Return Of The Newts

Who: Tara,Keto,Coffey,Phil,Wildflower,Alota,Vanessa,DJ,wholedamnship
Where: The medibay, what, you expect me to post somewhere else?
When: 22 hours, 59 minutes and 30 seconds after the Newt Ointment
=============================
"Thirty seconds," said Coffey, twitching her nose and then frowning
at it, struggling to remember that she was no longer a chipmunk.
Alota and Wildflower were standing next to another medibunk, which
had the freshly fainted Phil lying on it*, and glancing nervously at
the two newts - the Tara-Newt atop Phil's old bunk, and the Keto-Newt
scrabbling furiously at the sides of his jar.
"Hey, do you think perhaps we should let him out of there?" asked
Alota, nodding towards the jar.
"Twenty seconds," announced Coffey, glancing at her watch.
Wildflower and Alota looked at each other.
"Naaah," they agreed, and continued trying to wake Phil up.
"Ten seconds," said Coffey, then glanced at Keto and frowned.
"Wait a minute," she said slowly, "If he turns back into full-size
Keto instantly, then what'll happen to the jar."
"Ahh, it'll probably just explode..." said Alota.
There was a pause as they took this in.
"TWO SECONDS!" yelled Coffey, and suddenly they all dived for
cover, Wildflower and Alota pulling over the medibunk so that it
shielded them (and Phil), Coffey ducking behind the opened door of a
medicloset**. The other injured occupants of the medibay glanced up
curiously, unaware of what was about to happen.
In the end, it was rather disappointing.
There were two quiet thunderclaps of air and a sound of shattering
glass. Rather than shards of glass being sent hurtling into walls,
floor, ceiling and flesh, there was just a slight pop as the jar
broke in half, leaving Keto standing in one half and wearing the
other.
"I do hope," he growled, "That you're not expecting ME to clean
this u..."
He was interrupted as Tara, back in her normal form, tackled him
and brought him crashing to the floor.
There was a yelp, then a couple of screams of "NO! Not again!",
and then Tara stood back up.
"There," she said satisfiedly, and turned away. Behind her, Keto
stood up.
"I am not amused," he growled, trying to wipe the lipstick from his
face.

OOC: Hmm, possibly the medibay should treat some of these injured
people to get rid of them...
HA! Had you for a second there, didn't I! Treat people, ahh, I
crack me up... ;)
*Sorry, Phil, I'm not sure if that 'new face' you mentioned was e.g.
Vanessa or was someone completely new...if I've accidentally steam-
rollered your plans, feel free to steam-roller mine in return. ;)
