Description
Day 14 of my 30 day Challange....which I have already failed by missing five days."Thanks, pardner!" Rover tipped his hat to the three-headed borista as he took his green, glowing drink. He stepped away from the little hole in the wall and into the massive corridor of Java Station. Creatures of every shape and size walked leasurly along the universe's largest collection coffee shops and tea houses and cafe's.
"What did you get?" Flyspur asked, sipping leisurely at his teacup full of a teal brew from 9075434-T.
"I haven't the foggiest." Rover examined the glowing bubbles in his drink with curious glee. "Just pointed at ingredients."
"Rover..." Flyspur gave his friend a concerned look. "Shouldn't you have..."
Rover took a long draw of the drink through the swirly straw. The captain shook his head with a massive grin. "Whooee! That thing has some kick in it!"
"It looks interesting." But Flyspur said, looking down at his own drink as he walked. But then stopped as he realized Rover was no longer at his side. He turned around to see Rover standing in the middle of the corridor looking like he was about to sneeze. "What?"
"Blue...I think...." His knees buckled and he dropped face-first to the floor like a sack of potatoes.
Flyspur gasped. "Rover! Are you alright!?"
Rover mumbled something unintelligible, his face smashed against the floor.
He scooped up Rover's drink from where it had fallen, and pulled up the ingredients list. He let out an annoyed chuff through his nostrils and flicked his tail, reading aloud one of the warnings. "'Micro arilli crystals may cause temporary paralysis in carbon-based life forms.' Don't you ever read the ingredients warnings?"
Rover's mechanical index finger raised and he said something into the floor.
"I don't care if it sounded tasty. You need to be more careful."
A shadow engulfed both of them and something rumbled behind Flyspur. "The lounging areas are designated by chairs and benches at the edge of the corridors not in the center."
Flyspur turned around to see a pair of knees. He craned his neck to look up...and up...and up.... to a creature that looked to be a cross between a rhino, an alligator and a pigeon. It had a shiny, official-looking badge pinned to it's massive chest. "Um...I'm afraid he had a negative reaction to his coffee." Flyspur explained.
"I don't care. Get him out of the road. He's a tripping hazard." The creature's voice was so loud and deep, Flyspur could feel it in his feet.
Rover's finger moved again, seemingly the only part of his body that could move, and said something unintelligible.
"I would be happy to if I could get some assist--"
"My rounds will bring me back here in ten minutes. If he is still there I'm fining both of you."
Flyspur watched the massive officer lumber off. He looked down at Rover, a massive lump on the floor that was a good deal over three times Flyspur's weight. How in the world was he supposed to move him?
......
There WILL be a sequel to this.

Maybe Rover has some kind of one in his arm. Being as it looks like it's the of his body working now, maybe that will help somehow.
I guess paralyzing coffee has a similar effect as a 30-day challenge. Yeah, he's done well with his!
Don't feel bad though, things happen and you need to take are of yourself. I told myself I'd draw digital every day of June too, but I've missed the last... Let me see. Yikes, 10 days! And that's just from laziness. So you're justified. You haven't failed!

Whoops. A funny part about a paralysis in my universe is that a certain character's cybernetics can work around the block, so though she can't use her real parts, but she could use the cybernetic limbs.

Yeah. That's what's going on with Rover right now. That's why his arm is still working.

Makes sense. Krys has an arm and a leg that are cybernetic.

It would make a difference if the cybernetics were controled by the muscle of the stump or directly from the brain. If they are controlled by the left over muscles then they would be paralyzed along with the muscles that control them. But if they are controlled directly from the brain, like Rover, who has a corresponding chip in his head, then theoretically they should still work as long as the person is able to think.

Krys has the chip in her head too. Doc stuffed it in without ever asking, because Doc likes to do that sort of thing.

Lol, always read the labels Rover, they are there for a reason. Nice job.
Don't feel too bad about missing some days, health problems and unpredictable problems cant be helped. I say just keep going for it.
I finished mine today, 30 days straight no misses.

Yeeeah. He really needs to get that into his head.
Thank you!
Well, yeah. I was like...dead for several days. And I'm trying to auxillery this month too. I wish I had thought about that before I picked this month to do it.
So AWESOME! Did you learn a few things about Orion?

I was wondering about you time for the month, hopefully you can make it up or get close or whatever
Thanks, and yes, yes I did. Some of the stuff was already known but I still was able to expand him some more.
