It's Electrifying | Accidental Video
Who: Anders and Open
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the Tourist
When: Glitch central
[The feed opens with a lopsided snap, the picture skewed as though the device had been set down and fell slightly. All-in-all, it's a harmless accident, as far as posts go. Anders can be seen milling about the medbay of the Tourist, going through his usual motions of making sure everything was clean and stocked and ready in case of an emergency.
At least, at first.
A few seconds of nothing and a very human thing happens: he trips over his own large feet.
And the room explodes.
A bright flash edged with purple jumps from the hand he slammed onto the table to catch himself and visibly archs from one metal surface to another in the room. It branches and splits and soon purple-tinged lightning zaps even the lights, sounding a loud crack through the room and plunging the feed in blackness.]
Fuck.
[The lights seem to be recovering quickly, but in the dim lighting, Anders can be seen swiping his hands through his hair. As he pulls them away again, however, the lightning returns in a flash from his fingers. As one stray bolt accompanied by more cursing jumps from the mage, it makes straight for the device, cutting the feed with another, loud, jolting pop.]

Anders! Anders, are you all right?
[It's not like him to have so little control over his own magic. Was his augment glitching??]
Video
Riona.
[He says it with a sigh that's filled with both exasperation and pure embarrassment.]
Yes...how much of that did you see?
no subject
no subject
[If he was embarrassed before, it's much worse now. He turns a bright red.]
Of course. I don't know what happened, everything was fine one moment and now everything I touch I electrocute; if I don't just throw lightning at it to start.
no subject
[Haaaaaaaaaa oh Maker she's sorry Anders.]
Aaanyway, it's likely an augment glitch.
Video
Anders? You dead?
Video
No. But your concern is truly touching, Crowley. I'm overwhelmed.
Re: Video
I have to be careful I don't overdo it. I might pull something.
But you're talking to me, so you're clearly not dead. Congrats. Why all the lightning?
Video
[Anders and frustration usually equal snippy bitch mode.]
I don't know. But if I were to guess, I'd say the augment or Atroma or both. I don't usually lose control over my magic like some untrained apprentice.
Video
[Smirking is totally the same as smiling, right.]
Probably doing it for shits and giggles- Atroma. Did your crew go fucking about with the crates?
Action
She sticks her head into the medbay, looking rather unperturbed considering the fact there's lightning going everywhere. It just seems like the average antics of a child with too much magic and not enough sense, though the child in question seems rather un-childlike.]
Do you require assistance?
Action
[Maker, the last thing he needed was Weird-Justice drifting around him. But even as he responded, he tried to pick up the communication device and just ended up shocking it and himself. It clattered loudly to the table as he dropped it.]
Damn it!
[He sighed]
Maybe. I don't know why this is happening.
Action
What has caused this loss of control?
[She doesn't seem all that concerned with the electricity. She gives him a respectful berth, but only the sort of berth that a factory worker may give a large piece of machinery--one that says that she's aware that there's some danger, but familiarity has made the danger distant and trivial.]
action
Pavel dashes to the medbay instead of bothering with a video response.]
Anders? May I assume from the profanity that you're alive...?
