Open RP: Wherein Potion accidents result in... happiness?

[canes-can-kill.livejournal.com]

When you're stuck in a castle with hardly any interesting medical cases and a slight tendency to be self-destructive when you're bored, trying to make advanced potions ends up being a really good idea. Especially when you've never tried to make a simple potion, because everything is that much more dangerous and unpredictable.

He'd tried to make some kind of pain relief potion, which he thought had turned out okay. So, it was an obscenely bright orange when it was supposed to be dark blue. That didn't matter. In the end, taking some of it sounded like a good idea, at the time.

Except for the fact that he'd mixed up one of the ingredients. Instead of fluxweed, he'd used Ipomoea violecea (more commonly known as the "beach moonflower"). To House, it didn't seem all that weird when the walls suddenly turned blue and a giant elephant started dancing with an anteater on top of the tables. It was pretty funny, actually. And naturally, the only reaction when the anteater walked out of the room was to follow it.

With a giggle that could only be termed as 'explosive', House started wandering the hallways to follow the anteater - caneless, and it was kinda weird that he couldn't walk properly. But these things matter not to a man when he is following a purple anteater. Life was great! And he had a mission, here, after all.

((Be warned; you may get hugged or talked at a lot.))

Oh god, House really hoped it wasn't a zombie anteater. He'd had quite enough of zombies for one lifetime, thank you very much. The last one had tried to eat his brain - anteaters would probably be even better at trying to do that.

"I don't want it to be a zombie!" He blurted, squinting his eyes at the girl that had knocked him over. "And I don't think I can. I think I have a peg-leg."

((Again approved.))

Tomo looks around wildly. "I don't see any zombies around here! But if any show up, I can take 'em! You'll be fine; no zombie's gonna get past Tomo Takino!"

She blinks at his comment. "You think? Hey, I can check!" Without even waiting for a reply, she kneels down and pushes up his pant legs, just enough to reveal two very non-wooden ankles (which she pokes for good measure). "Nope. They look like two real legs to me!"

He's still lying there, and it finally occurs to her to ask, "Hey, you need help getting up?"

She could keep zombies away? Awesome. Maybe he wouldn't have to fear the return of the brain-eating zombie, or the possibly zombified anteater. Had he been sober, he likely would have freaked right out when she just rolled up his pant-legs, but as it was, he just grinned stupidly. He didn't have peg-legs!

"Nope," he slurred, rolling his head on the ground from side to side. The world kinda blurred, and it looked pretty cool. "I can see the whole galaxy from here! You should try it!"

Tomo looks up. "Galaxy? I just see a ceiling. HEY! You have X-ray vision? That's cool!"
