[We interrupt your canon bump with a virus]

[boostup4beetbuster]

[Jin has a chair tilted back as he looks over the Go-Busters' weapons, working on repairs.]

Man, that Escape was something else. You know, it figures--you meet a pretty avatar and she tries to kill you.

[That's when the virus hits. And before he has the chance to register that he's suddenly younger, he falls backwards and hits the floor.]

OW!

[A pause as he realizes what that means.]

...That should not hurt that bad. J!

Comments

[juicy_egotist]

You called? [Woman J in the house.]

[boostup4beetbuster]

[Jin manages to pull himself off the floor.]

J, I got a problem. Some kind of community thing, I think.]

[Give it a minute, then...]

WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE?!

[Yes. He's pointing at your boobs, J.]

[juicy_egotist]

It seems that way.

[J looks down and shrugs.] Flotation devices. Coupled with a change in my voice box.

[boostup4beetbuster]

THOSE ARE NOT FLOTATION DEVICES! THEY'RE BOOBS! AND I DEFINITELY DIDN'T DESIGN YOU WITH BOOBS!

...Although my now hormonal mind is wondering why the hell I didn't do that.

[juicy_egotist]

So perhaps now I am a woman.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Oi, J...

[And then his stomach starts growling.]

...I'm too hungry to argue. Damn. I haven't been hungry in thirteen years.

[juicy_egotist]

We will find you some food. Perhaps some of Yoko's snacks later on to tide you over.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Good idea. But damn, what am I going to eat? It's been 13 years since I was last hungry.

[juicy_egotist]

Fried chicken. We will go and get you some.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, that sounds good.

[Oh, look who they're passing. Hiromu. Who is busy STARING at Lady J and Teen Jin.]

Hey, Hiromu. Got a body, albeit younger. Also, J has boobs. We're going out for fried chicken.

[And sure enough, that freezes up poor NPC Hiromu.]

[timey_wimey]

... well. That was unexpected.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, no kidding. But hey, virus gave me a body, I'm gonna take advantage of it.

...Too bad that with me underage, half my bucket list is illegal.

[timey_wimey]

Ah, well. You win some, you lose some.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, nothing's perfect. Anyway, in the meantime, I haven't been hungry, needed a bath, or even used the bathroom in the past thirteen years, so I'm going to indulge.

[timey_wimey]

By all means, indulge away. Don't let me stop you.

[sandinmyboots]

Careful with the chair!

[HELLO, ANON FRIEND]

[boostup4beetbuster]

[Sometime later. There is chicken.]

Yo. They should really have warnings about incoming viruses, like when I'm in a chair like that.

[sandinmyboots]

[....that is some delicious looking chicken there]

I know! They pop up at the worst times!

[boostup4beetbuster]

[Jin holds up a drumstick.] Want some? I ordered a whole bucket. [Because why the hell not?]

[sandinmyboots]

You've read my mind. Let me get a hop over.

[HE HUNGERS]

[boostup4beetbuster]

Sure, come on. Think you can use one of those bookshelves here. [Look--he's improvised a bookshelf! So it's a collection of comic books and some engineering textbooks mostly shoved in a corner, but it still counts!]

[sandinmyboots]

For what?

[Does he use it as a plate?]

[boostup4beetbuster]

Mostly public worldhop I heard about. And it doubles as a table.

[sandinmyboots]

Woah! Is it magic or technology? Fire it up!

[boostup4beetbuster]

...That's a good question. Guess probably magic.

All right, just grab a book, and you should be good to go.

[His "fire it up" consisted of...taking some of his crap off the bookshelf.]
