For most of this, Jewel remained completely unconcerned with the trio's mayhem, keeping her gaze decidedly locked on her husband. Who, after failing either to convince Lock not to do what Carver had told him to, or to prevent Carver from giving out any more instructions, went back to frantically sawing and de-riveting as fast as he could manage.

Meaning neither of them was paying any attention to what Shock was doing.

Jewel’s curiosity got the better of her when Barrel clearly understood the chaos that was the pumpkin creature’s silent communication. She glanced over to see what information he had gleaned from all the waving -- and immediately guessed the rest of the plan when she saw paint going onto the heads. She bolted for the door, managing to close it behind her just in time to avoid getting splattered.

Finkelstein, however, was not nearly so lucky. He let out a screech as his goggles were suddenly covered in a glob of blue paint. Upon trying to wipe them clean, he discovered that his gloves had been hit with a stream of red.

White the Doctor was busy trying to regain his lost vision, Carver spread out all of his vines to catch as much of the flying colors as possible. He then proceeded to smear the paint all over the exoskeleton, attempting to blindly draw various funny faces and childishly obscene pictures.

While loudly tapping out another countdown.

Jewel waited several seconds for the majority of the paint to be spent before coming back in the room. She cleared her throat, then spoke as if nothing had interrupted her train of thought. "My suggestion would be the spare body parts," she said toward Shock, in response to Jack's earlier inquiry. "I don't think my husband should be in any position to make any other creatures for... [i]a while[/i]. And it seems your brother has already gathered several of them up for more efficient application," she added.
