Shdw wolf: I have no real clue how the fool did it, though it looks to be pretty effective.

@Stabby

You're not wrong. I'm as fool as a fool can get. But I'm an effective one.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I don't know the last time I heard of chemists. I didn't think they were around anymore.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

I hope so. Going down there is never fun.

@Webmaster

There are places. Life goes on, and it tries its darnedest to get better.

We use everything we can. When you have a rock and a stick, some tape makes it a decent hammer.

@Webmaster

That's true. Resourceful. I like that. In this kind of environment a chemist has to be resourceful, but the materials are everywhere.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Yeah, like weapons!

@Webmaster

Uh, I don't know if they're great weapons. Better for fixing things.

Shdw wolf: *Looks at you unamused.*

@Stabby

*Continues grinning*

*Shrugs and smiles widely*
Thank you!

@Webmaster

No problem. It was the least I could do, or maybe the most. Now you can use your duct tape and glue and such for better things.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Really? How did you do that?

@Webmaster

*Grins* Trade secret.

*The pipes end up empty*

@Webmaster

Success! *The wall disappears and I walk out, no longer wet* All fixed! No more gas again, ever. Presumably.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

...

@Webmaster

*Coalesces* Hurrah, no more gas. This cotton candy is probably inedible, though. *Hamsters appear all over the pipes and begin eating the cotton candy until there is none left; then they disappear*

*The system continues for several miles through interconnecting passages and reconnects to itself as a closed system without a source*

@Webmaster

*All the gas turns into cotton candy*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*The gas moves into a large and elaborate pipe system*

@Webmaster

*Continues scanning for a possible source*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*The pipe falls off and floods the corridor with gas, pumping more out the door and the manhole*

@Webmaster

*The wall prevents gas from escaping to the outside, so it concentrates the room, but I siphon the gas out into space through a portal* Okay, now to get rid of the problem indefinitely. Gas, gas, gas, what are you and where did you come from? *I collapse into a ball of gas, enter the pipe system, and scan for the source*
