically running together.] We found out a lot of things about the ribbons, because we were doing a bunch of things to them, like putting them through stress, and fire tests, and examining them under lenses, and trying to break down their components-- Ahh, sorry! I got carried away again. But anyway, we wanted to tell you all what we found!

Turns out, they're flame resistant! Um, mostly. I mean, it takes a lot for the to catch fire. Which you wouldn't expect from fabric! So there's got to be more to it than just that, right? Well, that's what we thought, too! And we kept looking into it! And we found out some other amazing stuff!!

"That's right!"

[And just like that, two rubber-clad arms reach to pluck the camera from above, bringing us to the easily recognisable 'face' of Dr. Flug... What is somewhat less recognizable is the fact that he appears to be upside down. He too is talking rather expediently, but well, that's just Flug.]

"And not just fire, electricity In particular! This fabric has a peculiar reaction to electrical currants. Observe!"

[On cue, we cut a piece of the ribbon stretched above an almost taser-like device that flashes brightly, little flashes of light sparking in brilliant patterns.]

"If Atroma doesn't brand us for thieving, I have the mind to test some of these in a few inventions. It could be very useful to have a highly dura--" [He pans to an still smoldering piece of burnt ribbon from an early test.] "MOSTLY durable fabric to use in place of what would usually be a metal alloy's job."

[ She laughs a little, sheepishly, at the ultra-fried ribbon... but then it's back to excitement as she stands on her tip-toes, so the camera catches the very top of her head! ]

I bet we could all do some amazing things with these! They'd be perfect for conducting bridges!

“Or extending battery life--!”

OOC: The ribbon investigating has begun! Want in? We already have Lab Support and Engineer augments covered. Help us investigate-- if you can get a word in! Between Escha's hyperactivity glitch and Flug's misbehaving gravity there may be some issues. Feel free to specify if you want anyone in particular, otherwise you may get either or both (Possibly at the same time!). Threadjacks welcome~

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Escha can't help but giggle quietly behind one hand, but she smiles kindly at Vash and nods. ]

Thank you! We're in my lab on the Wonderduck. Come on over! --Oh! I can make us all some tea! And maybe an apple tart really quick! I should get that started!

[ aaaand off-camera she goes to alchemy up some tea and baked goods. Oops. Glitches are a heck of a thing... ]

"EH You plan to make all that?!--"

[Is all that is yelled in the background before the feed cuts short, but needless to say Flug is ready for Vash when he arrives. The second the blonde clears the doorway he'll find a pair of long yellow rubber gloves much like the Doctor's own dangled from above.]

"You'll be wanting these. Particularly if you're more... prone to shock than usual."

[I mean, he assumes you might be with that whole issue you appear to have developed.]

"These hiccups are a recent development?"

[Did she say apple tart? Hell yes. He was totally coming over for the food. Oh, and those ribbon things or whatever... APPLE TART!!!

Vash is a bit surprised when the gloves dangle in his face. Not because he was being offered gloves, but the angle that they come from. He takes them without complaint and starts to pull them on.] Thanks. Brand new. And did I hear something about apple tart?

[He speaks so fast and with such excitement that he doesn't have time to hiccup.]

[ She did say apple tart!! And while Flug is handing over those gloves, she's putting the finishing dollop of whipped cream on top of a very delicious looking apple tart that she very quickly made with alchemy! In fact, her (very large) cauldron in the corner still has a fire lit under it and is very gently letting off some steam from whatever concoction is apparently still inside~ She beams and waves enthusiastically as Vash enters the lab. ]

Hi! Yes! You did!

[ she points to the finished tart, and the tea set (with three cups!) right beside it. ]

We can have a snack while we talk about potential experiments, if you guys want to?

Yes please! [Vash completely forgets about those gloves. Shoving them into his pocket to run over to where he can have tea and snacks.] It looks delicious!

"Yes, yes, fine."

[The doctor answers with slight flippancy. He never did enjoy when basic needs get in the way of progress but he knows it can't be helped. It is delicious, he'll give her that. So much so that he can't contain a pleased noise when he slips a forkful under his bag. Now if only he can keep from spilling it.]

"You mentioned patterns, why patterns?

"Well, I suppose I was thinking maybe they could possibly have some sort of message or code to them. If we could find a pattern then it should be easier to figure that out.

Of course, if it's just random, then it may just be random." Vash shrugs as he can't be sure at this point. "Just a theory."

[ She slides Vash a piece of the tart while he talks, and humms thoughtfully when he mentions patterns. ]

Well, it might be just a theory, but it's a perfectly good one! I think we should look for that. When we subject them to current, let's turn it down just a little and try to tack it.

But... if it is code, or a message, that's a lot of ribbon to write a message onto...

[ While she's thinking, she might as well have a bite of that tart, right~? omnomnom ♥ ]

[Vash wastes no time at all to start shoveling that tart into his mouth.]

Yes, it is a lot of ribbon. Maybe it's meant to go to lots of different places? We once were roped into delivering a bunch round balls that reminded a lot of people of gumballs. They ended up being used to help get a terraformer working again that we came across.

Maybe these ribbons are something similar? [Hopefully no one is insulted that he's talking with a full mouth. It just means he's enjoying the tart too much to stop eating.]

[ Not insulted at all! She's totally used to it. Certain friends back home tend to do the same thing... ]

Oh! I heard a little bit about that! You were in the fleet when it happened? It sounds like the gumballs came in handy for people who really needed it! [ She smiles. She likes happy endings! ]

You know... I was a little conflicted about taking these ribbons out of the crates at first. But now, if they might really help someone out there, I think maybe we should keep a few. Just in case.

Mmmph! [Vash nods vigorously in confirmation. Mouth too full of tart to answer. Thankfully he swallows before continuing.] Yeah, I was. I've actually been here since the very start of this cycle.

I'm hoping our gracious hosts won't notice if we keep a couple ribbons for ourselves. I mean, we are carting them around for them. They could consider it a type of payment, right? [Vash quickly finishes off the last of his tart with a happy sigh.] Ahhhh! That was delicious!

Oh my gosh, really? That's so long...!

[ She beams when he finishes the tart and compliments it, blushing just a little. ]

I'm really glad you liked it, mister-- uhm... [ !!!! ] Ah! How rude of me, I didn't even get your name! Or introduce myself! I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on with me today, I've been just all over the place and I feel like my mind is running incredibly fast and--

[ Oh good lord. You might want to stop her. ]

[Why stop her? Vash grins, clearly amused by her ramblings and not at all troubled by it. He's suspecting a glitch when she mentions that this energy is something that started up today.

Then again, maybe she is always like this? Hard to tell sometimes.] Well, if you running around makes such great tarts I don't see why you don't do it more often!

[ She does giggle at that, and shakes her head. ]

Honestly, I make sweets even when I'm not running around so much... You'll just have to keep coming back, I guess! I always like sharing!

A-And my name is Escha! You know, by the way. [ She beams, and gives a polite bow! -- as well as one can while sitting, but eh~ it works. ] Nice to properly meet you.

Oh, if that's the case then I'll have to keep coming over every day! [Careful, he really might!]

You can call me Vash. It's great to meet you as well. Hopefully together we can make something out of all these weird ribbons.

Ah! Then I'll try to keep up! [ She can add "make another baked thing" to her daily list of Way Too Much To Do, it's fine she's fine she's a workaholic it's cool ]

I hope we can do something with them! Even if it's just learning what they really are... There's no way they'd keep something just because it's a bunch of pretty colors. I'd love to actually make them useful, especially if it helps someone.

I do too. Let's do what you two were doing earlier and get some electricity back into them.
