[OPEN, Melting Clock Plot] Breathe

Lash was a changed person.

In her own world just a year ago, she had been part of Black Hole's best and brightest - a Commanding Officer that followed orders and worked towards the world-conquering goal with evil glee. She was feared, respected and loathed by her enemies. That had changed when she had escaped with Hawke due to treason for finding out Von Bolt's real plan - draining the world's resources so he could achieve immortality. In the end, they had teamed up with Orange Star and both became heroes for it. It gave her a taste of many things. Caring about others, even if she never outright said it, teaming up, even learning about how to eat properly. They had emerged victorious.

The year or so since she had awoken in Stacy had enforced that little growing spark which had been carefully fed the last few weeks in her homeworld. While at first hesitant to find people she liked, Lash slowly began to call those around her her friends, even if it was hard to do admit them as such. You couldn't just become nice or care overnight. But they had worked really well at it, bringing her out of her shell and accepting Lash for who she was. Heck, she even seemed worthy enough to be part of a Ranger group and defending the universe. Who would have thought all of that from someone who had such a dark history?

Then it all came crashing down. After the battle last week, the morpher started to malfunction and she could barely transform for her training. No one else seemed to have this problem, so Lash assumed it simply was a result of what had happened - she had overworked herself that day and it simply might have used up more juice than the others or had badly reacted to the CO powers. Nothing seemed wrong with it, so obviously the problem was herself. Just give it a few more days and it would be fine!

Maybe if she had told her friends her history in more detail, they might have noticed was wrong. The effects of the clock were a little more subdued on her at first, and instead of years, just days at a time. And she didn't question the fact that she didn't remember their victory over Von Bolt, only the tension at the final battle. Memories slowly started to leave, but she didn't remember them, only a small nagging feeling that something was wrong. The morpher, on the other hand, worked when someone was good and pure and as the clock receded, Lash was becoming less and less so. The memories inside Stacy stayed in her head, which caused her to become confused at some of the things she had said. Maybe she had become nicer because she had been here? Just what was going on?

A few days ago it had completely ceased to function. Maybe it knew something terrible was about to happen and the last thing the crew needed was psycho ranger. Lash obviously didn't know what was going on, except it made her nervous. Like when she...wait. What was she nervous about, again? She couldn't remember that too. She'd been running with Hawke for some reason. Lash had looked at her morpher with an odd curiosity, wondering if her mind had been playing tricks on her. After all, why would she be good? After all she...she..

She'd always worked for Black Hole.

And who knew what fake and false memories Stacy could implant inside her. Maybe..no, that was it! All these memories had to be false. Fake! Tricking her into thinking she had turned good! That she, pffft actually cared about people! What a load of crap. She was Lash, Black Hole Wunderkind Genius. And she wasn't going to let all those stupid, so-called friends try to tricking her that she was nice.

Today, she'd take back her mind. Things were definitely about to get really complicated.

[[OOC - Lash can be found all over the ship in the next couple of days. Just tell me where you character runs into them, and we can work from there. Just remember, she will probably not be very nice anymore. 8D]]

Ron? Was using the Sensoriums to cook, as he often did. Today, it was pizza in the oven, and the boy was using the cooking time to make lemonade. Rufus handed the teen a lemon, which the boy was about to start juicing.

Ron was blissfully unaware of Lash's return to evil.

"Oh, Hey Lash." Ron said, not really noticing the glare. "Need anything? I'm baking a pizza, but it's gonna take just a bit longer."

"Ha ha. Very funny Lash" said Ron, before the tank ran over the oven.

"...that...THAT WAS REAL PIZZA. What the hell Lash?!"

^_^ It's been far too long, how've you been?

Beastboy was doing his best to distract himself today. It seemed the ship was dissolving into chaos yet again and when that happened who knew when the call would be put out for a one man animal kingdom to come to the rescue.

But without a call what was he to do? So at the moment he was wandering the halls, throwing a ball and then turning into a dog to chase it.

This was a surprisingly therapeutic and relaxing task.

Though this is Beastboy after all and he's never been very good at thinking too far ahead. Like who he might hit with the ball or crash into as a dog...

"Oh, you want to play a game?" Ron replied in the exact same tone of voice Lash was using. He concentrated slightly.

"HOW ABOUT MUSICAL CHAIRS!" Said a kid's show host in a bear costume from right behind Lash. Suddenly she was beset upon by adorable purple-and-green t-rexes, giant yellow birds, and puppets as far as the eye could see.

Oh don't you dare hold back now~ He's been doing too well lately.

A sharp yelp filled the hall and Beastboy saw stars as he stumbled and crashed to the ground, rolling another step and shifting back to his human form flat on his back looking up at Lash with a dazed look, and a distinctive ball shaped mark in the center of his face.

"OW!" He moaned and clutched at his face after the stunning had worn off.

"Man, I don't think Mister Sitdown is gonna like that very much. Right Mister Sitdown?"

The only response? A giant yellow Teletubby-like figure sat on Lash and her tank with a squeaking noise, pinning both down.

Bwahahaha so cold!

Beastboy lay baffled, floored by the words that had just entered his ears. Clearly he had a concussion from the strike in the face because that couldn't have been what he heard could it? So straight and to the point? No teasing? Not even a friendly hello?

"Oh um...sorry?" He rolled out of the way and sat up still rubbing his head where the mark was, "Um...you OK Lash?"
morphitudinous: (Figuring it out)

Uh...somewhere in the City, I think

Poor Billy had no forewarning. Instead, he had a pile of plans and a newly clean bill of health that was sure not to last too long.

He spotted Lash in the clearing, concern appearing on his face. "Hey, I finally made it out. I can check things for you now if you'd like?"

And to think he should be happy today, it's free comic book day

Beastboy blinked and jumped to his feet chasing after her at a light trot. Something about this seemed oddly familiar though he just couldn't place it.

"Well if you're gonna kick someone at least make it someone who's worth it. I'm too handsome for my face to have a footprint on it you know?"

"Yeeah, they're not gonna let you do that on a kid's show. Puppets threatening to kill people are a big nono." He said, turning her into a muppet with orange-capped toy guns.

;_; I spent like 100$ on comics...on "free" comic book day. Oh Irony

Beastboy's ears dropped and he actually felt a sting from those words. He was used to being teased naturally. He did it himself all the time for a laugh. But this was different, this was more...serious?

"Geeze what bug crawled up your butt today?" He exclaimed in a wounded retaliation.
