[That's a unicorn.

His horn is glowing as he magics his communicator into functionality. What could this majestic creature possibly want? He opens his mouth and out comes the mighty voice of JK Simmons.]

If there's anyone out there who can fashion an airtight suit of armor for an equine, you would be much obliged.

((ooc: forgot the ooc check in last time, this repost is the real deal. ♥ I will repost old comments in top-level threads for those that wanna continue))

[The animal instinct, the drive to play, that part of him that let himself be tempted into play was gone. He'd let himself get far too close, and now he may very well have lost everything for it. Knight turns away from Six, more to hide the fear in his eyes than anything else.

Now, for the first time... he gets to wait around and wonder when it's his turn to pop.]

At ease, soldier.

[The snark is gone from his voice.]

[sixthdeadliest]

[Hearing "soldier" marked him as a subordinate, and Six lowers his head submissively.] I'm sorry, Knight.

[He'd lost control.]

[If this were anyone else, he'd be giving a stern lecture -- and by stern, he meant scathing. Rex, in particular, was familiar with that brand of reprimand. Back home, he was the authority -- and everyone had to answer to him for their mistakes.]

[But Six didn't need a lecture. He should know more than anyone the implications and possible repercussions of what just happened. As far as the situation was back home, the human race as they knew it may have very well gone extinct in that moment.]

[Knight turns, seeing Six bowing his head, tail tucked between his legs. He says nothing for a moment before turning away again.]

It's already done. When we've got thumbs again, we'll run more extensive tests to be sure. For now...

[For now, what? He'd had "in case of infection" plans, but there wasn't a sub-paragraph for "in case of infection while turned into a unicorn". Clearly he should prepare more thoroughly next time.]

Had an evil thought.

[sixthdeadliest]

[If you'd had that particular plan in place already, Six very likely would've seen you institutionalized, partner.]

[However, Six feels deep shame. He lost control and here was both their punishment.]

You know how to run the tests?

ohoho >D

[pasteurized]

Of course I do.

[Really, Six -- suggesting he's unprepared?]

[sixthdeadliest]

[Excuse him, Sparkles.]

At least one of us does, I suppose.

[White shakes off again, mind still occupied. He doesn't look at Six when he speaks.]

Clearly our judgment is compromised. We could lose ourselves to our instincts and risk futher contamination if we're not careful. Go check on Rex, if you can find him.

[sixthdeadliest]

[Six nods. He's got the best nose around right now.]

[He tucks his wings very close to himself as he lowers his nose to the ground and starts trotting along, looking for that Rex smell.]
