[video via grimy bathroom mirror] i accidentally made him look like a poster from a bee movie

[gogoghostpowers]

[When the video turns on, Danny is in what Locke High students will recognize as one of the boy's bathrooms. He sniffles a little bit, leaning in closer to the mirror, giving everybody (and himself) a better view of exactly the state he's in.

He wipes a finger under his nose, swiping the goopy, glowing blood from it and holding it close up to the mirror. He then rubs it between two fingers and pulls them apart, the substance stretching out into a sticky string between the fingertips.]

...So. Uh. I guess this is what my blood looks like now. God, I hope no one saw me running over here.

I...don't think I'm supposed to be bleeding radioactive waste. Is--is this even safe? Am I going to get cancer and die of radiation poisoning from myself?

[He clutches his head in his hands, starting to look and sound a little hysterical.]

Oh no. How am I supposed to even clean this up?! I need a--a--one of those biohazard trash cans!! Oh my god.

What the hell happened to you?

Window reflection from the class down the hall

[not_good_not_wicked]

Holy sh-

"Is something interesting out there, Ms. Kirisame?"

Ah...no ma'am.

[A few seconds later, she tries again, but whispers.]

Are you alright? What happened!?

[gogoghostpowers]

I don't know!! Apparently I just--started bleeding this stuff at some point!! [He points to the 'blood' slicked across his forehead.]

[gogoghostpowers]

No I'm not alright, I'm bleeding radioactive waste! I don't even know how much longer I have left to live!

[Video]

[scramasax]

What er -- ! ...What - happened...? [A redundant question given the above by now but a seemingly very appropriate one. He's bleeding from the head and nose. He's currently at the high school. One should not be caused to bleed that much at school!]

Should mention also video.

[doomedtheworld]

I can see that. I meant why are you bleeding?

[Video]

[gogoghostpowers]

[Danny has also learned by this point from the above responses that there are two answers to that question.]

You mean why am I bleeding this stuff, or why am I beat up?

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh. Uh. I kinda got beat up a little bit earlier today.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Okay okay calm down. Do you actually feel any different?

[Video]

[scramasax]

Why are -- [As juxtaposed with the second, the first of those two questions sounds like not the right one to pick.] -- ...uh - I was more - worried about the -- second one.

[doomedtheworld]

A little bit? Who did it?

[And does she need to kick their ass?]

you should probably let mordin solus know over at the clinic

once he gets over creaming himself in glee over the weird symptoms he'll probably be able to figure out what the hell is wrong

might not be radioactive, you could just be bioluminescent, which'd be 100% harmless.

[gogoghostpowers]

Kind of lightheaded...but not really, no.

[gogoghostpowers]

Uh, just--just somebody at school.

[pls don't]

[Video]

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh, I, uh--it's a--it just happens sometimes.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Okay, um...

[What do I do what do I do what do I do?]

Isn't there that clinic downtown somewhere run by a guy from the network? Dr. Solus? Maybe you should see if you can get there.

[gogoghostpowers]

Bioluminescent?! How is that harmless?! With a name like that, it has to be lethal!

[reapsthewind]

Christ what are they teaching you kids in science class these days anyway jeeeesus

bioluminescence just means "animal or plant that glows in the dark naturally"

like, fireflies right? They're harmless, the stuff in their butts is a harmless organic compound that glows when exposed to oxygen

there's algae that does it, and some plants, and jellyfish, and they've even genetically engineered cats and rabbits to do the same thing

if i had to guess -- and I'm not a biologist so idefk what this would be -- you've probably just got some compound in your blood now similar to what fireflies have that glows when exposed to air

totally harmless

[gogoghostpowers]

Right, right, the clinic! Good idea!

[He pauses and his face falls.]

...How am I supposed to get there without anybody seeing me all bloody?

[not_good_not_wicked]

I dunno. Why'd you start bleeding in the first place?

video

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh.

...And those cats and rabbits--they're totally okay? They don't have like, blood cancer or something?

[gogoghostpowers]

Well, it's not like I started bleeding on purpose!

[not_good_not_wicked]

You'd have to be pretty weird to do that on purpose smartass. Just, I don't know, wipe your face off really well.

[gogoghostpowers]

How? If I do anything I'll be spreading radioactive gunk everywhere!

[not_good_not_wicked]

I don't know, use a million paper towels. They have those in the boys bathroom right? Just get out of there before someone else decides they have to pee or things'll get awkward fast!
