Helium is quite a fun voice-changing gas, but...it IS a gas, and one affected by heat. Naturally, the volatile qualities of some gasses is something a fire-type lizard like me must remember, but sometimes one can forget in lieu of wanting to do something fun, especially on my birthday. ^.^;

Well, it certainly doesn't help that the helium tank I breathed from was a bit broken (or rigged?), pumping much, much more of the gas into me than I expected. In my surprise, I accidentally flared up my tail-flame, quickly heating the gasses stored in my belly. Which expanded said gasses...and quite quickly, I might add!

Next thing I knew, somebody had tied two strings around my now-ball-shaped form, keeping me from rising too high as I floated in a group of my birthday balloons...

Heyyy...this wasn't an accident, was it? >..o I've got such mischievous friends...

This was drawn up by   Kitsune-Kajiru quite a while back, and was a birthday present for me that I never got to submitting. ^.^; My birthday was back on July 19th, for those that don't know.

I do like a good inflation picture, but the balloony nature of this one likely makes it the cutest inflation art I've ever been in. <3 Much thanks, Kaj!

I wonder if anyone would buy a Charem-balloon if they were manufactured irl...? :P
