ROYGBVM

Hi there! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o 

This is our intro post just so that anyone looking here has an idea of what’s going on! This blog is to keep tabs on our current running experiment, project rainbow. 

The experiment has been running for around 15 months, it is unknown how much longer it will run. The first 3 months were a preparation period, including running tests and checks to see if this would work. Months 4, 5, and 6 were spent on gestation of the subject, which was a success. From month 6 and on was spent on raising the subject. Currently he is 9 months old, however his development rate seems to be accelerated as he has the mind and body of a 3 year old child. 

Project rainbow, typically just called Rainbow, seems to also have multiple abilities, currently recorded as of this log are his very minor electrical abilities, the ability to float/fly, and major plant manipulation abilities. There are also suspicions of teleportation. All in all, the current focus is raising him and seeing what happens. 

Whew, a whole load of words in quite the formal way! Now, let’s get on with each of the introductions from our scientists!

Blaze

Wait what are we supposed to do here? Oh just talk about ourselves and what we’re doing here? Okay.. Uh hi I’m Blaze Red Steve, I’m the teams data logger, since I made the programs used to, well, log the data, and I can use it the most efficiently… also I’m a fire type, meaning that there’s a high chance Patchworks is gonna end up like me.

Amber

Hi!! I’m Amber Orange Steve! I’m the teams supply runner, usually also keeping track of our inventory! There’s a whole lot of stuff in this lab that needs to be looked over, and if we ever need to get anything new, I’m the guy for that! I’m also the resident doctor since I’m a healing type, but it’s not common for anyone here to get sick. Getting hurt on the other hand…

Storm 

What up, I’m Storm Yellow Steve. I’m the local analyst and interpreter of data. I end up dealing with most of the paperwork too, since unfortunately that’s something we have to deal with. I’m one of those lucky combo types, meaning Firework might end up having to deal with speed as well as his ongoing electric abilities.

Clover

Hello. I’m Clover Green Steve. I run the actual experiment part of most projects we do here, as I am the most experienced of it. You may already know me from my past experiments and inventions, like plant bombs, and the high pressure water laser. My ability is plant manipulation.

Coral

Hey, I’m Coral Blue Steve. I’m working as supervisor and maintenance in this lab. Any sort of experiment for this project has to be run through me first, and I also make sure that the building here doesn’t fall apart, seeing as I have water abilities and our lab is under water now, due to the risk of Droplet throwing himself out another window.  

Aether

I’m Aether Purple Steve. I run security here, and I’m an extra pair of hands to help around. I can teleport.

Berry

And finally! I’m Berry Violet Steve! o(∩_∩)o I run all communications with the outside world since I’m the only person who can actually use the system, other than Blaze (but between you and me, he wouldn’t be best suited to communicate with the outside (＾＿－)≡★) also my ability is minor mind control.

Annnnnnd I believe that’s everyone! (⌒▽⌒)  

We do also have an ask box that’s always open! Feel free to drop by and interact with us!!!

At least he?? Enjoyed it?? Enrichment for baby??

Clover might have to put some extra padlocks on their lab though I fear. No idea if we’ve just given Rainbow a love for shredding plants

[Clover seems to be holding a clipboard as he checks on plants, glasses on his face as he inspects them closely.]

[Rainbow is behind him, curiously looking at another plant. He glances over at Clover, making sure he’s facing away. Once he confirms that, Rainbow leans toward the plant, looking directly at Clover as he goes to put it in his mouth.]

That one’s poisonous.

[Clover doesn’t even stop what he’s doing, let alone turn around.]

[Rainbow reluctantly moves away from it, a small pout on his lips.]

[He goes to do the same to a different plant, only to hear a sigh and immediately get wrapped up in vines and lifted off the ground.]

Alright… ready… set… GO! CATCH!

[Clover throws out a disc, it flys out in the air in a large arc. Rainbow is running after it, his arm out as he runs towards it to catch it.]

[Rainbow is shredding through the wood like a termite]

[He seems to be chewing through the wood so easily that it’s practically sawdust.]

Ok uhhh. Plan b? Anyone? Cause otherwise he’s just gonna eat more wires. The best thing I’ve come up with is a rock or a piece of hardwood or something smeared with some jam to make it taste nice

(Also how is baby getting their vitamin d at the bottom of the ocean??)

So… how good would a brick of sugar be..?

[Storm holds up a literal brick made of sugar. It’s clear even he doesn’t think this is the best idea.]

So instead of that terrible idea :) how about we listen to the helpful people :)

A stick boiled in jam juice!

Dude that’s less of a stick and more of a whole tree branch

…Do you think we can teach him how to play fetch with that?

Vitamin D? Yeah, we did struggle with that for a bit when we moved underwater, but turns out there was a pretty simple solution.

