"Come on... come on!"
He was on the edge of a groundbreaking discovery - a new sort of elixir made with the fluorescent mushrooms that grew like weeds in this seemingly never ending forest. It had taken Augustus a long time to gather up what he needed for his project and he had been ready to discover something absolutely revolutionary. Though, if one knew the quirky scientist well enough, they would know that his "experiments" often ended in a ball of fiery disaster. He doesn't know why, but more than half of his little experiments and whatnot often exploded in his face. He would much rather have them, say, turn into useless glow-y goop than anything else.
Ah, well, it never deterred Augustus from focusing on what he believed needed to be done. With a dash of powder, everything should be well and done, right? He would have finally made something in this odd place. Augustus was just about as out of place as anyone could get. An outsider. He simply didn't belong (and he knew this fact very well) but the fact that he didn't belong in this magical, scholarly group didn't bother him by far. In fact, it intrigued him. He wondered how such a place could exist when everywhere else was... plain. Augustus made his home here because he was hellbent on figuring out its secrets and, of course, lend a helping hand to everyone else like the good Samaritan he was!
His paws tilting slightly over the beaker in front of him, grassy eyes intensely watched the reactions occurring from within the beaker once he added his final ingredient. And then - nothing. Nothing happened. He had squeezed his eyes shut instinctively, bracing himself for the explosion to come, but none came. Slowly, his eyes fluttered open, and there, within the beaker, its contents were glowing. "Success! Finally!" Heavy accent ringing out, filled with enthusiastic delight, the mousy brown tom picked up the glowing beaker and carefully made his way out of his tree-house. He used the staircase to get down to the lower levels so he could proudly show off his creation - a way to turn invisible! Wouldn't Runic and the others be proud of him?
"Hey guys, guess what -" He shouted to anyone within the vicinity before pausing abruptly. A silent gasp left Augustus as the beaker suddenly began to get hot. He dropped it quickly, the beaker landing on the ground before a resonating BOOM went off right in camp. All of the beaker's icky gooey contents splashed onto August's face, neon blue in color and quickly turning into a discolored grey, and dribbled down his cheeks and face. "Ugh..." He muttered, "Guess I spoke too soon..."
