attenti0n all bubble denizen2, thi2 i2 20llux capt0r.



the fir2t 2weepwi2e "find y0ur 'B' with tw0 pr0ng2 and a cylindrical light 20urce" c0nte2t.
n0w, 2ince m02t 0f y0u pr0bably have n0 fucking clue what i'm getting at, 2tay tune f0r tw0 2ec0nd2.

[The video function turns on, to show Sollux, grinning toothily]

For anyone still paying attention, you officially don't suck. Either that, or you're riveted by blinking lights. Good for you. So now then.

[He holds up a small device, shaped like a bee, but purple and black instead of yellow and black. Darkleer may recognize these are spy drones that he gave to Sollux at 12th Perigees Eve.]

I have here the 'B'. There are dozens of them scattered around the city! If you find one, and catch it, it'll give you a gift. It also proves that you actually have some skills.

[His smile turns a little bit wicked] Good luck~

[OOC: There are indeed a couple of dozen little robotic bees hiding in Vatheon. They will lead characters on a merry chase throughout the bubble. If you manage to catch one, it may explode! The explosion won't be very dangerous, but will cover the character with honey. After all, he is a troll. However, not everyone will be the loser in this - a couple of the bees will instead crack open and prove to contain a handful of tasty honey-filled chocolates. It's up to you!

Edit: And just for additional fun, if you want to get involved and your character wouldn't deliberately chase the bees, there's always a chance of the bees chasing you, and exploding on contact.]

Now there's an interesting task.
I hesitate to say challenge yet, because they're goddamn insects.
Am I to assume that, because they're neither gold plated nor covered in red and blue, you're not the one who made them?

In that case, it's definitely a challenge.
He doesn't go light on his bots.
Do I get any tips before I start on this great adventure?

[Holy shit, forget the bees for a minute. There are other and far more important issues to deal with first.]

[terribubbly]

Sounds like you're having fun!

[ No way she's chasing those bees, though. She'll just enjoy other people having problems. ]

Totally in person right

[thekidsare0kay]

I always have fun when I'm trolling the fuck out of people. [Griiiin]

[Kanaya opens a video chat, but doesn't say anything at all. She's just staring into the camera looking rather upset... and sticky. There's honey everywhere. Everywhere. It's in her hair, all over her dress...]

[video]

[thekidsare0kay]

[Uh oh. On the one prong, this is hilarious. On the other - batten down the hatches, it's Kanaya and her clothes are ruined.

He's sort of terrified and also trying not to laugh]

H-hey...