[Blaze pulls down a lever, opening a hatch. Water and fish pour out of the door in droves, with the water disappearing down a drain, leaving only the fish behind.]

Oh my Gin.

[The feed cuts out for a moment before coming back. Multiple people are once again restraining Rainbow while pieces of the toy are picked out of his teeth. He keeps trying to bite down, but someone else is holding his jaw open.]

[Notably, Aether is standing to the side, holding the chewed up necklace.]

Eugh.

…we had to pump his stomach

Also im giving Rainbow one of those chewable necklaces. Hopefully they stop eating the wires (atleast for a bit)

aggggdgsgdfujgjjgkvskfkyjhhhjfllgjfhhgghdhdhdggggfrrrrggrrrrrr

*He ate through the chew toy*

Should ' ve expected that

Give him a piece of honey comb after he eats the glow berry , I figured he wouldn ' t be able to handle the sour taste

EXCERPT FROM LOG #592

Oh! Amber! Good timing.

Hm? What’s up?

I got a couple of new orders here from higher up, some of these are directed at you

Ad… ad… ad… Coral, how do we get junkmail in the bottom of the ocean?

I dunno, it’s just what’s in the mail

Oh..! Finally actually something. More food tests! Kelp… sweet berries… honey…? He can’t have that

Really? I mean if it’s written on the sheet by the elders we can’t really-

No, Coral. He can’t have honey, he’s only 10 months old. On the paper they’ve noted that he seems to physically and mentally be around three or four but that doesn’t mean his immune system is developed enough for that! He’s been kept in isolation from the outside world for this reason, they should know better than to demand a test that could make him sick, or worse, kill him!

Is there any way we could appease them?

Do you want to spend another year and a half restarting all of this because the first kid died of botulism? You can’t always bend over backwards for the elders!

I suggest feeding him glow berries , not the wild ones you find on bushes .

They surprisingly have a lot of beneficial vitamins and are a good body cleanser ^ _ ^

EXCERPT FROM LOG #638

Pleeeaaasseeee.. Please sweetie just try it…

I know, I know, it’s a food you haven’t seen before but you should try it before making any judgement on it

Come on, just try one with me, okay?

Three… two… one… yum!

…Bow, I can see you’re not chewing…

*sigh*

He’s teething, his second fangs are coming in.

*Rainbow seems to have bitten down on Aether’s arm, and is hanging limply with his teeth being the only thing keeping him from falling. He’s audibly growling and wiggling.*

*Aether seems unfazed, despite how obviously hard Rainbow’s biting.*

It’s a common thing both purple and red steves go through, so we expected this to happen at some point.

*With a swift motion, Aether jabs his finger into Rainbow’s mouth and unhooks him cleanly. There is a noticeable tear in his sweater from where Rainbow was biting down.*

Seriously, I can’t believe he’s been going off and doing this while we weren’t looking.

I hadn’t even noticed any missing chunks of wires, where did he get this from?

He’s been teleporting into the vents and wandering in there. He even ripped out the filter for the labs. That’s why the plants managed to get out.

Oh thank Gen he didn’t eat the actual plants…

*Clover waves his hands, vines sprouting from some of the plants that were ripped out the computer. They take Rainbow from Aether, still holding him in place and holding his mouth open. Aether gives a nod of approval and backs away.*

There is absolutely No Way that much redstone is safe for consumption.

It’s not. I’ve seen it happen too many times, it often leads to someone coughing up red dust for days.

*Amber points over at Coral in a come hither motion. Coral pulls moisture out of the air as he moves closer, using the water to rinse the powdered parts of the redstone out of his mouth. Rainbow loudly yells through the water in complaint, but none of the others seem phased.*

At least we know what to fix now…

It’s lighting up! It’s lighting up!

So. It’ll work fine but… There’s no power…

I… I can’t kuh… Keep doing this…

No [REDACTED], that’s why we use redstone power sources. Infinite energy supply without having to keep on harvesting it.

We. We did connect the main power, right?

Yeah, it’s connected. Neither of us are stupid enough to leave it disconnected.

*Everyone turns to the concentrated redstone plug powering the computer. It is plugged in. Blaze and Storm seem to sigh in relief at the sight. That would have been embarrassing if they really had forgotten.*

We’ve done all we can. It’s some other issue now.

*VWOOP* I found the issue.

*Aether is holding Rainbow in his hands. The child is biting down on a chunk of wire.*

*Everyone looks at Rainbow for a moment, as they all let out exasperated noises.*

I’d ask if you gave it a few good hits but…

Oh I gave it some hits alright.

What if we just…

*Clover grabs ahold of Storm, practically yanking him away from Amber.*

Hey!! I’m still working on his hands!

Electrocute the computer. 

what

:( I wasn’t looking I didn’t realize it was his…
