how many times can i write 'balls' in one post??

BALLS.

BALLS EVERYWHERE.

GIANT STICKY BALLS TUMBLING ABOUT.

Well not exactly.  Starscream would like to refer to them as Passive Containment Units... but they are effectively... Giant balls.  Bubbles perhaps, that are rolling every which way in the plaza.  The moment one just bumps into a person, it sort of just absorbs them in, leaving them as hapless and stuck as a hamster in a well... hamster ball.  Oxygen thankfully seems to permeate them so there's no chance of suffocation... they're just really... truly... inconvenient.

Starscream has been dreaming of this moment for... well a month or two at least, that's about how long he's been in the Nexus.  And when you're essentially a ghost without a body and not much motivation to do anything PRODUCTIVE... you end up doing something that's just going to end up pissing a lot of people off and probably ruin their morning.  Sticky Balls of Doom.  All in all it's business as usual for Starscream.

"Excellent..." the terrible seeker in question smirks as he observes the chaos.  This is the first field test and he honestly couldn't be happier with the results.  He only wished he could be firing the ball canon himself.  Sadly he was currently without a body for himself so he relegated that task to his two little lab assistants.  Rumble and Frenzy barely needed any convincing to do the task.  He instructed them to just scamper about firing balls wildly and at will from their individual ball blasters.

Now there were giant bouncing balls everywhere!

"HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR ANTIVIOLENCE FIELD NOW NEXUS?!" he screeches dramatically, with a manic cackle.

It seemed as if some people had figured out how to escape the balls.  Not by brute force but by gently but firmly pushing against the ball's membrane until one pops out the other side.  Covered in a film of slime of course but otherwise free.  Starscream makes a mental note to look into that and fix it for next time.  This is why field testing is so important!

(( ooc: cleared it with a mod that the Antiviolence would not effect hamsterballing a character! Your character will only be trapped in a ball if you want them there and write it in.  Otherwise I will assume they are free for the moment and just privy to seeing the chaos. ))
