He sat frowning at his hat. Well, it was SHAPED like his hat at any rate but other than that there were very few similarities. It was white, for starters, and had several multi-colored dots all over it, polka dots if you will. The band was bright blue and had a heart tucked into it which was also in rainbow colors. This did not please the platypus secret agent at all. He twirled it around in his paws several times before sighing and tossing it aside.

Maybe he could find a better hat in the boxes. But there only seemed to be more rainbow colored hats in the boxes.

Amaterasu had wandered down to the theatrical deck as per usual to look for more painting supplies. She hadn't noticed anything had changed until she spotted a full-length mirror near the costumes...and realized that she was now covered from nose to tail in a full neon rainbow of leopard spots.

Now, Ammy was frantically trying to figure out a way to remove the spots, which mostly amounted to her running in circles to see if these things could be even be washed off.

It was then that she ran into Perry, and she whined at him. Where'd all these things come from? It looks like she was sick now!

[ttlynotanagent]

He heard the whining before Ammy got close enough to see. At first he wondered what the problem was but then, when he saw her, he realized what it was.

More rainbow spots.

Perry blinked and then stood up. He gave Ammy a once over and then rubbed at one of the spots. No. They seemed like they were part of her fur now, not just paint or something. He glanced around and then, nearby, spotted a white paint can. He held it up as if to offer it to her. Maybe they could paint over them?

[yabigfurball]

Ammy watched as Perry tried to rub out the spots...and no, it looked like these things were in her fur just as much as her normal red markings. They probably wouldn't go away, even with a bath.

When Perry offered the white paint, however, Ammy looked rather unsure...rainbow spots didn't look great, but being covered in white paint may not be much improvement.

[ttlynotanagent]

Yeah, she was probably right there. Perry shrugged, he'd have to take more time to come up with a better idea, and set the buckets back down.

Still, it looked like it was effecting more than just his hat. Maybe it would go away with time?

[yabigfurball]

Ammy just sighed. There were likely worse things to live with, if it was just for the week, at least.

She gave him a look that seemed to say 'I hope so.' She then cocked her head at Perry in confusion...so, it happened to his hat, too? Were there any normal hats left now?

[ttlynotanagent]

If there were he hadn't found any yet. Perry made a face and kicked over a box to prove his point. There were several hats there in every shade of bright color you could imagine and over half of them covered in strange patterns and sparkles...lots of sparkles.

Perry huffed and moved a few of the hats around with his foot just to be sure and then gave up.

Yep, he was stuck with it.

[yabigfurball]

Ammy sniffed at the hats that Perry spilled...yup, those were some pretty sparkly hats. One of them was a pink cowboy hat, and another looked like a polka-dot dunce cap. It looked like Perry was pretty frustrated.

She looked back to his own hat, and gave him an encouraging look...even if it was sparkly and colorful now, it was still his hat, right?

[ttlynotanagent]

Perry picked up the hat. Yeah, it was still his hat. He couldn't just toss it out because it looked like this. Perry put it back on his head. Well, if Ammy was going to suffer with those spots then he could deal with a hat.

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy nodded her approval. Even all rainbow and sparkles, it still seemed to suit him best.]

[Of course, that still leaves them with the problem of what to do with all these spots and things. It looks like all of the Satellite is affected by this stuff. She then looks a little worried...is all the plant life on the nature deck affected, too?]

[ttlynotanagent]

[Well, Perry WAS good at pulling off just about any look. After all, he was a suave platypus.

Perry notices Ammy's worried look and tilts his head. What's wrong?]

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy pulls out a sheet of paper, and a gel pen. It looks like someone has replaced her normal ink brush, too, since now she's forced to draw in sparkly purple:]



[Has anything gone nuts with everything on the nature deck?]

[ttlynotanagent]

[Perry looks at the picture and then shakes his head. He's not sure, he hasn't been down there yet.]

[yabigfurball]

[Ammy nods with her head towards the deck stairs. Whether or not he wants to come along, she'll probably go check up on it.]

[ttlynotanagent]

[He decides to sit it out. He wants to see if there is just ONE hat that is even a SEMI decent color. He waves Ammy off though, giving her a look that says if she needs any more help to come find him.]
